Euphoria - A Jeon Jungkook AU Fan Fic

Chapter 12 🔞

Kim finds himself on his knees, slumping down next to his coffee table as tears roll down his cheeks. JK just walked out on him again, even when he said he wouldn't.

He wipes his tears and looks at the box of pizza like it's the last part of his life that has any meaning left. He wanted JK to fight for him, wanted him to stay, wanted them to talk it out. But of course that would have been way too easy. They always find ways to make things difficult.

Marie wasn't there to comfort him and he wakes up the next day on the carpet, rolled into a ball and the cold pizza still laying on the coffee table.

After a while, Marie arrives and makes him breakfast, not knowing what had happened the night before. But the almost untouched pizza speaks volumes.

She never speaks of JK again, they both don't.

...

"Did you hear this song?" asks a friend and Kim responds "What song?"

It's a beautiful Ballad version of something he remembers reading. And then he gasps.

JUNGKOOK!
DID HE JUST?
NO NO NO THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.

His spiraling thoughts and fears go unnoticed, hiding skillfully under his calm demeanor.

The friend lends him his earphones and he listens to the song once, and then twice before handing back the device.

"It's good" he says "I like it." and the friend responds "It sounds a lot like you.".

"Huh?"

"Yeah. The lyrics, the music, the whole vibe, it's very...YOU!"

"Don't tell me every classical song reminds you of me now." and to that they both chuckle and move on from the topic.

Except, he can't move on.

It's been almost three months since he last saw JK and he is not sure what this means anymore. Did they even have a relationship to have a post-breakup song, he thinks, his mind wondering what else is hidden in the song.

By the time he gets home, he looks up the song and starts watching the music video. And then he sees it all. Little clues left all over the background of each scene.

The first thing they ate together, the first place they visited together, their first purchase together, it was the huge refrigerator of course.

There's his favorite flowers his favorite musical instrument and even his favorite pizza with Pineapple and Pepperoni making a special appearance in the video's background.

He wants to call JK, wants to let him know that he misses him too. But ego gets the best of him.

Why did he not tell me himself, he thinks. Why JK didn't even text him about the song he so clearly created for Kim.

He turns the video off and leave the device on his sofa.

I don't need this anymore.

I'm tired of this stupid game.

And just as he is about to leave the room, there is a notification alert ringing on the same device. He walks back to the sofa and carelessly picks it up, brows furrowed in rage until he gasps. It's a text, from JK.

I'M SORRY. THIS IS FOR YOU, FOR US.

Kim spends the next hour sobbing over the text, holding the screen close to his heart, watching the video over and over again with teary eyes. And when he calmed down enough to start making sense of the possibility that lie ahead, he picks up his phone and calls JK.
