- But I still want you...

Y/N burst into tears in her dressing room listening to the song that BTS's vocal line had just performed on the music show she was also participating in. She had resisted until her show, but seeing JK's face again, seeing his glassy eyes, how he delicately grasped the microphone and looked up at the sky, it had been too much. Her manager ran to her side and gave her a consoling pat on the back.

- You knew that this moment would come, that you wouldn't run into him before in BH it has been almost as if the planets aligned, but you must start to get used to it, Y/N, you're in the same company and you move through the same circles.

She pressed the palms of her hands to her eyes.

- You're right - she said at last - but I need a moment alone, please.

The manager said something about going to talk to some producer and as soon as she disappeared from her dressing room, she ran over to theirs. The vocal line was coming at the time, Tae was saying something to JK while Jimin and Jin followed them silently. The first one stopped when he saw her, and JK looked up from the ground.

- You have been crying. - He said worried.

Jin tapped Jimin and Tae on the shoulders and the three of them entered their dressing room.

- How are you? -She asked in a shaky voice.

- Working hard.

- I didn't ask that.

- What do you want me to say?

- That you want us to get back together.

-Y/N... - He threw his head back, staring at the ceiling, and took a deep breath. - We both decided that your career...

- To hell with my career. I'd rather be the choir girl or go back to cleaning the offices at night if I can be with you.

JK took her by the arm and led her to her dressing room, which he locked.

- Y/N, if the years go by and you regret having lost this opportunity, you'll start to resent me and you'll end up hating me.

- So how long do you think must pass before I can choose to be happy again without you feeling responsible?

- Listen to me, I've lived through this and...

- Jungkook! You are not listening to me. I can't be happy again without you, no matter how hard I try. Yes, I like the applause and the fans and they make me feel loved, but I still feel an emptiness that isn't filled with anything.

- They will report you for breach of contract.

Y/N stared at him for a moment.

-You don't want us to be together again... - she said quietly. - That's why you don't stop making excuses.

JK looked at her sadly.

- What's her name? - she wanted to know.

- It doesn't matter.

- You're right. - She nodded.

- I better go now.

- Yes.

The moment he left the dressing room, Y/N began to feel that she was short of air, that her body was cold, but she wouldn't stop sweating, that her hands were numb and her stomach was turning. Only one thought crossed her mind: she had to get out of there by all means. She kicked off her heels and ran barefoot to the back of the building, where the artists came and went. She looked around and got into the first taxi she saw available.
