...

Walking through the streets of Seoul at 3am was a scary plight, one I would never get used to. Usually I'd have been picked up or would've headed home earlier but as of now...I was alone. Completely and utterly, alone.

Here I was, Kim Taeyeon, just an ordinary twenty-two year old woman, more like a girl though I've been told as with my baby face and my unfortunate height, I looked more like someone of age thirteen. I guess it wasn't a bad thing in the long run but right now? I struggled to get into clubs and bars...heck I even had to show my ID to rent a PG13 movie!

Getting back on topic, like I said before, I'm alone. I was dumped today, dumped by the girl I had loved since I was actually thirteen. God she was perfect - perfect face, perfect body...just perfect. I loved being with her but apparently the same couldn't be said for her.

"You're too safe" she said "You aren't enough for me" was another reason. To say my heart had been shattered was an understatement, my whole being was broken beyond repair probably unable to ever become whole again.

She was my everything but I was her nothing. So tonight I went to the club we visited frequently and drank...and drank...and drank. Yet still, I wasn't drunk. Blasted high tolerance, all I wanted to do was forget the pain for a while, the alcohol numbed it slightly but didn't rid me of it entirely. Only complete and utter drunkenness could do that.

But right now I was on my way home, the home she had stayed each night though refused to move in. I guess now I know why. I kicked a rock, trying hard to imagine it as her face but I couldn't do it...I could never hurt her regardless of what she had inflicted on my heart.

I continued my stroll and entered the gated park, a shortcut to my apartment which I took each time as I couldn't physically be bothered to walk around. Plus it was pretty, supplied with many kinds of flowers, the colours striking against the green bushes in which they grew from.

I felt the corners of my lips tug up into a sad smile, I remembered how I would pick a flower each day and present it to her a while back only for her to roll her eyes and tell me to stop. Thinking back...she never did like any presents from me, except for money or a gift card. She wasn't a gold digger though, as I had no gold for her to dig.

I worked as a bartender, something stable yet boring. I'm good at my job and many people come in just to see Kim Taeyeon, the pretty girl behind the bar who could throw bottles and glasses in the air and catch them effortlessly before pouring their drink. It's okay, the pay is decent enough to keep up a small apartment though she had kind of made a dent in my pocket from the amount of showers she had, the amount of electricity she used all while she had her own place...

I continued to walk until I came across the empty bench that I looked forward to sitting down on after the walk from the club to my place to usually catch my breath. Only this time it wasn't empty, on it sat a girl though I couldn't tell her age because she was curled up in a ball but what I could hear were soft cries and whimpers.

I didn't know what to do... Do I leave her? Do I sit down beside her? Do I ignore her? Do I help her?
My okay-ish people skills came in handy here as I sat down next to her, making sure my body was pressed into the bench arm making as much distance possible. If she didn't want to talk then she certainly wouldn't want to sit in close proximity to me. I took a small breath to prepare and then spoke.

"Are you alright?" I asked softly, my eyes growing wide when she jumped and turned her head towards me, her eyes full of fear. "Heyheyhey, its okay" I gave a smile to show her I meant no harm.

I watched silently as she looked me up and down, seemingly making sure I wasn't a threat. Once she was satisfied I could see she had relaxed a little, though she didn't take her eyes off me.

"Are you alright?" I asked again. Her widened eyes also relaxed a smidge when she heard what I was told often was a soft, velvety, rich voice. She bit her lip and then nodded her head once.

I wasn't convinced. It was freezing cold and she had on a simple t-shirt while I was all wrapped up in a warm coat and a fluffy jumper underneath yet I was still chilly. I noted her shivering and slowly removed my coat, her eyes never leaving my hands as if I was going to jump out and pull a knife on her. I reached out to her, the coat in hand and she looked at it like it was something from another planet, utter confusion was the expression on her face.

"You're cold" I stated, bringing my arm a little closer to her. I saw she leaned back a little so I stopped my movements. "I'm not going to hurt you"

I watched as she tentatively took out her hand and clenched her fingers around the coat though that's all she did, she didn't think to pull it from my grasp so I let it go with a smile. She placed it on her lap and I shook my head lightly.

"Put it on" I said, taking it back slowly before deciding to rest it across her shoulders. My fingers grazed her arm and she jumped so high that her reaction could've given me a heart attack. "Fuck" I exhaled, my hand over my chest. She looked terrified of me.

I stood up and kept my distance, nodding my head towards the bench so she could sit down again. She did. I inched forward, crouched down and again held out the coat.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to touch you, but please, you're cold and I wouldn't forgive myself if you caught pneumonia under my watch. Take it"

I saw tears in her eyes but she took the coat, her outstretched arm shaking from the cold air or nerves, maybe both and then she put it on properly.

"Thank you" I smiled though she looked confused at me yet again. Probably wondering why I said thank you to her for putting on my coat.
"Um...are you okay? I mean do you have somewhere to go?" I asked nervously, not wanting to sound like a serial killer asking where she lived and all. Her bowed head and sniff answered my question.
"Where do you usually go?" I asked only to have my heart drop when she pointed to the bench. Come to think of it, I had never ventured out at this time before...I had always left the club earlier than what I had today so it made sense why I wouldn't see her.

I took out my purse and grabbed all the notes I had before counting. There was enough there for a two night stay at one of the motels down the road.

"Here" I said, holding out the money. "Grab a room at the motel, if you go straight through the park, take the immediate right...keep walking, take the second left and you'll see it" I smiled.

She stood up suddenly, her eyes full of tears and shook her head. I asked why but she just shook her head again.

"Please, I can't leave you here, its freezing" I frowned

"Why?" She asked, her voice hoarse and rough...something you'd associate with a heavy cold or even flu which further told me she needed my help.

"Because I have a conscience? I'm sorry but you sound sick and if you won't go to the motel...then I can only offer you a place to stay at mine for the night"

She shook her head furiously at that suggestion. I asked her why and her answer kind of shocked me.

"I'm no one to you, you don't need to help me. You're very kind but I can't take either of those offers" she said, bowing her head yet again. Her voice...god it was so scratchy and it broke many times when she had spoken. I scanned her body and saw her baggy jeans were full of holes, bloody cuts showing through them.

"Fine. Well I'll stay here with you then" I said, going back to the bench, keeping my distance of course. I could sense her looking at me and I folded my arms, trying to keep warm but the winter months were coming and it was hard to contain my shivers.

"Please, why are you doing this? I don't deserve your kindness"

I turned to her and said "Everyone deserves kindness, nobody deserves to live how you are living right now. So either I stay here with you all night, you take my money or you come home with me." I gave her an ultimatum.
