Stay Alive - Jungkook's

Chapter 11's

"Yeji, you will hand over the report to Mr. Jungkook yourself, yes" said the chairman Ahn, forwarding the message he received from Jimin by phone earlier.

"Me?!"

As an ordinary employee, of course, it was very surprising for Yeji. Because not just anyone can meet the CEO directly. Especially for a weekly report.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I?" Yeji was worried that his boss was working on him, because he was late to collect reports.

"I was astonished myself." replied the chief Ahn, then exited the room.

Yeji turned to Hara who was listening to the conversation. "You heard it yourself, right?" as if dissatisfied when asking one person, he also asked a friend next to him.

"Yes. It's also strange that the company's regulations have been in place since its CEO was replaced. Is the company's operational structure no longer valid?" terang Hara's.

"Some,"

"Pun, if it's supposed to be handed over to the top job, shouldn't you go see the secretary?" hara added, critically

But his friend did not care. Yeji was struck by excitement. "Stupid about that. I'm going to the CEO's room! I met him face to face!"

"What outfit should I wear today? Oh, goddamn. I haven't had a shower, how is this! I need to clean up first!" yeji continued with a frenzy, until every sound that came out of his mouth was very deafening.

In the next instant, the girl instantly disappeared to nowhere. While Hara just shook her head with Yeji's behavior. Well, at least his friend forgot about the hard times after being chased to make a report. Consider it a gift for trying hard.

...***...

Decades had passed since the lunch break ended, Jungkook was sitting pensively in his study while looking at the paper bag containing the lunch menu with a blank look. Intentionally, the parcel he wanted to give to Hara to eat with him.

He thought, Hara will return to the rooftop like yesterday. But a thousand dear, the girl never showed her nose, even though Jungkook had waited alone for almost an hour.

Now, Jungkook is increasingly agitated to think about whether Hara hates him because of his attitude yesterday? Or did the girl deliberately avoid it?

These thoughts continued to roll over Jungkook's head. He hasn't eaten anything since. Though usually he always prioritizes his stomach first and rules out other things.

Plus there was no Jimin there, because his secretary had to meet the vendor to cooperate with his company.

Before long, there was a knock on the door. Jungkook was surprised, thinking Hara would appear from the doorway. But his wish should he swallow roundly because the one who comes is Yeji.

"Excuse me, Mr. Jungkook." said Yeji shyly.

"What do you need to do here?" Jungkook positioned his seat to be steadfast, so that his authority as a CEO reappeared. Because he will not show his fear to others. Especially his own subordinates.

"Aren't you the one who asked me to come directly to submit this weekly report?" ask Yeji carefully. He begins to fear that Chief Ahn is really working on him.

It took Jungkook five seconds to regain consciousness. He then remembered, that Yeji's presence in his room because at his own command.

"Oh, yes. Is correct. Where's report?"

Sontak Yeji handed over the dossier wrapped in a leather map from his grasp. Actually that was not the reason Jungkook called Yeji into his room. Can you guess what the goal is not?

Jungkook received the map without opening it. He just put it on the desk afterwards.

"Look, are you close to Hara?"

The girl in front of him was silent and asked before answering yes.

Jungkook then went back to the second question. "Does she have a boyfriend now?"

This time Yeji frowned both of his eyebrows in wonder. "Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Ah, about that ...,"

It's been. But Hara refused to answer.

As if it is still lacking, the next question was returned Jungkook. "Do you know where he lives?"

"Hm .. I've never been to his house, anyway. He always refused every time I wanted to stop by." Yeji gave a pause before continuing his speech again. "Didn't the company have Hara's full data? Why not just search there?"

Jungkook made clumsy. No wonder Yeji and Hara are close friends. Just look at their similar-looking natures.

"Oh, yes. Did you call me here just to ask Hara?"

Stagnant jungkook. Apparently Jimin nature also belongs to the girl in front of him. As a sensitive person and good at reading situations.

"Well .. You can help keep it a secret, right?"

Yeji nodded lightly. Thankfully, the girl was invited to work together. Hope so.

"Oh, wait. Did Hara have lunch today? I didn't see it."

"Yes, he had lunch in the cafeteria with me." as if he had understood Jungkook's implicit intent, Yeji then added, "Usually he eats in the rooftop if there are no friends."

Jungkook's worries for the past few tens of minutes finally broke down instantly. Thankfully he only mistook her judgment on Hara.

While Yeji pampit left the room accompanied by astonishment. Thinking about why the CEO was so interested in Hara. But as a close friend, Yeji will be fully supportive if Hara will be in a relationship with Jungkook later. Even though it sounds impossible.

...***...

This afternoon, the bus that Hara was riding towards her neighborhood, had already arrived on the spot. As usual, he just went home alone without ever inviting Yeji to stop by even though his friend whined forcefully. Or even agree to Soobin's invitation to take him home. Hara is afraid of being hated if others find out about her broken family.

After walking down the road on foot from the stop, without feeling ten steps left Hara arrived in front of the fence of his house. I don't know why the way home is always faster than when leaving for work.

"Hara's home yet?" greet aunt Mijin-Hara's neighbors whose residence is located right next to the girl's house.

Hara paused for a moment to say hello. "Oh, Aunt Mijin. Aye,"

"I didn't think you'd still be at home in that house,"

"Yes, Bi. How else, I have no savings to buy my own house." explained Hara accompanied by a small laugh.

"Why don't you just stay with me,"

"Thank you for the offer, Bi. But I don't want to bother you."

"Alright," Aunt Mijin didn't want to force Hara's choice. "Tap on my door if you change your mind, yes" she added, echoing the girl's smile.

Aunt Mijin also invited Hara without any intention of talking longer. As the girl disappeared from her sight, aunt Mijin gave a worried look. He knows what happened to Hara all along. And also questioning why Hara did not choose to leave the house after what happened.

As soon as he opened the door, it was not a welcome greeting that greeted Hara. It was seen that his mother and father were having a big fight in the living room located not far from the position of Hara standing.

Shouts, curses, and slammed items also decorate the debate of the two. While from the direction of the stairs, Shin Hoseok who was Hara's older brother approached her who was still in the doorway while looking down. Accompanied by the heartbeat of Hara racing quickly shrouded in fear.

"You still dare to come to this house?!" Hoseok said with a magazine that began to roll in his grasp, then hit Hara's head several times.

"How dare! Stupid sister! Don't know yourself!"

Hara was unable to escape. Both of his legs seemed to be stuck could not be invited to compromise. He just resignedly received the pain of the blow to make his head began to throb pain. He remains subdued to protect himself. For even stepping back is meaningless. The blow that the elder gave was hard to avoid. Both her parents did not seem to care.

Hara's tears can't be contained anymore. Father and mother's quarrels never stopped. Hara's head seemed to want to break in the face of the commotion that occurred. Also, his sanity is thinning due to the madness given by his family.

Hara then squatted down by closing her eyes. Close both ears with his hands while shouting hysterically.

"STOP IT!"

"WHISPER!!!"

"KILL ME!"

"LET ME DIE!"

In the next instant, someone-who turns out to be Jungkook breaks in because Hara's screams sound so loud as she opens an unlocked turnstile.

Jungkook then approached Hara and positioned himself next to the girl with worry. Wondering what made Hara cry hysterically? What made the girl tremble in fear at this moment? Because there was no one in the house. What the hell happened to him?

"Hara,"

"Hara, awake!"

The girl was not even aware of the presence of Jungkook who kept calling her name, while patting her back gently. Hara remained curled up in agitation. Received the noise that filled his head.

"Hara,"

Until the third call, Jungkook's voice managed to awaken Hara's consciousness. The girl suddenly raised her head slowly - venturing into a face-to-face clash with the man who could somehow be there.

"Ju-jungkook?"

"Hara, are you okay?"

"Are you going to hate me?"
