Almost like back then (JJK fanfic)

Chapter 5

I start walking home but someone calls my name and starts running up to me. Of course, that someone is Jungkook so I keep walking and ignore him. But he runs in front of me and stops me. "What do you want, Jungkook?" "I want to apologise. I'm so so sorry, Min Lee. I never meant to hit you, I promise." I nod and say:"Apology accepted. Now, if that's all, I'm gonna go home."

But he stops me again and says:"No, it's not all. Please, can we talk? Please." I say:"About what? We've got nothing to talk about." Jungkook replies:"We do. Please. Give me just 15 minutes." I sigh and agree quietly. "But I'm going home anyways, so talk on the way," I mention. He agrees and we start walking. "First of all, I wanna apologise for today. I never meant to hit you, it was an accident." And then he goes quiet. And I know why. Because he feels really bad about ending the friendship and ignoring me for the past few months but doesn't know how to fix it. 

Soon we reach my home but he still hasn't spoken, probably looking for the right words. "Let's go in, you can say everything you want while I fix my face," I say while pointing at my nose. He nods and we enter my apartment. I wash off my face and clean up the bruises and then I turn to Jungkook. "Show me your hands," I ask him. He is confused but does so anyways. I clean up his bruised hands while he just looks at me in silence. 

I smile to myself and then mention to him the fact that it's nice that he's finally speaking to me and this is the first time he's talked to me in months. As expected, he immediately looks very guilty. He sighs and finally speaks up. "I know I've been a massive jerk, Min Lee. And I'm really sorry about that. It's just that...when you told me you didn't feel the same, I panicked. I felt hurt and so I decided to distance my self from you and decided that getting a girlfriend would help me move on." I listen quietly, not knowing what to say but I let him continue talking. "Min Lee. I miss having you in my life, can we be friends again, please?" 

I stop what I'm doing and look at him. "Jungkook, you really hurt me, you know? You go for a couple months ignoring me and pretend I don't exist. You can't just act like you didn't do that and go back to wanting to be friends immediately. You betrayed me and it hurt me. A lot." I take a couple steps away from him and then turn back to him. "I guess we can try. Slowly and step by step but we can try."

He smiles brightly but I say:"Slowly, remember. We won't immediately go back to how things were. I need to learn to trust you again." He nods happily and then I say:"I guess we can hang out today. Since you got me suspended, I won't be able to go to school for a couple days. You're lucky they didn't call our families. You KNOW that Minho would KILL you if he found out." Jungkook's eyes widen because he knows I'm right. We decide to watch some movies and order some food and just hang out for the next couple hours, trying to back to normal.
