It has been many days since Jungkook and Sarina went on a coffee date. After that day, they started meeting less because Jungkook was busy shooting for BTS New song of 'Boy with Love ",

Jungkook stared blankly at his computer screen, the lines of code a meaningless jumble before his eyes. Sarina's words played on repeat in his head, their significance weighing heavily on his thoughts. 'Because of you, I went out after years."

Mid-conversation about Sarina, a warm hand landed on Jungkook's shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. A voice from behind asked, 'Are you lost today? Instead of work, your mind seems to be somewhere else." Kim taehyung asked? "
"'Lost? No, not lost exactly,' Jungkook replied with a rueful smile, subtly shrugging off the hand on his shoulder. 'Just... distracted. You know how it is, some days the code refuses to make sense, and I end up chasing my own thoughts instead.'"
"'Is that so?' kim taehyung (V) raised an eyebrow Skepticically, 'You know you can't hide anything from me, Jungkook. Come on, spill.'"He leaned in, lowering his voice conspiratorially, 'Hey, is it because of the new song?"
"Jungkook sighed internally, wishing he could confide in his colleague about Sarina. Instead, he deflected, 'Nah, man. I was just thinking about our upcoming release, 'Boy With Luv'. I hope ARMY will like it, you know?'"

Kim taehyung clapped him on the shoulder, "You're overthinking it again, Jungkook. ARMY will love it, just like they always do. You worry too much. Is there something else bothering you?" His gaze was piercing, full of unspoken questions.

"'Not really,' Jungkook fibbed, forcing a grin. 'I'm just... eager for the release, that's all.' His mind was indeed filled, but not with worries about the song. Instead, it was a swirl of thoughts about sarina - her smile, her laugh, her courage."

taehyung grinned mischievously, pulling him into a quick, bone-crushing hug. "Alright, alright, keep your secrets. I'll see you at the photoshoot later, yeah?" With that, he sauntered away, leaving Jungkook to his whirling thoughts of Sarina.

Meanwhile:-
Sarina, absorbed in her work at the quaint little florist shop, couldn't help but hum a soft tune under her breath. The rhythm and words played in her head like a secret love letter to Jungkook,
Yumi carefully arranged a bouquet of vibrant roses, their deep crimson petals seeming to mirror the blush that often crept across her cheeks when she thought of Jungkook. Each stem she selected and placed was a deliberate choice, much like how she carefully nurtured the tender feelings blossoming in her heart.

Her phone trilled softly on the counter, startling her out of her reverie. Glancing at the screen, she saw Hana's name and answered, trying to keep her voice steady. "'Hey, Hana. How's work?'"

"'Mmhm, it's been good,' sarina responded noncommittally, turning to mist the delicate blooms. 'Just another day, really.' She bit her tongue to stop herself from confiding in her best friend, yearning to share her secret world with Jungkook."
Sarina's heart raced at Hana's words, realizing how her avoidance of social media and video calls might seem suspicious. "'Oh, I just haven't been in the mood lately,' she said quickly, hoping her voice sounded casual. 'You know how it is, sometimes I need a break from all that noise.'"

"'Listen to me, Sarina,' Hana's voice softened but remained firm. 'That chapter of your life is over. It's been a whole year since he hurt you like that. Don't you think it's time to stop living in fear of a man who never deserved you in the first place?" e

Sarina inhaled sharply, her friend's words piercing through her guarded exterior. Tears prickled at the corners of her eyes as she whispered, "'You're right, Hana. I've let fear control me for too long.'" She straightened her shoulders, resolve hardening within her.
Hana's voice was a gentle breeze on a summer day, soothing and calming. Her words wrapped around Sarina like a warm blanket, providing comfort and solace. "You know, Sarina, not all men are like your ex-boyfriend," she said, her eyes filled with understanding and empathy,
"You'll see the world, experience new things, and only then will someone new come into your heart," Hana continued, her tone soft but firm. As she spoke, the sunlight filtering through the window seemed to brighten, casting a warm glow over Sarina's face,she felt a flutter of hope bloom in her chest as Hana's words sank in. Tears welling up in her eyes, she whispered,
"I... I think you're right
"Hana's advice, though well-meant, left Sarina feeling unanchored. Before she knew it, her mind was filled with memories of Jungkook - the man who'd once proven that not all men were like her toxic ex, and that love could be tender, kind, and genuine."
Sarina's eyes unfocused as she lost herself in thought, Jungkook's face materializing in her mind's eye. "You're right," she murmured, more to herself than to Hana. "I can't keep hiding in the shadows of my past."
