Chapter Seventeen

Ailee and Gray are worried about Seokjin's state. They brought him to their room and lied him down to their bed, they made sure that he's comfortable before going out of the room to call Jungkook.

The couple is genuinely worried about Seokjin. They just saw him in the corner of this luxurious hotel with his knees pulled up against his chest while shaking and crying.

"What happened to him?" Ailee asked his husband.

Gray massaged his temples because just like his wife, a sudden flash of concern and worry is building up in his system.

He snaked his arms around his wife's waist pulling her closer to him giving her a kiss on her temples while caressing her arms.

"Babe, calm down. Jungkook is on his way." Gray whispered.

They doesnt know what to do especially when Seokjin woke up the reason as to why the both of them just decided to call Jungkook to atleast comfort the poor sleeping boy inside their room.

Ailee and Gray is actually on their way out to eat. They owned this luxurious hotel and they just wanted to try the services that they're offering that's they decided to spend the night here not knowing that they'll find Seokjin whimpering in the corner of this huge luxurious.

After almost half an hour, they heard the door of their room opened up and soon after it revealed a worried looking Jungkook.

Jungkook walked towards his Aunt and Uncle giving them a kiss on the cheeks before looking around to check for Seokjin's presence.

"He's inside the room still sleeping." Ailee said.

Jungkook nods his head at them and immediately made his way to the room that the married couple pointed with a worried look on their face.

Jungkook bit his lower lip as he twisted the door knob being careful not to make any sound afraid that he might wake the younger up.

He knelt down at the side of the bed just staring at Seokjin. He took a deep sigh and started to stroke the older's hair as he saw the dried tears in his beautiful face.

"What is it, baby. hm?" Jungkook whispered.

He held the older's hand kissing the back of it for a couple of times while still looking at him intently just admiring how beautiful he is without even doing anything.

Jungkook stopped and bit his lower lip when Seokjin stirred in his sleep. The older whined a little until he rubbed his eyes using the back of his hands yawning that made the younger let out his bunny smile because of the cute gesture.

"Jungkook?" Seokjin called when he finally opened his eyes.

He sat up and leaned against the headrest of the king-size bed. He looked around and furrow his brows trying to remember how he got inside this luxury room.

"Uncle Gray and Aunt Ailee said they saw you crying," Jungkook sat on the edge of the bed looking worriedly at the older, "Why, baby? What happened?" The younger asked.

Seokjin bit his lower lip not knowing if he should say what really happened to the younger, it's embarrassing.

Does he even have the right to complain about getting sexually harassed when he got stripping as a job? The younger might just laugh at him for being irrational!

"It.. it's nothing."

Jungkook scoffed rolling his eyes not really believing what the older just said. He's in this hotel, he doesn't want to conclude but the only reason he could think of is about Seokjin's job.

"Baby, please. Tell me." jungkook encouragingly said.

He scooted closer to the older hugging him from the side nuzzling his nose against the older's neck. The older whimpered and tilted his head when he felt it but relaxed when he realized that it was just Jungkook.

"C'mon. You can tell me everything, baby."

Seokjin sighed. He sniffed and he immediately looked down when a tear fell from his eyes just by thinking about what happened a few hours ago. He wants to slap himself from complaining and crying about it.

Jungkook got worried when Seokjin's shoulder started to terribly shake which made him gulped down in fear. He cupped the older's cheeks and he scrunched up his nose when he saw Seokjin biting his lower lip so hard trying to prevent any sound from coming out of his mouth.

Seokjin hiccupped for a lot of times because of the tears that is continuously falling from his eyes and it's very heartbreaking for Jungkook to see him in that kind of state.

"f**k, baby. Tell me what's wrong," Jungkook hissed already worried about the whole situation, "Please." He said.

Seokjin covered his face with both of his hands as he cried himself out not caring anymore about the younger's presence, he just want to let it all out.

He feels so wrong and disrespected in so many levels. He knows that it comes along with his job as a stripper but at some point, he still wished for someone even if its his client to give him a little bit of respect, to atleast try and understand him and to view him as a human not just some toy.

"He.. he almost raped-"

Seokjin didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence because he became a crying mess and Jungkook immediately pulled him into a very thight hug shutting his eyes closed and wishing to see the man who almost wronged Seokjin.

"I know that I deserve it some-"

Jungkook pulled away from the hug raising his brows at the older. He tried to calm his nerves afraid that he might vent out his anger towards the wrong person.

"Baby, no." He cupped the older's cheeks making their eyes met, "Look at me." He ordered when the older looked away.

Seokjin gulped down and looked straight into the younger's eyes. There's still a tear streaming down his face but the way Jungkook is looking at him with so much adoration made him calm down.

The way Jungkook is looking at him like he is so precious and the way he touches him with utmost care made his stomach flipped even in this kind of situation. No, he doesn't deserve it. He shouldn't feel something like this.

"No person deserves to be harassed in anyway, remember that." Jungkook said in a very dominant voice.

"Bu.. but im a stripper..."

Jungkook let out a faint smile and kissed Seokjin's fingertips as he saw how the older's eyes shifted into something so familiar along with how he suddenly looked down, insecurity.

"A prostitute is a person. A stripper is a person. No one, Seokjin. No one deserves to be treated like that. No one deserves to feel molested and disrespected." Jungkook said.

Jungkook doesn't believe in 'I'll respect you, if you respect me' nor in 'I'll respect you, if you deserve my respect'. Jeon Jungkook strongly believes that regardless of age, gender, status and way of living- you should always have initial respect for every people. That's how his parents taught him.

Someone like Seokjin doesn't deserve to be treated like that and knowing how afraid he is and how broken he might be because of what happened is driving the younger crazy. He's with Seokjin for a short period of time but he's aware how Seokjin likes to make everyone believe that he's fine.

As for Jungkook, he doesn't want Seokjin to think that he needs to mask his emotions when he's with him. If anything, the younger wants Seokjin to show him his real side. He is more than willing to see how vulnerable the older is, he's willing to embrace his good and bad. Most especially, he can accept his past and make his future better.

"You'll stop working as a stripper, baby." Jungkook said.

He's not suggesting it, he's stating it. He cant let Seokjin stay with his job knowing how dangerous it is for the older. He wants a peace of mind and he cant have that if his mind is always wondering how's Seokjin doing.

"But Kookie-"

"Sorry to interfere, baby. But no, I wont let you. Jimin's parents opened up a boutique near your apartment. You can work there." Jungkook tried to crack a smile.

"No, that's-"

"Shh, please," He hugged Seokjin and kissed his temples, "It doesn't seem like it but im fuming mad, baby. I want to kill that bastard." Jungkook whispered in a deadly tone.

The way Jungkook's voice just got even deeper sent shiver's down the older spine and he almost yelped as he felt the younger's lips brushing against his earlobe.

"So please, baby. Stop me from going behind bars, hm?" Jungkook whispered.
