EPISODE-16: REGRET.

J E N N I E

"So, what happened next?" Namjoon asked, raising an eyebrow and leaning in like he was really curious.

"Honestly, I was kinda lost. Jungkook had laid it all out for me about his feelings, and I was just... a total mess, drowning in all these emotions. But deep down, I really wanted Taehyung to just be straight with me. I needed to hear it from him, you know?" I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

I was a whirlwind of confusion, and I couldn't believe I was spilling my guts to someone I barely knew.

Namjoon seemed like a chill dude, with sincere eyes and a warm smile, but that didn't shake the fact that I had major trust issues with guys after everything I'd been through.

"So, did he admitted it out loud?" Namjoon asked, clearly intrigued.

I let out a bittersweet laugh, laced with irony. "Hm, he didn't have to say anything, the regret in his eyes says it all."

"You told her everything, right?" he asked after a moment, standing there a bit stiffly. The tension was thick, and I couldn't shake the feeling that he might have seen our kiss.

I mean, it was Jungkook who kissed me, but it still felt way too personal.

And definitely it's not his business.

"Yeah," I said. "He did tell me everything," I replied with a bitterness that stung, taking a step closer to him.

"I just need to know one thing," i started, his eyes scanning around like he was dodging the heaviness of the moment. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my racing heart.

"What does love mean to you?" I finally asked.

He stared at me, surprise flashing in his eyes like I caught him off guard. It was obvious he didn't think I'd be so chill about it, but I pushed on, needing to know. "Was this some kind of game for you? Did you kick back and enjoy watching me trail around like a lost puppy? Did you even-oh my god, did you actually ever like me?"

I felt like I couldn't breathe, and hot tears were just about to spill over.

"Honestly, I don't have anything more to say to you. What's the point in arguing over something that's already happened?" I said, glancing at Jungkook, who was just standing there, taking it all in.

"I'm not gonna blame or yell at you guys for anything that went down. It's all on me. Seriously, I feel so silly and dumb," I admitted, one tear sneaking down my cheek, which I quickly wiped away, feeling embarrassed for being so open.

"Even my sister warned me, but I was way too stubborn to listen. I came here, all naïve, looking for a love that really wasn't there," I went on, feeling really heavy with regret.

Both of them just listened, heads down, avoiding my eyes like my words were too much to handle.

"So here I am, the one at fault. My careless choices led me here; it's the 21st century, right? It's kind of ridiculous to think a love story like Romeo and Juliet could exist outside of books," I chuckled bitterly.

"I've got nothing left to say to you, but I hope you both feel double the pain I went through," I said, my voice steady but heavy with feelings as I looked at them.

"From now on, don't you dare come near me! I really hope I never have to see your faces again, at least not until I leave this country for good."
