The kiss between us deepened, my hands tangled in Jungkook's hair as he held me close, the world outside fading into nothing. It was everything I had been avoiding, everything I thought I shouldn't want but did, more than anything.

But just as the moment intensified, Jk's phone buzzed in his pocket, vibrating against us. He groaned softly against my lips but didn't pull away immediately, his hand tightening its grip on my waist.

Then, the buzzing continued.

With an irritated sigh, Jungkook broke the kiss, pulling his phone out of his pocket and glancing at the screen. His expression shifted instantly what was frustration became hesitation, then guilt.

"It's her," he muttered under his breath, his voice tight.

I froze, my heart dropping as reality came crashing back. "Her," of course, meant his girlfriend. The one he was still with. The one I had tried to ignore but could never fully forget about.

Jk hesitated for a moment, then answered the call, standing up from the bed and moving a few steps away, though I could still hear his low voice as he spoke.

"Hey... yeah, I'm here... no, I'm fine. What's going on?"

I sat there, watching him, a sinking feeling in my chest as I listened to the one-sided conversation. Jk's tone was soft, gentle nothing like the intensity he'd just shared with me. My hands balled into fists as I fought back the wave of frustration rising inside me.

"Yeah... okay... I'll be there soon," Jungkook said, his voice steady, but there was a tension in his posture that I couldn't ignore. He ended the call and stood there for a moment, his back to me, like he was gathering himself.

When he finally turned around, his expression was conflicted. "I have to go," he said quietly, his voice filled with an apology he hadn't yet spoken.

I stood up, my frustration boiling over. "You have to go? After everything that just happened?"

Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck, clearly torn. "It's not what you think. She... she's going through a lot. She needs me."

My jaw tightened. "She needs you? Jungkook, what about us? What about what just happened?"

Jk stepped closer, reaching for my hand, but I pulled away, the sting of his words cutting deep. "It's complicated," he said, his voice pleading. "She doesn't have anyone else. She's an orphan her parents died when she was young. I'm all she has."

I blinked, taken aback by the information. I hadn't known that about his girlfriend. The knowledge made my anger falter, but only for a second. It didn't change the fact that he was still with her. That he was here with me, kissing me, while she was out there somewhere, waiting for him.

"That doesn't change the fact that you're with her and kissing me," I said, my voice sharp. "I can't keep doing this, Jungkook. If you're not going to break up with her, then I don't see how we can....."

"Just give me time," Jk interrupted, his tone desperate. "I'll figure it out. She's not in a good place right now, and I can't just leave her. Not like this."

I clenched my fists, the anger rising again. "So what, I'm supposed to just wait around for you to figure things out while you play both sides? That's not fair, Jungkook."

Jk stepped closer, his eyes filled with guilt and frustration. "I don't want to hurt anyone. I didn't mean for any of this to happen."

"Well, it did happen," I shot back, my voice rising. "And now I'm telling you if you don't break up with her, I'm done. I'll walk away, and I'll be with someone who doesn't need to 'figure things out.' Maybe I'll go with Taehyung. He's been nothing but good to me."

The moment the words left my mouth, I saw Jk's expression shift. His jaw clenched, his eyes darkening with anger. "Taehyung?" he repeated, his voice low and dangerous. "You'd seriously go with Taehyung? After everything between us?"

I crossed my arms, holding my ground. "Maybe I would. At least he knows what he wants. He doesn't have to juggle me and another girl."

Jungkook's anger flared, his eyes blazing as he took a step closer, towering over me. "Don't you dare use him against me. You think Taehyung can give you what I can? You think I'll just stand by and let you be with him?"

I could feel the heat of his anger, the tension between us escalating. "If you don't break up with her," I said, my voice steady despite the storm inside me, "then yes. I will. I'm not going to wait around while you keep stringing both of us along."

Jk's fists clenched at his sides, his breath coming in sharp, angry bursts. "You don't know what you're saying," he growled, stepping even closer until we were inches apart. "You think you can walk away from this? From us?"

I met his gaze head-on, my heart pounding in my chest. "If you don't end things with her, then I don't have a choice."

For a moment, we stood there, the tension between us crackling like a live wire. Jk's eyes bore into mine, full of anger, frustration, and something else something deeper, more painful. He was fighting it, fighting me, but I knew he understood what I was saying.

"You think Tae will make you happy?" Jk asked, his voice softer now, though the edge was still there. "You think it'll be that easy?"

"It's not about being easy," I said, my voice softening too. "It's about being honest. And right now, you're not being honest with either of us."

Jk's anger faltered, replaced by something heavier guilt, maybe, or regret. He looked away, his jaw clenched, and for a moment, I thought he might say something, something that would change everything.

But then, his phone buzzed again, breaking the silence. Jungkook glanced at the screen, his expression hardening.

"I need time," he said, his voice low and strained. "Just... give me time."

I swallowed the lump in my throat, feeling the weight of his words settle between us. "I'm not going to wait forever, Jungkook."

He didn't respond, his eyes focused on the phone in his hand. And in that moment, I knew that whatever we had, whatever this was it was hanging by a thin thread.

Without another word, Jk turned and walked out of the room, leaving me standing there, torn between the feelings I couldn't deny and the reality that we were both too scared to face.
