"Are you sure about that? Do you..not remember Mr. Kissable Lips"? He asked as his thumb swiftly grazed my lower lip, pulling it out from my teeth which had it caged.
A deep blush erupted on my cheeks and I shook my head.
"Do you mind..if I ...remin...

"Aera ssi please press your code in will you"? Jimin pleaded for the millionth time with Aera attached to him like a leech with her arms wrapped around his torso.
It was around 4 am when Jimin decided to bring Aera back home and the girl was still not sobered up.
"Shh the monsters under my bed will hear you". She said with a whisper and placed her index finger on his lips.

I sighed and tried once again.
"Please Sweetheart can you press in the code for us? We have to go inside if you want to sleep more!" I said hoping she's agree.
"Fine fine but continue calling me sweetheart, I like it so much". She said and began pressing in the code.
"Do you know what my code is? I'll tell you! It's 1306 it's the birthday of my mother..she hates me". She said and her happy and giggly voice died towards the end.
I pushed the door open and slid my arm under her knees and the other on the back and picked her up she wrapped her hands around my shoulders and rested her head on my chest.
I shut the door behind me and walked in, dropping her bag on to the couch which I had worn around my shoulder since she had basically disowned the poor thing.
I walked up the spiral glass staircase and looked down when I heard sniffing.
She was crying.
Why does it break my heart to see her cry?
Oh Aera, how hurt are you to cry just when your mother is mentioned?
I walked into the room which I assumed to be hers since I saw her walking into this one the day I stayed over.
Placing her down gently on her bed I moved away only to be stopped by her hand which had my shirt clasped tightly in her fist.
"Please don't go, please don't leave me as well...not you please". She said with glassy eyes and I melted.
"I won't go, I'm right here". I said softly and she moved and made way for me to sit and that I did.
She laid her head on my lap gently and began talking.
"My mommy hates me Mr. Kissable lips". She called my nickname which she had given a few hours ago.
"I love mommy though..but..I can never have a goodnight sleep because of her...once...Seokjin and Sungjae oppa broke a vase and blamed it on me..they pushed me towards it and I fell which caused the glass shards to get into the side of my arms, when mommy asked they said that I did it..you know what mommy did? She locked me in the basement for three straight days..s-she knew that I was claustrophobic..yet she did". Her voice broke towards the end and tears left her eyes and disappeared into her hairline, tears welled up in my eyes as well I heard her explain.
"I was injured and she dragged me with my arm and threw me in there and told me that I deserved to be punished, if dad hadn't come back from his business trip and heard about all of that from the head maid then I would've most probably died while crying and asking to be let out..I didn't even know if they were feeding and taking care of Jungkook I didn't trust anyone to do so except for the head maid who took care of the both of us..I was punished..so cruelly..at such a young age for something I didn't even do.. I still get nightmares about it till this day.." she said and finally broke down into loud and painful sobs.
Her body trembled with every sob that left her body and my own tears fell while seeing her in such a broken state.
Oh my...
I wish...I was there..to protect you and your brother..
I'd never imagined you to be this hurt..you hide your emotions well..
Aera cried and cried until she had no tears left and finally fell asleep with a heavy heart and with her hand in mine.
"I won't go...I'm right here, right here by your side". I said softly while caressing her head.

I squinted my eyes and finally managed to open them after having sunlight hitting them directly.
I brought the blanket closer to my chest and tried hiding my naked body under the covers completely.
My eyes fell on the man who'd spent the night with me and I saw him grabbing his wallet from the dressing table and he looked at me from the mirror.
"Ah, you're up? I have to leave now so I'm gonna go, don't mistaken last night as anything special we were just drunk okay? I don't invest in relationships, I can't spend the rest of my life with one person". He said in one breath as if reading it from a book.
He took large strides and within seconds he was out of the room.
He left.
Am I really that unlovable?
"O..Kay" I managed to croak out in a broken voice trying to not let out the tears that had welled up In my eyes for some unknown reason.
The sound of my phone ringing caught my attention and I stretched my hand out, grabbing the phone from the table I picked up without checking the caller Id.
"Hello?"
"WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU?" Boomed the voice of the man I despised, my father.
The tears which I managed to hold back finally fell in large drops.
