Recap :

I drop myself on the couch, being exhausted as hell. My phone starts to vibrate in my pocket. What now? I take it out and see Hyuna calling me. "Yes?"

"Where were you the whole day?" She asks, and I completely forgot about her. Even Jungkook dropped me at the library, which was my first deadly silent ride.

"Yeah, I went to the library, took the bus," I lie to her. "Why?"

"Well, I went to your place, and your landlord said you are going to shift," I frown immediately after listening to her. Shift? When?

"What?" I raise my voice and remember the letter. "I... Uh... I'll call in a moment," I end the call and take my bag, fishing for the letter. "Where is it?" I look around the room and spot it on the coffee table. I immediately grab it and open it with my heart beating fast.

†

Ms./Mr., We are sorry to announce this, but all the spinster/bachelors are requested to leave their respective apartment within two days because the owner of the building is renting it to married couples from now on. Thank you.

Regards.

I hold my head with the letter in my hand. "What bullshit is this?" I let out in frustration with a sigh. I don't know how many times I have sighed by now. "What will I do now?" I stomp multiple times in frustration. "What worse now can happen?" As soon as I finish the sentence, my phone starts to vibrate. "What now?" I pick the phone to see my mother's number. "Oh, Hello, mom,"

"Hana, your dad in the hospital," She says in a shaking and cracking voice.

"W-what? What happened?" My voice trembles while I ask.

"I don't know, Hana," She cries over the call. I breathe in, trying to stay calm for my mother.

"Is there someone with you?" I ask, panicking inside with shaking legs. She whimpers again and couldn't speak. "Mom, calm down, and tell me."

"Hana, don't worry, I'm with your mom," I hear a familiar voice, making my heart rest a little. It is our neighbor back in Japan. "Your dad is taken in, and I have done all the paperwork, don't worry." He says in a calm voice. I feel my cheeks getting wet, but I didn't make any sound of crying.

"Uncle, hospital fee? How much is it? I'll transfer it right now," I say, not being sure if mom can pay it.

"I have paid the half as an installment, and they have agreed upon that. Don't worry, you can pay the rest later, for now, it's enough."

"But you..."

"It's fine," He says, but I was about to refute. He ends the without even listening to me. I drop myself on the floor, unable to think straight or even think. What should I do now? It's the only thing I can think about. "Should I ask Joon or Hyuna?" I ask myself, I didn't want to a burden on them, and they would say I am not because first they are my friends and they will pity me for sure. I sit on the ground with my head between my knees and hands over my head. "What should I do?" I try not to cry because of my situation.

No home after two days, resigned from the job, and can't pay my dad's hospital bill with my savings. Even finding a new apartment in two days, near the college, and have my daily expenses in control is difficult. My chain of tension breaks by the sound of the bell. Now what? I quickly look up and rub my eyes to get rid of the brimming tears. My hands quickly reach for the door. "What are you doing here?" I let out a question in frustration as soon as I see the person.

"Well, nothing," He walks inside the apartment, leaving me on the doorstep in confusion. He sits on the couch, crossing his legs after taking off his blazer, making himself comfortable. I look at him in annoyance while he just looks at me with an unreadable expression.

"Jungkook, hear me out clearly. I am not gonna sleep with you," I say, and he still had the same expression. "Can you please leave?" I point out still near the entrance.

"I am not here to sleep with you," He starts. "I told you, have everything and be mine. So, I am here to take your answer."

I look at him in disbelief. "Mr. Jeon, I said no before," He still didn't bother to move. Before I say any more words, my mind circulates to my current situation. Should I accept it? NO, What am I thinking? He would do something to me every day, I can't, but do I have another choice to do something faster? But...

I notice his figure approaching me while I am pitying my situation. "I will ask again, Ms. Hana, Will you-"

"Okay, I agree," I cut his words off. I know I will regret it later, but I have no other choice in which I can do something for my father faster than this. It will take me a lot of time to earn money, enough for his treatment, and I can't wait.

"Are you sure?" He asks again. My internal organs are working faster than usual. I nod, unable to speak in front of his intimidating presence. "Words."

"Yes," I whisper, still not sure if it is the only way. His smirk of victory increases while he looks down on me. "So what do I have to do?" I ask while whispering, again not knowing what the outcomes of my decision will be. It is correct when someone said that end outcomes are always unforeseeable.

"You don't have to do anything," He says and walks closer to me while I move back, causing me to get pin against the door behind me. His arm traps me in between them. He leans in and attaches his lips to mine all of a sudden, not letting me process what is happening. His muscles are visible through his tight shirt as he supports his massive figure against my small one.

Mother is back. She said:

Is someone willing to meet my mother?
