FRIDAY

Jungkook was in a better mood on Thursday after all the stress of the meeting on Wednesday afternoon but now Friday had arrived his mood had shifted again!

But it's strange; it's not like he's being moody with you, but in fact, he's been more withdrawn which is strange because in all the time you've known him, although it's not long, you've never seen him distant from you!

Lunchtime arrives and you think maybe going and fetching him a sandwich and a coffee might help, so you do! Bringing him back at Christmas sandwich even though he says he doesn't like Christmas and a coffee with an extra sugar shot.

"Hey... what's up?" You ask quietly as you place the coffee cup onto his desk right in front of him, "... I got you a sandwich..." you push that across the desk gently as he glances down at it then back up at you with a roll of his eyes and a sly smirk.

"Of course... Christmas!" He huffs grabbing the sandwich, inspecting it and then dumping it back on his desk, "... thanks..."

You go and grab your own office chair and sit opposite him at his desk, opening your sandwich and sneaking a look at him, "... I, I can get you something else if you want?" You whisper when he looks defeated.

"No, no don't worry, I... thank you..." he picks the sandwich back up and opens it, taking a small bite, "... this is actually nice... thanks..."

"You said that about the last Christmas sandwich..." you smile softly.

"Hmmm..."

You watch him; picking and poking at it, not trying to make any conversation with you; "what's wrong?" You whisper.

"Huh? With me? Nothing..." he gives you a small, forced smile.

"Come on... I know something's wrong, you're never this quiet?" You shift forward so you're closer to him, making him stare right at you.

"You mean I'm not trying to fuck you?!" He winks with a smile, raising an eyebrow at you.

"No, stop joking around, I know something's up! Come on... spill!" You smile.

Jungkook sighs putting his half eaten sandwich down, before taking a sip of coffee and then staring right at you; "I've got to spend Christmas in London with my dad! Sorry, my dad and his girlfriend!"

Jungkook's voice couldn't sound less thrilled if he tried.

"Okay, so you're sad because it's Christmas?" You're confused.

"Well there's that! But it's also just because I don't want to spend time with my dad and his girlfriend!" The way he snarls when he says girlfriend makes you think there's something bitter with it all.

"Oh..." you answer quietly, almost not at all, not knowing what to say.

There's a strange moment of silence before Jungkook sighs again; "my dad he..." Jungkook stalls as if contemplating whether to tell you something personal or not, but then he runs a hand through his hair and continues while you stare softly at him, "... he ruined my mum's life! She always says she got over it but, I don't think she ever has! He's... he was a liar and a cheat and the way he broke my mum's heart, he thinks I can just forgive that, the way I had to watch my mum cry so much! While he... he walked away with, with that, bit of a younger slice of life?"

You reach out and take a hold of the hand Jungkook's got resting on the desk; "I'm sorry..."

"No! Don't be sorry! I, I know I shouldn't get so angry but... I mean, he fucking told her he'd been seeing that woman and he left my mum on Christmas Day! Christmas fucking day! That bitch came round to our house to take my dad away, to drive him off to her home and live happily ever after while I had to stand there and watch my mum break down! I hate him for that and I'm pretty sure he gets the gist!" Jungkook squeezes your hand tight and sighs.

"So, that's why you hate Christmas so much?" You whisper.

Jungkook looks across at you, his doe eyes wide and shiny, "yeah... because I, I just think of it being the day my dad walked away... he couldn't have given two shits about me or my mum until he had to care about me!"

"Hey... families are complicated, but... why don't you just not go..." you shrug your shoulders.

"Not go? Go where?"

"To London? Don't go..."

He lets out a tiny giggle, "you have no idea how much I wish I didn't have to go but unfortunately I do... it's not that easy!"

You want to ask why but feel like if he wanted you to know he'd tell you.

"Okay... well... I..." you have no clue what to say!

Why am I tongue tied?

"It's alright, I've gotten used to it... I haven't seen them for three years so..."

Jungkook looks sad, deflated and almost withdrawn again; you stand up and shuffle around his desk as he turns his chair to face you, and you stand between his legs, but never let go of his hand and he intertwines your fingers. You lean down slowly as he watches you and there's a spark flickering between you both!

You kiss him gently, softly and he melts under your touch; he kisses back with the same tenderness and it sets butterflies off in your tummy.

There's something about him!

He's different!

"You okay?" You ask with a small smile when you break apart.

He nods, "yeah... yeah I'm good... thanks Y/N, thanks for... you know..."

You kiss him softly again and then draw him into a hug which he reciprocates instantly.

A quiet, but somehow meaningful aftermath to the conversation he'd obviously not really wanted to have.
