The Story Of Us ✔️

Chapter 48

Flashback continues:
Areum ran into the mansion while tears rolled down her face continously. Her brothers who were leaving for work, noticed her and called her "Areum-ah, where are you running?" Taehyung asked but she didn't pay attention to his words and went to her room.

After reaching her room, Areum laid on her bed and started crying ugly. She didn't understood why Jungkook would hurt her like this, why he decided to play with her feelings, why did he break her heart, her trust. It was too much for her, her heart wasn't able to take all of this. So she started crying to let all her feelings out.

After 10 to 15 minutes of crying, Areum got up and wiped her tears harshly. "Why should I cry for some random person. I am not crying. He should be the one to cry as he hurt me. You shouldn't cry Areum, you are a strong girl. Yes! You are a strong girl" she gave confidence to herself and went inside the washroom to wash her face

As she splashed the cold water onto her face, fresh hot tears rolled down mixing with the cold water. "No, no. Don't cry" she mumbled again and splashed her face with water for few times before exiting the washroom.

She wiped her face and looked at the time. She could still go to the university but she didn't want to face Jungkook, so she decided not to attend the classes. She laid on the bed with sadness consuming her.

Few hours later, there was a knock on the door. Areum got up and opened the door to find Taehyung and Hoseok. "Oppa" she said with a low voice. Both of them could sense the sadness in her voice. "Can we come in?" Taehyung asked and Areum moved aside with a nod.

Taehyung and Hoseok shared a look. "Is everything alright dear? You look sad" Hoseok asked her softly. "Yes oppa, I am fine" she lied to them with a fake smile on her face. "Are you sure?" Taehyung asked to reassure himself and Areum gave a subtle nod to them. "So, why didn't you attend the classes?" Hoseok asked her. "I-I am on my periods. I am having a lot of stomach pain, so I decided not to go" she replied meekly but she wasn't lying. She indeed was on her periods.

"Okay, do you need anything? Sanitary pads, hot bag, pain killers, chocolates, ice-creams or anything else" Taehyung asked her. Areum let out a small giggle "No oppa, I have everything. I will ask you if I need anything" she said with a small smile. "Okay, take rest. We have some work at office, we will be leaving" Hoseok said and planted a soft kiss on her forehead. Taehyung did the same and both of them left the room.

Meanwhile, Jungkook went to his training ground to go to the gym. He had to release his anger somewhere, so he started abusing the sandbag. He started punching it without even wearing proper gloves, he was doing it with his bare hands. His knuckles started to hurt but that was his last concern. His pain was very less when compared to what he did to Areum.

15 to 20 minutes later, he stopped when the sand bag burst open. His knuckles were bleeding but he didn't care to treat them, he let the blood flow. But still, his anger wasn't cooling down. He body was filled with guilt and regret. He don't know whether he could forgive himself for that.

You might be wondering why both of them are having such a breakdown on such mall matter. It's only been few months they fell in love, so it shouldn't hurt, right? But no, it doesn't work like that. It doesn't matter if you are in love for days or months or years, it's the same. It gives the same kind of pain to everyone. That's how much they love each other.

Both of them spent their day with sorrow, guilt and regret.

Next day:
Areum got ready to go the university, she was doing it reluctantly but she had no other option. She doesn't want to face Jungkook but she also can't tell her brothers for a change of bodyguard for her. So she hardened her heart and went outside.
