Always You | JJK

December

Jungkook stares into his bathroom mirror and sees and feels nothing, absolutely nothing. He looks into his eyes and see nothing behind them. He tries to smile, but falls short. Does this have anything to do with the fact he told you he loves you but you completely misunderstood him? Yup, it probably has everything to do with that.

But Jungkook also feels like shit. He let his feelings become too overwhelming in the moment that he totally and completely forgot he has a girlfriend. So, he is almost glad that you most definitely thought he was just telling you he loves you like one normal friend to another instead of him confessing his deep and passionate feelings towards you. Yup, totally glad.

So, now he looks into the mirror and actually does see and feel something: Shame. Guilt.

And regret. Regret is written all over his face. Not regret because he told you he loves you, no. Regret that he didn't tell you 4 years ago how he feels. Even if you didn't feel the same he thinks he should have had the courage, instead he slept with you like a fucking idiot. But that is something he can't get himself to regret at all...he just can't regret that amazing night he shared with you.

"Bro! You have been in there for like ever dude, I gotta take a piss!" Jungkook hears Nick from the other side of the door, his insistent banging going completely ignored by Jungkook.

"Seriously man, I will pee in the fucking sink!" Nick threatens and Jungkook rolls his eyes.

"Yeah, yeah man, I'm coming." He looks into the mirror one last time before taking one deep breath and turning towards the bathroom door.

"Bathroom's all yours." Jungkook says as he opens the door with Nick already pushing past him.

"Fucking finally!" Nick doesn't even bother to shut the door behind him as he quickly approaches the toilet to release himself.

Jungkook walks into his room and pulls out his phone as he sits on the edge of his bed. He goes through his message threads, his fingers hovering over your name when he gets to you.

It's been a few weeks since the trip to your parent's house. He had such an amazing time. That Saturday your mom cooked one of her famous homemade meals...something Jungkook hasn't really had in years. Your dad would casually slip in the word 'son' in conversation, making Jungkook's heart glow. You laughed and talked and cried and just looked so at home the entire time, like all your worries were vanishing.

He knows you're struggling with what to do...but going abroad? Were you serious? You mentioned it to your parents too while there visiting and they loved the idea...making Jungkook's heart sink. They just encouraged you more while you were there...telling you it was such a fun, and great idea and that it totally suits you. This only made you feel more motivated...Jungkook could see that.

Jungkook wants nothing but the best for you...he just wants you to be happy. Your happiness is his happiness but how could he survive if you left? How could he go a day without seeing you? Or worse...a week? A month? A whole fucking year? He went three months without you and he spiraled pretty bad.

Jungkook continues to sit here, his fingers right over your name and he clicks it.
