BEFORE ECLIPSE || JEON JUNGKOOK

THE BEGINIG OF THE END

CHAPTER: 68

"I want to hold your hand on a cold night and wake up to your face on a Saturday morning.

I want to travel the vast expanse of your mind and scare the evil spirits and bad thoughts.

I want to fall asleep to the pure sound of your heartbeat and taste the tantalizing feel of your skin.

I want to wrap my arms tight around you and never let you go.

I want to fall asleep to the sound of your voice and wake up to the beauty of your smile.

I want to kiss you from head to toe and drown in your carefree laugh.

I want you, in your entirety, and I want to love you endlessly."

-Julie Martinez.

Y/N's MEMORIES

I remember once, Jung Kook's parents invited us for dinner. I had a long, stressful day at work. Lately, I wasn't doing well at all. I was in the research department, and I worked for Federal Museum. I loved where I was working, but that place was not exactly my first preference to work for.

I wanted to work for a different museum, and without doing anything good at the Federal Museum, there was no chance of me getting promoted to a bigger and better one.

I was working my ass off, hundreds of research papers, my own research papers, fossils examinations, running to universities with specimens, and what not.

It was the 7th time my research work was rejected, and I was told that my Paperwork wasn't specific and appropriate. I worked for months on that research paper which was rejected, and I felt as if I was going to be stuck, and I won't be able to achieve anything that I saw and dreamt about. I was scared that I won't ever be able to publish my research paper, and all I will ever be is a normal PhD holder and never a scientist.

I know it's a very nerdy dream to become a scientist but I loved what I did and I hated the idea of getting stuck in to a laboratory and brush the dirt off some old, grunge fossils.

Sure, my parents were rich, very rich, but I didn't want their money. I wanted to be something on my own. I have lived a pretty lavish and comfortable life, but once I got into the university, I wanted to do something different. I'm glad that my parents supported me and let me be on my own, unlike Jung Kook's parents, his father, to be exact.

Jung kook and I are not as rich as our parents, but we are well to do. We both earn enough to live a comfortable life if not a lavish one. Amongst us, Jung Kook had more money than me because there were other sources of money that came into Jung Kook's bank accounts other than his own earnings, the trust funds that his mother named after him. He hated that money because it was indirectly his father's. So, he used to donate all that money to his mother's different NGO's or health care centres.

I was really upset, and I had no mood to go anywhere, but that dinner, at Jung kook's parent's house, was the last thing I wanted to cancel. Since the past few months, I have cancelled almost every plan that Jung kook came up with, sometimes the once which I myself made.

I was way too invested in my work. I came home late. Jung kook always waited for me, and we had dinner together. We barely saw each other, he used to be tired, and I used to be tired, so we barely had sex. It was not just me even Jung Kook was very busy with his work, and we both were a little disconnected from each other.

We planned a lot of things on bed after having sex, sometimes. But we barely got any of those plans successful. It was either him who used to cancel because of his work, or I did. But to be honest, it was me who cancelled most of the plans scratch that almost every plan.
