"I....." He hiccuped and his eyes again started welling up.

"Take your time...." I placed my hands on his. "Take deep breaths with me." He did as I said. "Let me bring you some water. Wait right here."

I ran towards the convenience store and brought a bottle of water for him.

He sipped on it and he was now finally calmed down and ready to tell me what happened but something behind the bushes caught my attention causing Jungkook to open his mouth to speak but immediately close after looking at me.

"What happened?" He asked looking to the direction where I was looking.

"Something's moving behind the bushes." I said, narrowing my eyes.

"It must be some stray dog." Jungkook said assuring me.

I hummed and apologized for distracting him and told him to say what he was going to tell me.

"So...um...Aera.....she......" He sighed. "I overheard her talking to some guy I assume, on the call." He took one sip from the bottle.

"Okay." I nodded my head and he continued.

"And she was talking about someone she loves." He closed his eyes, trying hard not to cry.

"Of course she must be talking about you." I smiled a little.

"No Lily....that's the problem. I clearly heard her mentioning Jimin hyung's name before." He looked at me with teary eyes while my eye brows knotted after hearing Jimin's name.

"Is she.......cheating on me?"

So he is drunk in love....

"Jungkook, I really don't know much about your relationship with her. I mean....I've known you both for how long? A month? 2 months at the least? I really don't know how strong your relationship is....."

Am I making him worry more?

Try to comfort him Lily and not hurt him more.

It actually is hurting me to see him like this.

I hate to see Jungkook in pain.

"But, I don't think she's cheating on you. Because who would cheat on someone like you? You're such a lovely person Jungkook. Aera is really lucky to have you as someone who loves her soo much. I believe she would never cheat on you. You won't give her reasons to cheat on you. Look at you, you are every girl's dream guy-"

"Lily......"

"Sorry." I went with the flow oh god.

I'm stupid.

I mentally hit my head and was now searching for right words to say to him.

"I think she's cheating on me Lily...." He said in a low voice.

"What makes you think that?"

"Since past few days, she's been ignoring me. She would find reasons to stay away from me. She's always on call whenever I come to meet her. She would always find excuses to not meet me and that makes me doubt that she's probably......cheating on me...."

"You should talk to her, Jungkook. Tell her, tell her everything that your heart is holding. Tell her what you're feeling and how her actions make you feel these days."

"I don't want to Lily.....I'm always the one, giving more in this relationship. Not that I care about receiving anything but, it has always been me that is soo scared to lose her....to lose this relationship we have."

I feel sooo sorry for him right now.

All I want to do is just punch the fuck out of Aera till she realises what she's doing and how much....its hurting the other person.

I couldn't stand anyone hurting Jungkook.

Because, when he's hurting, my heart aches.

"I'm sorry Jungkook....."

"You know what? Leave this topic here. It's better to just....end things with her if this continues to happen."

"Think thrice before taking any decision Jungkook. I don't want you to regret it later on."

"I won't....." He smiled for the first time after I came here.

"Jungkook....can I tell you something?"
