Ch. 20 Flashback 2

Few days passed and Jungkook kept running tiredly. He didn't know where he was going, he just followed where his feet took him. Tears never stopped falling from his eyes, he was so sad after losing his beloved mom.

The sun was rising slowly and Jungkook saw a big board at a spot where it was written

"WELCOME TO ILSAN " that's when he realized that he's in some other city. He kept walking and after walking for two straight hours he saw a park. It was a very small part at the end of an lonely alley. And he thought to go there.

His clothes were dirty and hair all messy. His stomach was growling loudly, he didn't had anything since that night neither got to have water. His throat was all sore coz of dry. He saw a tap at the park and without thinking he went in there and started drinking water from the tap.

After having enough water and washing his face and hands, Jungkook felt slightly better. There were not many swings but all old and rusted too . It was clear that the park was too much old . An old rusted slide caught his eyes . So he decided to take a nap under the slide.

Jungkook's eyes slowly open as he felt someone poking his forearm. Getting his vision clear, the first thing he saw was a face of a girl. He immediately sat up on the ground and accidentally hit his head with the slide's body as he was sleeping under it's shade.

His hand reached the spot that got hurt as his eyes shut in pain. It was really hard though .

" ah ah be careful " the girl exclaimed rubbing the back of his head with her hand.

He opened his eyes again to see her slightly worried face while she kept saying something he didn't pay attention to. She looked nearly of his age. Her hair were tied in a ponytail and she was wearing a tracksuit .

He was snapped out as she shook her hand in front of his face " hey!! are you listening?? I'm asking something "

" huh-uh?? "

" What. are. you. doing. here?? This slide is broken it's dangerous to sleep under it " she told him.

He realized that he was still under the old abandoned slide. He crawled out of the shade and found that the sun wasn't too high yet which means it's still morning.

He again looked at her when she asked her second question " Are you homeless?? "

He appeared weak, dirty and messed. Clothes torn from some spots and hair messed. Tear stained cheeks say it all. She could easily assume he was homeless.

He had no energy to speak, his throat hurt. His stomach growled loudly, audible to the girl too. He held his stomach trying to stop the voice but it didn't help. He looked at her apologetically thinking she might feel disgusted of him but she smiled. That's when jungkook noticed the cute little mole at her cheek, exact same like his mom.

She extended her hand to him " come with me"

she said

He looked at her hand and then again at, debating with himself whether he should go with her or deny.

" come on, you can trust me " she said.

With that statement of her, he held her hand and followed her actions as she stood up heading towards the bench in the park. She let go of his hand and gestured him to sit beside her on the bench. He did as she asked and watched her as she was rummaging through her bag pack.

She fished out a bun from her bag " here you can have it " she gave it to him.

Jungkook hesitantly took the bun from her mumbling 'thank you ' .

He was so hungry that he didn't care what she might think. He just dig in eating the bun. She smiled widely watching the male eating the bun. For some reason, she felt happy. It's a true fact that helping others gives happiness but what she was feeling was a different happiness. Something that she never felt before and she couldn't understand the reason .

She gave him her beautiful Pokemon print water bottle when he ate the whole bun.

" It's really nice of you " he said.

The smile never leaving her face " I'm Ensa , Min Ensa !! " she said extending her hand for a handshake.

"I'm Jeon Jungkook " He introduced himself taking her hand.

" What are you doing here?? Your parents?? " she asked.

" I don't have them " he replied looking at his hands.

Her gaze went soft on him " I'm sorry " she mumbled. He shook his head " it's OK "

"Wanna be friends?? " she chimed

He looked at her bright face, feeling confused why'd she ask an homeless to be her friend when she herself looks so rich and wealthy.

" You'll leave me if you know my story "

He was scared of losing something again. He was right at his point, who'd want to stay with someone who is poor and homeless, who has no parents and who killed his own dad??

" If that's the matter then...... I won't ask about your life " she said.

He looked at her still being clueless " Don't tell me, if I don't know anything I will be with you. " she said.

An unusual smile formed on Jungkook's lips. The words from her hit right at his heart. Somewhere in his mind he was wondering why'd she want to stay anyway?? But somewhere in his heart he wanted her to be with him.

" So we are friends from now Jungkook!! Always feel free to ask or share anything if you want. I am always with you " she told him.

" Can I call you bun?? as a nickname?? " He asked.

She pouted as if thinking " Is that because of my chubby cheeks?? " she asked squishing her cheeks with her hands.
