Chapter 40

Jungkook was silent and still for a long time before he moved his body. Lu Bancheng could barely make out his profile lying on the sofa in the dark.

After a long time, he finally cleared his throat and murmured to himself, "She left me before I could show her my love."

He paused before continuing, his voice hoarse, "I had decided to give her everything, but she left me. Do you know how scary it is for me to lose someone? But I still let myself fall in love with her. I don't even know her name. I've never seen her real face."

He covered his face with his hands and began breathing heavily. "Now I have nothing again."

Lu Bancheng looked solemnly at Jungkook in the dark for a long time before saying, "Don't be sad. You are still young. No one knows what's going to happen in the future. You'll meet a better girl and soon, too."

"No, I won't." He said distantly. With those three words, he quietly snuffled.

Lu Bancheng heard him but was not sure if he was actually crying. Every time Lu Bancheng held his breath to hear, Jungkook also seemed to be holding his breath.

When Jungkook eventually talked again, he sounded calm. "I will never meet another girl like her."

She is the most exquisite girl in the world.

No one could ever replace her.

I will never be able to find her, but never will I want another girl.

My heart-it's hers.

Thinking of this, Jungkook's eyes had become sore. The words from his mouth shook as he said, "Besides, I am not going to meet other girls."

He touched the corners of his eyes with his fingers and felt something moist. He was so shocked that his body went stiff. He said, "Bancheng, I can only imagine her in my fu-"

Before he fully pronounced "future," he stopped talking.

Lu Bancheng heard another quiet snuffling.

Is he crying?

Lu Bancheng tried to calm him. "Bro Jeon?"

He did not respond for some time but finally let out a "hmm." He sounded so casual that it seemed he didn't have a problem in the world.

Lu Bancheng heard rustling and looked up to see Jungkook standing up from the sofa in the dark.

Jungkook went into the bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Lu Bancheng assumed that he had gone into the bathroom to cry privately, but the bathroom door opened sooner than he expected.

The lights in the bathroom lit up the entire bedroom. All Lu Bancheng saw was Jungkook's cold face. Apart from his eyes being a little red, there was no trace of his crying at all, and even his voice was pretty normal. "It's getting late. Go back and have an early night. I'm a little tired, too."

Lu Bancheng stared at him for a moment, then lightly nodded his head, stood up, and left.

It wasn't until the sound of the Lu Bancheng's car had faded that Jungkook walked slowly to his bedside from the bathroom, lying down on his back on the bed.

The light in the bathroom lit up his face, making his eyes hurt a little bit. He raised his hand to block the light so that his eyes could feel a little more comfortable, but after a little while, he felt upset deep down.

His and her love story had begun in the early summer, when flowers had bloomed, while it had ended in the late autumn, when a frosty early snow had come.
