TRAGEDY OF PAST || JJK. FF || FT. KTH

AUTHOR POV :-

"Can we talk?" Jungkook's words hung in the air, and he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions himself. As Y/n lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, he could see the turmoil she was going through. Her body language, the slight tremor in her voice – they all spoke volumes.

He sat down, taking in the sight of his employee, someone who had always been diligent and honest in her work. He had seen Y/n as a model employee, and the events of the previous day had blindsided him. His frustration from that day was still lingering, but now, a new emotion crept in: regret.

He realized that he had allowed his anger to cloud his judgment. He had jumped to conclusions without giving Y/n a chance to explain herself. It wasn't like him to react that way, especially in a professional setting.

Watching Y/n struggle with her emotions, Jungkook couldn't help but reflect on his own actions. He knew he had made a mistake. It wasn't just about apologizing; it was about acknowledging that he had been wrong. He had to mend not only his relationship with Y/n but also his own principles of fairness and understanding.

He cleared his throat, his voice gentle as he spoke again. "I wanted to apologize for my reaction yesterday. I realize now that I let my anger cloud my judgment."

Y/n finally looked up at him, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. He could see the relief in her expression, mixed with gratitude. Jungkook felt a sense of humility wash over him. It wasn't easy to admit one's mistakes, especially for someone in his position.

"I should have given you a chance to explain," he continued, his voice filled with sincerity. "And for that, I'm sorry."

Jungkook's apology had barely left his lips when he noticed Y/n's reaction. Her shoulders trembled, and the soft sound of her crying reached his ears. He was taken aback, surprised by the intensity of her emotions.

"Y/n?" Jungkook's voice softened.

Y/n couldn't contain her tears any longer. The weight of the previous day's events, coupled with the relief of Jungkook's unexpected apology, had overwhelmed her. She felt a mixture of emotions – gratitude, relief, and a sense of forgiveness that she hadn't expected.

"I'm so sorry," Y/n managed to choke out between sobs. "I didn't mean to... I didn't want to lie to you, Sir!"

Jungkook's brow furrowed with empathy. He hadn't expected such a strong reaction from her. "It's okay, Y/n. Please don't cry."

But Y/n couldn't stop the tears from flowing. They were tears of release, a culmination of pent-up emotions from the events of the past day. She felt vulnerable, exposed, but at the same time, she felt like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

"I promise I'll do better," Jungkook reassured her, his voice filled with sincerity. "I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."

Jungkook could still see the traces of tears in Y/n's eyes as their gaze locked onto each other. The weight of the past day's events hung heavily between them, but there was also something else in the air – a sense of understanding and a desire to move forward.

"Y/n," Jungkook began softly, his voice filled with sincerity, "I truly didn't mean to upset you that much. My reaction was out of line."

Y/n's tears continued to fall, and she made no attempt to respond. Her gaze remained fixed on him, her eyes filled with a mixture of hurt, confusion, and sorrow. She didn't trust herself to speak, fearing that her voice would betray the fragility of her emotions.

"I can't apologize enough for how I treated you yesterday. It was unforgivable, and I regret it deeply. I should have never doubted you, and I should have trusted you more."

Y/n continued to look at him, her tears slowly subsiding, but her eyes still holding a flicker of pain. She listened to his apology, the weight of his words sinking in.

"I know I hurt you," he continued, his voice filled with remorse. "I was angry and frustrated, but that's no excuse for my behavior. You didn't deserve that."

Silence hung in the air for a moment as Y/n processed his words. Her gaze remained fixed on him, searching for sincerity in his eyes, and she found it.

"Please, forgive me!"

Jungkook eyes was soft and mix of regret, He reached out, hesitating for a moment before gently wiping away a tear from her cheek with his thumb. The contact was tender, a silent plea for forgiveness and understanding.

She look into his eyes with her teary eyes.

Their eyes locked, and in that shared gaze, a multitude of unspoken emotions swirled. Jungkook's regret and guilt were mirrored in Y/n's tearful gaze. He wished he could turn back time, wished he could undo the hurt he had caused her.

The silence in the room was thick, filled with unspoken sentiments and unaddressed questions. It was a silence that begged for resolution, for understanding, and for a way forward. Neither of them knew how to break this fragile moment, where emotions lingered on the precipice of something significant.

Jungkook's mansion was a quiet retreat from the bustling city, and he relished the tranquility it provided. After his shower, he emerged from the bathroom, his toned physique glistening slightly from the water droplets. A white towel hung loosely around his waist as he made his way to the walk-in closet.

The room was spacious, filled with an impressive collection of suits, casual wear, and sportswear. Jungkook, with his impeccable sense of style, took a moment to select his attire for the evening. He settled on a simple yet well-fitted black t-shirt and sweatpants.

As he dressed, his mind occasionally wandered back to the events of the today, particularly the interactions with Y/n.

Lying in the darkness of his bedroom, Jungkook couldn't escape the persistent memories of the day, specifically the moments he had shared with Y/n. The weight of those encounters seemed to linger in the air around him, refusing to be cast aside.

He tossed and turned, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions. The image of Y/n's tear-filled eyes was seared into his memory, and he couldn't help but wonder what had brought about such vulnerability in her. She had always presented herself as strong and capable, and yet, there was a side of her he had glimpsed today that was entirely different.

The innocence in her expression had tugged at his heartstrings. It was as if, for a brief moment, the layers of professionalism had melted away, revealing a more authentic Y/n. The way she had looked at him had left an imprint on his soul, an imprint he couldn't easily forget.

Each conversation, every moment they had shared, seemed to be etched in his memory. It was strange, he thought, how someone he had once seen as merely an employee had now become a person of significance in his life.

He paused by a large window that overlooked the cityscape below. The city lights shimmered like stars against the night sky, and in that quiet moment, Jungkook found himself reflecting on the complexity of his emotions. It wasn't just admiration for her work ethic or respect for her dedication; it was something more profound, something he hadn't anticipated.

With a mixture of wonder and uncertainty, Jungkook whispered softly to himself, "I'm in love?"

Smile appear on his face.

The realization hung in the air, both surprising and profound. He had always been focused on his career, never allowing personal emotions to sway him. But now, he stood on the precipice of something new, something that felt both exciting and daunting.

Jungkook couldn't deny that Y/n had captured his attention and his heart in a way that no one else ever had. As he continued to ponder this newfound sentiment, he knew that he was embarking on a journey filled with questions, uncertainties, and the potential for a love that could transform his life in ways he had never imagined.
