The Empath And The Narcissist | JJK

"A frat party?" "Nope. Not happening" You deny firmly.

"C'mon, Y/N! Don't be a party pooper. It is just going to be a mile away from our hotel. You need to learn to enjoy Saturday nights properly. You are coming. I don't want to hear anything. This weekend has to be a hit. Pack a sexy dress for the weekendOknowIgottago, bye" Hyeyeon hangs up, not letting you speak.

"No I-Hyeyeon! Hyeyeon!" You yell into the phone.

You were about to call her back to tell her your decision in the midst of cooking lunch but just then you receive a call from an unknown caller which is in fact a private number. You can't see the number nor can you call them back. It's like the 100th call in these 4 months. You knew what was going to happen. You were going to answer it and no one was going to speak anything from the other side and then hang up in a few seconds. Fucking blank calls. You just hope it's not someone stranded on an island and calling you up for help because if that's not the reason, you were ready to commit a homicide.

"I swear to God if someone does not speak up this time. I am going to hunt you down and throw you alive in boiling oil, mother-DOG. SPEAK UP SPEAK UP, you rat. I am sorry if it's an older person but you have been testing my patience for way too long and way too much. Wuss-My soup!" You scream after discovering all the water being evaporated away from the soup pot.

You immediately turn off the stove and get more raged up.

"You owe me a soup, Mr. Headache. Or Miss. Headache or Whatever. Ugh....." You exhale and sigh loudly staring at the burnt remainder of the soup.

You were about to hang up the call but you did not after hearing an unexpected laugh. It was a very light and faded one but someone let out a chuckle from the other side for sure. You know you definitely heard someone.

"Hello? Person? Hello-"

And they again abruptly hang up the call.

"Huh?"

Why won't they speak? "Jeez. It is creepy"

"Who were you getting mad at? Do you talk to animals? Who were the dogs and the rats? Was it Ratatouille? Does he have a headache? C'mon now you did not have to call the legendary chef for one simple soup and rice"

You jump and almost drop your phone with Yeonhan's sudden appearance.

"Yeonhan. Shit...." "You startled me" You place your hand on your chest and calm down.

"Are you secretly a disney princess? How can you talk to animals?" He frowns, seriously.

"You cannot just say that with a serious face, Yeonhan" You judge him.

"No, because if you were cursing at someone, you need to find a time machine and go back in your time. The 80s" He flashes you a second long smile and gets back to the straight face,

"Shut up, Yeonhan. I cannot curse at strangers, therefore, I had to do it passively. There is this person who has been blank calling me for the past few months. They just don't utter a single word. I can sometimes hear a dark and a very low background noise and today, they even laughed. I am so confused and creeped out" you explain it to him.

"This situation sounds familiar. Oftenly happens in romantic movies" Yeonhan opens his mouth making no sense.

"What?"

"Yeah" "The lover keeps calling the girl just to hear her voice after their break up as he misses her but cannot officially meet her or let her know that he still loves her but I don't think it's the same in your case. No one loves you. It's probably some lameass kid pranking you. Cmon, now. Make me lunch and please don't start crying now. Accept the reality-OWWW" "It did not hurt but still, owww!"

You throw a spatula very badly at him and it hits him in the arm. "You have gotten so mean" You whine and start looking for another thing to throw at him. Before you launch another household weapon of yours at Yeonhan, he quickly storms away into his room.

"Little Bitch" you start controlling your angry breathing.

After you calm down, Yeonhan's initial words push you into thinking. "The lover keeps calling the girl just to hear her voice after their break up as he misses her but cannot officially meet her or let her know that he still loves her"

Your ex's name should pop in your head but not to your surprise and to water your hope, you think of that one person who has been on your mind and in your heart for months since you first met him.

"Jungkook" "Is that you?" You breathe in slowly after slipping into great curiosity along with emerging hopes. Thinking of it having the chance of being him, a tiny smile appears on your face following the fear of it not being him.

Does he miss you too? The smile enlarges upon a highly uncertain idea.

You start feeling his presence after going back to the times when you received these calls. You start perceiving the situation totally differently now. The vibe changed and so did the energy. Ironic to a few moments ago when you were cursing at the caller for annoying you, now you are lowkey dying for them to call back.

"Please be you, Jungkook. I miss you so much" Your eyes dampen recalling his voice, his touch, the time spent with him, his indirect care and he himself from 6 months ago. "Please. Just come see me once" You beg him but you sadly talk to yourself in his loud absence.

***

It has become your habit of visiting Jungkook's apartment everytime you terribly miss him, just to feel his presence and to go back to those memories trapped in the back of your mind. He had sadly moved out from the apartment. You only discovered that when you first time couldn't hold yourself back and came running to his place. You even went to the apartment where his hyungs lived and that was empty too. You were even ready to rent out Jungkook's apartment but the owner won't rent it again for some reason. You always visited his place and leaned on his door for a few minutes, hoping for him to show up. It sounds stupid and is stupid too but you do idiotic and illogical things when your heart starts taking control of your mind.

"You know...."

You were at Jungkook's door, leaning your forehead on his door with your hands in your pockets, you heard a man from behind you. You turn around to the person and recognise him. He was in charge of the apartment building.

"........sometimes the owners forget to change or reset the door lock passwords after their tenants move out" he continues after having your attention.

It was so random. "I'm sorry?"

"So silly, right?" The old man laughs to himself and begins walking away, leaving you watching him all confused.

"sometimes the owners forget to change or reset the door lock passwords after their tenants move out" you hear his words again in your head as you think about how random they were,

Oh.

And it finally clicks to you. You turn around quickly and stare at the apartment's door lock and the number keys on it, ready to try out the passcode you know of. You put in those 6 digits and hear the unlocking jingle. You stand there all shook for a few seconds before stepping into the apartment.
