Josie's POV

The bed jolted and my eyes opened, waking me from my sleep. But it wasn't Jungkook that had done this, it was me. I felt him reach over and his hand went to the top of my head to pat it, comforting me. It was now I realized we had switched places. That he felt like he had to sleep with me so I would feel okay.

Jungkook did make me feel better. He had been making me dinner for the past few nights since the party, distracting me when I was trying to work on my assignments as well as walking to and from the dance studio with me.

It had been a few days since the party where everything went down, where I physically felt sick over something that happened only emotionally. I had apologized to Stella as well as Jimin, and this morning before school him and I were going to talk to Kai.

I climbed out of the bed even though it was a little early, but I knew I was going to take the worlds longest shower. Classes and school was normal, Taehyung moved his seat in our class to be the farthest from me that he could. It must be mutual wanting to be completely done with each other. If he was any other person, even Yoongi, I would feel so terrible about the things I said. But knowing it was Taehyung I didn't seem to feel any type of way.

I didn't see him around and there was no party at Jimin's house that I planned on going to, it will probably be like that until I graduate. These past few nights were spent watching movies or dancing or just calling my brothers. JP and Joice were top of their class currently and Jude was coming around more often now because he was trying to learn to how to cook from our parents.

I was asked about Taehyung the last time I talked to Jude, and was told that this was just making college extra hard after telling what had happened minus a few details. "You've been in love before. Shouldn't you know how this goes?"

"I don't think I have.. There was something different about that..." I paused. "I'm also not in love with Taehyung for the record."

Jude laughed. "Well if you ask Jasper, he would say to get over somebody you have to get under somebody else."

That was advice, not good nor bad. I could care less about getting wrapped up in drama like that again, for now it was handling the drama of my dance situation. One I shouldn't even be in if I wasn't so reckless with my decisions.

When I finally got out of the shower I could hear rock music playing downstairs, alerting me that Jungkook was awake and already working on breakfast for us.

Once I got downstairs I grabbed his phone to turn the music down and then leaned my back against the counter near him. My hair was still up in my towel but I was wearing a nice outfit for this meeting. "I'm so glad I have a personal chef."

"I need a raise." He joked back, but once he looked at what I was wearing he was confused. "Are you not dancing for your spot back today?"

I laughed and broke off a piece of pancake he had finished and set on a plate. "No, I'm just talking to Kai about it all today. Jimin's going so I hope that emotional support will help."

"I thought you and Jimin were in a weird place because of the party."

I peeled off the counter and went to get us plates and cups, helping the set up for us to eat breakfast...except only in the living room. "No, we had a long talk about it after class. I was just telling him how wild I've been recently, that dance really does mean everything to me-"

"Yeah if only he knew the Jo in Cali." Jungkook cut me off, just wanting to add to the story.

"I danced there because I was trying to get here."
