How Jungkook Has Fallen

I Can't Find Her

Looking earnestly at his hyung, he says, "If I hurt her in any way, I'm so sorry. It was not my intention." 

Hobi says, "I know, Kook, but you two need to talk." 

He says, "I can't face her after what I've done. I've taken her virginity!"

Hobi sighs, "You need to talk about what you both have done. I understand she didn't want to fall in love either. You both fought love, but love won. It was stronger than you both."

Jungkook thinks about what his hyung said. "You know how I feel about relationships." 

He pauses, rethinking what he is about to say, "I didn't feel like I was ready to commit to one person. But now I'm not so sure I can call myself an international playboy any longer."

 He runs his hands through his hair, pacing. "I mean, I have been with other women, but with Jelan, it was like nothing I've ever experienced before. "

Hobi smiles, "I understand and . . ." 

Jungkook interrupts, "UGH! I have no clue what I'm supposed to do. I've never felt for anyone the way I feel for her." 

Hobi softly says, "It's called love, Kooki. Love. It can be crazy, confusing, frustrating, and painful. Just look at Jin and Yoongi. They suffered for love, but look at what they have now. I have never seen Yoongi more contented since he has Poppy back in his life or Jin more sure of anything than Dani's love." 

Jungkook finally stops pacing and sits listening to Hobi.

 He continues, using the others as examples. "Look at Namjoon, always lost in his books, never expecting to find love until he almost lost it. Now he has his own real-life heroine in his life's story." 

He can tell Jungkook is taking in everything he says, so he continues, "Then there are Jimin and Taehyung. I don't need to tell you about them. You were there through it all with them."

Jungkook has been listening and thinking. He looks up at his hyung and says, "You're right. Love hasn't been easy for any of them, but I bet they would do it all again to have the love they have now."

 Hobi smiles, "I know I would. I never thought love could be so good. We have, all seven of us, fallen . . ." 

Jungkook finishes for him, "In love." 

He smiles at Jungkook, "You understand now?" 

Jungkook nods, "Yes, I believe I do. Thank you, hyung." He stands, and so does Hobi, and they hug. Breaking the hug, Hobi can tell Jungkook is lost, thinking over what he just told him.

Hobi smiles and pats Jungkook on the shoulder, breaking him out of his thoughts, and changes the subject to ease Jungkook's anxiety,

"I'm heading down to breakfast with Lilly and the girls. I've got to look after the expecting mommas."

"Jin is a nervous wreck and his mother hen tendencies are in overdrive. Nabi, Dani, Ailie, and my Lilly need a break from him."

Jungkook realizes his hyung is still talking. "Huh?"

Laughing, Hobi says, "I said I have to save the girls from Mother Jin. Then there is Namjoon. He keeps clued to Nabi's side, checking to see if she wants a pillow, a glass of water, a foot massage, pickles, and ice cream. Nabi needs a break more than the others as she is smothered by two mother hens." They both start laughing.

Hobi gives Jungkook another reassuring pat on the shoulder as he exits the door, "Talk to Jelan." He heads down the hall to rescue the ladies. 

Jungkook calls out to him, "I can't find her. I've been looking for her all morning." 

Hobi says, "She left for the lake house earlier."

Jungkook starts to walk away when Hobi calls back, "Would you mind picking up some extra banana milk for Lill to have at the house? She says the boys can't seem to get enough."

 Jungkook laughs, "No problem. I got it."

  "Thanks, Kooki."

They all had plans to meet up at the lake house estate after leaving the hotel. Hobi made sure everyone knew the others plans for what they were going to do before they got there and when they expected to reach the lake house estate for security reasons.

 After all that has happened everyone readily agreed that would be best.
