013

THE PAIR STAYED AT THE ORPHANAGE TILL LATE. Hana got to know the kids more as they told her stories of what they wanted to become. She was intrigued at how vivid their imagination was. They reminded her of someone who was really important her.

Who was still important to her. Even if she may never see him again, even if she had to go through many worlds to meet him again.

Hana had promised herself that, no matter what, she would try her best and be here for these kids. She always had a soft spot for children, even if at times she could get jealous at how pure they seemed to be.

'Jungkook, thats not the way home.' She questioned him as she saw they were going on an unfamiliar route.

'Who said i'm taking you home?' He said as he smiled at her. ' The days not over yet, and i still have one more thing to show you.'

It had been twenty minutes now, and the feeling of regret began to fill her insides. Hana felt bad as he had been pushing her for so long, not once stopping for a break. She had told him countless of times that she could push herself but he wouldn't allow her. Making up random excuses like how she could pull a muscle in her arm or something like that.

'Jungkook-ah. Please, I can push myself.' She said yet again as she heard his breathing become heavier.

'Its fine. We're here anyways.' He said as they reached a worn-out staircase. He sighed as he stopped pushing her.

'The stairs are to steep for the wheelchair. We're just going to have to leave it here. Come on, i'll pick you up.'

He said as he walked in front of her.

'Its fine. I can walk.' Hana said as she tried to avoid the frequent piggyback ride.

Jungkook just ignored her as his arms laced under her legs, pulling her up towards him, in a bridal style.

She gave a light squeal as her arms uncontrollably found their way around his neck, her face dug deep in the warmth of his sweater.

After what seemed forever, they finally made there way to the top. Jungkook gently placed Hana down on the ground and smiled.

Hana looked up, and suddenly became shocked. She could see the whole town from here, and god did it look amazing. She limped closer to the edge, still mesmorised.

'It looks so beautiful.' She said once Jungkook was at her side. 'How did you even find this place?' She then said as she turned her head to look at him.

'I actually can't remember. But when i was going through a hard time, this was the place I came to. It was like it was calling me.'

The light from the stars above them made his eyes look like they had their own galaxy.

'You know, I haven't told anyone about this place.' He then said.

'Wait so you mean, I'm the first.' She looked at him, eyes slightly wide. Jungkook just chuckled and nodded.

'Why me?'

He locked his eyes with hers, leaning in a bit.

'Because I think your special.' He whispered.
'Because I think they,' he pointed to the sky, 'Sent you to me, sent you so I could look after you.'

Her eyes softened, as her heart began beating way too fast for her liking. No matter what, no words could form. It was like there was a flood up in her brain as she couldn't think properly.

Tears began to build in her eyes, threatening to spill. Could it be? Could they have forgiven her? Could it be because of him?

'And maybe, maybe for you to even look after me.' He then said, his eyes showing sincerity.

Hana was too lost in her own mind, which explained her next action. Her arms wrapped around his waist as she bought him closer to her, her body trying to find the addicting warmth of his.

Tears wetting his sweater as her head rested in the crook of his neck. She didn't know what had told her to do this, but to her, if felt so right. As if it was meant to be.

'Thank you.' She whispered. 'You don't know how much that means to me.'

Jungkooks arms then hugged onto her body tightly as he placed his chin on  top of her head.

'Anytime.'

A gleam of happiness found its way inside of Jungkook. He was happy that she thought good of him. That she knew that she didn't need to explain, because no matter what, he'd be there with his arms opened wide for her and her only.

~~~~~

'So wait, you're telling me that you changed your email address to her name just so she would notice you?' Hana said as her laughter echoed through the trees.

'What?! I was a middle-school student, and I thought that was the best way to get my crush to recognise me.' He said trying to hold a serious face.

But Hana wouldn't take any of it as she continued to laugh her heart out.

'Oh my god, thats the funniest thing I've ever heard.'

The pair had been laying on the hill for what seemed forever, telling eachother their most embarressing stories and other stuff that linked to that.

'So, have you ever had a best friend?' Jungkook then asked.

Hana allowed her eyes to gaze over the city as she sat up, pulling her knees to herself.

'I've never been good at making friends. Always kept to myself, because wouldn't it be selfish to vent your life to a person who probably has problems of their own to deal with.'

It was more of a rheotorical quesion.
Jungkook then sat up next to her, mirroring her position as he looked over to her.

'Of course not. Thats what friends are for, closer to some then others.' A smile formed on his face.' You know, i was just like you, never good at making friends. It wasn't because of me being shy, but because i was scared. Scared that someone would judge me because of my problems. But i realised i was wrong, Taehyung helped me see that.

He showed me another world. One with less conflict and more happiness. And forever I will be grateful to have him, more of a brother then a friend.'

Hana couldn't help but feel that he was telling the truth. She was scared. Scared that no one would want her as a friend or even more. Because if they knew of her past, what she had done, they'd definately leave.

Jungkook knew she was in deep thought and that at this moment wasn't a good thing. Because he knew that she'd probably think to deep into things. He wanted to help her try and trust someone. Try and trust him.

'But how do you find one? How do i get someone who can trust me, accept me and help me?' Hana said as she turned her head towards his.

'You don't have to,' Jungkook said as he allowed his fingers to put one of her loose strand of hair behind her ear. ' Because i'm right here Hana. Let me be that person. Let me help you. Please.' He said as he locked his doe-like eyes with her almond ones. 'You need to be selfish. I promise you, no matter what, i'll be there. Even if i have to run for miles just to reach you, i will be there.

So please Hana, allow yourself to trust me.'
