≿━━━━༺❀༻━━━━≾

Jungkook ran around the cafe, trying to find the man who had just run out of the place. Jungkook couldn't find the man's figure anywhere and it made him feel frustrated for a moment. He just wanted to help, trying to dispel the feelings of anxiety that were brewing inside of him.

Yes, he didn't know who the man was, but he couldn't resist his sense of unease when he found out that the man was trying to do something bad with the knife taken by him.

He tried to find the man as best as he can and if he still failed to find the man, he decided to return to his place in the cafe and finish his deferred work.

He went to the other side of the store near the cafe, which was a bit dark and silent. He walked into the dark area carefully, opening his eyes wide a bit to look around him more clearly and his steps had stopped abruptly when his eyes finally caught a familiar figure that he was hoping to see, not so far away from him.

"Hey! Excuse me?" Jungkook tried to get the man's attention to look at him and quickly ran forward. The man turned to face him, still in tears and the knife that he had taken a while ago was already being placed at his neck.

Jungkook's eyes widened in panic. "What are you trying to do?!" Jungkook instantly freaked out at the sight and tried to snatch the knife out of the man's hand but, he was being pushed by the man hard to the back.

"Stay away from me! I don't know you!" the man screamed at him.

"Yes, that's right. We don't know each other. You don't know me, I don't know you. But, we can talk. You can tell me what has bothered you and I promise, I'll help with what I can. Okay?"

The man shook his head and keep on crying. "There's nothing you can help me. Just go away! Leave me alone ... Please." The man pleaded, his body almost shivering as he was sobbing hard.

"That's not true. If you don't tell me what had happened to you, how can we know if I can help you or not, right?"

"No... It's embarrassing and I don't want anyone to know." The man replied to him lowly as if he didn't want Jungkook to hear it.

"It's okay. You can trust me. I promise to keep it just between the two of us, okay? You don't have to be embarrassed with me." Jungkook tried to persuade the man while he moved closer to grab the knife out in the man's hand.

And at last, he let out a sigh of relief as the man finally released the knife out from his hand and Jungkook then hurriedly threw the sharp thing far away from them.

The man was still crying and Jungkook didn't hesitate to give the man his shoulder to cry.

"It's okay, let it out. You're not here alone, I'm here to help you."

Jungkook didn't know why he was doing all this. He still got a lot of other things to worry about but look at where he was and what he was doing right now. Why did he have to interfere with other people's problems? Even he himself couldn't find the answer to that question.

After a few minutes, the man broke the hug and wiped away his tears that was covering his eyes, making his vision to get blurry. Then he went down to sit on the ground, leaning against the wall and closed his puffy eyes shut. Jungkook just watched him for a moment before also letting himself sat on the ground in front of the man and waited for the latter to start talking to him.
