The Epiphany // (Jungkook x Reader)✅

"It hurts"

You were rushing towards the elevator, when you bumped into Jin.

"What happened, y/n? Why are you crying?", He worriedly asked.

"Nothing..", you barely said and entered the elevator, closing the door immediately.

Jin panicked and ran to the studio, and found Jungkook on his knees, bawling his eyes out.

"Jungkook, what happened? I just saw y/n. Did you two fight?", He immediately tried to pick him up and get seated on the couch.

"She left me, Jin hyung.", Jungkook let out a cry, and hugged Jin.

Jin patted Jungkook's head lightly, like a real elder brother, "It would all be fine. Just give her some time."

"What if it doesn't get fine ever, hyung?", Jungkook sniffled in Jin's arms.

"It will be.. you both love each other, don't you? Call her at night, and just give her some space for now.", Jin rubbed Jungkook's back to calm him down.

*Time skip*

You cried all the way back to your place. As soon as you reached home, you fell down to your knees and cried your heart out.

I didn't want to hurt him like this.
It hurts so much.

You clutched your heart in pain. You put your head on the couch and sat down on the floor beside it crying, and didn't realize when you fell asleep while the tears were trickling down your cheeks.

When you woke up, it was evening and you somehow walked up to the kitchen counter to grab a glass of water.

Your phone started ringing.

It was Jungkook.

You could not reject the call, but you didn't pick it either. You let it ring and started sobbing again while watching his name flash on the screen of your phone.

He started dropping multiple texts. Your phone was buzzing constantly.

"I just want to talk to y/n once. I will calm her down and convince her that all these things won't ever affect me and she is not at fault.", Jungkook was muttering to himself while trying to reach out.

"Oh god!! What if he comes here? And what if someone sees him? It would be a bigger problem.", You gasped.

Quickly taking out a suitcase, you started packing.

I have to leave for the USA anyway.. I should just go to dad's house for two days.

Oh..I didn't even get to tell him about me going abroad.

Maybe it was all meant to be. It's better this way.

Ahh.. but he knows my dad's house. He will try to reach out and I can't face him. And he will expose us further like this.

With all the chaos in your head, only one name came to mind.
NAMJOON

You quickly grabbed your phone and called him.

"Hi y/n.", He was cheerful on the other end.

"Joon, I need your help.", You tried to hold back a sob.

"What happened? Is everything fine?", He got worried.

"Please don't ask any questions, but could you let me stay at your house, till we leave for the USA?", You said it out loud, not believing that you were  actually doing this.

"Of Course.. sure. I am coming to pick you up right away."

"Thanks Joon.", You broke into tears again.

It didn't take him much time to arrive at your door. He helped with the luggage and just kept worriedly looking at you. You knew he wanted to ask so many questions, but you were glad that he didn't.

"Come on, the cab is waiting.", He gave you a hand.

Getting into the cab with him, you just kept quietly looking out the window, trying hard not to have an emotional breakdown again. Your phone was buzzing repeatedly and it was Jungkook. You just put it on silent mode and looked away.

Y/N's POV

"Y/N, you should settle down on the couch. I will get you some water.", Namjoon quickly rushed to the kitchen. And I obeyed him.

I gulped down the water quickly. My throat has been dry because of all the crying.

"I will take your suitcase to the guest room.", He offered to help.

"It's okay. I can take it to the room. Just guide me please.", I talked in a low tone.

"There is no way I am letting you go to sleep on an empty stomach. You wait here, I have already ordered food. It will be delivered anytime now.", Giving me strict orders, he strolled my suitcase to the guest room, stubbing his toe on the way.

I sat there quietly and glanced around. His apartment was slightly bigger than mine. He had minimal furniture, but there were a few beautiful paintings hung on the walls.

While I was lost in watching the paintings, the doorbell rang and food arrived. I was barely eating anything.

"Y/n, please atleast eat some more. You'll fall sick like this.", Namjoon extended his hand towards me, trying to feed me a few more bites of food.

Just after eating a little more, I excused myself, and went into the room, where I was going to stay for two days.

Locking the door, I laid down on the bed, and saw Jungkook's message notification, and a tear dropped from my eyes.

Peaches, pls pick up the call just once.

At this point, it was hurting so much that I started to doubt my decision. But I knew I had to do it. I needed some time to just take this all in and sort things out in my mind.

I had to do this for me.
