Shock [BTS X Reader]

Chapter 9: Frustration and Anticipation

I wake up after the long night and Taehyung is still asleep.

"Cutie." I whisper.

As soon as I sit up, my head starts to pound.

I only had a few sips of that champagne. God it was so good, but definitely too strong for me to handle.

I sigh as I look down and I'm only wearing my underwear.

"I guess I'll go find those old clothes again."

*

A while later, I am sitting on Tae's couch when he walks in rubbing his eyes, only wearing a pair of sweatpants.

"Morning, (y/n). How do you still look stunning in my crappy old clothes?" He says huskily and kisses me on the forehead.

I smile and motion him to sit down next to me.

"Does it feel good to finally be 18?" He asks.

"Bet it feels better to be 21." I laugh.

"I can definitely take a drink better than you can." He teases.

"That's because you're actually legal." I punch him on the shoulder.

He guiltily chuckles and shrugs.

We watch the morning news for a while, and it all starts to feel like home, for the first time since mom passed.

I take it all in, feeling grateful as ever.

*

I excuse myself to the bathroom and on my way, my phone dings.

Jungkook: Meet me at my flat around 12. We need to talk.

I gasp and suddenly not need to go to the bathroom anymore.

*

"I'm sorry Tae but I need to go back to the hotel right now. Um, my Dad is expecting me." I lie.

"Alreadyy?" He whines as he comes up behind me and wraps his arms around my neck.

"Yes." I coo, trying to hide my nerves.

"You'll need to grab your dress." He says in my ear and sends a chill down my spine.

"Oh, right." I nod in embarrassment.

*

I wave to Tae as I walk into the hotel. I walk so fast that I almost trample a few people.

I pace in my room trying to figure out what to do.

This all doesn't make sense. I've only met them all about four days ago. Do they really catch feelings that fast?

I look over and see that it's 11:30.

Jungkook will be expecting me.

I sprint down to the cabs and tell the man the address that Jungkook sent.

It was probably the most uncomfortable cab ride ever.

*

We pull into the huge complex and I swiftly enter.

I knock on his door while my hand shakes.

Jungkook opens the door, tears already filling his eye sockets.

"Can you please tell me what's going on? I'm concerned for you. You haven't shown up for any get togethers." I say.

"I know (y/n). I'm sorry. I just couldn't bring myself to see you without tearing up and making a fool of myself. I'll tell you everything I promise." Jungkook croaks.

"What does everything mean? Is there really that much to say? You've only known me for four days Jungkook. Are you over reacting?" I raise my voice.

His jaw drops.

How is he so surprised?

"I don't believe it." He whispers as he looks down at the floor, another tear leaving his face.

"Look I know what you're going to say, but I like Taehyung. We are dating now and I would like you and I to just be friends." I say as I put my hand on his shoulder.

"I know that you two are dating, isn't is obvious?! I've been waiting for you to come to Korea. I have
wanted you for so long (y/n), and Taehyung just swept you off your feet and left me to fall." Jungkook almost yells, now sobbing.

"...for so long? It's literally been 4 days Jungkook." I say, annoyed.

He covers his face in his hands and sits down on the couch.

"It's not like that and it hurts me so much to hear you say it because..." He is cut off by my phone ringing.

"Hi Dad." I pick up the phone.

"We have to leave right now because our flight home leaves in 30 minutes (y/n). I'm sorry for the sudden leave but it's an emergency at work I need to be there immediately. I already have all of your stuff packed just meet me at the airport right now, AND NO DELAY." He speaks quickly and hangs up.

I look at Jungkook for a moment.

"I'm sorry but I have to leave right now. It's urgent. My flight home leaves in an hour and I can't miss it." I say slowly.

"Wait wha-"

"Please don't make this harder for me. I really need to go." Tears filling my own eyes.

He slowly nods and dries his eyes.

As I walk out I swear I heard him say,

"Don't leave me again (y/n)."

Now what the hell does that mean?

*

"Dad couldn't I have just stayed by myself? I'm 18 now." I whine as we walk through security.

"I don't know how many times I have to tell you but I can't just leave my daughter in a foreign country." He sighs and enters the plane.

*

Taehyung texts me mid flight and I almost have a heart attack.

Tae Tae: Hey lovey can we hang today?

(y/n): Taehyung I'm so sorry but I had to fly back home all of the sudden for my Dad's work. I know I didn't say goodbye and I feel so bad. It's not my fault I swear, my Dad brought it up out of nowhere. I will meet you again soon, I promise. <3

Tae Tae: WHAT?! I'm taking the next flight out. I can't part with you just yet. I'm not good with long distance.

(y/n): Please Tae just stay there for me. I know that you're so busy with work, and work always comes first. I love you Tae but it's for the best. I'll see you soon enough, I promise on my heart.

Tae Tae: I respect that but I can't go on with my life not knowing what you're doing and if you're safe. It's a living hell.

(y/n): I'll be sure to keep you updated then.

Tae Tae: Please do. I'll always keep my phone on me. Text me whenever you get the chance. I already miss you.

(y/n): Miss you too.

Tae Tae: Have a safe flight beautiful. Goodbye.

(y/n): Bye cutie.

I wipe my eyes and nod off to sleep.

I have a dream about Jungkook.

Something still isn't right with him and he could have told me if Dad didn't call me at that second.

Life is too unfair.
