Chapter 74

Ari looked worriedly at the sleeping Seon, who had passed out a few minutes after you had informed her of your suspicions towards Jungkook's act. The shock of what you had said together with her insomnia had caused her to collapse, scaring the rest of you all, who were quite startled already from the conversation and became even more with her sudden fainting.

After Ari covered her well and made sure Seon's fever wasn't as high as before, she slowly walked out of her room where they had laid her and made her way over to the couch where you and Dae were left seated in silence.

"And what are we going to do now?" Dae asked as soon as she heard of Ari's presence as you were waiting for her to come down to discuss how you should proceed from here on out.

"Basically Taehyung and Yoongi shouldn't know that you know but we need to know what they discussed with Jungkook after he came to his senses. They're friends so they might have patched things up between them. For as far as I am concerned, those pills were illegal." Your serious words brought an even heavier atmosphere to the room, Dae and Ari getting lost in thoughts about their guys and the fact that they had kept such a secret from them.

"How can we make sure of this? Every time I ask Taehyung he avoids the conversation like hell." Ari took her place on the couch, a serious expression on her face as the situation was now so messed up that she didn't know what to feel.

Taehyung was her boyfriend and even though she had doubts about him all this time because of his secret meetings with Dae, she never imagined that the time would come when she would have to rank him as a potential enemy in order to help her friend Seon.

It was as if they had split into two teams, one the boys who covered for Jungkook and his illegal acts and one the girls who had no intention of leaving their girlfriend at the mercy of anyone and clarifying this case once and for all. Of course, the final word went to Seon as she has to decide if she intends to go back to Jungkook or not or if she will take the case to court against him.

"The only way we can get have a lead on them is if we have proof. If we find the pills. Now of course I don't know if Jungkook still has them or if he gave them to either of the other two." You gave an idea and silence fell on the room before Dae stood up and looked at you with a determined look.

"I'll search Yoongi's whole house, the car, the office. Anywhere he could have put them. You Ari search Taehyung. Y/N... You have to go to Jungkook's house." Her words froze your blood as there was no way you would do such a thing, not wanting to be alone with him for any reason.

"I can't do that. With what motive will I go? It's out of the question." You sternly refused and the two girls gave you a suspicious look.

"Y/N? Is there any other reason you haven't told us about that could reason why you don't want to meet Jungkook?" Ari asked you directly and you just pretended, not wanting to testify that you were terrified and scared of him.

"No. What reason would there be. I just don't think he wants to see anyone and there's no way he'll open up to me. And if he opens up, how am I supposed to search? See, I've looked everywhere already and found nothing." Your words were logical and they put Dae to think of a way so that you could enter.

"You still have the keys to his house don't you? Your clothes are still there too. You have a reason to go and just think about what you might have missed and while you're there packing your clothes, check." Dae blurted out her conclusion and Ari supported the idea, the two of them quickly grabbing their bags to go on with their tasks.

"But-But. Who will stay with Seon? She is sick" Your voice was heard as you still hadn't moved a rupee from where you were.

"She'll be asleep for a few hours. She's passed out and Dae gave her a tranquillizer shot. By the time she wakes up, we'll be back." Ari explained before grabbing your bag and turning towards you, waiting for you to get up and take it, which you did, heart pounding with fear and thoughts that were against this endeavour.

---Time skip---

You had found yourself outside the door of Jungkook's apartment, nervous as ever with hands that were shaking slightly and thoughts that only filled you with more panic.

Nonetheless, you found the courage to ring the bell, once, twice, three times, but no one answered. You looked around before reaching into your jacket pocket and pulling out the key, inwardly wishing that he might not be home or might be sleeping which would be incredibly convenient for you.

With a cold sweat pouring down your forehead, you put the key in the lock and unlocked the door, opening it quietly as if you were a thief. As you stepped inside you closed it behind you gently again, the sound of your heartbeat growing louder in your ears.

As you took two deep breaths and took two steps inside, another sound reached your ears, a soft melodious song which you followed and brought you to Jungkook's office door.

You gulped down with difficulty before plucking up the courage to spring slowly and take a quick look inside, only to be faced with broken glass on the floor and empty bottles strewn here and there. The music sounded even louder in there once the door was slightly open, making you realize that some whispers were following the lyrics of the song, before Jungkook raised his voice, following the lyrics more clearly, but scaring you in the process with his unexpected act.

Although his voice was very steady, you could easily tell that he was wasted, judging by the bottle of whiskey he was holding in his hand, half-finished and his half-closed eyes which were crimson.

You were left silent for a moment wondering if you should make your presence noticeable but that moment of thought came to an abrupt end as Jungkook's body fell from the chair he was sitting on to the floor, startling you.

You looked at him in surprise waiting for him to get up but he didn't, instead, he remained on the floor and stared at the ceiling, tears soon showing themselves in both of his eyes making You feel bad and sorry for him in that moment more than that you were afraid of him.

You pushed the door open and made your presence felt, Jungkook cocking his head to the side and seeing who had come to visit him.

You didn't say a word, instead, you walked up to him and dropped to your knees beside him, grabbing his arm and placing it over your shoulder, soon helping him to get back on his two feet again.

"I've come to get my clothes and I'll leave again. I won't bother you." You told him as you felt his gaze on you then proceeded to slowly led him to his bedroom where you helped him lay down on his bed.

"Seon. Seon. Stay with me please." He murmured as you tagged him in and you gave him a soft smile before gently stroking his hair.

"Sleep little one. It will pass. Someday you'll see...Your pain will fade...Sleep." You told him as you looked at him with your sad eyes and Jungkook looked at you with his which were still filled with tears.

"I love you Seon, no matter what I've done... I just want someone to love me... Love me please." He told you, his words causing a stir in your emotions, even though you knew that those words weren't meant for you.

"I guess, we both have a lot in common. But someone can't love us just because we want it and ask for it. Both sides have to want it. It just has to happen. When you wake up tomorrow you'll know I'm right." You told him before your hand went down to his cheek and gently touched it for a moment, looking at him with two eyes of compassion and love.

You briefly stayed there then tried to leave, your hand leaving his cheek feeling cold and abandoned, prompting his next move which was to grab your wrist and pull you into his tight embrace.

"Stay until I sleep at least... Please... I don't want to be alone. Stay with me." He whispered to you as he held you tightly, his touch confusing your senses as well as sending your mind into a panic.

Panic that was screaming at you to run and go wash away his touch in the bathroom. Alertness that was yelling at you to go and be locked somewhere far away until this feeling was gone but you did none of those things simply because if you were to run away from him now he would get hurt and for some reason, you managed to put his feelings over yours and just stayed. Stroking his hair gently, until Jungkook fell asleep in your arms.

Soothed by your sent that in his haze mind, brought alive a ghost figure of you instead of Seon. A figure that had made him feel comforted in your sent and safer in your warm embrase.
