Chapter 13
Jimin's P.O.V
I was frozen at my place, totally speechless. Out of all places, what is she doing here! She was holding a tray full of drinks, serving around.
And—WHAT THE HELL IS SHE WEARING?!
I had to blink a few times to see if it's not a hallucination and it's Rosé that I'm seeing in front if me.
Damn.
I can't seem to take my eyes off her, she looks so mesmerizing.
Her blond hair, pale skin and those innocent eyes makes her look like an angel but her outfit says otherwise.
Holy cow, this girl is gonna be the death of me.
I shook my head to get rid of my dirty thoughts.
She looked uncomfortable from the stares she is getting and kept pulling her shorts downward. I can feel my blood boiling inside me at those hungry stares at her body.
She just looks so irresistible but I would like it more if it was only for my eyes only.
I've never seen her wearing clothes like this, well what can you expect from a nerd. Her upper body is always covered in the uniform, unlike other girls. She wore the longest skirt among all the girls in school and that's what I liked about her, she doesn't try to impress anyone, she is just herself.
But the question is; What the hell is she doing here, in a fucking club?
This situation is so frustrating. I didn't realize that I was gazing at her like a creep.
Okay, I need to stop checking her out and get myself together.
I should approach her to ask the question that has been itching me since the moment my eyes landed on her. I was about to make my way towards her when I saw some drunkards looking towards her. One of them even started to approach her.
Oh no, no, no! not on my watch!
I walked past the sea of people but unfortunately, people started to get in my way. I squeezed past these drunkards, as quickly as possible. When I reached there, she wasn't standing there and my heart sank in the pit of my stomach.
I frantically looked around for her and saw that guy from before dragging her through a door.
Oh hell no!

Author's P.O.V
Rosé was shaking in fear, she didn't want to work in a club in the first place but she had no choice. A drunk guy was dragging her through the back door.
"LET ME GO!"
She kept yelling at him to let her go but due to the loud music, her voice couldn't be heard. She kept wiggling her wrist to get rid of his grasp around her, while he kept tightening his grip, digging his nails on her skin, making her yelp in pain.
They reached an alley and she was shaking in fear now, beads of sweat formed on her forehead. He kept dragging her then suddenly, he halted in his steps and harshly pushed her against the wall. She winced in pain as her head came in contact with the wall behind her.
He smirked at her then leaned his face closer to her while she looked away in disgust.
He roughly grabbed her chin and made her look at him, "Listen here, kitten! Keep that pretty mouth of yours shut and just do as I say!" He gritted, nails digging on her face. Tears form in her eyes but she didn't let them fall.
She knew that if she screamed for help, no one would come for her rescue because of the loud music and who knows that there are more people like this man lurking around here too. All these things made her want to cry out loud, but she won't. She doesn't want to appear weak in front of this guy.
"Okay then, you do as I say!" Someone growled and soon a punch was thrown at that guy.
"...AND STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" The new guy yelled at him while straddling him, continuously punching the drunk guy in the face.
Rosé recognized the all too familiar voice, "J-Jimin..." She called out for him shakily and the said boy stopped punching the drunk guy who is knocked out by now. He stood up while panting, glaring at the guy, fist-clenching, veins popping out of his neck and arms. Jimin was furious and it wasn't a pleasant sight. Angry Jimin was really scary and it was scaring her.
She again called out his name but this time she whispered with a shaky voice, "J-Jim-in..." he looked up at her then glared at which she gulped in fright and pressed herself more against the wall.
He took furious steps towards her and slammed his hands against the wall, beside her head, trapping her between his arms, making the scared girl flinch.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EVEN DOING HERE?! WHAT IF SOMETHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO YOU IF I HAVEN'T REACHED IN TIME!" He was so angry that he bursted out. She flinched at the sudden outburst and finally let her tears fell while looking down. She broke into sobs.
That's all it took for his anger to be gone in just a snap of fingers.
Pabo Jimin, you were supposed to comfort her not scare her.
He started to grow worried, "H-Hey, I'm s-sorry, I didn't mean to yell at you." He stuttered nervously, but it became worse, and when she started sobbing hard. He didn't know what to do, hands in the mid-air, wanting to hold her but afraid that he'll hurt her even more.
Suddenly, she jumped at him, wrapping her arms around his neck, burying her face in his nape. He was frozen at his place. His mind went blank for a second but came back to reality when he felt her tears soaking his sweater.
He wanted to hug her back but he can't because of her outfit. So, he takes his jacket which was hung over his arm, and wrapped it over her shoulders then wrapped his arms around her waist tightly, enveloping her in his embrace. He buried his face in her hair and whispering comforting words.
He was also scared because if he wasn't here in the first place, anything could have happened to her and he doesn't want to dwell on these thoughts, so he tightened his hold around her, afraid she'll slip out of his arms. Who knows when will he get a chance like this.
_________________________________
Rosé was sitting at a park's bench, tightening the jacket around her and quietly sniffling. Jimin came running towards her and handed her a water bottle at which she mumbled thanks to him.
He sat beside her, letting her gulp down the water. He was fiddling with his fingers then looked at her while she was looking at nothing in particular, lost in thought. He cleared his throat and she whipped her head towards his direction.
"So....mind explaining what were you doing there in the first place?" She sighed and looked down. She doesn't have a choice but to tell him, after all, he saved her.
She took a deep breath and started speaking with a shaky voice, "M-My mother..." he turned his body towards her, attentively listening to her.
"She is ill and we didn't have much money. I did some part-time jobs after school but due to those detentions and some other things that happened, I lost one of my jobs. Then suddenly, Mom's doctor informed me that they need more money ar else they'll have to stop the treatment but I begged him that I will arrange some money and that's how I got here. I didn't want to be here in the first place but what could I do, the pay here is good."
Jimin was shocked after listening to her story. He is the reason why she's here in the first place. He felt immense guilt and regretted everything he has done to her.
He thought about helping her but he knew that she will never accept it.
"Then what about school?" He asked quietly, afraid of the outcomes.
She sighed, "I was thinking of dropping out because I really can't afford my mom's hospital bills and school fees at the same time. My mom is more important to me, she's the only family I have left." He sighed sadly, just because of his stupidity, she's leaving the school.
The sad fact was, he knew he can't stop her.
"I'm sorry, this is all my fault, I–" She cut him off, "It's okay, my mother's disease is not your fault. I was bound to come here and in fact, thank you for saving me earlier. I don't know what I would have done if you didn't have come." She felt better letting this all out.
Why are you being so nice to me?
He thought, all he ever did was hurt her and now she's making him feel even guiltier.
She stood up from the bench, " I should go home, it's getting late." He also stood up as well, "Then I'll walk you home, no arguing," He told her firmly.
She didn't protest because she was still scared from the incident that happened earlier, she didn't want to go alone.
She nodded and they started to walk in silence. Both of them were lost in their thoughts and after 15 minutes of walking, they reached her house. Her house was old looking, was so small compared to Jimin's house.
They bid goodbye to each other but when she was about to enter her house, he grabbed her arm and pulled her in a hug. He didn't know why he did that but he just wanted to do that.
She was frozen at her place, surprised by his sudden gesture but then gained her senses and hugged him back because she really needed it.
"Good luck..." He whispered and that's all she needed. They stood there for a while then let go of each other. Their cheeks were burning up, but due to the darkness of night, they couldn't see that.
Jimin scratched the back of his neck, suddenly feeling shy, "I....uh....I... should get going." He waved at her and she waved back while entering her house. Jimin was smiling from ear to ear the whole time while making his way towards his home.
I guess coming to a club wasn't that bad.
