Chapter #44

Author's PoV :

"Don't call me that." - Jungkook.

~~~~~~~~

"Irene, are you seeing this?" 

Irene laughed, nodding her head towards Jungkook who was pointing at the crystal clear water under his feet with the biggest grin ever. She adjusted her hat as she was sitting on a wooden swing, her feet dangling in the water as well.

"I know, right? I can't believe I never thought about visiting this place" Irene said, taking a deep breath. "Yeah, this place is just amazing!" Jungkook came running towards her, sitting beside her on the swing.

They swung together, they laughed together, and they smiled together. Hoseok had insisted to take Jungkook and Irene alongside him and Momo to Maldives, and Irene and Jungkook seemed to enjoy a lot here.

Jungkook didn't know if he was just pretending to be happy or not, because he liked it anyway. After that last breakdown in his room, he had admitted his defeat and decided to let go. Jungkook looked at the bright side of life and told himself that there were many other girls in the world for him.

For instance, Irene.

"Kookie, can you please go and grab some juice for us?" Irene turned to face him. "I was just gonna ask you that, gimme a minute" Jungkook flashed her a smile before hopping off the swing and walking away.

Irene chuckled to herself; she found Jungkook very cute and was glad that she had gotten a two week vacation just to come here with him. Her mind went back to the day Jungkook had invited her to come along, he had been so flustered and Irene had noticed.

The best part of this vacation was that the four of them - meaning Hoseok, Momo, Jungkook, and Irene - gathered around a bonfire every night and did the most common thing any other person would do. And that thing was singing songs to each other.

Jungkook was a sweetheart, and there was no doubt in that. He had sung 'At my worst' specially for Irene and she had been a blushing mess at the end of it, and that was specifically because it was her favorite song and her favorite person had sung it for her.

Irene wasn't gonna lie, but she really liked Jungkook's version of the song better. She had figured out Momo and Hoseok shipped them to death, and she realized it could also be the reason why she was invited to tag along in the first place.

So the very next day, Irene sung 'See you again' for Jungkook in return, and you can also add a squealing Hoseok and a giggling Momo in that one.

"Rene they didn't have orange so I bought a cocktail-!" 

Jungkook was cut off when a body collided with his own. The juice bottles fell from his hands and went straight into the water, and in a swift movement, Jungkook found himself holding whoever the person was in his arms.

He opened his eyes and saw that his hands were around a girl's waist, and when he looked at her face, Jungkook felt like his heartbeat stopped.

As if everything around him went into a slow-motion, he felt like he was frozen. The girl opened her eyes and stared into his, that had mixed emotions.

"J-Jeon?"

His heart broke. Completely. Jungkook said nothing and accidently backed away in shock, making her  fall down. Though it didn't hurt, she stood up on her own and saw Jungkook staring down at his hands as if he had committed a sin.

"Jeon, what are you doing here?" She  asked, totally amused to see him standing in front of her. Jungkook didn't even flinch, he couldn't manage to speak, his brain didn't seem to function from the wave of realization that had washed over him.

His blood started boiling as he connected the dots in his head. He was so angry, so angry that he wanted to punch someone at the moment. 

"Lisa." Jungkook addressed her sternly, clenching his fists. "I was here with Irene. We tagged along with Hoseok hyung and Momo noona since they were coming here for a vacation." He went monotone, his words sharp and cold as ice.

"Really? Where is she - Oh hi Irene!!" Lisa started waving to the said girl who was sitting peacefully on the swing. Irene heard her and waved back with a grin, a bit surprised to see her here, but she decided not to interrupt them both when she saw Jungkook's serious face.

"Anyway, Jeon-" He cut her off right there. "Don't call me that." His tone was still not back to normal, despite his heart aching at literally everything she did or said. Lisa's smile slowly started to fade, suspecting something wrong with him.

"I mean not in public," Jungkook covered it up instantly upon seeing her worried expression. He had to make her believe that everything was okay, because he didn't want her to get suspicious of anything. But what he didn't know was that Lisa had already noticed something was not right about him, yet she casually shrugged the feeling off as if it was nothing.

"Did you hear? Me and Taehyung are officially engaged!" 

Was there anything left to break in him? If so, then this was it. When he thought it wouldn't hurt anymore, all the pain came back, and like always, reality slapped him across the face. For each person there is a sentence - a series of words - which has the power to destroy them.

And for Jungkook, that sentence was it.

"Hold on, why is your face wet?" She pointed at his face with wide eyes. Jungkook refrained himself from wiping his tears that had fallen without realization and gave her a fake smile. "It's just sweat, I'll go look for my towel. Why don't you go catch up with Irene?" He suggested, making her nod her head.

"See you later!" She ran off to Irene, giving her a hug. Jungkook stood watching from a distance, taking deep breaths and calming himself down. He couldn't bear it anymore; Hoseok had really crossed the limit this time.

Jungkook's had enough of all this now.
