[After thoughts~]

It feels so warm.

I sink in closer to the unknown source of this warmth.

I feel some movement beside me which followed by the rustling sound of the sheets.

When everything stops and silence once again engulfs me a sturdy arm wraps around my waist.

Instantly my eyes open up and panic arises in my chest.

Who was this person? And why is he sleeping with me?

"Relax, love. It's me", Jungkook speaks

My body instantly loosens up and I turn around to face him.

Events of last night play back in my head.

After my sudden breakdown Jungkook made an excuse for us to take our leave earlier

I still felt awful by the harsh realisation of our reality and just how much of a mess we were in, so Jungkook offered to stay with me for the night.

That's how we ended up curled up in my bed.

"I love you too"

That's what he said.

Although I wished we never felt this way towards one another, but to hear those words back........it made me so happy.

"What are we going to do now?", I ask

"Hmmm let's see. First you will have your breakfast, get changed and then I'll be taking you for our very first official date", he pulls me closer to him

"You know what I'm talking about"
"What?", he replies nonchalantly "that's what you people do right after they confess to each other right. Dating. We too will do it"

"I'm serious Jungkook", I look up at him
"Trust me, love, I've never been this serious about anything for all the decades I've lived untill now. Let's date", he leaves out a gentle smile

A promising smile
Assuring me that everything is gonna be alright.

But that's the thing about promises
They break and so will our hearts
If not now, in the future

I get off the bed, "No. We can't"
"Why?"

"You perfectly know why. We both are aware how this will end........how ugly things will get"

He sighs, "You're scared, love"
"Yes I am", I stand firmly, "and for a good reason"

Days later:

"Ms. Lee Chaeyoung!"
I slightly jerk by the sudden high tone of Lisa's voice.

"God, where is your mind? This is my 6th time calling you"
"Sorry"
"Are you alright?"

"Yea. I- God its already this late. I guess we should wrap things up for today", I get out of the counter and begin moving towards the door.
