Chapter 4

The man twisted the facts. He said that it was Jean who insisted on asking to have sex with the man. Of course, Jean denied it because the case wasn't like that

But what did Jean get? A slap and a strong pull on her hair by her stepmother. 

Jean swore to her mother that the man was lying. That man was the one who wanted to rape her. 

However, Jean's stepmother believed the man's words more. Because their position showed that Jean wanted to rape the man as she was on top of him. 

"What an ungrateful daughter! I raised you but this is your reply?!?" Jean's stepmother named Merisa was furious. 

"I swear mom, it's not like that. He was the one who wanted to rape me." Jean cried, holding her mother's feet, begging her to believe her words. 

Not sympathy that Merisa gave but rather kicked and pulled Jean to her feet. Moreover, Merisa walked while pulling Jean's hair. 

"I'm fed up with you and your Daddy. If only I didn't need the money, I'll make sure I kick you out of here." Merisa pulled Jean out of the house. 

Merisa came back to Jean and choked her. 

"You, little bitch! Get out of here and never come back until you become useful to me. I wanted to kill you. No wonder your mother…" 

Jean's stepmother's lover separated them.

"Never mind Mer, let her go. You can kill her. And that will be a big problem for us. Besides, she has not gone far with me. We better go back inside, continue with something fun again." The man whispered sensually to Merisa and kissed her lobe. 

Merisa turned to face the man and kissed his lips in front of Jean. "As you wish, honey." She spoke softly to the man and turned harsh on Jean. 

"What else do you want? Go away before I flush you with hard water so that your face is damaged."

Jean then ran to find shelter. And Chanyeol's house was the place that she thought was the safest and could spill everything she experienced this morning.

Luckily, the sun still hasn't risen, so that people were still asleep, not seeing Jean running while shedding tears so profusely. 

Chanyeol, who was throwing trash in front of his house, saw Jean was running towards him. He was confused as to why Jean was doing so.

Jean immediately hugged Chanyeol, shedding all her tears on Chanyeol's chest because Jean's height was the same as Chanyeol's chest. 

"Chan." Jean was crying uncontrollably. 

"What's the matter with you, Jean?" Chanyeol asked in a panic, seeing Jean crying. 

Jean didn't answer. It's still too difficult to explain. 

"Is it your mother again?" Chanyeol asked again, guessing. 

Jean still didn't answer. 

"Come in first, it's not nice for the neighbors to see." Chanyeol brought Jean into his house. 

Chanyeol was only with his mother at his house. His older sister, Park Yoora, was on a honeymoon with her husband because they recently married. 

"Jean?" Chanyeol's mother came to see Jean crying. 

"What's wrong?" Chanyeol's mother gently asked, worried to see her. 

Jean immediately rushed to hug Chanyeol's mother. She already thought of her friend's mother as her own. 

Her gentle and affectionate attitude made Jean feel a little filled with the real mother figure in her life. 

Jean also told all that happened to her. Nothing was left. Chanyeol's mother had known from the start how Jean's stepmother behaved. 

Chanyeol clenched his fists furiously. He was about to meet the man who wanted to rape Jean. But Jean stopped him. She didn't want it to be worse if Chanyeol walked over to the man. 

Chanyeol's mother hugged Jean tightly, hoping to calm her down a little. She didn't think that Merisa would really be a bad mother for Jean. 

"Now you should rest first in Yoora's room. Let Chan take you." Chanyeol's mother told Jean to rest in her eldest daughter's room. 

"Chan, take Jean to Yoora's room." Chanyeol's mother ordered. 

Chanyeol nodded. He helped Jean because her legs were limp. 

Chanyeol sat Jean on Yoora's queen size bed. 

"I'll make warm milk for you." 

Chanyeol was about to go to the kitchen to make warm drinks for Jean but Jean didn't let him go. 

"I-I'm afraid, Chan." There was a clear look of fear on Jean's face. 

Chanyeol sat beside Jean and hugged her tightly to calm her down. 

"Shhh... I'm here. Don't be afraid." Chanyeol patted Jean's back to calm her down. 

"I hate myself, Chan. I even disgust myself. He keeps following me." Jean scratched her wrist where the man touched her, then bit her lip until it drained blood. 

Chanyeol immediately stopped Jean. 

"Look at me, Je." 

"It smells sticky, Chan." Jean jabbed the skin of her right wrist with her nails. 

"Je." Chanyeol stomped Jean's shoulder to wake up. 

Jean blankly looked at Chanyeol's face. 

"Where did he touch you?" Chanyeol asked. 

Jean didn't answer. Chanyeol took Jean's hands. 

"Did he touch you here?" Chanyeol asked. 

Jean nodded weakly. 

"I'm going to get rid of that bastard's body odor."

Chanyeol brought his lips closer to Jean's wrist. He then kissed it. Not just kissing, Chanyeol played his tongue against Jean's wrist. 

Jean wanted to take her hand back, but Chanyeol immediately held her back. 

Without a word being spoken, Chanyeol took another sip, playing his tongue against Jean's wrist, as if he was cleaning the man's beaks with his actions.

Jean was silent. There was no resistance from her.

Chanyeol ended kissing every inch of Jean's wrist. 

"Where else did he touch you?" Chanyeol asked. 

Jean didn't answer, but Chanyeol could clearly see Jean biting her lip. 

"Did he do it here?" Chanyeol asked. 

Jean didn't answer. 

"Je, answer." 

Jean nodded. Chanyeol was clenched to feel it. 

Without waiting for Jean's approval, Chanyeol crushed and sucked Jean's lips, hoping that Jean would forget what that man did to her and replace it with a sweet kiss from him. 

Jean closed her eyes tightly. She was angry and wanted to kill at this time. Let Chanyeol do whatever it took to her. 

The kiss lasted quite a long time until both of them had run out of breath. Chanyeol tried as much as possible to hold something from within himself. Chan wanted to take care of Jean, not to ruin her. 

"Go to sleep. I'll be beside you," Said Chanyeol. 

Jean obeyed Chanyeol's words. She laid down and closed her eyes. Chanyeol also laid down next to Jean. He gave his right hand for Jean's bearing and used his left hand to stroke her hair. 

"Stay like this and don't change." Said Chanyeol, talking to Jean, who was already asleep. He then kissed Jean's forehead before he also fell asleep by hugging her body.
