Deep And Dark (A Forbidden Romance) || Jungkook

Secret Unveiled

If I fail anything from today's lessons, I will blame you. Totally. I glared at Jungkook when the teacher's back was turned.

He's the total cause of my distractions today. Ever since last night, I couldn't stop thinking about that strange text. Yeah, it's my fault that I choose to think so much about it. But I don't really care. It's still gonna be Jungkook's fault.

...

Our last period before school ended was electives, and we were studying different subjects, so I couldn't grab hold of him once school ended and demand an explanation for his behaviour since we were in different classrooms. Oh well, whatever.

...

...

...

I glanced at my watch. 1.45pm. Ok, I was early.

...

1.52pm. Still nothing.

...

1:59:59... you've got to be kidding me.

I tapped my foot impatiently was it noisy? I didn't know and I didn't care until the librarian came out and shushed me.

...

2.01pm Wow, who did Jungkook think he was... I had homework to do okay...

...

...

...

2.35pm I was reading a book.

And then I heard footsteps approaching me.

Of course it was Jungkook. No one else would come to the library at this hour.

...

"Uhh... yeah... hi..."

I glanced up.

"Yeah... hi..." I emphasised sacarstically. "I've been waiting here since 1.45pm."

"I...I'm sorry..."

"Yeah right, you're sorry. You wasted fifty minutes and forty two seconds of my time and all you can say is you're sorry."

"I'm really sorry Jae Eun, I know that I've been really horrid to you all this while, and no amount of apologies would make up for it. But I didn't know that-"

"Who are you?"

He looked up from his feet. "What?"

"Who are you?" I repeated.

"What do you mean?"

"You're not Jungkook." I said, in a matter-of-factly way.

He blinked. "What?"

"The Jungkook I know never apologises," I continued, enjoying the state of confusion he was in. "Or at least, not sincerely."

"Oh..." Realisation dawned on him, and he finally understood what I was getting at. He grinned. Wait what? He just grinned?! It was a real, legit, sincere grin. Ok, but if he thought he was going to get away with his behaviour with merely a sorry and a grin, then he was wrong. I wasn't going to let him off so easily.

I resumed the serious mood we were in just minutes ago. "So, explain."

"Huh?"

"You must have called me here for a reason, right? Don't tell me it was just to apologise?" I questioned.

"Oh... uhh..." His grin faded and was automatically replaced by his signature expression - glum and solemn.

"Umm... partially yeah... but also I wanted to umm... tell you something... I uhh..."

I raised an eyebrow. "You...?"

"I... I've been treating you this way because I ... I really thought you knew what was going on and... well I figured out you probably didn't, given that you even looked Taehyung up... I..."

"Yeah, of course I don't. I totally don't get what's going on. So if you don't mind would you kindly explain to me?" I started to feel impatient and annoyed. What the heck did he even mean??

"So... I..... uhh... I'm not sure if you're ready for this, but I couldn't keep it in anymore. I.. I just can't bear you misunderstanding me like that-"

"Excuse me? Misunderstand? May I know in what way exactly have I misunderstood you?" I interrupted, sacarsm dripping in every word. Wow, I, Choi Jae Eun, innocently a school girl who loves to study and basically attend school with a normal life, actually misunderstood a guy sitting next to me with the intention of making my life a living hell every single day.

"Jae Eun... please, hear me out. I wouldn't treat you this badly either if I had a choice. I... I was warned about your family so naturally, you were-"

"What the heck? My family? What has this got to do with my freaking family? Jeon Jungkook, if all you're going to tell me is some make-believe shit, then I'm off. Goodbye. Take it that today never existed." Vulgarities naturally spewed out of me uncontrollably when I was feeling pissed. And yes, of course, I was pissed to the max. Fine if he wanted to insult me. But my family. That wouldn't be tolerated.

I turned on my heel and walked away.

Jungkook's Pov

I could feel tears welling in my eyes. Why was I crying? The fact alone made me heartbroken enough. From the time our eyes met, I've never ever not  felt a thing for Jae Eun. And I couldn't take it when she thought that I was treating her so badly on purpose. Because I wasn't. But I couldn't explain it to her. For our differences made it dangerous to. Her parents would have to be the first to break it to her. But I couldn't help it. I could stand it no longer.

I'm sorry Dad, I'm sorry Mum.

I took in a deep breath. "I'm a demon."
