Jungkook's POV
I shrugged seeing that Jimin won’t be replying anytime soon.
So, I walked out of the house grabbing the list and money, bidding my mom goodbye.
As usual I plugged in my earphones and started walking.
Listening to music while walking and stargazing in the park at night, are the two most favourite things I always love to do but barely do.
Nothing can ever beat the feeling of these and the inner peace it gives me.
I scroll through my playlist hastily while I’m still standing outside my house so I can start walking.
Finally, I got one for the mood,
It’s you by Ali Gatie.


I plug in my earphones and blast it on full volume.

It's you
It's always you
If I'm ever gonna fall in love
I know it's gonna be you.
It's you
It's always you
Met a lot of people
But nobody feels like you.
So please don't break my heart
Don't tear me apart
I know how it starts
Trust me I've been broken before
Don't break me again
I am delicate
Please don't break my heart
Trust me I've been broken before
I've been broken, yeah
I know how it feels
To be open
And then find out your love isn't real.
I'm still hurting, yeah
I'm hurting inside
I'm so scared to fall in love
But if it's you then I'll try.
No, I'm not the best at choosing lovers
We both know my past speaks for itself
If you don't think that we're right for each other
Then please don't let history repeat itself.
'Cause I want you
I want you
There's nothing else I want.
And you're the only thing I want.

I played the song on repeat, head filled with thoughts about Jimin.

Should I apologize to him? Or not?

I entered the store and started buying the items on the list.
After I was done, I paid the bill and decided to go to the park.
I mean being late for an extra 15 minutes even though I’m grounded won’t do any harm yeah?

I grabbed all the stuff and started walking around.
But right before I reached the park, I felt like I saw a familiar figure standing in the dark, back faced towards me, slowly leant against the wall.

I quietly tiptoed towards the person, but I ended up stamping on a leaf and it made a crunch sound, making the person swiftly turn around.
Amazing.

I got embarrassed because I didn’t want the person to think I was stalking them or that I was some sort of a creep.

But then I saw who it was, a wave of relief washing over me seeing that it was only taehyung. And I finally let out my breath which I was holding.

But his face held a shocked expression.

“What are you doing here, Jungkook?”, he asked, his tone coming across like he wasn’t pleased to see me. 

Then I saw he had his hand behind him and a wave of smoke coming from behind.

Taehyung...? Taehyung’s smoking?

“Tae... what are you hiding behind? Show me your hand?”, I asked him cause I didn’t want to jump into conclusions. I kept telling myself he’s not smoking. No, he wouldn’t do that to me.

“Jungkook... its not what you think it is...” he said, looking down at his feet.

That did it for me. I knew it even if I didn’t accept it. He was fucking smoking.

I roughly pulled him towards me by grabbing his collar.
“How the fuck could you do this to me Tae? Out of everyone you had to do this?”, I shouted.

He looked everywhere but at me, this only fuelled me up more, I let go of him, but then the next second I threw a strong punch across his face making him stumble back as he held his face in pain.

“What the fuck Jungkook?”, he yelled as he held his now bruised face.

“Yeah, FUCK YOU TAE “, I said and started running slowly back home.

Unknowingly wiping the tears that were streaming down my face as all my past memories came back.

Why would Tae smoke? I hated people who smoked or were alcoholic cause my father got cancer when I was a kid and I was left heartbroken without my loving father. Sure, my mother took care of me but life isn’t the same when someone you loved dearly and always looked up to as your role model leaves the world.

I didn’t see any reason for my father to drink or smoke, he lost his life all for nothing?
Since then, I hate people who do these and only Taehyung knew about it.

And seeing my best friend out of all people do it, broke my trust. And brought back memories I hated and those that I always managed to keep buried deep away.

All I knew was that I never wanted to see him again. Ever.

I ran inside my house leaving the bags in the doorway and ran straight to my room.

I wanted to talk to Jimin.

But he was mad at me.

I started drowning myself in my own deep thoughts as my phone went on and vibrated.
I sat up seeing Jin Hyung’s message.


                          WWH🥵

WWHKooks, don’t forget tomorrow’s party at Namjoon’s house, okay?? See ya at 7. And who are you coming with?


Fuck! The party! It’s tomorrow, I didn’t even ask mom yet.

Wow. Can this day literally get any better?



                               WWH 🥵

                                  Will there be Booze? : JK
WWH: I thought you weren’t a fan of drinking?
                          Yeah, I changed my mind: JK.
WWH: Sure, whatever suits you. But no more than 4 glasses. I’m keeping my eyes on you. 👀
                          Yeah, yea whatever. I just 
                           need the booze                   : JK
WWH: You okay koo? You don’t sound like yourself.

I closed my phone and laid down on my bed again, staring at the blank ceiling.

And then I realized if I needed to drink my problems away tomorrow, I needed to ask my mom.

I go back down and saw my mom checking if I bought all the stuff, deeply engrossed in the task.

I walked over to her and greeted her, “Hey mom “

“Yeah? What do you want?”, she asked still not looking up at me.

“Uhm so you know our first set of exams are over, and we have leave for like 10 days.”

“Aha. So? Go and study.” She said.

Wow. I mean.

“I will, mom but there is this party tomorrow at Jin Hyung’s friend’s house and I really wanted to go. We haven’t hanged out in a long time. Please?”

“Jin will be there? “, obviously, she started her questionnaire.

“yeah"

“Yoongi?”

“Yeah mom “

“Tae?”

“Uh yeah”, I said and can’t help but feel a pang of sadness hit my heart, I remembered how tae had agreed to convince my mom and how we were gonna go together. But now I’ll probably be going with Jin or yoongi. And I’m not even sure if taehyung was gonna come anymore.

“Then who are you gonna go with? She asks the question I’ve been dreading for her to ask as she interrupted my thoughts.

“Jin.” I replied and made a mental note to text him about it.

“Hmm. Okay, you can go. But no drugs, nothing sexual, no smoking or drinking. And I know I don’t need to tell this to someone, especially you. You know how it goes, don’t be like your father. Now eat dinner and go sleep.”


3Rd Person POV


Jungkook nods at her and started eating the noodles she had cooked, slowly twirling the fork in his plate every now and then. Which obviously didn’t go unnoticed by his mom. As much as she wanted to ask what happened, she decided against it, thinking it was probably because she mentioned his father. 

Jungkook quietly finishes his food and goes back up to his room. And checks his phone to see if Jimin had send him any texts, only to see there were none. He decided to text Jin to pick him up.

                             WWH 🥵


              Hey Hyung, Can you pick me up     
                          tomorrow                        : JK

WWH: Wow, such a disrespectful brat. How dare you not reply to my text and then decide to text me whenever you want.
But I’ll pick you up at 6. 💫Get Ready💫

                    Hehe, I’m sorry Hyung. I’ll make it up to you. 6, right? Also, Hyung what should I wear? I’m not sure if I have any party outfits... 😐                                       : JK.
WWH: Aishh, this kid. I’ll come at 5 and pick you up, you can wear my clothes. We’ll get ready from here. Okay?
I mean you have 💅🏽The worldwide handsome 💅🏽 right here.
                 Thanks, Hyung. I owe you one: JK.
WWH: Actually, you owe me 2.
                                       Gooodnightttttttt
                         Seee yaaa tmrwwwwww
                                             Byeeeeeeeeee : JK
