I pack back my stuff as my week's holiday sadly ends. My whole week was so cheerful. It is like returning back was the best decision, but I missed Jungkook as well. He went to Busan and got busy with his family. Every time we called, someone would come and drag him away. He didn't go back for two years, and it was understandable. We didn't reach out to each other for three days, but we just texted casually, seeing if the other one was alive or not.

"Mom, I'm done," I walk down the staircase with my small luggage. My dad hugs me before I sit for breakfast. "I suddenly don't wanna go back. I will miss you two and this food so much," My parents chuckle while my mother caresses the back of my head fondly.

"We will too, honey," I quickly finish my breakfast because Taehyung will be coming here any moment. We decided to go back together. So that I don't get lost in Seoul. "By the way, your friend, Taehyung. What is he studying?" My dad inquires out of nowhere.

I try to recall his faculty, but I am unsure what he is particularly studying. "I don't exactly remember it, but he has arts," I simply reply after gulping the chewed food. My dad just nods suspiciously, "And he is not my boyfriend. He is just a boy space friend. That space is friend zone space," I clarify.

I know my dad suspects us to be dating, but we aren't. He also worried because of Taehyung's intimidating physique. He looks like a thug to my dad. I also felt the same when I first saw them, but none of them are like that... Sometimes. "No, I didn't say you two are," I hum and nod sarcastically. We change the topic until the doorbell rings.

I walk to the door and open it to see Taehyung. He takes my luggage after greeting my parents. "Mom, Dad, I will be leaving. I will call you as soon as I reach, and don't worry, I have Taehyung with me, so I will be safe," I turn to my dad while saying the attached sentence.

"Okay, be safe anyways," My dad says while eyeing Taehyung's back, who is busy stuffing my luggage into the car. I let out a soft laugh before hugging my dad. "I will miss you," He says, which makes me melt inside and almost break down in his warm embrace.

"Me too," I hug my mom tightly. "I will be back soon, okay?" I say, and they nod. I finally get departed from my loving parents. "Gosh, it is so hard to leave parents behind. I just want to go back," I sniff as I am on the verge of crying. Taehyung chuckles, seeing my devastated self.

"Happens," We laugh as he finishes.

"Back to the busy life." Taehyung lets out with a heavy sigh.

"More like "party" one," I mock him using my fingers to especially quote the word party. He just rolls his eyes in annoyance, making me chuckle. We drive to the dormitory first. "Thanks, Taehyung, bye," I walk into the dormitory, departing ways with him. I walk into my room and quickly call my father, telling him I am safe and reached safely. We couldn't talk more since he was busy and I didn't want to disturb him. The room is empty and a little bit dusty. The girls are with their families, so I need to clean the dorm room myself.

It is tiring to clean a big room alone, but I still went on and did the whole room. While unpacking my luggage, my mind goes to Jungkook. He should be back too. The week had ended, and he told me that he would be back before me. I pick up my phone and call him. After a few rings, he picks up the call.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

Jungkook says in his tiring voice, sounding out of energy.

"You back? And why do you sound so worn out?"

"My friends drained every single bit of energy from me, and now I am lying on the bed lifeless. You back?"

"Yeah, just finished cleaning and unpacking,"

He hums. I didn't hear anything more from him.

"Jeon?"

I call him, and he hums again.

"I'm hanging up."

He hums again as I end the call with a sigh. Jungkook seems really out of energy. I take my purse and decide to go to his place. I walk to his home, and the lights in his room are on. I ring the bell and wait until the door gets opened by Yoongi, "Ray? Jungkook is upstairs," He moves aside, letting me go. I thank him and walk directly to Jungkook's room. I hear him talking on the phone with someone in a harsh tone.

"Call me one more time, and I will not hesitate to kill you," I raise my fist for knocking, but my action gets halted by his voice again. "Can you stop? Who the fuck said that? Can't you see Ray? If no, then get your eyes checked," My fist gets taken back, and I decided to listen. " Listen, I don't give a fuck. You can die or do whatever you want, just don't call me or text me," I knock before going in, but as soon as I walk into the room, Jungkook throws his phone against the wall, taking me by surprise.

"Jungkook," I say softly, and he turns to me with an angry and annoyed expression.

"What are you doing here? Just go away, Ray," He snaps at me, making me flinch by his new side. He never became so loud and violent to me ever before when we met, he was undoubtedly a jerk, but he never raised his voice like this. I am somewhat taken back and in shock. I don't say anything and leave him alone so that he may calm down. But I also went because I didn't want him to see me cry. I'm kind of sensitive to screaming. "Shit, Ray."

I hear him yelling, but my mind is in charge of me. I walk out of the house without sparing him a second. As I walk out, Jungkook twirls my body. I get collided with his chest, and he wraps his arm around me. "Jeon?" I whisper, almost cracking my voice.

"Sorry, Ray. I am so sorry. I was a little messed up before you came," He says, and I hum while understanding. "I was tired, and a phone made me mad. Then suddenly you came in, so I took out my frustration like that," He holds my cheeks in his big hand, gazing down into my eyes.

"Don't be, I am not mad. I just left for you to be alone and calm down," I smile, placing my small ones above Jungkook's. I rub my thumbs on the back of his hands. He pulls me closer and kisses my forehead. "Go in and rest," I try to push him in the house, but he just holds my hand and drags me in with him.

"Let's cuddle. I will have a night of better sleep," He pulls me in a hug. I take off my shoes and place the purse on the nightstand. Jungkook keeps his arm under my head. His left arm is around my waist and legs beneath mine. "This feels better than being alone," I chuckle at his sentence. "I have something to show you."

He lifts his left arm up and pulls his sleeves up. He has a new tattoo on his forearm. "Je t'aime Ray. Did I say it correctly?" He nods, and I smile. "What does it mean? Also, 210325?"

"210325, the day we kissed even after hating each other. Je t'aime Ray means I love you, Ray in French. The most romantic language." I turn to Jungkook with wide eyes. "What happened?"

"Jeon..." Sometimes, his actions make me feel like our future is very near and together. I hug him tightly and put my head on his chest. "I love you."
