"I love you...take care of yourself."

Tajh's eyes narrowed at that. Concern filled her insides as she felt her boyfriend's lips contacted the top of her head. Seeing as he moved away and out the door, the woman stood in her spot, watching the way his back muscles seemed to tense up in his shirt.

"Helic, wait."

He didn't wait. He walked disappeared from the porch of the dorm as he went to search for his vehicle.

For some reason, Tajh felt tears at her eyes. None of this seemed right. None of it.

There was something Helic wasn't telling her and it didn't seem fitting to watch him leave. Something within her screamed for her to run after him. To run and form away from the threshold that held her back. Blinking back tears, Tajh did it. She ran.

She ran out of the house, making it her mission to forcefully get in the car if she had to. Whatever it took to get answers, she was willing to put herself on the line.

"Helic, what is going on?!" she chimed, slamming the door behind her as her bare legs felt chilled the moment she walked out into the London air.

She froze, eyes cascading over cars before her. It took her a moment, but she eventually found her boyfriend sadly getting into his car. Jaw clenching, she was determined. She continued running.

"Helic!"

It was surprise to both Helic and Tajh how fast the woman could run towards the car and get into the car. She even beat him from locking the doors before her sneak in.

"Tajh, get out."

"Not until you tell me what's going on," Tajh breathlessly let out, eyes hard.

She wasn't going to let him leave the driveway without an answer.

PRESENT

You rolled your eyes at the texts you were receiving. Smiling to yourself however, you tried not to let the messages get to you. It was Jungkook for crying out loud, you weren't planning on allowing his texts make you flush in any sort of manner. Sure, your mind focused on keeping your space from him, but your body on the other end, your body seemed to always react whenever he was around you.

From blushing, to awkward touches, to unexplainable butterflies within you...

You ignored all of that, stubborn to realize any sort of conclusion to such effects. All in mind was speaking to him as commonly as you did with Lia, Vee, or any other friend of yours.

Today's the last night I'll be coming by and staying with you.
- Jeon Jungkook

You bit your lip a little, your feet moving slowly now as you crossed the hallway of your school.

Oh, thank the heavens.
- Y/N

You like me staying over, don't lie.
- Jeon Jungkook

Sure, I'll enjoy telling my dad about your stays.
- Y/N

Grinning over your smug response, you tried not to laugh at how flustered the boy instantly got right after that text. Confidence falling, you tried not to type out a "you're cute" and refrained it all internally. Instead, emoji's were sent and mind was dazed.
