Okay, so I'm totally blanking on this next chapter. I have the next one written, but I can't figure this one out! As such, I'm going to apologize now. This chapter will be much shorter than my usual chapter, and much crappier, but I'll give the next one to you immediately! I hope you enjoy!

Jungkook POV

I watched (Y/N) sleep as we rode the train. I traced a finger along her neck, over the marks. I knew Namjoon hadn't been the one to do them, as was his look. That really only left one person, one person who I assumed didn't take it well.

I sigh loudly as I stare out the window instead. I had a mask and beanie on to hide my identity easier. I was simply hoping that Daegu was small enough that no one cared, but I was prepared anyway. This was a delicate time, and screaming fans would not help the situation.

I kept rubbing circles on her back as she slept.

She went through too much. I moved us to Seoul so we wouldn't hurt again. Not so she could just get hurt again and again and again. I wanted her to have freedom that she couldn't get in the shackles of the past. Instead, all they did was tighten, make her suffer more. I never should have agreed to that tour, at least then.

My phone rings so loudly that I almost jump. I look at it and grab it, answering it so it'll shut up.

"Who is this?"

"Jeon Jungkook? My name is Bang Si-Hyuk, and I'm the CEO of BigHit Entertainment."

I glance at (Y/N). "Okay. And?"

"I was hoping we could work out a contract, as yours expired due to reasons disclosed, correct?"

"They infringed upon my own human rights, so yes. I left. What makes you any different?"

"Firstly, we won't force you to come back now. We'll allow you to have your hiatus for however long you want. Next, you will establish the wage you want and we'll do what's required to meet it. All that we want is to sponsor such an amazing idol as yourself."

"You sound ideal," I reply, leaning back on the seat. Then I think of the debt that will start to grow if I don't get a higher paying job soon. "Would I be able to remain a dancing teacher at my current studio?"

"I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as you can still perform your duties as needed. It's whatever you say. This is the company's opportunity, I'm afraid to say. We won't mess up if you come to us. I swear it."

I look at (Y/N)'s sleeping face and grimace. "I'll get back to you on details. I'll call you back in a few days."

"Thank you, Jungkook. You won't regret it."

I hang up then, staring back out of the window.

What should I say to her, and when?

Your POV

I open my eyes with hesitance, the bright sun leaking through the window. I then glare at it, my eyes burning after being asleep and in the dark for so long. I sit up, rubbing my eyes as I yawn. My back aches excruciatingly as I straighten it, cracking multiple times. I look around the train cabin and notice that Jungkook isn't in there.

"Kookie?" I whine, standing up. I go to the door, rest my hand on the frame, and look out. I see him talking with someone, recognizing him by his body shape. He turns around, holding a bunch of snacks and various fruits. He looks up once he notices and lengthens his strides to reach me faster.

"(Y/N), are you okay?"

I rub my eye and yawn, nodding. "I'm okay. Are we there yet?"

He enters back into the cabin, and I sit back down. He gives me some snacks and water. I drink the water first, my throat incredibly dry.

"We have about an hour left. What do you want to see? We haven't been in months."

"Not since their anniversary," I remember, drinking water. "I drove on my motorcycle, for some stupid reason."

He chuckles, sitting next to me. "I mean, I drove, so we were kind of in the same boat."

"Anyway, can we past our old home?

He ruffles my hair, smiling. "Yes, we can go by the house. Anything else?"

I shrug for now, wrapping my arms around him before tucking my head against his solid stomach. I close my eyes again, releasing a small purr. He chuckles and pets me in the loving way of a brother.

"Hey, if I made another idol contract at a new company, would you be mad at me?"

I pull up, still a little drowsy. "No, I wouldn't, if they treat you better. Why? Is there something I should know?"

He smiles. "I have a potential place, yeah. I'll have to see. For now, it's all about cheering you up. Yeah?"

I smile, my lips pulled into a happy curve. "Sure."

Author POV

And he did. Throughout the day, it was running from one place to the next, taking in the sights as if it was the last time. Both of you saw parks, went to old snack places you had gone to after his school, everything. The memories of a happy childhood flooded your heart and you felt warm and fuzzy. The entire time, you were happy as you guys went place to place. It had been too long. The aquarium. The parks. The food. The people. Even the gravestones that waited for you were filled with nostalgia. It had been too long since you'd seen that small hill the two of you had once rolled down.

After many hours of exhausting, playful sprints through the bright day, the sun was starting to set. It took your energy slowly with it, and the two of you started heading to the nearest train station. You still had a merry skip in your step as you walked, even if you were tired and weary from the day. It was only fatigue, and nothing could stop the happiness that filled your veins.

You guys arrived at the train station. While Jungkook went to buy tickets, you looked around the landing. You saw many things, vending machines, people drowsy from work, and other things you could only see at a Daegu train station. You missed this place. You missed the smell, the sights, the people, the sky, the trees, everything.

There was also something you missed, but you didn't consciously know it. What is it?

Yeah, so that's the end of this chapter. I'm really sorry that it's so short and goes over, well, a lot of details, but I just couldn't make my mind happy to work on it. You'll hate me next chapter, so I hope you semi-liked me with this one. I'll see you in the next chapter! Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
