Your pov

Another day of hell. I mean school.

But it's the truth though. I'm not loved. Not even seen as a thing maybe.

Here I am in front of the gateway to hell.

Just when I was about to enter,

"Yah twiglet!" I heard his voice (Twig+Piglet=Twiglet, neither too lean nor too fat)

I turn around to see my bully- Jerkook, sorry , Jungkook. He bullies only me. And he has forbidden anyone else from bullying me.

"What do you want, Jungkook?" I ask, tired of everything

"Nothing. Just wanted to see that face of yours," he replied casually.

I sigh in tiredness and shake my head slowly.

We walk to our lockers. When I was taking my books ,I felt two arms trap me in between him or her and my locker.

I turn around my head to see Kai, the playboy of our school.

"What do you want Kai?" I spat out the words full of anger and frustration.

"You," he said with a smirk.

"So I'm your next target, huh?" I try to get him off but he held my wrists and pin them to the lockers.

"Let me go, dumbhead " I said trying to wriggle out of his grip. But he only tightened his grip, making me wince in pain.

"You better let Y/n go now" I heard someone say.

Author's pov

"You better let Y/n go now" you turn to your right to see Jungkook fuming with anger yet tried to remain calm.

"And if I don't?" Kai turned to his side with a smirle (Smirk+Smile=Smirle)

Jungkook exhaled and spoke, "Then you asked for it,"

The next thing you see, Kai on the ground with Jungkook on top of him punching Kai mercilessly.

"Don't. You. Dare. Touch. Them." Jungkook said emphasizing each word with a punch on Kai's face, making it bleed with all the students surrounding them now.

"Jungkook, let go," you tried getting him up so that he won't get hurt. You don't know why you wanted him to not get hurt though.

Seeing you, his eyes soften. He stood up and you took his bag in your hand.

He held your other hand and intertwined his fingers with yours. Just then you feel a wave of electrical sparks rush through your whole body. And you suddenly felt like you wanted to use the washroom because of his touch.

"Let's go," he said, not before landing a final kick on Kai's abdomen.

You both went to your classroom and Jungkook sat down beside you. And then your class goes like blah blah blah.

Time skip (during lunch)

"Come with me," Jungkook said.

"Where?" you asked him, confused.

He just pulls hand and sneaks both of you to a park outside the school.

You both sit on a bench and admire the view in front of you as the cool breeze hits your faces.

"Thank you," you say.

"For what?" he asks confused.

"The morning" you reply.

"Don't thank me. It's my responsibility."

"Pardon."

"Uh, nothing."

You both sit there in awkward silence for 30 minutes.

"My parents used to bring me here" he started.

You turn your head to him and listen.

"This park used to be my hideout sometimes. Whenever I fought with my parents, I came here."

"Where are they now?" you asked him.

"Dead. In a car crash, five years ago," he tells with his head hanging low.

"I'm sorry" you place your palm on his hand. He looks at you and you did not have a formal sympathy the others give. You cared about him. And you don't know why.

You were lost in his doe eyes, and he was in yours.

After a long time, you break the contact. You look everywhere but not at him.

"Tell me something about yourself" he asks "I know that I don't have a good history with you, but I never got to know you."

"The same. My father died in a fire accident when my mother was pregnant with my brother. And my mother died giving birth to my younger brother," you tell with a blank expression.

"You have a brother?" he asks out of shock 'cause you never mentioned to anyone, not even to your friends that you have a brother.

"Had a brother" you correct him "He had a weak heart. He died five years ago. We didn't have enough money for a surgery."

"Where do live now?" when he asks that your eyes turn from blank to fear.

"My uncle" after a few minutes, you ask him "What time is it?"

"Four" he shrugs

"Oh god! Jungkook I have to go now. Sorry and bye" before he could tell anything you start running towards you home.

Finally when you reach home, you start shaking and slowly turn the door knob and enter your house.

You see your uncle sitting with crossed legs on the couch and his eyes closed.

"What time is it?" he asks coldly

"F-Four five" you say checking the clock in your house.

Your uncle gets up from his couch and takes a glass bowl in his hand.

He suddenly throws it on the floor beside you, making you flinch as reflex.

"It is five minutes past four and you come home only now!" he shouts at the last.

Tears threaten to fall out of your eyes.

"Where's your salary?" he asks darkly

"I lost the job," you were working part time in a cafe and it was sold to some company two days ago making everyone working there loose their jobs.

You felt a sting on your cheek and the next thing you know you were on the floor.

"Clean the glass pieces" your uncle ordered as you nod your head and start picking them.

Suddenly he stepped on your hand leaving no space between your palm and the floor, making the glass pieces pierce into your skin.

You wince in pain but then you hear a loud thud.

You look up to see- Jungkook?

Right there, standing with a baseball bat up in the air.

Jungkook's pov

(At the park)

I noticed the way Y/n's eyes turning afraid while saying 'Uncle'.

When I tell them the time, they started panicking.

"Oh god! Jungkook, I have to go now. Sorry and bye" they said to me and ran away, like running for dear life.

'Something's not right' I say to myself and start running after Y/n.

After a marathon, they finally stopped in front of a house. The uncle's house I assume.

I move to the window to see whom I assume to be the uncle, throw a glass bowl on the floor.

And then he slapped them.

'That's it. I'm going in'

I took a baseball bat from the entrance and go in to see the uncle's back facing me. And that's all it took me to knock his head with the bat, making him faint and land on the floor with a loud thud.

Present time

Your pov

"Jungkook? What are you doing here?" I ask him.

He drops the baseball bat and come to me.

He takes my wounded hand in his and asked, "Where's the first aid kit?"

"In the kitchen" he ran towards the kitchen, coming out with the first aid box, and started treating my wounds.

The whole time, I was just staring at his face.

"Am I that handsome?" he asks with a smirk without even looking up

"You wish," I stuck out my tongue at him

"Oh c'mon. I know that I'm irresistible. But just wait for some time." he winks at the last.

After finishing, "Where's your room?" he asked.

"Upstairs, to the right. Why?"

He goes upstairs with our school bags in his hand. I follow him.

He enters my room, takes a bag and starts packing my things.

"What are you doing?" I ask.

"Packing your things" he replied.

"I can see that. But-" he cuts me off by placing his index finger on my lips.

"I'm not going to let you live here anymore. You are coming with me and you will stay with me." he says, still packing my things.

"But still-" he cuts me off this time by pecking my cheek. I stand there, frozen.

"No buts. If you talk back once again then it will be more than a shut up peck" he says with a smirk. I shut my mouth and stand there watching him.

"Do you have anything else to pack?" he asks and I shake my head as a no.

Suddenly we hear a groaning from downstairs.

I move near Jungkook and hold his arm in fear. We both slowly walk towards the door and he locks it.

"How will we get out now?" I ask him as he was looking somewhere else. I follow his eyes and look where he was looking.

"No. Don't even think about it" I tell him

"We don't have an option" he throws our bags out of the window and he jumps too.

I stand there looking down.

"C'mon, jump" he says from down

"I'm going to die" I say as I jump out and ready to feel my bones break.

But I instead feel two arms securing me. I open one of my eye to see Jungkook holding me bridal style.

"Let's go" he says dropping me to my feet and taking the bags.

We finally reach his apartment. He shows me around. Within an hour, he reported to the police about my uncle and had him behind the bars by the end of the day.

2 years later

"Jung Y/N" they call out my name.

I walk to the stage and receive my graduation certificate.

From here I can see Jungkook and his gang cheering for me.

I then get down to the stage and run towards Jungkook jumping on him and hugging him with my legs wrapped around his waist.

Author's pov

"I can't breathe" Namjoon says dramatically

"Stob it" Jin nudged Namjoon.

"My little sibling is all grown up" Hobi says, wiping off his fake tears.

"I'm going to sleep" Suga says making everyone to look at him in disbelief.

Jungkook turns his head to Bangtan's side and tells "Can't you see that we're being emotional?"

While you were still in the same position with him, burying your face in the crook of his neck like a baby, not caring about anyone else around you.

You had dinner with Bangtan, in a restaurant near Jungkook's apartment.

And now, here you are sitting in the park's bench with Jungkook next to you, both of you admiring the city lights and starry skies.

You suddenly chuckle making Jungkook give you a questioning face.

"Never thought that my bully would be my saviour," you say as he smiles hearing it.

"To be frank, I never felt like being bullied. You were being delicate." You tell him

"Do you know why?" he asks with a smile

"I know" you tell him as he looks at you in shock.

"You see, I'm a love expert without an experience . It was obvious when you let no one else hurt me but you would bully me. And you probably annoyed me so that you can get my attention. We have to admit that it's a dumb way," you say, looking into his eyes.

"Jungkook?" he hummed in response as you turn face each other.

You suddenly kneel down in front of him while he was sitting on the bench.

You take his hands in yours looking into his eyes and start speaking,

"My life is wonderful because you are with me, you saved me from the darkest times of my life, you make me happy even if I feel sad and low. Your smile lightens up my life and all the darkness disappear. Your love has made me crazy. I will love you till the end of my life. And I want to be with all my life. Yes, I love you!

Can I keep you and never let you go?

Can I hold your hand and hug you tight?

Can you be my first and last kiss, first and last date,

Or just my first and last everything?

Can you be the first one I see when I wake up in the morning,

And the last one I see and kiss good night before my sleep?

Can I tell the world how lucky I am to have you in my life?

Or simply, Jeon Jungkook ,can you be mine for the rest of my life?"

You confess to him on your knees.

It was silent for a moment, like in all those memes and cartoons where a gush of wind would pass through.

Suddenly Jungkook also knelt in front of you, holding your hands.

"You know? It should have been the other way around. I should have been the one doing the cheesy things and making you blush," he chuckles lightly.

"How do you feel when you are with me?" Jungkook asks with lovely eyes.

"Can I be honest?" you ask and he nods, You continue "Every time when you touch my hand, when you look at me, when you care about me, I felt like using the washroom" he lets out a little laugh.

"And that is called a love zing " he finishes off.

You bite your lower lip as you look at him blushing. He looks at you and says "Don't bite what's mine."

"I can't be your boyfriend. I know that we have not even dated. But still, Jung Y/N, will you marry me?"

"YES, YES!" you scream in joy and hug him tightly.

You both stand up as you break the hug.

Looking down at your feet you ask "Should we kiss now? I mean I've not yet had my first kiss, even you've not yet had your first kiss, we have not had our first kiss. And me being the love expert without an experience I've seen in the dramas that this is where the characters kiss and-" you got cut off by his lips on yours.

He holds your left cheek caressing it and his other gripping your waist, and you with one hand on his nape and the other gripping his soft hair locks while both of your lips moving together in sync with his as if they were molded for each other. Honey. He tastes sweeter than honey. Your lips fit on his perfectly.

After minutes you break the kiss.(Oxygen exists, duh)

"See. I told you that watching dramas is not a waste of time," you say as a fact, making him chuckle.

"Do you know what is more beautiful than your smile?" he asks you.

"What?" you ask him back.

"It's when you smile at me."

"Oh god! It's not even half an hour since we proposed to each other but you've already started saying cheesy things." you say laughing lightly.

"Then get ready, you are stuck with me listening to my cheesy compliments and getting showered by my love, for a lifetime." he commands playfully.

He rested his forehead on yours and spoke, looking into your eyes, "I love you."

"I love you too."

~the end~

It isn't 'Not every poem rhymes'. But it's 'Not every beautiful poem rhymes'.

A/n

I'm aware that the title I've used might be a sensitive one. I might've not exactly depicted it in the plot.

And I wanted to add this too.

Bullying is not a joke. It should not be taken lightly. It has horrendous effects on young individuals and their families. If you are being bullied: tell them to stop, get away from the situation, and tell a trusted adult. Do the same if you see someone else being bullied. Be an upstander. If they don't like you for being yourself, be yourself even more.
