CHAPTER: 85

"She always praised how beautiful the moon was, it was, yes, but I always failed to make her believe she was prettier."

-Josephine Westeros


JUNG KOOK'S POV

I came back to Tae's apartment at around 2 in the morning. I was sober after almost a month. I looked around the house and it was messy. It was as if I was living in junk, trash.

I took a deep breath and removed my jacket and pants. I got myself into my shorts and started cleaning. I knew I wasn't going to fall asleep even though I was tired so I decided it's better to do something rather than shoving myself into alcohol which doesn't help me sleep either.

It took me around 2 hours to clean the house. I then cleaned myself and after that laid on bed. I closed my eyes and all I could think of was Y/n.

She is the first thought when I wake up and the last before I fall asleep. It doesn't matter that her hurt left a scar, what matters is this scar is worth living for. But even so I decided to let go because I couldn't take her anymore.

It's me who is a coward. It's me who doesn't have the courage to face her.

-

I spent my entire time thinking about how I was going to face y/n after so many days that I didn't even realize it was morning already.

I got off the bed, went for a bath and prepared something for myself. It was again after a month that I decided to have breakfast. I need a lot of energy to face both Y/n and my mother so I thought breakfast might help.

Once I was done. I went for my laptop and reviewed my work for the court hearing I have today.

As I was done with summing up, I called my client and talked to them about the hearing.

-

It was noon when the court was adjourned. We won the case!

I was on my way back to the office when I got a call from mother. She reminded me not to break her promise and show up with y/n. I told her as promised we will be there and hung up.

I was in the office till six.

When I was done I left the remaining work for Miss Jo and drove towards our house.

On the way all I was doing was preparing myself to face her. I wanted to call her but I decided it's better to go home and wait for her.

After about an hour of driving I reached our place at seven. I parked my car and got out only to be welcomed by a dull garden but I wasn't surprised. I already knew it would happen.

I took a deep breath and looked at the house.

Though we started good at this house but our memories are all haunted and black in this house.

I was about to walk but I saw Y/n's car parked in her spot. For a second I thought she was home and I prepared myself for her yelling and crying.

I took another deep breath and walked towards the entrance. I pushed the door bell and waited but nobody answered. So, I rang it again and still no one answered.

I looked around for a while and looked at y/n's car again. Her tires were flat. A sense of relief gushed me.

I took my keys and opened the door. It was all dark when I looked around because the curtains were down and the house smelled funny as if it has been closed for days.

I turned on the lights. The house was looking as if nobody lived here. Everything was on its place it was just everything was dusty.

I went to the kitchen and it was the same. It was all clean but had dust on it. It looked as if nobody has cooked anything since ages. I went for the refrigerator. There were some fruits, eggs, expired bread and the usual.
