Chapter Fifteen: Roommate

-

" I am her f-friend..... Lee Dami, Do you want me to give you her number or something? Y/N doesn't actually live here, I think you mistook her house"

Lee Dami?

" She doesn't live here?" Jungkook swallowed his breathe.

" Who's there? " another voice joined, the second girl opened the door wider so she can see the person.." Oh Ju-Jungkook? am I right?"

The man rubbed the back of his neck and nodded " Yes, Hello.."

The girl nodded " I am Y/N's best friend, Soyeon." She said

The man nodded.

"I guess we need to talk." The girl said then looked at the one named Dami " In private.." She rolled her eyes " Wait a second..."

Soyeon walked inside, wore her shoes and jacket before walking out asking Jungkook to follow her.

Jungkook followed the girl outside the building. When they were outside far from the building door, she turned to face him as she grabbed into her jacket.

"I am Sorry, I wanted to invite you to talk inside the house but I don't want the girl to overhear ." Soyeon started " You probably heard her name from Y/N before, Right? "

" Yeah.." Jungkook nodded and placed his hands inside his pocket sighing"The girl that Mark cheated with,True?"

" Yeah true." She nodded" So, Do I understand that something happened made you come and look for Y/N while she was supposed to be with you in some mountain house or something ?"

Jungkook nodded " Yeah you can say that, But ....... That girl said Y/N doesn't live here. I can imagine why but where's Y/N now? "

Soyeon bite into her lips before looking at him " Look, Y/N will probably kill me for telling you but I can't just watch her live like that."

Jungkook's face grow in concern" Why ?what's going on?" he asked focusing on the girl's eyes.

"Actually Y/N didn't find a place to stay yet after moving from the old one." Soyeon said "I heard she stayed in the hospital for few days and she was going to look for a small house after coming from birthday you invited her for but I don't think she'll find a place, She's paying back the loan she took to rent the wedding hall she was supposed to marry in before........things happened." The girl sighed " That bitch Mark was supposed to pay that but...... Guess He's a dickhead after all."

Jungkook was in a loss of words as the girl next to him looked around annoyed while cursing the man called Mark.

All this happened and I don't know? . Jungkook thought

" I asked her to stay with me but Dami is my roommate, So She kept her things in my room until she find a place." Soyeon continued "She must be in the Hospital now.." she sighed

" And why she didn't tell me this?" Jungkook finally asked

" I told her to but....... I would probably not tell you if I was her as well." The girl added.

Jungkook took a deep breathe before finding his voice again." You said her things are in your room? " He asked and Soyeon nodded " Okay, Let me take them."

Soyeon wanted to argue but she couldn't see you tired again, Sleeping in the hospital wasn't comfortable at all plus........Jungkook is your husband.

The girl helped Jungkook take all your things from her room to his car before he thanked her and drove away.

--

You stood in the Hospital rooftop with a blanket over your shoulder, staring at the millions of lights caused that the dense mass of skyscrapers glitter. People were needle points and cars were blood cells flowing through the veins of the city. Despite the time, the hustle and bustle never came to a halt, you liked it, the noise of the city you call it.It somehow comfort you.

The night came whispering sweet nothings, luring heat from tired muscles until they could rest no more. You took a deep breath and looked up, closing your eyes allowing your brain to be empty, content to exist and be, you tightened the blanket over your body wanting some more warmth but it was a cold night and the light blanket wasn't enough.

You suddenly feel the sadness flowed through your veins and deadened your mind. It was a poison to your spirit, dulling you killing off your other emotions until it was the only one that remained. The same feeling you felt when you knew Mark was cheating and now.... It's probably worst, You've knew what you needed. You needed someone to save you from the loneliness you were forced to live in, to make you feel worthy and loved, worthy of being loved.You thought you found this in Mark but he broke your trust, selfishly you thought you can be friend with Jungkook and his friends, You thought that the fact that you get married to their friend, kinda helped him will make them like you.....Well they did, but... All that caused his relationship to get more confused.

You shed a tear at the thought you might always be like this, lonely and pathetic.

After one then two tears, streaming tears cleansed your cold red cheeks. Few droplets remained, forgetting their way as the path was swept from beneath them, consequently blurring your vision with waves of sadness only the broken encounter. The salty release calmly flowed into your mouth so that you could taste your own sorrow. the frigid air had a way of keeping you in the moment, wicking away body heat faster than it is replaced. It's one of those days when normal clothes aren't enough, when they feel thinner than they are which made your heart which for some heat that could possible comfort you.

" Y/N ah..." Suddenly a familiar voice called you but before you could turn, The man walked up to you and pulled you closer to him wrapping his arms around you. His embrace was warm, and his big, strong arms seemed very protective when wrapped around your frail body. " I am sorry." Jungkook whispered, There is the hug of gentle arms that still gives the space to breathe; then there is the hug of strong arms that tells everything that your are - body, brain and soul - that they are with you which was the hug the man was giving you right now, The one you needed.

Your eyes widened when your mind came to think, The sudden hug made you confused but you didn't want to leave. It felt as if in his arms all your pain went away - mental and physical, mostly the depressing pain. If you could only stay in his arms forever, safe from the world's harmful people. One could only hope.

" Ju-Jungkook..." You question and pulled away from him slowly " What are you d-doing here?" wishing the darkness hide your crying eyes you looked at him.

" I could ask you the same." Jungkook felt the heat in his cheeks when he finally realize what he did, He hugged you.....Not just a hug but a hug his body felt the needs for which made him confused and scared in the same moment.

Embarrassed, he looked away and cleared his throat "I went to Soyeon's house and didn't find you."

You panicked when he said that " I..... I d------"

" She told me everything." Jungkook looked at you now swallowing the lamp in his throat when he noticed the redness of your eyes, she was crying? " I ..... Wh----" He wanted to say something but the feeling of his heart beating very quickly distracted him, he never felt this before, well at least when he isn't running or working out.

" W-what happened to your cheek ?" You bite your lips when you noticed the scratch in his cheek with dry and a little new blood around it " Jung-----"

" It's not important, I came to take you with me." He cut your words.

" T-take me where?."

" To my house." He said, his voice serious as if he's saying that you don't have a choice except for doing what he said "Soyeon already gave me your things, they're down in the car, let's go...." He held you arm and start to drag you with him.

" Wait...N-no." You yanked his arm away " I can't ..... I--"

" I am not asking you, You're coming with me" He said " Y/N ah, Don't make me carry you down " he threatened and for some reason you knew he will do it.

" Jungkook please, I can't come with you " You bite your lips " Your relationship will be worse with Yu------"

" I broke up with her."

Your eyes widened and you felt sick " D----- "

" It has nothing to do with you so don't worry, I will tell you everything when the time comes" He told you " Now let's go home It's cold here."

The man held your hand and walked with you to the elevator.

he didn't let go of your hand even when you two arrived to the ground floor, But then you stopped him again.

" What now? I don't take no for a------"

" Let me clean it." You pointed to his cheek and looked at his eyes that softened.

" You're not trying to run away, are you?" He looked at you respectfully.

You let out a small laugh and shook your head before dragging him to treatment room.

" You can sit there" You pointed at the round stool near the bed .

Jungkook did what you said and watched you washing your hands at the sink before walking to wear your gloves and take what you need to clean his cut.

He didn't say anything when you walked and stood next to him, the man being tall you had to stay on your feet so you can be in a good level to reach his cheek and he chuckled because of this.

"What's so funny?" You smiled and carefully used the saline wound wash to clean the area around the wound, you wee so gentle that Jungkook didn't feel anything.

" Nothing." He smiled, You didn't say anything and took the pair of tweezers which you cleaned with alcohol and gently started to pick out the dirt from the cut.

"You wiped it with what exactly?" You asked while focusing on your work.

" A shirt or something."Jungkook answered, The man couldn't stop looking at your focused face somehow you looked so beautiful.

" A stupid thing to do." you rolled your eyes and he blinked wanting to clap back but he found it cute that you were scolding him so he smiled and kept his eyes on you as you and gently washed the cut with a wet piece of gauze then place a piece of clean gauze over it before applying tape around the edges of the gauze to hold it in place. " Done." you smiled

" Am I going to live?" He joked and watched you walking to the desk and opened the drawer and chuckled cutely at his joke.

" Here, because you were a good boy and didn't cry." You place the candy that you took from the drawer in his hand and you laughed at his reaction.

" That's....." You felt like he was going to curse but he laughed and shook his head." Thank you Miss." he bowed and stood up " I will enjoy eating it." and he did.

------

"This will be your room from now on." Jungkook said after he put the last box down next to the bed" Tomorrow I will empty the closet so you can put your things in it and......... Mmmm If you like to change anything just do whatever you want."

"Thank you." You smiled "I will leave as soon as I find a place,I promise."

Jungkook rolled his eyes and sighed " I guess good night now?"

" Good night."

The man walked out and closed the door behind him and you finally could breath.

being super tired you didn't care about anything at this point, not even changing your clothes as you throw yourself in the bed and slept right away.

------

Next morning.

9am

-

Slowly and reluctantly, you uncover your face. you blink, close your eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind you. you sit up, drag your feet off the bed, and rub your knuckles onto your eyes. you stretch your arms above your head and yawn. you watch your legs dangle above the off-white polyester carpet before looking around your new room then took a deep breath " Let's start over Y/N, You aren't weak..." You gave yourself a Sunday motivation quote and smiled.

After doing your bed, you opened the window for the morning air to fresh the room then you walked out to wash yourself.

in the hallway you could hear sounds from the kitchen so you went to check out only to find Jungkook wearing his black suit, hair done and a glass of juice in his hand.

" Oh! Good morning." He said when he noticed you by the door " Slept good ? " He smiled at you

Returning the smile you nodded "G-good morning." You said then looked at him confused "You're going somewhere? "

He rubbed the back of his neck before saying " Yeah I have some work to finish, Ah by the way before I forget, I changed the front door's password... It's 1665 now just in case you wanted to go out today.." He looked around as if he's trying to remember anything else " Ah I am sorry I can't help you to empty the closet, I asked the doorman to send few boxes you can put everything in there inside them."

" Alright, Thank you!." You said " Do you want me to prepare something to eat for you?"

He shook his head and put down the glass in the sink " I have to meet someone exactly at 10 so I can't, Anyway you don't have work today, Do you? "

You shook your head" I will probably go out to meet Soyeon when I finish unpacking, That's all I guess"

Jungkook nodded his head and checked his rolex before walking toward you "Okay, Consider yourself home, I will have to go now." He gave you a last smile and walked away.

-

Jungkook sat in his desk staring at the pictures the police sent him, The pictures from the crime scene it shows a body of a dead man, his head injured with blood around it but what was bothering Jungkook was the position of the man's hand.

He took a deep sighed.

"You okay? I thought you won't take the case? " His assistant said as she put a cup of starbucks in front of him and took one for herself, she sat in the seat opposite of him and looked carefully at him.

"Something is off. " Jungkook said, his eyes still confused on the photo "I won't answer the court till i get the postmortem report."

" I thought there isn't one since the suspect confessed , Did you ask for the body to be autopsied?" The woman asked

Jungkook nodded "I don't think he died from the hit."

" What? "Her eyes went wide

Jungkook put the photo away and stood up grabbing his coffee and walked to the window.

"I feel like I am doing a mistake so I need to check." His tone serious yet unsure, The man took a sip from his coffee.
