"Yes I'm fine! I'll be back soon...Okay byee~~" She ends the call before continuing to flip the almost burnt pancakes in the pan.

"Oh you're up" She peeks over her shoulder when she heard the sound of the chair being pulled.
"What are you cooking?" He spoke in his morning voice which sends goosebumps on her body, but she tries to focus on her pancakes more.
"Pancakes! Well I only made it for me because I didn't thought that you would wake up after sleeping for 3 days straight. Not gonna lie, I was starting to get worried" She tells him before flipping the pancakes.
His sleepy eyes are now wide as he tries to decipher the information "I slept for 3 days?"
"Yeah you did. Seems like you haven't had a good sleep for a while huh" She jokes as she tries to lighten up the mood, but she only hear a sigh escape his lips.
"I'm sorry...that I made you worry" He plays with the hem of his shirt as he feels bad for sleeping in somebody else's home. Who is he to be so comfortable in a place that wasn't even his.
"Hey..." She pause her cooking before taking a seat next to him. Her hands reaches for his before stroking them with her thumbs "What are you sorry for? For sleeping? For being comfortable? I'm relieved to know that you had a good rest and you find this place comfortable. So, don't be sorry okay?"
That made a smile appear on his lips while he looks at her smiling ones. Her words never fails to make him feel better and he couldn't help but to feel this sort of warmness in the pit of his stomach. "I never though that I could sleep peacefully ever again, and not waking up in that place. Thank you"
They just stare at each other for a while and they didn't even realize that their faces are getting closer to each other until she smells something is burning. "Shit! The pancakes!"
She hurriedly turns off the stove before a pout appears on her lips. "I burnt it" A chuckle were heard from behind her which made her turn to look at the culprit. "Is that laughter I hear?"
He tries to hold in his laughter as he struggles to speak "Sorry, you're too funny" He snorts and that made both of them burst into laughter.
"Here let me help you" He insist before both of them made a good breakfast for them to enjoy together.

"Here" She hands him her phone, but he just stares at the device without taking it.
"For what?" He asks while he stares at her with his doe eyes.
"Well, obviously for calling your parents to pick you up and make a report or something. I don't know" She waves the device near his face, but he still doesn't take it.
"It's no use..." He mumbles before looking at his hands which he suddenly finds an interest in.
"Don't you wanna go home? You're free now" She frowns as she feels confused to his demeanour.
He lets out a heavy sigh before he speaks "I don't have anyone...and my dad was the one who.." He pauses while he tries to hold in his tears. "...he's the one who put me there in the first place" He finishes and a sniffle could be heard from him.
A sudden pang were felt in her heart as the scene before her seems so familiar. She could feel anger rising up within her "Why? Why would he do that to you?"
"He owns them money, and he sold me off to..." He chocked on his tears before he is pull into an embrace.
"It's okay, you're safe now" She strokes his hair which made him burst into tears that soaked her sweatshirt, but she didn't mind.

"We need to get you a place to stay, because you can't go home right now" She breaks the hug before cupping his face while her thumbs wipes off his tears.
"Why?" He asks in between sniffle while he looks up to her.
"Because I'm sure that they will find you there. Come on, get ready. I'll take you somewhere" She stands up before grabbing his hands to help him stand.
"But where?" He questions again before she gives him an assuring smile.
"Somewhere safe"

"I'm back!" She greets after opening the front door.
"Where have you been? I thought you were dead or something-" Her uncle pauses before looking at the boy she is holding hands with. "...who is this?" He points at Jungkook while the boy bows to him in a respectful manner.
"Ouh this is Jungkook and I just saved him from L.V Casa and he's gonna stay here starting today. Byeee~" She confesses quickly before pulling the boy and walk pass her uncle.
"What?!!" He yells while he glares at both of them who is running upstairs.
"JO HAEYOUNG!" She heard her uncle yell from downstairs but kept on going up the stairs while still holding his hand.
Jo Haeyoung. So that's her name. He thought to himself and a smile appears on his lips while he looks at their intertwined hands.

It's crazy how he could feel this sort of secureness whenever she holds him or whenever she is near him. Maybe because she had saved him and it had made him trust her in whatever she do.
