Jungkook's POV

Wild Rose.

That's what she is. My Wild Rose, she looks wild, untamed, delicate but beautiful.

I looked down at Mia who even in her unconscious mind couldn't seem to be at ease. Her brows were creased. I frowned, not liking the look on her. I reached out to ease her crease, her features softened under my touch bringing a soft smile on my face.

Tucking her hair before tracing my finger on her eyes continuing the path below her eyes to her cheeks. Slowly trailing on her cute little nose she relaxed under my touch breathing softly.

I feel like a creep. Everytime she is asleep I just keep staring at her, not able to look away, making me spellbound. She would leave me spellbound any other way too.

If you look closely you can see the bags under her eyes. Her skin is pale white, cheeks sunken in. Even though she still managed to look beautiful and fucking mesmerizing.

My gazed fall on her neck I gently brushed the marks, my eyes darkening. That fucker I am going to kill him.

How could someone hurt a person like her?

I couldn't even imagine the pain she went through. How high she raised her walls, the torments, it must be for her to fight with her demons.

I remember her words she said everyday was a battle against herself.

My wild flower looks so strong but inside who knows how many times she broke down.

She looks so delicate just like a Rose, Ma Rose. Just like a Rose she is beautiful, delicate but she needs thorns to protect herself. Protect her from others or more from herself. I wanted to be the thorn for her.

Her eyes fluttered open. I stilled my hands still on her neck. She gave me a tired smile, a little hazy because of the medicines. Before she could jerk her hand to the side I stopped her removing the IV drip. A cute little frown appeared on her face as she looked at me in confusion.

"You fainted". I answered

She nodded as I helped her to sit putting a pillow behind her back so she could be comfortable. "How are you feeling now?"

"Little hazy but okay" She said in a voice sounding hoarse. I quickly reached for a glass of water kept beside her. She drank, sighing in relief. She was out for a few hours.

"You know, they told you, didn't they?"

Her question caught me a little off guard. I didn't know what gave her away.

"Yes" I whispered as she looked down at her hands not meeting my eyes. I wanted to hear from her, I wished she could have told me all this when she was comfortable. I understand the situation was too much for her to handle and me to not know.

"I am sorry". I stupidly said, sorry wouldn't change a thing. Sorry doesn't mean a thing.

"Why?" Mia asked

The calmness in her tone surprised me. 'Why' she asked me why I am sorry.

I don't know which part I am sorry for. Not being there for her, because it happened to her or because she had to go through this. Sorry because she doesn't deserve it. Sorry because she was alone, sorry because she had to take her life. Sorry that this happened to her.

Sorry for being an Asshole being self centered. Why am I sorry? Or is it because I don't know what to say? She Doesn't need my apology. What I have noticed is that we say sorry for every little thing sometimes without meaning it. It means absolutely nothing, for a matter of fact doesn't change a thing. Does it make a difference, it does but in certain situations only.

First thing Rape is not a thing neither it is a word thrown like a trophy every damn chance you get. Rape is not only non consensual sex or penetration. It is also when you said no when you told them to stop. Sexual assault is something which can be physical or verbal too.

Both leave the same impact to the person. If some people think they have permission just because the girl talks nicely or is your girlfriend or wife they have a free pass to have sex. No means no whether or not she is aroused it doesn't matter. When he or she or they says no it's no.

"You know right I don't need one more person pitying me or being sympathetic." She continued when I was quiet for a while, lost in my own thoughts.

My eyes snapped at her seeing she was looking at me " Not even once I pitied, it's my care and concern for you don't confuse them. "

It's true, she doesn't need another person looking at her in pity making her feel like a poor soul.

She kept staring at me wanting to say something. She has so many things to say but not in a state.

I know somewhere she mustered courage to tell these things to herself she thought she was ready but couldn't but in the end all she did what she thought was right, running away distancing herself.

I sighed " You need to eat, I will bring something for you". I got up hesitatingly and leaned down to kiss her forehead. I am not sure if she is ready to be touched or she is okay with physical touch last time she kept flinching.

..........

We all sat silently after Mia told us everything from the day where Nathan showed up at our College Dance to the coffee shop.

"So let me summarize this, he is threatening you if you don't stay away from me or any guy he would release those videos and photos he has". I looked at her in disbelief.

"It's impossible how even, all those videos are deleted from every server, every site no one can find those". Jimin said still not grasping the situation, he and James made sure the videos and photos or anything related to the incident would be released or available.

"You can sue him now we have proof and the statute of limitation on your case would apply too. We can report within three years". I suggested.

Mia's blazing stare snapped to me '' No" I stilled under her stare " No I can't".

I bit my lip, stopping myself from something that may hurt her. It's not like she can't, the thing is she won't. It's her choice I get it.

It's up to her but I can't bear him walking freely even after everything he puts her through. Stalking on top of it he knows where she was it is not a coincidence. He keeps tabs on her.

She is scared. Hiding won't make it any better feeling in fear all her life. Not feeling safe, I can't bear to see her like that. Whatever her decision is I will respect it, I can't promise I will support this.

Even if she reported when it happened. Nathan is rich even before her Rape kit would reach the police station it would be destroyed. The case won't even be registered or filed covering it up with other trivial issues creating a mess.

If Mia doesn't want to help herself I will. I will stand by her side. I will do what I can do.

First her health is important not only physically but mental. Mia is strong and brave and just needs someone with her. She won't say she is not okay. She is stubborn enough to pretend that everything is fine when it is not.

If she needs me just by being next to her while she gets okay I will do that. I will do whatever she needs to be okay.
