2.Why me?

Junkook's pov

I was really mad. I was about to slap her again, but I stopped when I heard Jin hyung's voice.

"She did not tear the picture," he said.

"What?" I asked, turning to face hyung.

"She did not tear that picture. Namjoon did."

I lowered my hand which was going to slap y/n. I looked at her. She was staring at me with an indecipherable expression. Shit! I slapped her.

I turned to Jin hyung who was already looking at Y/n as he spoke. "Namjoon tore that picture because he was angry that someone like his sister had to be in this kind of marriage. Y/n knew you would be upset when you see this. So she wanted to make another copy of the picture and give it back to you. That's why you found it with her things." Turning to face me, he continued. "She was trying to make you feel better and this is what she gets. Hurt."

He turned to the other side of the room and said without looking at me. "I never expected this from you, Jungkook" he said in a disappointed tone.

"Y/n , I'm sorry-"

Before I could complete my sentence, she walked away to her room. Jin hyung and I followed her.

He entered her room. But I just stood near the door, trying to listen to her.

"Why? Why me?" she asked quietly, hugging her knees and sitting on the floor.

"Y/n" Jin hyung couldn't say anything else.

"Oppa" she called for hyung, raising her head as he looked at her. "Why does no one believe me?"

He just kept quiet. Jungkook's actions felt like deliberate humiliation, with the intent to seize control of how others feel about themselves.

"Every time I try to help someone or be good, it always ends up me getting hurt. I just.... feel like my whole existence is a mistake."

Jin hyung patted her back. "Don't care about the others who are just idiots, and they can think whatever they want."

Just then, her phone started ringing and hyung picked the call, putting it on speaker mode for her to hear.

"My Rose!" the voice said through the call. Jennie. Y/n's best friend.

Y/n chuckled lightly and asked, "What is it, my Jack?"

"What is it? You're asking me what? Let me ask you, what is it?!"

"Oh, gawd! How can I forget about the recording?!"

"You idiot, it's not that."

"What is it then?"

"It's your birthday, pabo!"

Wait. What? Did I just slap her on her birthday?

You're such a jerk, Jeon Jungkook!

Your pov

"Wait. What is it again?" I asked her, completely unaware about MY birthday.

"Aish! The one who remembers the birthday of everyone on this planet just forgot her own birthday."

"So what?" I asked again

"Did you get a gift from your husband?" she asked excitedly.

I stayed silent for a moment and then answered. "Yeah I did" I told her the truth while Jin oppa looked at me, confused.

"What is it? How was it? Can you show it to me later?" she bombarded me with questions on the phone.

"No one ever gave such a gift to me. I didn't expect that either. And, no. I'm not gonna show it to you."

"Whatever. Don't forget about the MV shooting too" she reminded me.

Yeah. We're both singers. Sometimes, we dance. Sometimes, we sleep.

And Jungkook is the CEO of one of the leading companies in South Korea. Most people ship us. It's just like adding salt to your wound. Because he doesn't love me.

"I won't" I replied to Jennie. "By the way, you still love me?" I ask her. Our signature friendship line.

"No. I hate you" she replied firmly.

"Aww! I love you too!" I cooed as Jin oppa shook his head at our conversation.

"Pervert."

"Yeah. Says the one." There was a moment of silence and then Jennie and Jin oppa laughed out a little.

After some time, I hung up the call, kicked the worldwide handsome man out of the bedroom and got ready for the recording.

I was smiling everyday, like nothing happened. A fake smile was much easier than explaining why I don't smile much.

"Y/n" I heard Jungkook's voice and turned to see him, his head hung low as he stared at the floor.

"I'm sor-"

I just cut him off. "C'mon, Jungkook. We're getting late. The media will start rumors if we don't appear normal at the recording. Now go and get ready"

He couldn't protest. So he just nodded his head and walked away while Jin oppa was also leaving for BigHit.

Jennie and I work under BigHit. And Jungkook is partnered with them after our wedding.

Maybe he was still not ready to end this marriage because he'd lose his partnership with more than fifty percent of the other companies if I divorce him.

Even if he doesn't treat me as his wife, he treats me as his friend so that it would be less awkward.

Yami, she has been Jungkook's girlfriend for about 3 years; and he has been married to me for 3 months.

A/n

The signature friendship lines are the ones I use with my soulmate. I call her Jack and she calls me Rose.
