"You can't stop the fire inside me" JJK FF

Jungkook's Pov

It's been almost a week since Y/n has really talked to me. I can't help but wonder if it's because of that night, when I tried to kiss her or maybe because I didn't let her go. Whatever the reason, I feel a heavy guilt weighing on me. I was so angry that night, finding out she had someone in her life and never told us. If only she had told me, I would have tried to keep my feelings in check.

But the truth is, I love her. I love her so much that it feels like no one else could ever love her as deeply as I do. The hardest part is knowing she doesn't feel the same way. She likes someone else, and I think whatever happened that night made her hate me. As I sit here thinking about it, I realize a tear has escaped my eye. The pain of loving her and knowing she isn't mine is almost too much to bear.

"You okay, bro?" The sound of V hyung's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. He stood at the doorway of my room, concern etched on his face. We had just returned to the dorm after our concert. The performance had been good, but my mood was ruined because Y/n had been ignoring me the entire time. When we got back, I tried to talk to her, but she slammed the door in my face.

I sighed deeply, trying to brush off Hyung's concern. "I'm fine, Hyung," I muttered. "Then why are you crying?" he asked gently, not letting my deflection slide.

I turned away, unable to meet his eyes. He came over and sat beside me, draping an arm over my shoulder. "I saw how she was ignoring you today," he said softly. "Did something happen between you two?"

At his words, I couldn't hold back anymore. Tears streamed down my face as I broke down. "Hyung, I think she hates me," I confessed, my voice choked with emotion.

Hyung immediately wrapped me in a comforting hug. "Don't cry, Koo," he murmured. "I know she's angry, but she could never hate you."

His words were like a balm to my aching heart. I wiped my tears and looked at him, searching for reassurance.

"Koo," he continued, his voice steady and reassuring, "I don't know what happened between you two, but I know she doesn't hate you. No matter how angry she is, she cares about you. So don't cry. Apologize sincerely, and she will forgive you."

He gave me a warm smile, showing the hwaiting sign. "Now stop crying, come downstairs like a man, eat dinner, and then talk to Y/n. Tell her you're sorry, okay?" With that, he stood up and left the room, leaving me feeling a little lighter, a little more hopeful.

I came downstairs and saw Y/n already sitting on the couch. As I descended the stairs, Jin hyung yelled, "Dinner is ready! Everyone, come to the dining table!" I saw Y/n quickly get up and run towards the kitchen where Jin hyung was. There was something that caught my eye—she had something in her hand. Curious, I quietly followed her and started to eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Oppa, let me serve the food. I love serving it! You don't let me cook, so at least let me serve," she said in a cute voice that made hyung chuckle. He ruffled her hair and said, "Okay, fine, Princess." She smiled brightly at him.

"Princess? Since when did he start calling her that? And why is she smiling like that?" I thought, feeling a pang of jealousy. I shook my head and continued to watch them.

Hyung came out of the kitchen and noticed me lingering nearby. "What are you doing here, Kook? Go to the table," he said.

"Uh... water... bottle... I want water... from the fridge," I stammered, scrambling for an excuse to explain my presence. He nodded and walked away, and I released a sigh of relief before turning my attention back to Y/n, still unnoticed.
