Jungkook pov

" I haven't forgotten you, I could never do that to you. It's just I chose to be heartless. "

Finally I let go of my insecurities and worries as I gathered up my courage to speak up today, because if it's not today, then I won't be able to do it forever.
I could see that she was taken aback, more like she's so shocked to hear something like this from me. Well, I will be surprised if she didn't give such a reaction. I stepped closer and could see her face more clearly which blessed my eyes. It was still raining outside and the light from the nearby pole shone into the Hall which made her side profile brighter than the room.

The moment our eyes met, all I could feel was to enjoy the bliss. I never thought I will get such a moment with her. I stepped more closer to her such that there was only a finger distance between us which reminded me of her "one arm distance'. I slightly smiled because that rule still do leave an impact in me, because I always wanted to disobey her rule and make her mad.

I could see her eyes getting moist as she whispered, " M- Mr. Jeon—"

"Nayna, there's only a thin line between you and me.. "

She whispered, "Mr. Jeon, things have changed a lot now, I'm trying to move on since years and—

I didn't want to hear such words from her, atleast not now, so I interrupted her, "but why am I falling for you desperately? The answer lies in your heart. "

She wiped her tears as she uttered again, " M-Mr. Jeon—"

"For God's sake, let me complete and it's Jungkook", her gaze on me got stronger as I said, " I've always missed you, your smiles, your talks, your anger, everything about you added life to my stale life. I know I am a jerk and did things which you deserve an apology from my side."

I stood more close to her as our breathes mingled. I reached out my hand towards hers that hung freely and held her warm and soft hands. I felt special because this touch was warm, filled with love. How I wished to have held her hands long back rather than choosing to remain a jerk.
I softly intertwined my fingers with her slender ones as she let me and I couldn't help but look down at our intertwined hands. I have always imagined this in my mind and finally when it happened, I didn't want to remove my gaze from our hands because her small hands were like a mould to my big ones.

Only her hand moulded perfectly with mine just as a lock and key. I captured this in my mind and looked up at her and in that process, our noses touched. I moved my head back to make her comfortable as I swallowed my urge to kiss her. I continued, "you were always in my heart and there haven't been a day when I didn't think about you. Two years in London felt like eternity and my heart longing to meet you was something I couldn't digest. And, all thanks to Jimin. He did a lot to cheer me up, he was like an angel beside me. He gave me the hope and told things about you. Even though I appeared not interested, he knew that deep down I wanted to have a glance of you and wanted to hear your voice. So whenever you called, he would keep the phone on speaker. "

I tucked her hair behind her ear softly as I said, "and Cathy is just someone who accidentally became my friend. She's nice but sometimes annoying. So never think that I have something towards her because I left my heart years back with you and forgot to take it back the day I flew to London. "

She chuckled lightly as she bit her lips and looked down to hide her tears. I didn't want to make her cry especially when I'm opening up, so I softly wiped her tears away as I cupped her cheeks and said, "I'm sorry that you had to go through a lot in my absence. I'm sorry that I was a jerk. I wasn't in my right mind because many things were not good between me and my parents. Everything happened against my plans and the inner battle whether to complete my goal, or to be with you and parents were something I couldn't take at a delicate age of 22. Jimin made me understand that I have to achieve my goal to be worthy of standing in front of you and especially my parents with my head held high. "
