I Still Love You || Jikook

As I get older, my feelings for you do nothing but multiply.

"Do you seriously think I've been with someone else?" Jungkook asked, his voice a mere whisper, laced with hopelessness, desperation, longing and pain. So much pain.

Jimin stayed silent, words dying down in his throat, heart clenching at the prominent pain in Jungkook's voice, making him hang his head low in shame.

"Do you seriously think that I could even consider being with someone else? That I could ever fall in love with someone else, someone that wasn't you?" Jungkook said, his hands trembling, his breathing ragged as he pinned Jimin with his intense gaze.

"How dare you even think like that?" Jungkook's voice slightly rose in volume, making Jimin slightly flinch.

"How dare you think like that?" Jungkook repeated, walking closer to Jimin, an unbearable lump forming in his throat as he clenched his shaking hands into fists.

"How dare you think like that, when all I've ever known is you? When you're the only one I love more than anything? When you're the colour of my blood? When you're the object of all my desires? When you're the only thing I always think about? When you're the reason I breathe? When every fucking fibre of my body is devoted to you? When you're my first ever memory? When my heart aches for you because I can't have enough of you? When you're my world, my everything, my whole fucking life?.....how could you think that I could even lay my eyes on someone that's not you?.....why?...." Jungkook choked out, his tears flowing down uncontrollably, his entire chest aching painfully as he stood right infront of Jimin, keeping a hand-length distance between them.

Jimin had started sobbing somewhere along Jungkook's heart-wrenching confessions. His whole body was trembling, rocked by the force of his sobs and the tremendous intensity of his own longing and desperation. His hands were iching to be close to Jungkook, to hold him against his own body and never ever let go, whisper sweet nothings of comfort and reassurance in his ears, kiss all of his tears away.

But Jimin couldn't bring himself to, didn't have enough courage to speak about his true feelings and emotions. He never really had enough courage when it came to Jungkook. He had always been a coward. That was one of the main reasons why they had broken up.

"I'm not even my own person, Jimin.....how could I be?.....when my mind, my heart...my soul have always been yours? I belong to you Jimin, whether you believe it or not. I'm madly, hopelessly, deeply, irrevocably, desperately, unconditionally, completely in love with you Jimin. Yes, I'm still in love with you. Seven years apart from you couldn't erase my love for you. Hell, an entire eternity too doesn't have the power to make me stop loving you. We broke up, I know.....but I'm still in love with you. I couldn't ever stop. I still love you just the same, if not more. Always have, always will." Jungkook's voice cracked multiple times in between, but he still kept it firm and sincere. His lips were trembling, his tears flowing continuously as he watched Jimin sobbing painfully infront of him. The sight of Jimin in pain tugged at Jungkook's heart, his breath getting caught in his throat. He desperately wanted to engulf Jimin in a tight hug and kiss all his pain away. But Jungkook doubted if he even had the right to do that anymore.

Jungkook, feeling miserable and helpless, just bowed his head as he shut his eyes, not being able to see Jimin crying. His own tears flowed, his heart throbing in pain as he tried to gulp down the lump in his throat. He finally surrendered to his emotions and sobbed. He sobbed like he had done when he had told Jimin to break up with him. He screamed and cried, allowing all the pent-up pain and heartache of seven years to come out.
