"There's barely enough time to love in a lifetime, please don't give it all away to pain," his words were gentle, yet slightly pleading as his hand trailed down my cheek.
"But what if the pain has already consumed me?"

I ran faster than I ever had before as the images of the night replayed in my head over and over again. My emotions were in overdrive.
The smugness in Namjoon's face, how harsh his words were, how intimidating he was. I was terrified the moment he grabbed me. What did he mean by "Jin's true intentions"? What did he mean he knew everything about my past?
I knew where I was heading, I knew what I was about to do. I was about to finally speak my truth. I had been controlled all my life and now I had been pushed to my breaking point – For real this time.
If Namjoon truly knew everything, I wanted to take the power back - even if it meant telling someone insignificant.
I was wary of Namjoon, ever since the beginning and now I knew why. I wished I could have sensed the danger in some people sooner, but that's not how life works. I've always seen the best in people, always forgiven them and always given them a second chance. It's more than anyone did for me.
On top of everything, I had broken up with the man who I thought was the love of my life. Jungkook wasn't my boyfriend anymore... He wasn't anything to me anymore and the heartbreak was indescribable.
It was exhausting even breathing, my heels burnt, and my heart was pumping through my chest. My mind was racing, and I just couldn't get the image of Jungkook's face out of my head. My Kookie, standing there broken.
They say your life flashes before your eyes when you're about to die. Maybe it's the same with breakups because all I could think about was the moment I realised this was the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Flashback
"Stop it!" I squealed as Jungkook's arms wrapped around my waist from behind, picking me up and spinning me around in circles.
"Well stop teasing me then!" He laughed, tackling me down to the ground. I was a dizzy wreck.
We laid on the damp sand, staring up at the sky, our clothes dusty from the play-fight we'd just had. The sun was setting over the ripples of the water in front of us as I laid on Jungkook's chest... This was heaven on earth.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" I suddenly had the urge to ask, tracing patterns into the palm of his hand. We hadn't spoken about love yet, we hadn't been dating long enough to establish that kind of depth, but something was begging for me to ask that question.
I prepared for the worst when he didn't reply for a while, it was like he was pondering his answer, but when he did finally utter the array of perfectly formed words, it was all I could have asked for.
"I didn't, until I saw you," he said simply, turning his face and nestling his lips into my hair. I smiled at his honesty and how comfortable he sounded talking about it with me. "I don't think I realised it at the time, but I fell for you in the blink of an eye. You changed my life, Little Bird."
