The Coincidence

EPISODE 5!!

AUTHOR POV:

Jungkook and Y/N are in a car, heading towards Y/N's home. The atmosphere is tense, with Jungkook driving silently and Y/N feeling the distance.

Y/N: [Breaking the silence, with a hint of annoyance] "You've been like this for a while now. What's your problem?"

Jungkook: [Eyes fixed on the road, voice sharp] "Problem? Maybe I'm just not in the mood for idle conversation."

Y/N: [Crosses her arms, looking out the window] "Oh, so now you're too good to talk to me? Is this about Felix? You seemed awfully bothered seeing us together."

Jungkook: [Gives her a sidelong glance, irritation evident] "It's not about Felix. It's about how you act like everything's fine while you're all chummy with him."

Y/N: [Turn to face him, voice rising] "And what's that supposed to mean? I'm allowed to have friends, you know."

Jungkook: [Pulls a tight smile] "Yeah, but friends don't usually get that close without giving someone else a reason to feel left out."

Y/N: [Her tone icy] "So, now you're saying I'm supposed to consider your feelings above my own? Maybe you're the one being unreasonable."

Jungkook: [His expression hardens] "Maybe I am. But it's hard not to be when you act like you don't care about how your actions affect me."

Y/N: [Leaning closer, voice low and challenging] "I care, but it's not my job to read your mind. If you have a problem, you should say something instead of being a sulking mess."

Jungkook: [Stops the car abruptly, turning to face her with intensity] "Fine. I don't like feeling like I'm just another person in your life when I thought we meant more to each other."

Y/N: [Taking a deep breath, softening slightly] "And I thought you'd trust me enough to talk about it instead of acting like I'm your enemy."

Jungkook: [Exhales, the tension easing slightly] "You're right. I shouldn't have acted like this. I just... I didn't want to seem weak or jealous."

Y/N: [Nods, still a bit frustrated but more understanding] "I get it. But we need to communicate if we're going to make this work. No more silent treatments."

Jungkook: [Nods back, voice softer but still with a hint of ego] "Alright. I'll work on it. But don't expect me to just forget it."

Y/N: [Smirks slightly] "And don't expect me to just let things slide without calling you out."

*The car is driving through a quiet street. The atmosphere is tense but interspersed with their usual playful banter.*

Jungkook: [Breaking the silence with a clipped tone] "We're almost there."

Y/N: [Eyes on the window, trying to keep her voice neutral] "Yeah, I noticed. No need to make it sound like we're on a race track."

Jungkook: [Glances at her with a smirk] "Well, if you're going to keep acting like you're in a soap opera, I might as well speed up."

Y/N: [Raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms] "Oh, is that how it is? Maybe I should just start narrating my life for you."

Jungkook: [Chuckles, though still frustrated] "Please don't. I already have enough drama without you adding to it."

Y/N: [Turns to him with a teasing smile] "I'm not the one making it dramatic. You're the one brooding in the driver's seat."

Jungkook: [Grins despite himself] "Brooding? I'm just trying not to crash from all this tension."

Y/N: [Feigns shock] "Oh, now you're blaming me for your driving skills? What's next, Jungkook? Are you going to accuse me of making your coffee taste bad?"

Jungkook: [Laughs softly, shaking his head] "Well, if you keep making those faces, I might just have to. They're worse than my morning coffee."

Y/N: [Smirks] "Good thing I'm not serving you breakfast. And for the record, Felix and I were just talking. It wasn't a romantic rendezvous."

Jungkook: [Looks at her, voice lightening] "Well, I didn't see any neon signs or fireworks, but you were pretty close. Next time, just let me know if you're planning to have a 'talk' with someone."

Y/N: [Laughs, nudging him playfully] "I'll make a note of it. But if you keep being so over-the-top, I might just have to start booking you in for drama lessons."

Jungkook: [Playfully defensive] "Oh, so now I'm a drama queen? That's rich coming from someone who turns every minor inconvenience into a full-blown crisis."

Y/N: [Grinning] "Touché. But seriously, we need to stop with the silent treatment and just talk things out."

Jungkook: [Nods, his tone softening but still with a hint of humor] "Alright. I'll try to be less of a drama queen. But don't expect me to stop teasing you."

Y/N: [Smiles, teasingly] "I wouldn't have it any other way. Just don't expect me to go easy on you."

Jungkook: [Grins] "Deal. We'll just keep this as our usual playful banter."

Y/N: [Nods, opening the car door] "Sounds good. See you around, Jungkook."

Jungkook: [Nods, with a smirk] "Yeah, see you, troublemaker."
