"What time is it", I ask myself as I look up at the clock on the wall. Three more hours till he comes home, I groan to myself as I go back to watching the show playing on the TV.

It's been like this for the past month, I wake up, make myself breakfast, then sit and watch TV until Jungkook comes back home from work. When he does come back, we sit down together and talk about his day at work. Ever since the incidents with my step mother have occurred, I've been pretty close with Jungkook, since he's the only person I feel safe with.

I pick up my phone and scroll through my notifications, too bored to continue watching TV, and that's until I heard the doorbell ring. I nervously look up at the clock once again, it hadn't been long since I last checked, only ten minu have passed. I gulp as I look at the closed house doors, it can't possibly be my step mother can it?

Jungkook said no one knows about this place, and as far as I am concerned no one except both of us know the location of the apartment. I quickly walk towards the door and slowly start opening it, my hands shaking as I pull the cold handle my way. The moment the door opened I froze.

"Chaeyoung?" I mange to say as I look at her, "What are you doing here?"

"Soe Yeon, it's been so long since I saw you, I missed you so much," she says as she steps inside the house and hugs me tightly, a smile spreads on her lips, "So much has happened ever since you stopped coming to work. Now I have no one to talk to when I get bored".

"Chaeyoung, why did you come?" I ask again, "No not why, how? How do you know I am here, does Jungkook know, did you tell him?"

"Calm down, no one knows I am here except for Jungkook. I asked him if I could visit you since, you know, it's been a month I think since you've been to work and I got worried. He hesitated at first but then I kept asking and he told me I could. You don't want me here? I thought you'd miss me like I missed you," she asked raising her eyebrows.

Out of all people, Chaeyoung was the last person I expected would come check on me, not like I am upset she came and visited me, we just haven't gotten that close to each other.

"Of cource I missed you, why wouldn't I," I immediately say, not wanting her to get upset or misunderstand, "It's just that not many people know about this place, only I and Jungkook do, so I was curious".

"Oh well, if that's the case," she smiles to me and moves her head to the side, "Won't you invite me inside?"

I quickly moved away from her, "Oh yes, I am sorry please do come in".

She starts to look around the place, touching and staring at the painting on the wall. "So is this your, I don't know, new house or something? You should've told me you bought a new one."

"I actually wasn't planning on moving to a new apartment," I answer her, my voice softer than usual, "I am staying with Jungkook. Anyway would you like some coffee, or tea?"

She glares at me with wide eyes, her mouth slightly opening when I told her I was staying with Jungkook. When she realises she was staring she immediately looks away.

"Oh damn Soe Yeon. You do know that you're probably the longest relationship he's had for quite some time don't you? Not to sound rude or something but he isn't forcing you to stay with him is he."

"Of course not, why would he," I wide my eyes at her as I move to the kitchen, turning on the kettle as I place the tea bag in one of the cups, "He's doing this because of my step mother, you know the woman that came to the company the other day. She won't leave me alone until I go back home with her, and I won't. So he's keeping me here to protect me from her."
