~Y/N POV~

"Well this is me. Thank you for tonight."

I tell Jungkook once we reach the front door of our apartment. Still pretending we're not roommates in this moment. He stretches a big bunny smile and chuckles before holding out his hand for me with a light bow forward.

"Of course my lovely. Tonight was a pleasure." Jungkook

I laugh, again. He's surprisingly had me laughing quite a bit tonight and I can see the happiness in his eyes when I do.

I slip my hand into his and he gently kisses my knuckles. Spreading warmth all over my body in the process. And shivers down my spine that lead to my downstairs region. Fuck.

When his lips leave my knuckles, he seductive looks up at me from his hooded eyes, smirks and smooths his thumb over my hand.

"I hope we can do this again soon." Jungkook

His voice deep, calm but very seductive. I almost quiver and tell him to take me now but I refrain from seeming desperate. I simple smile and nod back at him, but i know he knows what he's doing to me.

"I hope so too. I've enjoyed tonight."

Letting go of my hand he nods, and gestures for me to unlock the door. And I do, but before unlocking it, I pushed up on my tippy toes, tenderly kissed his cheek nice and slow. I felt his breath hitch, stunned by my actions. Then seductively whispered in his ear.

"Next time if you're lucky, I won't be wearing any panties."

Then I stepped inside the apartment, but saw his wide bunny eyes from shock before closing the door.

I laughed a little to myself, dropped my hand bag on the kitchen table, picked up the flowers he got me at the beginning of the date and found a vase to fill up with water. Jungkook was taking his time to come back in so I placed my flowers as a centre piece on the kitchen table, grabbed my hand bag again and went to my room to change.

Once in pjs, I came back into the living room just as I heard a knock.

With  a smile I opened the door, and Jungkook stood there now seeming more relaxed than before.

"Can I come in now?" Jungkook

I laughed once again, opening the door wider for him and held out an arm to the living room, gesturing for him to come inside. 

"Of course kind sir."

I joked and bowed 90 degrees forward. Jungkook stepped inside, laughing. Like genuinely laughing. It only made me laugh more cause his laugh is contagious.

"Thank you, my lady." Jungkook

He jokes back, bows 90 degrees then walks off to his bedroom still laughing.

Throwing myself on the sofa, I grabbed the remote and decided to find something to watch. But there didn't seem to be anything worth watching. I was flickering through it all when Jungkook came back through in his pjs, scratching his head before grabbing a glass of water.

Then I watched him walk towards me with a second glass of water and offer me the glass. I took it without hesitation and thanked him for it.

He looks at the flowers now in the vase, takes a sip of his water then comes to sit beside me on the sofa.

"Are those from your date?" Jungkook

I almost laugh but hold it in when I turn to face him more directly. His body already positioned facing  me only. A knowing yet cocky smirk upon his face.

"Yes they are. Rather beautiful if you ask me."

I told him and he smiles lightly.

"Not  more beautiful as you." Jungkook

That shocked me but he seemed serious when he said that. No joking, just genuine smiles. But I blushed. And I blushed hard.

"That was smooth."

That's when he laughed, head thrown back as he did but when he calmed down, he simply smiles again.

"But I mean it. No jokes." Jungkook

"Thanks." 

I mumble, then take a sip of my water to try and hide it. But it doesnt work because Jungkook stares at me cheeks, then my lips before fake coughing to look at the tv.

Then he got serious.

"I can talk to you about my family now if you'd like?" Jungkook

It caught me off guard but i didn't want to force him.

"It's okay. We can wait for another time."

He shakes his head just as quickly as I spoke.

"No. I'd like to talk about it now. Just to........" Jungkook

He looks down and gulps. As he does, my stomach drops.

"Just to get it out the way. I won't speak about it again but I want you to know." Jungkook

Without saying a word, I nod and wait for him to continue.

I watch him pause, staring at the coffee table for a long while, his eyes shifted and I can see his hands shaking and his leg is jumping up and down off the sofa. This is the first time I've seen him so nervous and fragile.

Then he speaks.

"I'm adopted." Jungkook

He stares at me, taking in my reaction. I don't react and stare back waiting for him to continue.

"I was adopted at six years old. My biological parents died of drug overdose. They ran a drug den. I lived with their dead bodies for a week before child services found me." Jungkook

I gasped, but didn't say anything. I wanted to comfort him but he seemed to want to keep talking. As he stares at my hands on my lap.

"I remember it. I lived off mouldy bread and stale cereal. It's all they had. Drugs were more important." Jungkook

He nods to himself, biting his lip.

"I was adopted by a family friend of my dad's. His name is Minwoo. A very rich man. He does business in everything. Politics, healthcare, education, you name it, he's got a part in it." Jungkook

Wow.

I stay quiet and listen.

Jungkook continues.

"The abuse started when I was seven." Jungkook

Oh shit.

He doesnt even look at me when he says it. Just down at his hands, playing with the hem of his black pyjama top.

"It was verbal at first. Then physical. Then sexual." Jungkook

He gulps and I do to. I can feel my heart crushing for him.

"He forced me with other people. Adults mostly. Minwoo adopted twins after me. Only a year younger. A boy, Jae and a girl Chae." Jungkook

Oh god. I don't like where this is going.

He bitterly chuckles.

"I don't think I need to say more than that. The three of us together. That's all I'm going to say on that." Jungkook

He shakes his head, squeezing his eyes shut. Visibly shaking and I reach for his shaking hands. When we touch, his eyes open and he looks at me like a scared little boy. It breaks my heart.

"I would refuse a lot, Fight back. But he would beat me with whatever he could get his hands on. I spent quite the childhood in hospital." Jungkook

"How did he not get caught?"

Jungkook gives me a knowing look, sighs.

"He covered it up because of his power in healthcare. Not to mention child services. Money goes along way." Jungkook

There was a pause between us but I didn't take my hands from his. He kept a firm hold of me, as if my hands provided comfort.

"I ran away from home at fifteen. I lived on the streets for four years before I created my business. It was rough but I made it." Jungkook

He forces a smile but i don't smile back. I just pull him into a hug and whisper in his ear when I feel his whole body freeze.

"This is not out of pity. This is because I care about you and you need this."

"I'll be okay. I don't feel pain. I have congenital insensitivity to pain." Jungkook

He whispers in my ear but I hold him firmer. And he allows me to.

I've heard of that before. It's a dangerous condition.

"That doesn't shield you from different forms of pain Jungkook. But you have me now. If you want, you can always come to me. Roommate, friend, or even more than a friend."

His arms around me crushed into me more, moulding his whole body into mine on the sofa. I felt the desperation as he held me like his emotional support teddy. And I let him.

We end up cuddling on the sofa for a very long time. Falling asleep together once again, but I didn't fall asleep without hearing him whispering.

"You are my future." Jungkook
