"We can live happily ever after."

"I am the one for you."

"Pick me Ria."

"Marry---"

I immediately opened my eyes and got up into a sitting position. My clothes were drenched in sweat. After a few calm breaths I checked the clock on the lamp side. It was 2:17 am. 

I've been hearing Jungkook's voice over and over again. I've been seeing him and hearing him in my dreams for the past week. It was all nonsense. Him demanding me to choose him, saying no one else is better than him, even him proposing! 

I think something was wrong with me. 

It's been about 8 days since he came over. 

Confessing his feelings was overwhelming...and now...wanting more than that?





It took me off guard. I wasn't expecting Jungkook to ask me to give him a chance. It just felt so strange. It didn't feel right. I felt pressured and broke into tears that day. 

Flashback:

"Ria? Are you crying?"

"N-n-no."

"I can see it in your eyes. Did I hurt your feelings?"

Tears were flowing that I could barely see Jungkook's face. He was still kneeling down and holding onto my hand gently. He slowly let it go. 

"I'm sorry. I understand this took you by surprise. But...will you consider it?"

"I-I-I don't know."

"What?"

"I DON'T KNOW OKAY!" His eyes widened and I was eventually able to see that there was pain in his emotions.

His mouth was open but unable to make words. So I decided to say,

"Get out."

Jungkook sighed and quietly left my apartment. 

*****************

Jungkook never called me, or texted me, but I'm not even surprised. I think I hurt his feelings. Big time.


Was I concerned about him? Yes. Did I know what to do about that? No. 

And what about Jimin?


Jimin was really busy now. He finally got back to University so he's been busy with classes. He invited me a couple of times to come over but I denied his request. 



My brain was all over the place and I wanted to be alone.


Just then, I heard my phone vibrate at 2:30 am: It was from Jimin.

Hey. I miss you. Are you awake?

I couldn't sleep. Might as well text him. Honestly, I missed him too.


I felt like a bitch for just shutting Jimin and Jungkook out of my life. I was a pro at this. Easily running away from my comfort zone, my fear of the future, my fear of love. I just didn't want to feel heartbroken for the millionth time.
