GUILTY OR INNOCENT

Dinner

Jungkook hadn't dealt with the loss of losing someone. He doesn't know how to feel or how to react. It's all new to him. Unlike you, who lost your father when you were 15.

Even though you've dealt with a pain like this, you still aren't dealing with this loss well. You can't even imagine what Jungkook must be going through.

You just want him to know that even though he can't express how he's feeling, he shouldn't suppress his emotions the way he is now.

You want him to know that in this hard time, you and the boys are here for him.

He can find comfort in us.

"Y/n you did a good job today." Jin mutters.

Did I?

"Yes, you were very brave." Yoongi agrees.

"I don't know how I'll react on my day of trail. It must be stressful." Tae says.

"It was at first, but whenever I got nervous I would just look at y'all and it made me feel better." You say wiping tears off your face.

"Thank you all for being here today. I couldn't deal with this alone."

"Always." Hobi assures you. His smile calms you. He has healing powers."Okay y/n, let's go home. Jin hyung is cooking for us today. Don't you dare deny."

"Yes, I've been missing Jin's cooked food."

Your phone rings, it's your mom.
"Hello, mom."

You excuse yourself to talk to her.

"Okay bye mom, be safe and call me when you reach home."

"Where is your mom going? Won't she be joining us?" Jimin asks.

"No, she has to get back to work. I've asked Sejin sir to arrange a driver for her."

"I just wanted your mom to taste my food." Jin pouts.

"Me too." you smile.

You were now in the van with the boys.
Their dormitory is awfully far from the court. Being tired, you dirft off to sleep.

When you wake up, the Sun is already setting, you were in their guest bedroom. It's nothing new, everytime you drift off to sleep one of them carries you to the guest bedroom.

You barely open your eyes.
"Y/n you're awake?"
It's Jungkook.

"Hmm. What time is it?"
You reach out for your phone.
It's 7:00 pm.

"Wow, I've been sleeping for four hours."

That's the longest you have slept in a few days.

You stand up heading to go outside where the other boys are cooking.

Their voices are clearly audible. Their giggles are somehow soothing to your ears.

You've been missing this.

"Y/n..." Jungkook stops you.

You don't reply, you just look at him.

"I know that I'm being a jerk to you. I'm sorry that I haven't contacted you. It's just-"

"It's okay, I understand. We can talk about it whenever you are ready to." You smile at him.

He doesn't say anything, he just smiles.

You head out. The air smells delicious. The air smells like...

"Muffins!!" You exclaim in joy. You love muffins and when Jin is baking them it's just, chef's kiss.

"Dinner's ready, let's eat!"

You all sit down and for the first time you didn't feel like swallowing rocks. The smiling faces of the boys brings tears to your eyes. They look happy.

They're not though.

Everyone's hurting but everyone is smiling for each other.

You all finish the dinner.

"Okay, I better leave. It's getting late. Good night guys." You say hugging everyone as you leave.

"Wait, I'll drive you home" Jungkook says, scratching his head.

"Okay, sure!" A little alone time with him could actually help sort things out.

The car ride was awkward and silent. Definitely not helping sort things out. But you don't want to make him feel pressurised.

You pull out your phone. You notice that someone, probably a reporter posted the minutes of the Trial. You started reading it, the article was somehow twisted to make you look more like the culprit.

Wow!

You started reading the comments. There were a lot of people hating on you. Few were making weird theories. Your face drops.

Jungkook notices it and snatches the phone off your hand.

"Whatever you're reading, don't. It's clearly making you upset."

"No, it's not. I'm just trying to read those theories." You whine.

"Don't." a smile appears on his face.

You finally reach home.

"Thank you, Jungkook. Good night!"

"Good night, y/n. Bye!"

The home feels lonely. Now that your mom isn't home.

You peek through the window and see that Jungkook is still waiting.

You call his phone.

"Hello? Jungkook? Are you ok? Why are you still here?"

"Yeah...um something is wrong with my car. It just won't start."

"Um, why don't you come up to my home and uh...I'll call for a mechanic or something."

"I already asked for a mechanic and since it's late there are no mechanics available."

"Then just spend the night here-"

A/n:

This chapter seems a bit underwhelming, but it's because a lot is happening in the next few chapters. Grab your tissues and wait for me to update my next chapter.
