3 AM | Jungkook

"Yejin?"

I pushed the apartment door.

Everything was in the dark and the bed was empty.

I felt my heart drop in my chest.

Where is she?

I walked inside. My mind was already racing for other places she could be at.

But there she was.

"Yej-"

Sound asleep on the couch.

As usual, her little fists were tuck right below her chin. She was breathing slowly, her face completely relaxed.

Air rushed through my lungs.

She's okay.

I took in a long breath, finally feeling at ease.

That's why she isn't answering her phone.

The room was warm and humid, just like any other Seoul summer night. There was a cup of microwaved noodles on the coffee table, untouched, as it seemed.

I sat down on the floor next to her.

Yejin...

What did you do to me, Yejin?

I should have been celebrating with Jimin and the staff. Or at least, I should have been resting on my first night off in so long.

Instead, I was here.

Running after her, worrying about her, wondering if we'll ever be in a place of peace with each other.

Why am I like that with you? I thought, pushing a strand of hair from her neck.

My fingers caressed that soft spot between her ear and her jaw, my eyes embracing how beautiful she looked.

I just want you to be happy, Yejin.

That was the only thing I wanted.

I thought I saw her eyelids move. I slowly removed my hand, not wanting to wake her up.

At that moment, her eyes opened.

Her beautiful crescent moons.

She looked surprised for a second, her dark pupils widening on me.

I held my breath, observing her as she was observing me.

She blinked.

"I'm sorry."
