Till Death Do Us Part [Jungkook×Reader]

•17• The Photograph

As he neared her,he couldn't stop himself from hugging her.Her condition was enough to tell what she had suffered and he knew it was because of him.Because he loved her that's why it happened.He quickly took her in his embrace but very lightly like a feathery touch.He didn't want to scare her when she was already so broken.

The loose midi dress she was wearing was revealing her abused collarbone. Her face which felt bite marks on her soft cheeks and her lips which were also exploited by the assault inflicted on her.Her tired eyes were explaining the pain she had gone through and it was really difficult for him to withstand that.She didn't push away from his embrace which was a surprise for him as well as herself.She didn't know the reason how but she felt safe in his hold.Like he wouldn't hurt her.

They stayed like that for a moment until he felt that she was relaxed in his embrace and then he tried to pull away from the embrace to look at her but she was not ready to leave the warm hug and tightened her grip around his bicep which signalled him that she wasn't ready.She patted her head with so much care but his eyes were still drowned in sorrow and remorse.

He felt guilty for the things that happened with her.If only he could turn back time,he would've made sure to never love her and even if loved her so never tried to be with her.He wasn't weak to protect her,just the world was too harsh to let them be.But above all,his anger was rising in his mind yet covered by his soft gestures as he knew his angry state would only scare her away.

He stayed like that for some time and then pulled away.She was looking at him desperately as if begging him to take her away from here.He was also determined to do so.But it was not his territory,he knew that very well and he didn't want her to get hurt any further.

"I'll save you.Don't worry."he said assuringly.

She nodded her head innocently but still few tears escaped her eyes.

He quickly wiped away her tears and cupped her face.

"No.No.Don't cry now.No one will be able to hurt you now."he pecked her forehead but his heart clenched when she flinched a little at his touch.

She was afraid of everyone now.

"What!" Namjoon exclaimed as he heard Jungkook on the phone.

The others looked at him questioningly but he was too shocked to pay any heed to them.

"I remember every damn thing now and now hyung, just do as I tell you..." Namjoon was shocked to hear what Jungkook said.

"But Jungkook..." Namjoon tried to say something.
"And one more thing...I don't think I'll be able to forgive you guys for keeping this from me for this long."Jungkook said and disconnected the call.He took a deep breath trying to get a  grasp of the situation.

"Namjoon,just tell us.What did he say?What happened?Why did he..."
Jin bombarded him with questions.

"He remembers now.Everything.He remembers everything and he knows where she is.Rather he...he met her."Namjoon said looking down.

"WHAT!"they shouted in unison surprised and worried.

They exchanged glances with each other at a loss of words.They knew that he would get his memory back at some point but they wanted her with them when he'd remember how they lost her.

Y/n sat there feeling a little hope ignited in her heart after meeting him.She kept reminiscing his words and they really helped her calm down.She quickly changed into the pair of comfortable clothes that he asked from the room service for himself.He knew how the girls were treated at these places so he did that.He asked her if she had eaten anything which she actually hadn't and these things made her feel that she was a person not an object.These days in this hell made her mind believe that she was an object to be used by anyone and thrown away.

She sat on the bed fiddling the handkerchief in her hand which he gave her.It comforted her while she kept her eyes on the photograph he gave her remembering his words.

"I'll come back in some time but till then please don't cry."he said to her looking straight in her eyes.

"And one more thing.Don't open the door no matter who comes except if it's me or these guys."He said handing over her a picture of him and his six friends who were never less than brothers to him.He carried the picture with him always in his wallet.

He now also remembered how Taehyung insisted them for getting a photo of all of them together.And the photographer was so shocked to see those dangerous men at his place.But they were just like seven normal guys who wanted to have some memories of them together.They even payed the photographer a huge amount when they got to know he was in a difficult situation and he needed money for his daughter's surgery.

He left the hotel carefully observing the security of the place.It wasn't very tight but still he needed to think carefully because the last time his sudden action resulted in bringing bad result only.

He reached the place where they were staying at the moment and called all of them in his room.A plan was formulated that they would be waiting at a bar nearby the hotel while one of them would be going inside the hotel to bring her out.Jungkook gritted his teeth even at the thought of it but he had no other choice and he had to show that they were buying her.
