chapter 19. the sound of your heart

Jungkook's P.O.V

After the company dinner yeeun invited me over some coffee. We went to the cafe were we always hang out before. i ordered for a latte and she went with espresso coffee.

"how are you?" she asked, she took a sip on her espresso. "i'm fine. i guess. you? you seem to be perfectly fine with life now." i said. talking to her like this is kinda awkward but whenever i talk to her, my love for her comes back and becomes more stronger.

"well, i'm struggling but i'm fine." she said.

"so, you met someone." i said. i was talking about mingyu, the one her friend told me about. "ahhh, you mean mingyu? well, we're not in a relationship, he's just flirting around." she answered.

"well, it seems like you're in a relationship with him." i mumbled.

"what?"

"nothing. i said, you both look good together."

"non-sense. you very know well what i like in man."

"yeah, sure."

there's this a minute of awkward silence between us and it's killing me. i wanted to tell her that i still love her and i miss her every single day but there's thing force that is pulling me from saying it.

"you also met someone." she said.

"me? who?" i asked.

"jisoo! kim jisoo, you silly. she seems to be the right person for you. she takes care of you so much, she makes you happy and she always brightens your day." she said.

jisoo.

"ahh, well, she does makes me happy." i said.

"i'm sorry you were banned from seeing each other." she said. she took another sip from her espresso. "you two look lovely." she added. those words were like a stab at the back. i know that i love jisoo but i still yeeun much more. we were supposed to be the ones who look lovely for each other.

"yeeun-ah." i said. i can't help but say it to her.

"jungkook, if you're saying it again, i have made up my mind and let's just..."

"just?"

"let's just stay friends. it's better being friends than being back together."

"but i don't want to be friends, yeeun. look, i still love you very much and if you would just give one more chance, i can prove to you that i still love you. please!" i begged.

"jungkook. *heavy sigh* let's stop playing around. i am doing good with mingyu and you are doing good with jisoo. and i think it's a win-win situation for us."

"you're good with mingyu? how can you say you're good with mingyu when he just left you alone drunk at the bar? i can't...i just can stand seeing you like this. so please!"

"what about jisoo? you're just gonna leave her then? you're just gonna hurt her feelings? i don't want her to experience what i have experienced before."

she's right. i can't leave jisoo hanging. i can't leave her with a broken heart. i was taken from there. i couldn't debate with her anymore.

she held both of my hands and said, "jungkook, i know deep inside your heart that you still love me. i do too but you just can't destroy the relationship you have with jisoo. jisoo, she's nice and sweet. i trust her that she will take care of you and i know that she deeply loves you more than i do."

"please. don't say that. don't say that to make me go away." i said.

"i'm not saying this to make you go away. i'm saying this because it's true." she said. i suddenly felt a tear run down my cheeks. "don't worry about me. i'll be fine." she added. she took her things and left the cafe.
