I pounded the bed with my fist for the millionth time. The presence of Jungkook's lips had rested on mine like a phantom, and I couldn't help but question how and why it even happened... Why did I do that? This whole kiss thing was stressing me out. Why would I do that with Jungkook? I only just met him, and we were already kissing? I knew we wouldn't be seeing each other for much longer, why was I getting myself attached to him?

Once I got out of here, I needed to forget about everything. The kiss(es), the personal moments, everything. But not what I've learned about myself, and how I want to change. That's the one thing I want to keep from this whole experience.

I groaned in frustration, and pounded my fist against the bed once more. But how could I forget him after all of this? It's too much for me to forget someone after going this far... I mean, I've kissed too many guys to count, but this is the first time I've ever wanted someone for who they actually are, instead of just for one night.

It was making my head hurt just thinking about it. Why is it that the first time I actually like someone, we have to leave each other so quickly? I know it's not time to leave Jungkook just yet, but it's approaching soon. Was it really over already?

I sat up with a frown on my face, and tossed one of the pillows across the room.

Soon after, Jungkook opened the door and entered angrily.

"What are you doing in here?" Jungkook asked, glancing over to the pillow on the floor.

I sighed, and laid back down on the bed. "I was just frustrated." I mumbled.

"Well, whatever. I need to go somewhere, so can I trust you to stay here alone?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Of course." I replied, "But where are you going?"

Jungkook hesitated, "Somewhere. It doesn't really matter right now. But I'll be back soon, okay?"

"Okay, and I promise I won't burn down the house or anything." I assured him jokingly.

He started to walk out of the room, but then turned back around to face me. "You're sure?"

"Positive."

He nodded, and left the room, leaving me all by myself. I heard the front door close lightly, and I sighed.

Last time he left, I was glad that he was gone. I thought it would be a good idea to search around, and he had given me the perfect opportunity. But now, I was just feeling uneasy. Even though there were plenty of times that we were silent, I had never felt lonely here. Now, it was dead quiet, and the only word going through my mind was "alone".

I carefully stood up, and crept into the living room. It felt like someone was going to jump out at me any second, even though no one was here. I collapsed onto the sofa, and sighed.

How much longer would Jungkook be away? It was torture without him here, and he only left a minute ago.

I stood up, and made my way to the kitchen. Maybe I could eat away my worries... After searching through the cabinet, I settled on the giant bag of barbecue chips. I slid into one of the kitchen chairs, and starting crunching on the chips once more.

I winced, the crunching sounding as loud as a school's fire alarm compared to this constant silence. Maybe food wasn't the best idea.

I went back to the couch after putting away the chips, and just wished for Jungkook to get back soon. My eyes gently closed, and tiredness washed over me. I sighed happily, glad that I could pass time with a nap.

Sleep washed over me, and the eerie silence had come to an end.

I jolted upright at the sound of keys frantically jingling in the lock. I stood up quickly, and stood as far away from the front door as I could. Who would be trying to get in so frantically like that?
