"babe I'm sorry to hear that" he softens.

"it's okay." you said while looking away, not trying to break down in front of him.

Suddenly Jake pulls you into a hug and kissed you on the lips

'dang I miss this so much'

you miss all the kisses he would give you.

"everything will be okay"

"Baby listen to me, no matter what, I will be here for you. I will protect you till the day I die. Being adopted is not a crime, it's not wrong."  he assured you.

you smiled and snuggled into his chest.

"okay can I let go of this umbrella? my hand hurts." he joked.

You laughed and pull him into a hug, making him drop the umbrella. You both hugged each other in the rain.

you whispered in his ears. "Now we are both wet" you grinned.

'lets just stay like this forever. he is right. even if the whole world hates me, even if I have no one, I still have Jake. Jake is here for me. He will be there for me. Especially when I need him.'

"ahh your ice cream is melting" you pointed to the plastic bag he was holding.

He laughed.

"Aigoo" he pat your head and gave it to you.

"hehe lets share" you giggled and open it up.

You took a bite and shoved it in his mouth.

"Maam!" he scolded you, ice cream on his mouth. You laughed and wiped his mouth.

'he's so precious'

*few hours later*

Somehow.. you and Jake ended up in a fast food restaurant. You were just stuffing fries in your mouth with a burger in your hands.

"Girl, calm downn" laughed Jake. you slowed down and smiled.

"you alright?? does eating makes you feel better?" he chuckled.

"of course! I didn't get to eat just now hehe. To be honest, I don't even know what else to expect. Maybe I just need to move on from the fact that I'm adopted? I mean, it won't change anything anyway. Still the maid of the house" you smiled, letting Jake give a sigh of relief seeing how much better you look.

"And one more thing ma'am. What were you thinking sitting in the rain like that? What if you get sick??" he asked you with an angry face. you shrugged.

'literally nothing mattered to me at that time. and how would I know if it was gonna rain'

he shook his head and continued to stare at you eat.

'I cant risk you falling sick. and I'm here, suppose to be protecting you. who knows what would have happened to you if I didn't stroll in the park. I swore to protect you. if anything happens to you, I'm not gonna forgive myself. ever.'  the thoughts didn't stop Jake from being worried.

after eating, he sent you home. while walking, he grabs your hand and clenched it with his. the rain has stopped and the atmosphere was nice and quiet.

it was kinda windy and that made you into a better mood. for once, all your problems are gone. your mind is free of what had happened at home. you felt at peace with Jake, the guy who you love so much and who you don't want to lose.

you sighed as you approach the front door.

"looks like we are here.." Jake said sadly.

"hey, we are going to see each other tomorrow. don't worry" you comforted him.

"babe, if they do something bad to you, just call me okay? I would come and get you and imma beat the-" you shake your head.

"Jakey for real. don't worry. I know you will be there for me. I will call you. And you better show up if it happens" you smiled.

"bet" he squeezed your hands.

you both waved goodbye to each other and you entered the house quietly since it was already midnight. But unfortunately, she was there waiting for you.

Eomma walked up slowly to you. "why are you home so late? Is that your boyfriend? surprised you can even find a guy. what did you do? drugged him?" she scoffed.

You glared at her. No way in hell are you gonna let her spoil your night. Not right after Jake comforted you.

"what are you staring at? Watch it" she said as she approaches you.

she grabbed your hair and made you face her. she grabbed a glass bottle and swing it towards you but luckily you dodged it. the glass hit the wall and the bottle broke to pieces.

Again, she swing it towards you but unfortunately you didn't have the chance to dodge it this time. and so it hits your face and blood started to spurt out.

'she's drunk. this bitch's drunk'

"You think you can do anything you want in this house? huh?!" she grabbed your hair tighter. Tears formed in your eyes. again.

'please...please stop.. could this day get any worse'

you saw Da-Eun standing at the staircase watching eomma pulling your hair. she hesitated but then decided to stop eomma.

"Eomma! stop! Don't waste your time on her! You're drunk. Get some rest? hmm?" Da-Eun suggests, pulling Eomma away from you. Eomma stumbled away, holding on to her daughter.

"right. I can't believe I laid my hands on this filthy girl. you should go to sleep hun" she said to Da-Eun while stumbling to her bedroom.

'thank you..' you muttered to her, trying to catch your breath.

Da-Eun made a small smile at you before she walked away to the room too.  you climbed up the stairs to your bedroom. you felt weak and you looked at yourself in the mirror. you saw your face bruised and the cut that eomma made. 

'ah great. beautiful'

you took a piece of tissue and you put some water on it. you don't even bother to treat it properly. you wiped the blood. it stings like hell! you groan and got into the shower.

Holy shit your body hurts and starts to ache as pressure from the water touches the bruises. Not long after that  you changed into your pajamas and went to sleep cause you only have a few more hours to sleep. you tried to not think about the things that happen that day. unknowingly, you were crying yourself to sleep.

the next morning wasn't so different. You did the same routine. you just hoped today won't be bad. This time, desperately. you went down and walked straight out of the house, not caring about your family who was eating breakfast. you didn't feel the need to look at them. not after what eomma did to you.

after a few stops before arriving at school, you finally reached school. you dragged your ass and walk into the school entrance. you kept thinking about how screwed you will be when Jake sees your face.

*sigh* 'Jake is gonna be so mad about the bruises.. dang it'

you walked in to class and could see Jake walking up to you. 

'shit shit shit.'  you quickly covered your face with your hair, avoiding eye contact.

"good morning babe. so I was wondering that we could hang out uhh today after school?" he asked excitedly, trying to make eye contact with you.

"uh huh okay sure.." you nervously said while looking away, trying to hide your face.

"hmm? why are you looking away? stop moving away" you still moved away, hiding your face while he tries to pull you closer to him.

"babe, is something wrong? come, let me see your facee" he insists but you were still being stubborn. You pushed his hands away.

"Hanee look at me." he grabs your face so that you will face him.

"what the hell? who did this to you?" he asked ,examining your face.

"its finee. leave it . I'm okay" he looks at you with a serious face.

"who did it though? your eomma? appa? for god sak-"

"it was just eomma. calm down its fine." you said pushing his hand away from your face.

"won't they give you a break?" He sighed and stared at you.

"ahh I just want to forget about it please. can we just go out laterrr" you whined and changed the topic.

"yes but lets clean those wounds up, properly. and don't change the topic" he said shaking his head. 

'oops my man's mad.'

he dragged you into the nurse office and took the first aid kit, where the band aids are. he made you sit and he kneeled on the floor. he then started to clean your wounds. you stare into his eyes while he cleans those up. you smile.

he noticed you smiling and frowned.

"don't you dare smile. Tell me what happened" he asked while applying cream or whatever to your face.

You stopped smiling and cleared your throat.

"she hit me with a glass bottle. lol"

"what the-" he was about to curse but you stopped him.

"its fine Jakey. its just a scratch anyway." you assured him while touching your bruises. he shook his head.

"seriously what would I do without you.." you said, cupping his face.

there was a moment of silence.

he smiled and shook his head. "we are like in a drama aren't we?" both of you started laughing till he had a serious look on his face.

"okay okay, jokes aside. I can't see you like this Hanee... should I send you to self defense lessons? or should I sent you to special agents?"

"what? special agents?? why?" 

"to kill them." he joked.

"come on, don't be so dramatic. no one is going to die. no murdering, no death okay.. even though it's tempting, no." you laughed.
