_YOONGI_

"You know what, you are right. I don't understand my mistake because I didn't have any" I snapped at him and quickly ran out of the room.

I started running at my full speed as at that point, I only wanted to go as far away as possible from this man. I was right, dad never loved me and never will. He just made me question my existence. I have no body support me, love me, or care for me.

While running, I crashed into someone and as the result of the concussion, the person stumbled back and fell to the ground. I wanted to run away without glancing back but the person's familiar voice stopped me.

"Yoongi!?" she called me with a worried voice as she tried hard and struggled to stand back up with her wounded leg.

As much as I wanted to help her, I was angry. So I just stood glued to my position without even turning back to face her.

"What happened Yoongi?" Jackie asked and she sounded concerned. She took the support of her crutches and somehow stood up. I noticed all of it from the corner of my eyes.

"You were wrong" I exclaimed in a cold tone.

"YOU WERE WRONG!!" I yelled at her as I dashed towards her with large steps. I started shaking her vigorously thereby releasing all my anger on her. At that moment, I lost all the senses and judgement of wrong and right.

"You told me that he loves me. Guess what, he doesn't.

You told me he wants to mend our relationship. Guess what, he doesn't.

You told me that he will forgive me. Guess wh-hat, h-he didn't."

I started crying by the end of my sentence. Once again I broke down in front of her and bared my vulnerable side to her.

I thought she would be angry on me because of my rash behavior but instead, she hugged me. She took me in her embrace and started caressing my hair by running her long fingers through it, just like my mother did. Immediately nostalgic thoughts filled my mind and I hugged her back.

"You don't worry Yoongi, I'll give you back the father you once had and you now miss" she said and broke the hug. I couldn't help but laugh at her fake assurance.

"Don't give false hopes Jackie" I scoffed at her.

"I'm not giving false hopes Yoongi, I swear I'll bring back your smile."

"How?"

"I'll be your friend that you never had. Even if the world accuses you, I'll understand. Whenever you'll need a shoulder to cry on, I'll be there" she ran her hand through my hair and the motion made me feel oddly satisfied. I melted into her soft touch and leaned my head towards her hand. She pulled her hand down and stopped at my cheeks as she wiped my tears.

"I'll love you when no one will" my eyes widened at her words but she just smiled genuinely.

"Jackie I-" I didn't get the chance to finish my sentence as a voice approached us  from behind.

"Jackie" he called out as he ran straight towards her. I looked back at Jackie and saw a glint of excitement evident in her eyes as she looked at him. I tried to call her but she just ignored my mere existence. I tried to hold her hand and pull her closer to me but she moved further away.

I kind of knew that she didn't mean love in an intimate manner but my heart wasn't ready to accept it

I kind of knew that she didn't mean love in an intimate manner but my heart wasn't ready to accept it. I felt a strange ache in my chest as I saw her drifting away from me. Till two days ago, I hated her with all my will but now, I just wanted her to hold me close.

Jackie ran to him and he held her hands.

"Jackie, I love you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
