"What I'm trying to say is, I can keep a secret, for as long as I like. I can take secrets to my grave." her tone lowers, their eye contact doesn't ease, "But I need you to promise me you'll do that too. Because if you do, we'll be okay. We'll be sa...

Raindrops coat his skin, wash his face, soak his hair. It's refreshing and cleansing. Something Jungkook enjoys, breathes much more easily on a rainy weather like this. Like a little kid, playing outside no matter the weather. Reminds him of innocent times in Busan, when he was still a little too young to do chores but old enough to spend his time alone. It rains a lot there so he got used to it at a very young age, never complained about it.
It also reminds him of Vivi, of course. What wouldn't remind him of her? Everything he sees, hears, feels, they all bring his mind back to Vivi. He's reminded of a certain conversation he had with her before summer. Before anything had really happened between them. When it was just her talkativeness and his work self, trying to understand each other.
He notices himself smiling while reminiscing that day. When she brought him soup to apologize and asked something about running the rain. She was so utterly curious while listening to him explain, her eyes bigger than plates and brighter than the moon. For a good reason he was unsure with how to talk to her, scared he was going to say something wrong. But those worries were useless. She understood his dry jokes, laughed so brightly, treated him perfectly normally.
How could he have stopped himself for falling for her? It's something he thinks about often, wonders if there was something that went wrong for him to do that. But no, surely not. She was just different. And when he really thinks about it, this is partly her fault as well. She just didn't know what to do with a bodyguard, didn't know she could just let him be and not care about him.
For several years Jungkook thought he was unbreakable. But then he met her. And a part of him wishes it wasn't her who broke him and his trust. Because now she has imperfections and he sees her as someone who can rip a heart apart wittingly.
Funny how he starts to run faster whenever he's thinking about her on his runs.
Jungkook reaches the straight unpaved road that leads to Vivi's mansion. He's not alone though. A black car is on the other end of it, driving towards the direction he's coming from, faster than what is allowed. Shielding his eyes, Jungkook tries to see who it is, even checks his digital watch to check the time because it's not possible for Chef Kim to be here yet at least for another hour.
It could be anyone. Vivi's father, a friend, though she barely has friends visiting her.
Jungkook quickly understands he doesn't have time to figure out who they are. The distance between them grows smaller and smaller and much to his surprise and disbelief, the car changes sides, clearly trying to aim at him. Speeding recklessly and water splashing everywhere as it hits puddles, Jungkook keeps his eyes on the car while deliberating on what to do. But with the speed that the car's travelling in, he doesn't have that many choices.
With a long leap, Jungkook jumps over the ditch that runs beside the road and into safety.
"What the hell?" he yells at the car as it speeds past him, his arms to the side in a questioning manner.
