Orphaned

It was a warm day. Rina woke up with the sun in her eyes and the breeze against her face. She sat up and stretched her arms far above her head, her tired joints cracking.

She looked over to Jungkook.

He was still asleep like he usually was at this time. He had his blanket up to his chin, soft breaths leaving his open lips every couple of seconds. His hair was sticking up around his head like he'd been rubbed with a balloon.

He looked adorable.

Rina exhaled, pushing herself to her feet. The ground was hard under her body, but she had become accustomed to their living situation long ago.

The hard dirt didn't bother her anymore.

She knew Jungkook would wake up within ten minutes. It was like he could sense that she was up and moving around. It didn't matter when she woke up, he always followed within ten minutes.

She dusted the excess dirt off of her clothes, then turned towards the stores that were just down the block from their bridge.

She set off with the change in her pocket.

Jungkook really liked yogurt for breakfast. He didn't like it when she added fruit to his small meal, but he always ate it anyway. It was better for him if he ate the fruit as well.

The cashier didn't comment on the young girl's appearance. He was used to seeing her. In fact, he set aside the yogurt and strawberries that she collected every morning. She was fifteen, and he was completely enamored with her.

Puberty had helped Rina quite a bit. Her nose was still crooked, and the scar under her eye was still very much visible. Her hair was usually a knotted mess, and her skin was generally caked with dirt and small amounts of blood.

She had giant brown eyes and long eyelashes. That was what had caught the cashier's attention at first. After he'd noticed those small details, he found himself really looking at her.

For a skinny girl, she had filled out nicely.

Her hips were moderately wide, at least wide enough that the cashier constantly wondered what it would feel like to grab them. Her breasts were larger than most, and he desperately wanted to hold those as well.

She was very quiet when she spoke. She would nod hello at the cashier each morning, then set about collecting the food for Jungkook. He didn't complain when she would hand him exact change, mostly in coins. He happily counted them, glancing up at her every now and then.

He had just turned seventeen. You couldn't blame him for noticing the young girl, surely. He had only just started looking at girls.

Rina was by far the prettiest.

This morning was no exception. She entered the small store, giving the cashier a small nod. He grinned back at her.

There was a small tear in the pants that she was wearing near her upper thigh. He wanted to stick his fingers into that tear and rip it even further. Her thigh was skinny, but he could see that the skin under the fabric was smooth and healthy. He wanted to touch it.

The bell rang above the door, calling for the cashier's attention. Rina glanced up as well, frowning when she saw who it was.

Jungkook never went with her to get breakfast.

He took one look at the cashier and knew what he had been doing a moment before. Jungkook took notice of the employee's flushed cheeks and the bulge growing in his pants. Rina was the only other person in the store. It was clear that the cashier had been ogling her.
