Jungkook was walking in the park listening to music after coming back from work when he saw y/n, she was his class fellow back in college. He frowned, once a glamorous and rich girl seemed lost, sick and dull now.
She had a shawl around her, her hair tied in a lose pony tail, her face bare from makeup, she had lost all the glow. Her eyes were blank as she stared blankly.
Jungkook used to have a huge crush on her but they never talked, heck she might have never noticed him. They had a few classes together, she was popular and always surrounded by friends and admirers she remained unknown to.
Jungkook was poor back then and he had thought she would never notice him, so he always admired her from afar, he didn't want to get distracted from his path and studied hard to get a nice job as an architect in a big company but he always remembered her. No girl really attracted him more than her but he knew she was out of his league.
He hesitated whether to go see her or not. What if she refused to remember him? Or why would she talk to him?
He sighed and decided to atleast give it a try, he carefully walked to her and waited until she noticed him but she was zoned out.
"Hey?" He finally said and she flinched when she saw him and frowned. So she didn't remember him."I am Jungkook, we went to college together. We had a few classes together." He said and after a few seconds she recognized him and nodded.
"Hi." She said uninterested, too drowned in her own misery. He sighed.
"Mind if I sit?" He asked and she didn't say anything and he took it as a yes. He sat beside her and remained silent, not knowing how to initiate any conversation further."Are you alright?" He finally asked and she just nodded."You have changed. Your style, your aura and your personality." He said.
She used to be vibrant, a classy girl with a friendly aura and now she seemed indifferent and sad.
"I am fine." She covered herself in the shawl as the wind passed through her. He noticed her shiver slightly and he took off his jacket and made her wear it."I don't need it." She tried to remove it but he cut her off.
"No please. You are cold. I don't need it." He said tapping his foot on the ground already feeling cold. She just looked at him and didn't say anything.
"So? What did you become?" She asked after a long pause."You were quite an achiever academically." She added and he looked at her. So she noticed him? He used to doubt that, he felt happy that SHE was acknowledging his achievements.
"Yeah, became an architect. I work in a nice company and earn more than enough." He replied and she shortly smiled and nodded."So? Umm......what about you?" He asked nervously and she seemed to zone out again."Y/n?" He called her out and she shortly smiled.
"Nothing, dad died and I got married to his business partner's son as the contract said." She replied looking ahead.
His heart broke. So she was married? And not even to someone she loved or wanted? But because of a stupid contract? Right after her father's death. Her mother was already out of the picture. So she was completely alone?
"Oh um..." He didn't know what to say.
"I will go. See you later. It was nice meeting you. You have come a long way." She appreciated him and walked off.
Jungkook looked at her back. Was it just him or she was truly despaired and unhappy? He might have not been that hurt if she had married someone she loved.

Y/n was sitting on the couch curled up, it was her 3rd miscarriage, Taehyung, her husband wanted an heir and he was emotionally and mentally abusive which was taking a toll on her. She wanted to please him by giving him a child thinking that maybe then he will start treating her nicely if he got what he wanted.
