Stay Alive - Jungkook's

Chapter 14's

Jungkook's current condition is still the same, struggling in his own mind while saving the steering wheel of a strong car. He still gathers courage to meet Hara-even though his car has arrived in front of the girl's house, and parked the four-wheeled vehicle in the same place. Jungkook is too upset to accept the fact that Hara labeled their memories in the past as bad memories. 

Did I hurt you so much for leaving you then?

If so, how do I make it up to you?

A sudden knock on the car glass makes Jungkook immediately jerked. He turned to find out who did this. Apparently a middle-aged woman that Jungkook met a few hours ago-aunt Mijin.

Jungkook was quick to respond to the intention of the presence of aunt Mijin. The middle-aged woman must have wanted to talk to him - or wanted to drive him away to leave immediately, because Jungkook's car might be blocking the road, I don't know. Instead of speculating a no-no, Jungkook exits his car to meet aunt Mijin who is still carving a friendly smile featuring fine lines on her face that begin to age as she ages.

"You're that guy, right?" aunt Mijin opened the conversation as soon as Jungkook had just closed the car door.

"I-yeah, I took Hara to the hospital. But he went home first---"

"I know," cut Aunt Mijin fast, accompanied by a smile that she did not escape engraving since. "Oh, yes. I'm Hara's neighbor. People here used to call me aunt Mijin" she added, explaining who she was, as Jungkook's expression showed her asking who this woman in front of her was.

"Oh, so. I'm Nam Jungkook, Bi. Hara's friend." Jungkook reintroduced himself accompanied by a warmly welcomed handshake.

Jungkook calls himself a friend, because it will be troublesome if it is known as a superior in the eyes of Hara's neighbors. I don't know what rumors will spread. Well, though not everyone cares either, anyway. Because the average residents of the complex in the Hara home area, dominated by people who have apathetic personalities.

"Thank you, yeah, for helping Hara."

"It's no problem, Bi. I happen to want to stop by too."

"Thank God someone helped. This was the second time Hara had been like that. At that time no one knew his condition, he was alone at home. I knew he was asleep on the floor when I came to bring him some food. I really feel sorry for her," explained aunt Mijin making both of Jungkook's eyeballs widen.

"Where's the family going, Bi?"

One breath Aunt Mijin exhaled for a moment before returning to voice. "There was a tragedy .. The situation was completely chaotic at the time. But Hara still insisted on staying there after what happened to her,"

"What happened to Hara?"

"Ah, sorry. I'm not good at telling you everything. As a friend, you can just ask." suggested aunt Mijin. It would not hurt to also ask directly rather than hearing from the third party. Only, was the girl going to tell him?

"Well, I'll ask you later." honestly Jungkook himself wasn't sure if there was any courage to ask the girl. Because the more Jungkook tries to step closer, the more he knows the secrets Hara has, the more it feels the distance between the two.

"Oh, yes. Can I ask you a favor, Jungkook boy?"

"Yes, why, Bi?"

"Can you take Hara out of that house?"

"Eh?"

"It's not that I threw him out, or that he's not happy he's here .. It's just that, I want him to recover from the trauma. Hara's been suffering too much in her own house."

Jungkook suddenly quiet. He knew Hara was injured a long time ago. But how many injuries did the girl receive to date? How big of a wound did the girl have all this time?

"I'll try, yeah, Bi."

"Thank you for helping. Sorry to bother you,"

"It's appropriate, Bi. Because I'm his friend."

Right, just his friend. At least for now.

"Then excuse me" Jungkook then resigned from the conversation with aunt Mijin.

Fortunately aunt Mijin is not the type of mothers who like to talk a lot without knowing the time. So that the man could leave his body from there at the same second. Because to be honest, Jungkook is very awkward to talk to older strangers. Fortunately, Hara was the main topic of their conversation. Otherwise, I don't know what material will be the discussion of both.

Jungkook knocked first the door leaf made of wood. Who knows, this time Hara locked the door. Sure enough, after a few seconds of waiting, there was the sound of a house key playing from within. Hara still uses a manual-key even though her surrounding neighbors already use a passcode.

"Mr Jungkook?!" the first response Hara gave once opening the door was flabbergasted. Well, who is not surprised half to die found the boss came to his employee's house in the afternoon.

"How did you come here?"

"Are there any reports I should revise? Or is there some other work I need to do?"

Even when face to face with Jungkook like this, all Hara had in mind was about work. There was not the slightest tucked into his mind, if the CEO deliberately met for personal matters.

"Right, there's an urgent job you need to do right now,"

If this is the case, then Jungkook will lead the game, by following the girl's way of thinking.

"Now? Can't just be in the office,"

Hara started to panic. Which company deliberately lets a CEO go to employees voluntarily for work problems, as if there was no tomorrow.

"Alright .. but why did you come to me? I'm just a regular employee. Why not just meet with team leader Ahn? Looks like she's the one you should be meeting with," Hara said.

Really, at this moment Jungkook was eager to laugh out loud seeing how Hara's panicked expression was clearly on the girl's face. Obviously, Hara showed an attitude of not accepting if he had to do a job that he himself did not know what. Especially outside of work hours. Never had this happened to him. Ever, a few times. It was also the Ahn chief who did so, by contacting Hara by phone. Never has a CEO ever stepped in.

"Why am I meeting with Chief Ahn? You're all I need,"

One sentence said Jungkook managed to make Hara aghast. The girl began to be showered with her own speculation. Among other employees, why did he have to suffer? Is it time to get out of your comfort zone? Is his career the time to enter a phase full of trials like this?

"Alright, let's just say that I'm an employee at your company. But, what am I supposed to do?"

Jungkook was silent for a while taking time to think. To be honest he was also confused, because this happened without a plan. But Jungkook could not be made CEO if he could not make a decision in a short time.

"Pack your things, and get ready soon."

"What?"

"Oh, wait-no need to bring anything. I can prepare all your needs there."

Hara did not respond. He is still confused.

"Wait what else, come on!" urge Jungkook, awaken the reverie of Hara. "Lock your door first,"

"Don't forget to say goodbye to your next-door neighbor" Jungkook said.

Though confused, Hara obeys what Jungkook ordered. Starting from locking the door of the house-he did not even bring anything other than his cell phone and wallet that was put in a tote bag. Then say goodbye to Aunt Mijin who happened to be the middle-aged woman in her yard.

"Auntie, it looks like I'll be leaving the house for a few days. Please take my house, yeah,"

"No problem, Hara. I'll take care of him,"

Hara hugged Aunt Mijin for a moment. "Thank you, Auntie!" he said cheerfully, then walked ahead of Jungkook to the car.

Meanwhile, Jungkook gestures 'okay' using his finger at Mijin's aunt as a sign of having successfully taken Hara away from the house.

"I haven't told you to get in the car yet." Jungkook chirped, intending to tease Hara as the girl opened the front door.

As expected, Hara was easily made to panic by small things. He then behaved wrongly, because he felt it was slow to get ahead of his boss before being invited.

While Jungkook secretly chuckled. "I'm just kidding, come on."

Hara, who was clumsy, was confused to choose a passenger seat. Sit beside the wheel or on the back bench.

"After front. If you're in the back, I'm like a driver." Jungkook chuckled; Hara stared in amazement.

Although Hara did not say a word, Jungkook understood what the girl wanted. If there was a judgment of a person with high sensitivity, it was certain that Jungkook was at the god level.

The European saloon-type car, dyed in glossy black paint - with 4 doors - slowly left the housing complex, accompanied by the sound of exhaust echoing in the air.
