I woke up when my alarm blared, today was Saturday but Jungkook had chosen a new client recently, he would spend all his time with them and last night he had been attending an event which meant he wasn't able to come spend the night with me.
I heard my phone buzz uncontrollably and found it weird, I had already turned off the alarm. I saw I had an enormous amount of texts from a wide variety of people going from my parents, to my friends and agent.
"What?" My mind was still foggy and half asleep but the screenshot Namjoon sent woke me up.
"News break, famous actors Park Bogum and Kim Taehyung have reportedly broken up after being together for three years" I whisper and put the phone down.
I knew it was only a matter of time before the press found out, but I still wasn't ready to face the storm this news was bound to bring. What should I do first? Should I tell Jungkook? I didn't want to disturb him at work. Should I call my manager? What about Bogum?
I had about ten missed calls but I didn't feel like calling anyone back. Knowing my bubble had burst was hard but at least I found comfort in knowing Jungkook's involvement still hadn't been noticed or divulged. After I showered and got dressed there was a persistent knock on my door, when I went to open I found myself in front of a small women, Heejin wore a simple white, long sleeved blouse tucked in her black, jeans and her hair was cascading down on her shoulders, her new bangs slightly covering her eyes.
"You're back from Italy!"
"You're single?!?!?" She pushed past me and walked over to my living room.
"Hold on, how did you find out where I live?? I never even told you I moved??"
"I take offense, Tae. You know I can find out anything"
"Except that I left Bogum" I whispered and burst out laughing when she threw me a pillow.
"You left him?? Why? What happened?"
I made her sit down and brought her a glass of ginger ale.
"It was time, Heejin. I'd been miserable in that relationship for some time now and I finally musterded the courage to leave"
"B-but, I don't understand" She put down her glass and looked straight into my eyes. "I thought you were happy, Tae?"
"I was until I wasn't-"
"What does that even mean???"
"I fell in love" I breathed out and watched my friend freeze, her mouth slightly agape.
"Jungkook? You left Bogum for Jungkook?"
"To put it simply, yes. But I did it for me, I did it because I wasn't happy anymore! Do you think I should have stayed with Bogum out of obligation even though I didn't love him anymore?"
"H-how could you stop loving him from one day to another? I don't understand..."
"It wasn't one day to another, Jinnie. For months I felt I was distancing myself from Bogum-"
"But Jungkook? Did you know you had feelings for him since the start?"
"No, I didn't. I swear"
"Oh god, I brought him back into your life, I'm the reason you and Bogum broke up"
"No!" Taking her hands in mine, I shake my head. "This isn't your fault, Heejin. Don't think like that, okay?"
She nodded her head and we stayed quiet for some time.
Once the initial shock and dramatic explanation was over, she asked me some questions about my relationship with Jungkook and if I had liked gossiping I would have dove into the details of how wonderful it was, but I stayed within the lines of "I'm happy" and "he's a really good guy".
In the end, I had gotten so distracted with Heejin that I had completely forgotten about the news of my breakup. Once my friend left, I started calling back some people and answering a few text messages, I checked once more but nothing from Jungkook, did he not know? Impossible. Was he mad? I doubted it, we knew this would happen and he assured me it was fine. I hesitated about calling him but in the end, he never picked up.
I looked outside my window and saw a crowd of reporters, guess my address had leaked. I cursed under my breath, I really hated reporters...
Since I didn't have anything to do on the outside either way, I read my line and worked out for a while, I really wanted to keep in shape so I switched between gym workouts and home yoga exercises. Jungkook would make fun of me whenever I did yoga all because he could bench twice the amount that I could barely lift and it wasn't until I had surprised him in bed with my flexibility that he stopped the mocking.
At five pm I heard the door open and swung my head by the doorway of my office to see a black haired head appear. Joy filled me completely as I went to greet my boyfriend.
"Were you able to pass by the sea of reporters?" I ask and play with the collar of his shirt, his arms wrapping loosely around my lower back.
"I'm a nobody so they didn't mind me"
"Wait until they find out... You'll be running for your life" I pout and let go of him, I knew sooner or later those rascals would be chasing Jungkook around.
"I don't care, I won't say anything"
"Yeah but it's going to be bad for your business, how's a bodyguard supposed to protect a client from the masses if he himself is getting mobbed..."
"I'll figure something out" He tucked on my arms before pecking my lips, making me smile.
I told him Heejin had been by and that she knew about us now which explained why she had tried to reach Jungkook several times during the day but the boy hadn't answered since he was working. I let Jungkook work for a few more hours, he had to finish a report about an altercation that had happened today with crazy fans who had tried to approach his client a bit too fiercely.
When he was done, we cooked dinner together, it was something I had insisted on doing since Jungkook had the bad habit of always ordering his food. He would justify his actions by saying he was helping the economy and the delivery applications/workers but I wouldn't let that fly. When we were at his house we would eat by his rules but if he stayed the night we would cook dinner together and sit at the table and not in front of the TV.
Once dinner was over, we flipped a coin to see who had to do the dishes while the other was in charge of finding a movie to watch.
"Let's get ready for bed" Jungkook turned off the TV but I didn't move from being curled up next to him. "Did you fall asleep?" He asked in a soft voice to which I shook my head no.
"I'm tired but I don't want to move, I like it here" I mumble and keep my eyes closed, I never wanted this moment to end.
"We can stay a bit more" I felt a hand trace my cheek before going to rest on top of my head.
With my body covered under the blanket and my head comfortably resting on Jungkook's toned chest, I could feel myself slipping away into a light slumber. I hadn't felt so at peace in a long time which made me appreciate the feeling even more. I really considered myself lucky and every time that happened, it reinforced my belief that I made the right choice by choosing Jungkook, he had always been the right one for me.
I eventually opened my eyes and followed Jungkook to the bathroom to get ready for bed, I brushed my teeth and took a shower before slipping into my pyjamas and joining him under the covers. I laid on my right side, his arms snaking around my waist bringing me closer to him until I could feel his warm breathing on the back of my neck.
"Goodnight, I love you"
"Love you too, Tae" I felt a kiss on the nape of my neck and smiled, tightening his embrace, quickly falling asleep safe between his arms.
