The car is stopped in the middle of the deserted road. It's nine o'clock at night. Yoongi failed to start the car despite turning the key three or four times. Most likely, the tire is punctured. His mood has deteriorated. He stopped even though he was going to hit his hand in anger.

Your are sleeping on the seat next to him. The sound will wake you up. A gust of cold wind blows your silky black hair again and again.

After being stuck in heavy traffic for almost an hour, he turned the car around and came on the opposite road. There is no traffic on this side. But there are no people either. Quiet environment. However, if they sat in the traffic, they would not have returned home today. Even after coming here, there were obstacles. The tire got punctured in the middle.
Then you fell asleep while sitting in the traffic. He didn't wake you up.

After looking at the time on the clock, he took a short breath and unfastened his seatbelt. When he opened the door to go out, you said in a sleepy voice,
"Where are you going?"

He looked at you. He stopped for a while and patted your head once and said in a soft voice,
"You sleep."

You blinked at yoongi's words. Looking around, you shook his head and held his wrist and said,
"I'll sleep and you'll leave me here alone?"

"Are you crazy, y/n? The tire is punctured. I need to change the tire. That's why I'm going. Why should I leave you?" Yoongi said in a hoarse voice.

His words made you feel like a fool. You didn't understand what you said in your sleep.
"Oh well, I thought.."

"You don't need to think about anything, sleep quietly. I'm coming." You let go of his hand while looking at his serious face. You put your hair behind your ears and straightened the hem of your saree. He smiled faintly and closed the car door.

After taking out the spare tire and some equipment from the back, he knelt down on the road and realized that you are standing next to him. He did not look up, but turned and opened the tier and asked,
"Why did you come down? Didn't I tell you to sleep?"

"I can't sleep now." You put your one hand on his shoulder and leaned a little. Yoongi asked in a doubtful voice as your loose hair fell on his cheeks.
"What are you trying to see?"

You observed more closely and said in a sad voice,
"You can do that? Won't it be difficult? You should have called a mechanic."

"Why are you talking like a fool, y/nie? Where can I get a mechanic here? And it's nothing like that. It will be done in ten to twenty minutes. Don't worry."

You stood up straight, removing your hands from his shoulders. His phone with the flashlight on his shoulder is failing down again and again. He is having difficulty seeing in the dark. He can't pick up the phone again and again because his hands are dirty. As soon as the irritating word "Damn" came out of his mouth, you stood close to him while holding the phone in your hand, he laughed silently tilting his head down.

He knows that you can't bear to see him suffering. But he never says anything.
Instantly, he straightened his head and extended his left hand towards you and said,
"Remove my watch y/nie. It is getting dirty."

You quietly placed the phone on the car and took his hand on your one hand and opened the watch with the other hand. Taking it in your hand, you got up again holding the phone and looking at the clock you panicked,
"it's half past nine."

"I called uncle to inform him that we will be a little late to return. No problem. Don't shout."

For some time, everything is silent. There is no one here. In the middle, one or two vehicles are passing by. The sound of trees moving from behind the bushes freezes you. You gulped, standing around his body and gently placing your hand on his shoulder, an dog came out of the bush and barked. Almost digging you nails on his shoulder, you screamed,

The dog itself is scared of your screams. It ran a few steps away and stood looking at you and started wagging its tail continuously. Yoongi gasped. After putting on the tire, he stood up, wiped his dirty hands in his white kurta, took your hand off his shoulder, took your hand in his, and said,
"You scared the dog by your scream. What did he do to you? Stupid."

You did not answer. After looking at him for a while, the dog left, yoongi took a small breath, put the broken tire and other things in the back, and when he came back, he saw you sitting on the front of the car with your legs hanging. Magical pair of eyes may be busy counting the stars in the dark sky. There is no smile on your lips. There is no lively expression on you face. As soon as the lifeless and bored face comes into view, yoongi's heart twitched. He slowly came forward and grabbed your elbow and said calmly,
"Come down y/nie, it's night.. we have to go back home."

You didn't come down. Rather, you suddenly hugged him with both hands and rested your head on his chest. He was surprised as well. He breathing stopped a little more as your warm breath penetrated the thin clothes of his and spread on his chest. After being silent for a while, he took control of himself and placed one hand on your cheek and the other behind your head and asked in a soft voice,
"What happened?"

"I doesn't feel good." You replied in a lifeless voice.

Looking at your face, the impression of sadness is clearly visible on your face. Eyes are closed. He lowered his voice a little more. He said,
"Are you upset?"

You remained silent for a long time. Then you tightly held the clothe on his back with both hands and said in a sad voice,
"That man touched me badly."

By this time yoongi understood the matter. The reason of your sadness became clear to him. Although he pulled you as soon as he saw you, you are no longer a child who does not know the difference between good and bad.

That's why you rested your head on his chest. Surely you knew that yoongi would never touch you badly. From that trust, there was no fear in you now.

Yoongi immediately tightened his hold on you, closed his eyes and said in a serious voice,
"Why didn't you slapped him?"

"He is Jihye's brother-in-law. I-"

Yoongi snatched the words from your mouth. He said in a scolding tone,
"Whoever he is y/n. Nothing is bigger than your self-respect."

You sobbed without replying. He scolded again.
"Why are you crying now? You didn't say a word then."

Yoongi's scolding made you cry, made you more sad. This time, yoongi relaxed a little. In a calm voice he patted his hand on your head and said,

"If you ever feel bad about me in any way or you are uncomfortable with my touch or feel that I am treating you badly then don't hesitate to slap me too. Basically, whoever it is, take a stand for yourself and show them just how high your honor is. Learn to understand your own importance. There is nothing higher than self-respect for a girl."

You smiled as he wiped your tears with his hand. Even if he wanted to let go, you didn't let go. Instead, you held his waist tightly and rested your head on his chest in complete peace.
