krista's pov

I closed the door of our hotel room, knowing that my eyes are still bloated from tearing up. I leaned against the door, trying my best not to let my tears fall from my eyes. I cannot let Jungkook see me crying; or else he'd ask me the reason why I'm crying.

Unfortunately, I started to bawl out, becoming really emotional as the scenery from earlier kept on reapeting in my head. This really saddens me, knowing that I did something to Jin; making him more depressed. I became nosier as my tears started to fall out uncontrollably.

"Krista?" Jungkook muttered, his voice sounding very hoarse. I looked up to see him and it was obvious that he just woke up. My face literally woke him up as he literally widened my eyes and ran beside me. He knelt down and furrowed his eyebrows. He held my hand softly and gently as his other hand caressed my wet face. "Krista, tell me what happened."

"I-I'm sorry Jungkook," I cried, stuttering as I couldn't speak very well. I tried to cover my face but Jungkook is currently holding my hand tightly. He wiped my tears using his thumb and I could sense concern on his face.

"Krista," he mumbled softly, "please tell me what happened. I'm getting anxious."

"I-I saw Jin earlier, we had a talk, and," -I couldn't breathe well- "he told me he loves me all the time but he was too late for everything because he can't win me back. I- I don't know. Don't think I want him more than you! I already chose you and I have no regrets, okay?"

"I know that, Krista. I understand that you're crying because it's been a long time since you and Jin last talked and the first topic he came up to was his feelings back then. I completely understand his side though," he hummed. "But hey, Krista! That feeling will pass soon, I'm sure of it. For now, you'll get affected and sad but I'm sure in the future, you'll be over it soon."

I managed to smile a little and eventually hugged him, causing him to hug me back. I whispered through his ear, "I love you, Jungkook. I'm glad I chose you. Please don't leave me and don't go to the bar smelling like a girl and alcohol ever again."

"I promise you that, Krista. I'll be honest with you but I just drank, no girls intended. I managed to avoid them since they were trying to hook me up but I was thinking of you the whole time. Legit!" he exclaimed as he pulled away from the hug and raised his right hand as a sign of promise.

I smiled, knowing that he's really being honest with me. He's a boyfriend that I can trust, care, and a boyfriend that I can lean on.

"Krista, I love you so much, okay? I already promised you that I won't leave you right?" he beamed. "Cheer up. It saddens me a lot by seeing you cry."

I smiled in awe and hugged him tightly. I appreciate him for always being there for me despite our arguments. He hugged me back, acknowledging my presence.

"You know what?" he hummed, pulling away from the hug. "My grandmother already wants to see you. Would you like a visit?"

I grinned, both of us standing up. I nodded and said, "I would love to meet your grandmother."

We laughed and intertwined both of our hands. I leaned my forehead to his and inch by inch, our faces went nearer and our lips touched.

"Oh shit, don't kiss me!" Jungkook exclaimed, eventually pulled away from the kiss. I furrowed my eyebrows and felt sad. I started to question him. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet!"

I widened my eyes and suddenly laughed out loud. It took me a minute to prevent myself from laughing at his mistake. "You're too cute!"
