"Where were you?" His dad asked just as he reached the living room.

Jungkook looked at him without any emotion. "I was with her." He answered honestly without any fear while Mr. Jeon got silent at his son's words. He didn't expect him to answer honestly even if he knew where he was already. "I don't want to lie to you." He stated.

"So... You already have chosen her?" He asked. Jungkook nodded when Mr. Jeon stood up from the couch. "You know the consequences, don't you?" He already had expected this result.

"I know that's why I have booked a morning flight for you to Italy."

Mr. Jeon frowned as he looked at his son. "What are you talking, son? A flight for me? Why?" He asked, taking a few steps closer to his son.

"Dad, I want you to leave this place. Seongmin had found about Y/N and me. I want your safety." He explained while Mr. Jeon hid his face in his hands.

"What about you?" He asked as Jungkook looked at his father.

"I will come tomorrow night." He stated as Mr. Jeon looked at his son.

He walked to him and held his hand. "Don't do anything wrong. You are a better person." He advised. Jungkook chuckled.

"I'm tired of pretending, dad. I'm not a good person. I was never free from my past. I was never healed and never quit my habits." The sadness in his eyes had Mr. Jeon take a step back. "Don't ask me to pretend. I can't. I had enough of playing a good son character. I'm not. I was always the rebellious." His words had Mr. Jeon's eyes filled with tears.

The sadness in his son's eyes broke his heart. "Don't ruin yourself again for that girl." He stated when Jungkook shaked his head.

"I would choose her and I know the consequences because It's not the liking. I love her." He confessed his feelings while Mr. Jeon sadly chuckled and looked up.

"I will pack my bags." He said turning around to leave.

"Thank you." His whisper was heard by his father as he nodded and walked to his room to pack his bags while Jungkook walked to his room.

The silence engulfed the house while the closed door hid their emotions behind them. It was so disturbing and painful yet no one could speak their words out. It hurt them. They were tired of pretending. Pretending to be good and pretending to be well off.

Jungkook entered his room and closed the door, resting his body against it. He didn't know how it ended like this but the thought of having her eased his mind as he closed his eyes, relishing the silence around him.

The silence that brought peace and her in his mind. He couldn't explain the fear of losing her. He didn't know when she became so important. Maybe it was the reality of him she accepted without judging him.

"Little Rose." He whispered her nickname that brought the smile on his face as he opened his eyes and walked to the bed. Sitting at the edge, he held the back of his shirt and pulled it off.

Throwing the shirt away, he lay down on his back and stared at the ceiling. The silence in his room was disturbed by the notification sound on his mobile as he picked it up and looked at the message. It was from her.

'Are you asleep?' It read as he smiled at the thought of her.

'No. I'm staring at the ceiling.' He answered, adjusting himself on the bed, resting against the headboard.

'Anything interesting?'

He thought for a second after reading her message before his fingers typed on the phone. 'Just thinking about you.' He truthfully answered.
