Y/N's pov

I was looking up at him, he was breathing heavily as well, as if he was running exactly like I did...

The moment our eyes connected, I knew what he was trying to say.

I nodded my head immediately and Jungkook removed his hand from my mouth.

We could hear the man's footsteps getting closer and closer.

I tried calming my heart, but I just couldn't, I felt terrified.

Jungkook managed to calm his breath a lot quicker than me.

We could hear the man slow down, he was walking now, his footsteps getting closer and closer toward us.

Jungkook got even closer to me, his hands are on either side of my head.

Somehow, being trapped between his arms, made me feel a lot safer.

Thankfully after a while, the man's footsteps started to fade away.

Jungkook took this as an opportunity to get even closer to me, his voice was the quietest that I have ever heard.

"We are going to run toward my car,

Got it?"

My heart started beating faster, my stomach started to flip.

It felt weird, him being this close to me.

At the same time, I felt so nervous and afraid.

Terrified of that man, of what his intentions are.

I just nodded my head, I couldn't even let a word out, I felt like I couldn't speak.

I just ran from that man a second ago, I thought he is going to take me.

Jungkook glanced toward the sound of the footsteps that started getting far and far away away from us.

I was looking up at him, again his tattoos were very visible to me.

I couldn't stop myself from being curious.

I wonder what made him get those, I wonder if they mean anything to him.

Gazing up at him, I didn't notice Jungkook's hand slowly grabbing mine.

I immediately looked down to see his hand, now holding mine, his grip tightened.

His eyes still wandered between the trees.

"Now!"

He started running, pulling me along with him.

His hand holding mine even tighter than before, my hand held his, trying to catch up to him.

My heart started beating faster and faster, but it was a different feeling that made me feel strange.

Our hands holding each other, why does it make me feel this way?

We were running and all of a sudden, we heard a voice screaming.

"HEY! I CAN SEE YOU! STOP RIGHT NOW"

The footsteps behind us were still far, he was running as well, but Jungkook is way faster than him.

I knew it would not be long until we'll get to his car, so I have to bear with it.

We ran until we could see the cabin in the distance.

We were close.

We kept running until we saw Jungkook's car, we reached out to his car and he quickly opened it.

But suddenly I noticed,

Taehyung's car,

It's not here. Only Jungkook's car is here.

What's going on?

"Get it the car".

He stood next to the car, waiting for me to enter. After I got in I waited for him to go in as well.

But I saw him walking back there.

What is he doing?

Seeing him walking, knowing where he is going, just the thought of that scared me so much.

What if something happens to him?

My stomach started to hurt due to nerves, I couldn't stop looking from the window, hoping to see him come back.

After what felt like forever, I saw him walking back toward the car.

The moment I saw him, a feeling of relief washed over me.

I felt like I could breathe again. I felt so happy to see him come back, he looked fine, no injuries.

Jungkook got in the car, and started the engine. I wanted to ask him if he was okay, but I figured he wouldn't like that.

Jungkook drove out of his parking spot and started driving down the road, opposite from where we came from.

He was driving fast, really fast.

I looked behind, to see if the man was there, luckily I couldn't see him.

I wonder, who is this guy? I'm so confused...

Is he one of Hyun's man? Was he trying to kidnap me?

Looking to my side, Jungkook has his eyes fixed on the road.

"Why the fuck did you went outside?!"

I didn't say anything, I had nothing to say I don't know why I did that.

He sighed, running his fingers through his hair.

Jungkook was now driving with one hand on the handle, the other was looking for his phone in his jeans pocket.

He took his phone out.

"I'll need you to text Taehyung, tell him that we are on our way".

"O-okay".

He gave me his phone, taking it I searched for Taehyung in his messages.

Finally I found it, writing exactly what Jungkook had just told me, my hands shaking in the process.

I think even with everything I've been through with these guys, I can't get used to any of it.

Now that I look back, it's crazy that I was just sent to some new foster care, and I ended up in this situation.

I think...

With how risky it is, with how scary it is, I still feel...

Grateful.

I don't think it would have turned out any better for me to stay there, especially when now I know,

Hyun tried to take me in order to take revenge on me.

I still don't understand this whole story yet.

I also know, that I can't trust this guy who told me and Jungkook about my brother and Hyun, but it makes sense.

Glancing toward Jungkook, I could see he was focused, I'm sure he has his own thoughts running in his head.

He is so mysterious, and I really wonder what you have been through.

I don't think you have always been like this.

Why with each day that goes by, I want to know more about you?

Why do I want to get closer to you, to know you better, to be there and understand why you're hurting.

Why do I feel safer and safer around you?

I may be crazy, but I feel like it's okay, I don't know why I feel this way, but it doesn't feel that wrong anymore.

I've never met anyone like you before...

I've never felt like this before...

Looking out of the window, I could see the sun beginning to rise, we barely got any sleep.

I woke up a little before sunrise and I don't even know if Jungkook slept at all.

I know he probably wants us not to talk right now, but I can't stay quiet anymore.

"Um Jungkook".

"What".

"Do you know... that guy?"

It was silent.

I turned to look at him, he was still looking at the road, not glancing at me.

I quickly turned my head away, looking at the road as well.

"Yeah I do".

"What... did he want from me?"

"It doesn't matter".

But it does, I want to know what's going on, I feel so confused. But it's not like I have the right to know.

I stayed silent for a minute before speaking again.

"How did you know where I was?"

Back then I went outside to look for him, where was he and how did he find me?

I knew I was testing his limits, I knew I should have stayed silent, but I couldn't stay in the dark for so long.

If I would not know anything, I'll just overthink everything until it will create a mess in my head.

I glanced at him to see him already looking at me.

He started into my eyes for a second before breaking the eye contact and looking at the road again.

His gaze made my heart skip a beat.

"The window".

The window? What does be mean by that? Is he talking about-

Oh,

When we spoke,

In the room,

When I asked him about his tattoos, he suddenly walked away, but I remember he looked at the window before he left.

He probably saw that man.

"And what about Taehyung and Nari?"

Taehyung's car wasn't there when we came to Jungkook's car.

Jungkook let out a deep sigh,

"You're asking way too many questions.

Just stop".

I didn't say anything, I didn't want to annoy him again.

I don't know how he will react if I'll go too far.

For the rest of the ride, we were both quiet.

My head was full with thoughts, I just didn't know what do anymore.

I feel like there were so many things going on, I feel confused and just feel overwhelmed.

I can't understand what is wrong with my feelings, I feel so many things I should not feel.

The sun is already out now.

I glanced toward Jungkook to see him focused on driving, but I could see his mind was somewhere else.

The sunlight was falling on his face, suddenly I saw him differently, under the sunlight.

I had a chance to look at him more clearly.

I could notice the small mole he has under his lips, his eyes were looking more like light brown under the sunlight.

"Stop staring".

Realizing I was staring at him for a while now, I quickly turned my face to the side, looking out of the window.

I could feel my cheeks heating up a bit.

Why every time I look at you, I want to know more, I want to realize what's going on in your head, but it's wrong of me.

Jungkook kept driving, I could see a small diner in the distance, there were barely any cars parked outside.

Reaching for the diner, he parked the car and turned down the engine.

Without saying a word, he got out, I followed him, getting outside as well.

Jungkook walked toward the door of the diner, opening it, he stood next to the open door.

Peeking up, I found him already looking at me. His eyes empty as usual...

Getting the sign, I walked inside, Jungkook got in right after me, letting the door close.

The place wasn't big, there were a few tables and chairs, but not many people.

Suddenly a man came toward us, he had a gun in his hands.

I felt my whole body freeze.

He aimed the gun toward us.

My breath hitched in my throat, I looked at the man in shock.

Without thinking twice, as if by instinct, Jungkook reached for his gun and aimed it at the man.

It all happened so fast.

The man looked annoyed, his voice full of anger.

"Who the fuck are you two?!"
