"Micha, we need to talk. Now." Jungkook whispered.

I was still having trouble believing that we both wound up in the same room. How? Why?

"Do you hear me? Micha?" Jungkook asked in a whisper, and I started to tremble.

"Yeah, I do." I replied, my voice cracking as I spoke.

"We need to have a more private conversation, they can be anywhere." Jungkook whispered, and I sighed.

"I don't want to." I stated, and I felt the disappointment radiating off of him.

"What do you mean? Why not?" He asked worriedly, not even trying to be careful about the volume of his voice anymore.

"You lied to me. I get it, you might've not wanted to tell me, but if our plan involves the biggest gang in the city, which you happened to be a part of, I think I should know about it!" I argued, and Jungkook was silent.

"I just thought you had enough trust in me that I could know about a secret that important... I guess not."

"Micha, I–"

"No, shut up!" I argued, "I'm not done yet."

"I want to trust you. But I can't. I'm trying to make myself believe I can, but I–I just can't-" I stated, "-JK!" Jungkook didn't reply at first. I could almost sense his anger.

Jungkook took a deep breath to calm himself before speaking. "Don't you ever call me JK again." He demanded, "Got it?"

"Got it." I replied in a blank tone. I sort of felt guilty, but not really. I didn't want to make him feel bad... But at the same time, it felt like payback. He lied, so I used it against him

Without another word, Jungkook grabbed my wrist (the one that wasn't in my pocket, luckily) before dragging me towards the other side of the room, and I held my breath in hopes that he knew where he was going.

I heard a small creaking noise as he opened the door, and we both entered the hallway. Like before, it was still dead silent. I bet I could hear a pin drop from across the building.

"Let's go," Jungkook whispered a few seconds later, and we slowly started to walk. We had no idea which way was what, and I had no idea where we were going. I'm sure we'd find–

My thoughts were cut off suddenly as a blinding light came in all directions. I squinted and covered my eyes at the sight, it hurt to look at.

"Woah, what are you two lovebirds doing?" I shrieked and jumped into the air for a split second, grabbing on to the medicine container even tighter until I reached the ground again, but then turned around to see that it was only S.

"We are not in love!" Jungkook shouted, still squinting as his eyes adjusted to the bright lights that now filled the once-dark hallway.

S laughed and rolled his eyes, "Whatever. I don't know if I trust the both of you to be walking around together, so I suggest you two split up." S stated, and Jungkook sighed heavily.

"But we really need to talk privately! There's some things that need to be cleared up." Jungkook argued.

"Fine, I'll let you two go to an empty room. I won't listen in, don't worry." S said, and once he turned his back to lead us away, Jungkook silently pumped his fist into the air, mouthing the word 'yes' in excitement. I bet he had been waiting for this conversation for a while.

Once we reached an empty room, S let us go inside before shutting the door without a word. Jungkook waited for him to walk away before locking the door behind us, and then walked back over to stand in front of me. His gaze warily lowered to the pocket with the medicine bottles inside, and then it slowly moved back up to look me in the eyes. I gulped, and he stared at me gingerly. 

"What's in your pocket?" Jungkook demanded with an authoritative tone. 

"Nothing." My hand tightened it's grip, and Jungkook inched closer. Before I knew what was happening, he had already ripped my hand out of the pocket, causing one bottle fall to the ground, while the other rested in my hand. He snatched the medicine bottle from my hands, and I guiltily watched as he read the label. His eyes narrowed as a look of confusion came across his face, and he slowly knelt down to grab the other. After reading its label, he stood back up to look at me at eye level.

"Micha," He asked in a serious tone, "Why would you–"

"I didn't know what it was!" I blurted out, "I just wanted to know what was in those cardboard boxes, okay? I was gonna read the labels and see what it was once the lights came back on, and then put it back."

Jungkook obviously saw through the lie. "This is the stuff that JH gave you the day you broke down. The day you thought you saw me in the hallway. It's Ecstasy. You were screaming at the top of your lungs how much you hated me and going insane, Micha. Why would you want this?" He asked in disbelief. "This drug caused all of that."

Did I really say all of that? I didn't mean it, but still... Why would I do that?  

"How did you–"

"I heard you screaming my name, and RM filled me in afterwards. I know you didn't mean any of it, you were high." Jungkook explained, "But I still can't let you take these."

I clenched my fists at my sides. "Why do you even care? I want you to leave me alone, you shouldn't give a fuck about what I do anymore!" I argued, stamping my foot against the ground.

Jungkook closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Of course I care about you, Micha... What else am I supposed to do?"

"I just want you to leave me the fuck alone! I'll get out of here, and we'll go our separate ways." I stated, causing Jungkook to be seething.

He tossed the containers to the ground with so much force that they both cracked, letting the different colored pills spill out. "I'm doing this because I care about your future!" He shouted, his voice thick with anger, causing me to step back, "This stuff will ruin your life, and I don't want you to go down that path! I'm yelling like this because I don't want you to make the same mistakes that I did, not because I want to hurt you!"

My face turned beat red, and my gaze fell to the ground.  

"You won't understand the consequences of something like this until you experience them yourself, and trust me, I've seen it happen too many times to count. You don't want to learn the hard way." Jungkook shouted, and took a deep breath. His tone lowered. "I'm sorry for yelling, but it was necessary."

Necessary? Sure. Let's go with that.

"Whatever, there was a point to having this conversation, before that happened. There's something important we need to discuss." Jungkook said, and I tilted my head.

"What?"

"My history with Bangtan, which I clearly lied to you about. There's a lot more than any of us have told you yet, and I think it's time you knew."
