" Let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater"

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dropped my phone down on the floor. How did she know? Was there a camera? Was I too obvious? Did I leave a mark?

I shook my head and looked at the time.

7:45 AM

I still have time. I need to attend for today.

I got ready, took my bag and rushed out the door to where I worked. Today is the day I talk to Jungkook and get things sorted out. Maybe Jungkook was being a good boyfriend and protecting me. Wait..boyfriend? I must be going crazy from all that is happening right now.

------------------

I stopped. My heart was beating faster than usual, my palms were sweaty,  many scenarios ran through my head as I stopped infront of Jungkook' s door. Before I could even hold the doorknob, the door swung open before me. There, stood a woman with black file. She smiled at me awkwardly as I scanned her.

Messy hair, wrinkled clothes, uneven tucked clothes, makeup a little worn off. My eyes widened as I had one  conclusion in my mind. Was Jungkook that mad? Was  that why he did that? I walked in his office while Jungkook was busy focusing on whatever was in his computer. His office was a mess, the files that I nicely organised yesterday were all on the floor, his blouse wasn't buttoned properly.

"Jungkook...how could you?" My voice trembled as I felt a heavy ache in my chest.

Jungkook looked up at me in confusion. "Why? What's wrong?" I couldn't tell if he was genuinely concerned about me or it was all just an act because all I could focus right now is the fact that he probably cheated on me while I was gone. Wait ... are we even dating to being with?

"You cheated on me...you..-"

"When did I ever?" His voice sounded hurt and accused. Despite his voice, his eyes told me otherwise.

I didn't know if I had the rights to get mad at him, we weren't dating.

I only could stare into his eyes, mocking my every movement. He knew what he did, he knew it would hurt me yet he still did it.

"Who was she?" I asked, my voice still trembling and my tears still threatnening to fall.

"Oh, you know, a new employee. You see, I don't need your help either, babe" he smirked at me.

"Don't call me that"

He faked a hurt expression and walked over to me. He placed his arms around my hips and brought me closer to him. I struggled under his embrace to only felt him tightened his grip on me to the point it hurts.

"Listen here, we are going through this together" he muttered under his breath. I shook my head furiously and pushed hik away from me with all of my strength. At that point, I lost all of my remaining strength and felt my tears trailing down my cheeks.

"There is no together between me and you, fucking cheater" I burst out of his office and ran wherever my feet took me. How was he so immature?

I stopped running when I felt soft droplets falling on my skin. I looked up and watched the rain fall from the sky. Each droplet served a purpose but I, on the other hand, lost mine.

I chuckled softly at myself. All these was happening because of a simple book.

I went home to think. Not about the book but myself. I've pushed off everyone that cared about me and now I'm left with no one to hold onto.

"Stupid..stupid Jungkook" I mumbled, taking another shot and laid my head down on the table and closed my eyes, allowing sleep to devour me.

I awoke to the sound of cans hitting against each other. I opened my eyes slowly and saw Jungkook holding a trash bag and cleaning up the empty cans of alcohol.

"I've missed you to the point I'm hallucinating"I giggled and reached out to him. I was expecting my hand to pass through him but felt his calloused fingers intertwine with mine instead.

I shot up with my eyes wide opened. He was really here.

"If you can't stand being alone, don't force yourself" He said, pulling me into a warm hug. I struggled under his embrace, tears rolling down my cheeks and staining his shirt as I did so.

"You cheater, get away from me!" I yelled. Jungkook didn't budge but only held me tighter. Why was he doing this to me?

"I love you" He whispered in my ear.

"No! Don't tell me those lies!" I wailed.

It took us a few hours to calm down and talk things out. He told me that it was just an act and that he didn't mean to hurt me. I only told him about the book my mom left. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that I was dying, who would ?

"I'm sorry for adding on to your problems" Jungkook apologised as he sat closer to me and brought my head on his shoulders. If only this warmth would last forever. God knows how long I had left to live. It broke my heart thinking about leaving Jungkook.

"I'm sorry for not telling you" I cried. He pat my head and listened to ny cries.

I'm sorry for not telling you that I'm dying.

If only I could bring myself to tell him that.
