14 Missing Her

"Save your tears. I'll reap your sorrow slowly. I have centuries to discover the things that make you whimper."

- Hellraiser

It has been two whole weeks since you have received the dead rat parcel at your doorstep. Your state of mind has not been at its best, your mind has been constantly racing and you feel like you will have panic attacks anytime, but it hasn't come to pass. It's difficult to pick a battle. Should you keep worrying every time your phone chimes, indicating a text or a call, or when someone knocks on your door? Or should you be concerned about your ongoing exams at your university, on which your entire career depends? Or can you finally find the mental energy to spend time with your now 'boyfriend', Jungkook?

Whatever suspicions you had about Jimin is sizzling down because the Jimin you know will and can never do something like this. It has got to be someone else. Besides, how can he be pulling the strings from The States? He had to leave the very next day of your encounter and the last you heard; he hasn't come back.

"Shit!" The call goes to voicemail as you try ringing her for God knows how many times. It has also been weeks since she left your shared apartment the very next day of her breakup with limited belongings of hers. She hasn't returned your calls or texts and you can't help but blame yourself for whatever has happened to Wendy. She was there for you every single day during your breakup, she was the pillar you could hold onto when hell breaks loose. But now that she's going through so much pain and agony, you are not there for her. Or is it that she doesn't want you to be there for her anymore?

You feel sick to your stomach realising that Christmas is coming soon and Wendy might not attend it with you and your family, which has been a tradition for many years. She never liked spending Christmas in her family's huge mansion, with her parents and their poker faces, in parties where only people liked boasting their wealth and making small conversations about which Caviar is better. She said that spending holidays with your family felt like home, it gave her the family she never thought she could have.

You feel a pair of hands encircle around your waist, warm breath fanning over your neck. "Did she pick up?"

You turn around in Jungkook's embrace to face him. It amazes you how he manages to look so good even when his brows are furrowed, and he has a hint of worry on his face. You stand on your tiptoes and wrap your arms around his neck, ruffling the hair on his nape. "No, she didn't."

He leans his head closer to you and gives you a sad smile. "She'll come around eventually, it's best to give her some space for now, yeah?"

"I guess..." You look down guiltily, worrying about how Wendy must be when Jungkook tilts your chin towards him using his pointer finger and whispers, "do you want to dance?"

Your eyes light up at his proposal and you nod your head. He turns around to connect his phone with the Bluetooth speakers and plays a lively jazz record. He comes back to hold you by your waist and suddenly hoists you in the air, leaving you giggling like a child. He twists you around like a ballerina making you stumble a little. He starts laughing and you playfully smack his arm in retaliation. "Jungkook, you dance like an amateur."

"Is that so? Would you be so kind to teach me the art of dancing, my dear?" He cups your cheeks and plants a small kiss on the tip of your nose, making you blush.

"Sure! Now, watch and learn." You spread your hands in the air and start jiggling your body. Prodding around in the room while jumping like a kangaroo you keep rocking your head, making your hair bounce. Jungkook smiles like an idiot, his eyes trained on you as he joins you to make similar moves. You open your eyes and find him dancing, making you both laugh. He makes you forget about all the worries in life and the only person you can think of is him, and only him.

"What are your plans for Christmas?" you ask between the beats.

"Huh?"

You repeat the question, except this time it's much louder. He stops moving and looks at you. "Nothing, really. You?"

"How about we spend it together?" You motion towards the flat, "in here."

"But you said you're going to your hometown for the holidays." He takes a step ahead.

"Change of plans, I want to be with you. Or you can accompany me to my parents' place?"

He rolls his eyes and steps right in front of you, taking your soft hand in his big ones. "We've been to how many?" Looking up at the ceiling he squints his eyes, "three dates and you already want me to meet your parents?"

"Only if you are comfortable." You shrug. "Although, I'd rather spend it here, just you and I." You can't face your parents without Wendy, especially if they get to know that she has detached herself from you.

"It's a done deal then," he says as he pecks your lips softly.
