Lessons

Confused

When Jungkook got home, he locked himself in his room. His body and mind were feeling so many different emotions that he could not find sleep. To keep his brain occupied with other thoughts, he started to play online games.

"Jungkookie!" Jin slammed his fist against the youngest door. "Come out and eat!"
"I am not hungry!" The maknae shouted back. "Die, you bitch!" he added, shocking the oldest.
"Yah! You little..."
"Jin-hyung, I don't think that was for you. Jungkook has been playing games for three days now straight." Taehyung informed the oldest with a concerned expression. "I have tried to get him out. I even played with him online, but nothing worked."
"But we have practice later. He needs to get ready," Jin replied, banging again on the door and asking for the youngest to come out.
Realizing that typical methods would not help, the oldest contacted their manager. Only when the latter stepped in did Jungkook drag his exhausted body to practice.

"Where is my computer? And my PS5?" the youngest called when he returned to the dorm late at night. The other members had already turned in their rooms, so Jungkook just lay in his bed. Memories of his time with Kate played before his inner eye, aching his heart.
Not able to find any rest, he flipped his phone open. Tens of messages suddenly popped up, but Jungkook ignored them, seeing that Kate had been the sender.
As a new wave of anger rushed through his body, he slammed his phone against the wall breaking it.
"Why can you not love me? Why am I only one of your clients? I love you, but you just see me as your student!" Jungkook sobbed as the emotions of an unanswered love filled him.
Before, he was gaming to occupy his mind, but now he could only lie in bed, unable to even get up for practice.

"Are you okay?" Namjoon inquired when he walked into the youngest's dark room two days later, looking at the exhausted body that the maknae tried to hide under the big covers.
"I think I am sick. Maybe the flu. Don't worry. I will be fine soon." The youngest lied, knowing far well that his broken heart could not be fixed that easily.
Unfortunately, his refusal to get up or eat lasted for over a week until the other members had enough. After discussing their options, they decided that a night out might be what the youngest needed to return to being his joyful self.
"Oh my God! You need to get some food into you." Jin exclaimed when Jungkook appeared out of the bathroom.
An hour before, Taehyung and Hoseok had finally managed to convince Jungkook to go out with all of them. At first, the maknae refused, but when Hoseok told him that seeing other people might keep his mind away from whatever was torturing him, he agreed.
Jungkook looked down at his exposed chest and smiled like a madman. Kate had managed to ruin not only his mind but also his body. He must have lost several kilos, and his abs were nowhere to be seen.

Kate didn't want to go out, but it was her last day at work, and her colleagues had insisted that they should hit this new club.
"Are you having fun?" a stranger asked her when she was at the bar to order another drink.
"Pretty much," Kate turned her attention back to the bartender, unwilling to engage with another man as her heart was still beating for a well-known Kpop singer.
For days, she had tried to get a hold of Jungkook, but he ignored every single attempt from her. She didn't know where it all went wrong, but when her agency contacted her and informed her that Mr. Jeon had not asked for the contract to be renewed, she realized that her feelings for him were one-sided.
In her nightmares which haunted her every night, she saw the man she loved making love to other women just the way she had taught him, just how she wanted him to show her again.
"Are you here alone?" The stranger would not leave her alone, even following her to her table.
"No! And I am not interested." Kate notified him, gulping down her Martini in one go before she headed to the dance floor, hoping that mingling with others would keep the man away.

"Here you go!" Yoongi handed Jungkook a glass of whiskey as they took their seats in the VIP area overlooking the main room.
Hoseok, Jimin, and Tae were already showing their captivating moves on the dance floor, while Namjoon and Jin were flirting with two gorgeous women sitting next to them.
"Hey, slow down, Kookie!" Yoongi let him know when the youngest finished his drink in one go, beckoning the waitress to order another glass.
After the third drink in less than 30 minutes, Jungkook's glassy eyes wandered over the club. He felt intoxicated, but then the blur suddenly lifted, and he was sure he was dreaming.
He moved closer to the railing, trying to get a hold of the person dancing among the crowd. Instantly his eyes caught the swaying figure of the woman he so desperately wanted to hold in his arms again.
"Kate," he mumbled with a grin as if seeing her was putting his body and mind at ease.
Next, rage flooded his body as he watched a man putting his hands on her hips as she swayed her body to the music. Jealousy and possessiveness took over the singer when he thought he saw her smile.
