Promise

.--. .-. --- -- .. ... .

I jumped in my place and gripped into the
railing tighter to make myself steady.

He breathed out a chuckle.
"You haven't changed. Still clumsy."

the clumsiest to be honest

He walked towards me. I heard his footsteps stopped when his breath started tingling on my bare skin. My heart started racing, once again.

"Why're you here Jungkook? After 7 years."

I uttered with my eyes closed. I tried to stop myself from trembling and collapsing into the ground.

"This's the first question you ask me? After 7 years. It sounds like no one's happy that I came back."

I turned back slowly,pushing him a little to make distance between our bodies.

His messy locks were covering his forehead. His eyes were still so rounded and doe. They held one million stars in them. His puffy nose remained the same. His naturally pink lips did too. The little star was still there, underneath his full lower lip. He was the meaning of perfection. He was more actually. He was just too good to be real.

I sighed in relief.

"it's not like that...I actu-"

"Oh, of course you would be sad. I'm just an interruption, aren't I?...I must be interrupting your happiness with Taehyung...You know what? I don't give a shit, just the way you didn't when you stabbed me in my back with that bastard."

"What do you mean?... I never wanted your friendship with Tae be ruined because of me. You were used to be like brothers."

My voice cracked in the end. He laughed and poked inside of his cheek with his tongue while staring into my teary eyes.

"But it's ruined already and you chose him in the end. You didn't care about me at all. You don't care about anyone else, but you. Are you satisfied now Jung Y/N?"

I didn't say a word. The lump in my throat kept growing, making it hard to breathe.

"Does it even matter?...all you want is love and attention, and once you have that...You don't give a fuck about what others feel. You will find yourself someone new to lean on."

His jaw clenched as he looked away. I couldn't hold back tears anymore. They started running down my cheeks. His words hurt me so much. Yes, I broke him but he was the one who broke me first. I did never stopped loving him. No matter what he did, I couldn't. No matter how much my brain reminded me of how wounded I was, his presence was enough to make my heart beat crazily. I didn't even blame him. It was all my fault. I was fool to believe that I could change him.

"Jungkook you don't know anything. You weren't there when I was the loneliest. You have no idea what I was going thro-"

"I-I don't care a-anymore."
He cut me off with a trembling voice, and that was the time I noticed his wet cheeks.

My heart clenched. His tears were the last thing I wanted to see.

"Jungkook.."
I lifted my hand up to his face, but he stopped me by grabbing my wrist.

"Don't dare touching me once again."

It was all my fault, but there was nothing to do. I couldn't turn back and change my decisions. I didn't leave him because I wanted revenge. That was all I could do to save myself after what happened that night. I guess we both were selfish.

I came to Taehyung because he was the only one I had. He helped me overcome those hard times. He also leaned on me. I didn't love him. The person I loved was standing right before my eyes. He wasn't aware of the difference between the way I look at him and the way I look at Tae.

Our gazes locked again. He saw my tears. I could say it from the way his eyes saddened. Even if he tried to hide everything, his eyes never lied. Not to me.

"I'm sorry for everything...both of you are really precious to me. Please understand me. I know it's hard, but try to understand me." I breathed out shakily. I couldn't tell him anything more. That secret had to be buried inside our hearts.

"Saying sorry doesn't work...not for us."

"What the hell are you doing to her?"
My attention was drawn to the back of Jungkook. Taehyung was standing against the door frame. His eyes were filled with anger. He came closer and pushed Jungkook away.

"A-Are you a-alright?..why are y-you crying?"
His fingers caressed my cheeks in the gentlest way. I closed my eyes in relief.

"I'm fine...I really am."
I opened my eyes when I didn't feel his warmth against my skin anymore. I found him gripping into Jungkook's collar on the other side of the balcony.

"Taehyu... what are you doing?..let him go."

I jumped towards them, almost stumbling on my own feet. Once I reached them, I wrapped my fingers around his wrist, begging him to stop.

"You came out of nowhere to ruin my life and I don't fucking let you."

"Oh really?...you're going to stop things by punching me? Did you forget that it's also my father's company?"
Jungkook mumbled. His lips formed a smirk.

"Jungkook shut the fuck up..Tae please...let's go home, hm?"

Taehyung wasn't even blinking. He couldn't hear me.

"I'm going to end you tonight...I swear."
He growled. His vessels were clearly visible through his honey-like skin. He was going to kill him.

I placed my hands on each side of his face.
"TAEHYUNG...PLEASE,LOOK AT ME."
I almost screamed this time.

He finally shifted his gaze to mine and started blinking. His chest rose and fell in anger.

"Let's go home...I beg you."
His eyes softened. He let go of Jungkook's shirt and pulled me to his embrace.

"Please don't ever leave me...promise."

"I won't...I promise."

And I didn't know that I will break my promise soon.
