It was early morning, and Jungkook stood in the middle of a forest, the same from his dream. The memories of this forest still haunted him. He can never forget that day, no matter how hard he tries to forget it.

Jungkook looked around, and the past events flooded his mind, "You made me like this," he whispered, his voice shaky.

He paused, the memories of his Hyung's smile and his laugh flashing in his mind. A smile that once made him feel at ease.

"You took everything from me," he swallowed hard, the lump in his throat making it difficult to speak.

"You made me doubt everything, Hyung. You made me doubt myself," he continued, his voice barely above a whisper, "Am I not worthy of anyone's love? Can I ever trust anyone again?"

He thought of Taehyung- how that boy had been trying to get close to him, trying to break the walls he had built around himself.

"I don't know if I will ever be able to trust someone again," he said, his voice filled with sadness, "And that's because of you."

"I want to trust him, Hyung," Jungkook whispered, tears streaming down his face, "But how can I when I still can't forget the pain you left for me."

Jungkook was broken in many ways. He was just not mourning for the death of his Hyung but also for the person he used to be before everything happened.

"I'm scared he will betray me like you did," the tears continued to fall but he didn't bother to wipe them, "I'm afraid to care, afraid to trust others.

"I don't want to be like this anymore," he mumbled, "I too need people in my life. Is that too much to ask for?"

Jungkook stood there for some more time, crying his heart out. He gets this dream often, and always, all the memories are refreshed.

After a while, he turned to leave the forest. Today, he had to visit the royal palace. Even though he didn't care about the formalities, it was also not something he could avoid.

Jungkook took the turn to his castle as he had some records to look at first. Just as he was about to enter the castle, someone caught his eye.

Jury stood outside the castle. Her arms crossed as she leaned over a stone pillar. Jungkook was not surprised to see her there as she, most of the time, talked with him there only.

Jungkook thought to ignore her and walk by side but Jury was fast enough to block his way.

"Where have you been these days?" Jury said, her eyes narrowing.

Jungkook took a deep breath to calm himself, "And how should that concern you?"

Jury's lips curled into a smile, "We live under the same roof, so isn't it natural for me to ask you this question when I barely see you around."

"I said it shouldn't be your concern. Don't act like you care," Jungkook said.

Jury laughed, "Care? No, I just wonder what is keeping you busy... or should I say, who?"

Jungkook's expressions darkened immediately, realizing whom she was referring to, "Don't," he said in a cold voice.

Jury chuckled, "I can't ignore the prince's sudden interest in you and... yours also. Jeon Jungkook taking someone to show them the sunrise isn't what people expect... right?"

Jungkook clenched his fists, "Leave him out of this," he warned.

"I'm just curious. You seem to have a soft spot for him," she stated.
