I couldn't do it.

I gently pushed him away, trying not to make it anymore awkward than it already was. "T-Tae" "I get it. I wont force you. I'll wait for you." He gently smiled while pulling away from me, making space between both of us.

It somehow made my heart ache. Even though I wasn't ready for any kind of commitment or hookup, to be more clear, I couldn't help but think of what could've happened if I hadn't stopped him. Not gonna lie, there was surely something which we both felt.

I exited the room hurriedly after Taehyung mentioned the way to the washroom, but the situation got worse when I accidentally bumped into 2 very drunk guys, who were clearly not in their senses. "Hey hottie, you look fresh.", he said, making his way towards me and in the blink of my eye, I was locked inbetween them.

I couldn't move.

They had me pinned over a wall, one guy's hand making circles on my thigh while the other was sucking onto my neck. Tears were flowing out of my eyes like crazy. I was helpless. Just then, a wave of adrenaline rush hit me when I had managed to push one of the guys away, but only leading the other to harshly grab my skin forcing me as he made his way up to untie the knots of my sleeves. All I could do was shout for help. I was sobbing. The drunk fellows showed no mercy when all I did was cry.

I closed my eyes, tears still streaming down as I slowly started giving up the fight.

*Punch. Punch. Punch*

I opened my eyes to the sound of the guy groaning in pain as he immediately let his grip down when someone had harshly punched him. I struggled to gather myself, all I did was hug myself and slowly slide downwards reaching the cold marble still unable to process what had happened.

I was a mess. Mentally and physically. The knots of my sleeves were now open, tears were now out of my control, my hair and face completely messed. But that was just the things that showed. Mentally I was still in shock. I didn't even look at who helped me. All I wanted was to leave.

I flinched when I felt someone's touch. "I-its me.. Jungkook." I was so relieved to see a familiar face, or I could say, Jungkook's. He immediately pulled me into an embrace, the warmth of his body seeping into mine while he gently lifts me up, giving me support to lean onto his shoulders.

"I wanna leave"

He took me to his car, opening the door for me to get in. It wasn't as luxurious as Tae's but it was a big spacious black car. We both got in the car.

It felt like my body was in one piece, but my soul was shattered into a million.

"Do you want me to take you home?"

"No"

I immediately replied, without hesitating. "Can you please stay with me? Just for a while.. till I'm okay.."

His eyes softened after listening to the tone of my voice. He kept glancing onto me while I looked out of the window, staring at the lone roads as he was driving to somewhere, completely unfamiliar to me. But I was fine with it. I felt safe.

Jungkook made me feel safe.
