Lia came home in tears and quickly rushed to her room, ensuring she locked the door behind her.

Fuck, I'm such an idiot! I slammed my bag onto the bed, and everything went flying everywhere.

What the hell was I thinking? Did I really believe that a superstar like him would ever be into a nobody like me? Just some broke girl he's throwing a bone to?

I can't believe I actually let myself kiss him. I was a mess, crying like a baby and, hating myself and cursing my own stupidity for crossing that line.

From day one, he laid down the rules clearly, and Nicky was right. I should have been more careful.

Suddenly, Taehyung's voice echoed in my head like a broken record."What makes you think that a guy is interested in you when he's just being nice?

Taehyung was right! I guess I was way off base about their intentions.
Just because Jungkook and Taehyung are nice to me doesn't mean they are into me.

I can't even stand the thought of facing Jungkook again after this ridiculous mess. I plopped down on my bed, drowning in my own misery; it's a fact that I've got feelings for him, and they've been creeping up on me, but there's no way he could ever feel the same way about me.

I need to find a suitable place for myself soon so I won't be a bother to him anymore! I have to keep my distance from Jungkook for my own sake.

I got up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. I thought relaxing under the water would help me forget that embarrassing moment and clear my mind.

At last, I drifted off to sleep, and my thoughts quieted down completely, just like I had hoped for.

Jungkook got home around 4:30 a.m. He rushed to Lia's room but paused before knocking on the door. It was super quiet inside, and he figured it might be better to let her sleep and talk with her tomorrow instead.

He walked into his room, tossed his jacket onto the bed, and let out a deep sigh of frustration.

After he finished his shower and dressed, Jungkook headed to the kitchen. He filled a glass with water and glanced over at Lia's room. He felt really down and exhausted.

After returning to his room, he plopped down on a chair before his laptop and tilted his head back against the chair.

He shut his eyes and thought back to the night they had together. Memories flooded his mind, and even if he opened his eyes, it felt like everything would still be right there in front of him.

On the first day when he met Lia, Jungkook couldn't help but be captivated by her stunning green eyes, and then he learned more about her fun and kind personality.

He found that thoughts of her kept popping up in his mind, making it hard for him to focus on anything else.

He was at war with his thoughts, completely unsure of what to do or how to choose a path forward.

He slammed his hand on the table and let out a deep sigh. "What on earth is going on? Why do I keep avoiding my feelings?

Why did I distance myself from her when she's been so genuine with me? I can see that unique spark in her eyes when she looks at me.

Jungkook's thoughts swirled as he reflected on his actions and feelings.

He felt a pang of regret for not expressing his genuine emotions earlier."Why did I act like such a fool?" he wondered. "I've wanted to be close to her for a long time and hold and kiss her ."
