Lonely | BTS x Blackpink

1 | Sober and Broken

- Jeon Jungkook -

I woke up suddenly. My body was dripping in cold sweat. My head was pounding and my sight was foggy. I felt numb and I couldn't force myself to move. So, I shut my eyes once more and let out a long sigh. It must have been another nightmare.

I regained some sort of consciousness and I no longer felt as entrapped by the aftermath of my horrid dream. I walked over to the restroom and reached into the medicine cabinet. A few pills should do. Looking out at the apartment window I had realized that it was already nine o' clock at night. The lights of the apartment were off which meant that none of my roommates were present. I was alone once again, but shouldn't I be used to it by now?

With nothing better to do I thought I should go out. It was pretty late so maybe a bar could be of some entertainment. Though the more I thought about it, it came to me that on a typical Friday night, my friends would be at the local club.

I was correct. I stepped into the place as the loud booming music made my head throb. The first thing that came into sight were six drunk men on the dance floor. To no surprise the faces were familiar. I wouldn't blame them though. Each one of us were just a little bit broken inside and sometimes it was just easier to find a distraction then to face our issues. Though I kept in mind that I needed to be sober enough to drive a group of people home, I too needed a drink. I made my way to the bar and sat down. As I ordered, I noticed a girl sit right next to me . I turned my head to her and observed. She was a blonde beauty. And shockingly, unlike everyone else here, sober.

I gave the blonde girl a smile. I don't know why, but something told me I should. She gave me a little grin back. And for the first time, I felt a strange warmth I haven't been able to feel in a while. It made me feel wanted.

"I'm Lisa," she introduced. There it was again, her smile. It calmed me down better than any dose of alcohol has. Funny though, I only met her a minute ago yet I still managed to trick myself into thinking I needed her company. Maybe I did at the time. Who knows.

"I'm Jeon Jungkook," I replied with a slight eye smile. "Are you here alone?"

"No, I'm with a few other friends, but I couldn't help but notice how lonely you looked," she replied.

She wasn't wrong though. I was a bit lonely. Her company certainly helped resolve that issue. Lisa stayed with me that entire night. Without ever needing to order another drink the two of us talked and talked. I lost track of time and forgot about my drunken roommates completely. As the night went on I couldn't help but notice how the smallest things about her made her so beautiful. Her smile. Her eyes. Her laugh. Her voice. For once I had actually thought that maybe I had a good dream. I felt less broken with her and I was addicted to the feeling of freedom she brought me.
