As they reached the entrance to their building, Jin took a moment to gather his thoughts. He could feel Jungkook’s intense gaze on him, and it made his heart race in a different way. He wanted to scream, to cry, to let everything out. But he needed answers first.

Once inside, Jin stopped at the base of the stairs, feeling the familiar surface beneath his fingers. Jungkook stood beside him, anxiety radiating from his body like heat.

“Jin, please just listen to me,” Jungkook said, his voice breaking slightly. “I never meant for any of this to hurt you. The bet—it was supposed to be a way to change me, to make me feel something real. I didn’t realize how much you would mean to me.”

Jin clenched his fists, feeling the weight of Jungkook’s words. The conflict inside him was raging. “But why did it take pain for you to realize it?” he asked, his voice trembling slightly.

“Because I was blind to my own feelings,” Jungkook admitted, his honesty striking Jin like a blow. “It took seeing you hurt to understand what I had to lose. You’re not just a bet to me, Jin. You never were. I was an idiot for thinking I could control my feelings. I fell for you—hard.”

The sincerity in Jungkook's voice tugged at Jin's heart, and he felt the icy wall he had built around himself begin to crack. “I need to know you mean it, Jungkook,” Jin said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I need to hear you say it again.”

“Jin, I love you,” Jungkook said, his words pouring out like a confession. “I love you more than anything. I’d do anything to protect you, to keep you safe. I’m so sorry for what happened. I’ll make it right. Just please—don’t push me away.”

“Baby, listen...” Jungkook leaned closer, his voice soft and earnest as he gently held Jin’s hands in his own. Jin stood still, his heart racing as he prepared to absorb Jungkook's words. Deep down, he knew his feelings couldn’t be wrong. He needed to hear Jungkook say it—to affirm that what they had was real and not just a product of a bet.

“Let me explain everything from the beginning,” Jungkook continued, his gaze intense and sincere. “At first, it was just a bet. I didn’t have any interest in you beyond that. But from the moment we started spending time together, everything changed. You showed me how beautiful life can be when you truly connect with someone. It’s not just about seeing; it’s about feeling too.”

Jin listened intently, hanging onto Jungkook's every word, feeling a mixture of hope and trepidation. He wanted to believe this was the truth, that Jungkook had genuinely changed.

“For you, I’ve felt everything,” Jungkook continued, his voice trembling slightly with emotion. “I’ve experienced loss and love in a way I never thought possible. I used to hate those feelings—I pushed them away my whole life. But after meeting you, everything shifted. With this bet, I’ve lost so much... yet, I can’t help but feel grateful. I’ve lost my heart to you, and it’s the first bet I’m truly happy to have lost.”

Tears threatened to spill from Jin's eyes as Jungkook’s confession sank in. The weight of his words felt like a revelation, illuminating the darkness that had clouded Jin’s mind. It was more than he had hoped for, more than he had dared to dream.

“Jungkook...” Jin breathed, his voice barely above a whisper. “You mean it? You really feel that way?”

“More than anything,” Jungkook affirmed, his eyes shining with sincerity. “You’ve changed me, Jin. You’re the reason I want to be a better person. You’ve taught me that love isn’t a weakness; it’s a strength. I don’t want to be without you. I never want to lose you.”

Jin felt the warmth of Jungkook's hands wrapping around his heart, melting away the doubts and fears that had clung to him like shadows. For the first time in what felt like forever, he believed in the possibility of love—the kind that could heal and uplift.
