Eat. Sleep. Eat. Sleep.

That was Jungkook's daily routine for the last week. He barely left his room and decided to stay in bed all day. From time to time he sneaked to the kitchen and ate some of the leftovers his members didn't eat. Then he walked right back to his bed.

His members were worried and Taehyung even tried to drag him out of bed once by farting underneath the sheets. But Jungkook didn't give a single fuck. He was just not in the mood or had the strength to leave his bed. Not being able to see Yeri fucked him up. He couldn't even text her and not being able to hear her voice made it all even worse.

There were no updates on social media so he had no idea how she was feeling or what she was doing. Sure, he could ask his members to ask the girls about Yeri but let's be honest, he was too stubborn and couldn't step on his pride just like that. 'don't contact me before I tell you to, or else I will say things I might regret', were the last things she said to him before she stormed off that night.

Yes, he was scared and did as she said. Jungkook was just too scared that if he did or said something too early that this could be the reason for their breakup. So he waited. A few days. A week. Two weeks. And now it had been almost a month. When he couldn't take in anymore he just slept all day. Maybe because he was unconscious half of the time to numb out the pain in his chest, or just maybe because he didn't have to face his members in this pitiful state of him.

Whatever the reason was, Jungkook knew that he fucked up big time. He didn't even blame her for getting mad like that. She was right by everything she said that night. But it was too late when Jungkook realized that.

He had promised her to stay by her side no matter what. He said he would always protect her and make her happy. But when he thinks about Yeri crying because of him, he just wants to rip out his own liver. Sighing he sat up in bed, his hair ruffled and his face slimmer than before. Probably because he stopped eating as much as when he was with her. Yeri enjoyed food more than anything else and when they ate together he just couldn't hold back and eat too.

Jungkook grabbed his phone, unlocking it. His lips were dry and chapped but he still chewed on them nervously. Should he call her? Or message her? Maybe just like a picture on her private Instagram so she sees his name pop up and remembers she had a relationship with that fella? But were they still dating? Yes. Of course, they were. She never said anything about a breakup.

Suddenly Jungkook's heart started to beat crazily and his palms began sweating. He opened the chat and quickly typed a message, sending it before he realized what he had done. Once he realized that he sent her a message, his eyes widened and he stood up in a panic, walking around as he pulled on his hair. Seokjin walked in and watched the younger, thinking that he completely lost his mind now. "Hey! Calm down!"

Jungkook turned around to his elder brother and began whining, tears burning in his eyes. "S-She will break up with me now. I just sent her a message! I am so stupid I sent her a message before she told me to!" Seokjin, not sure about what the younger was talking about, grabbed him by the shoulders and made him sit down on his bed. "Calm the fuck down. She won't break up with you just because of a message. What did you even say?"

The panicked boy looked at the chat and pouted. 'I miss you yerm.' Seokjin sighed and shook his head. "I doubt she will break up because of such a stupid reason. After all, you two are adults. Well... sometimes I wonder if you really are but according to the law you are," Seokjin drifted off in his own thoughts, mumbling. "That's not the topic right now!" Jungkook whined.

"Calm down okay? She probably is sleeping right now," Seokjin accidentally said, biting his tongue. Jungkook furrowed his brows and then looked at his watch. "It's like, 2 in the noon... Why would she sleep in the middle of the day?" Seokjin felt caught and nodded, "Okay, maybe I asked Seulgi about Yeri but I did because I was worried and not because of you. And she, uh, she is in LA right now. So... Yeah."

Jungkook's eyes widened and he stood up. "What?! In LA? Alone!? Without her members!? Why!? What's in LA?!?" Before Seokjin could explain, the younger already grabbed his suitcase, opened it, and began to throw his clothes in it messily. "Jungkook what are you doing?" Seokjin stopped the boy in love and sighed. "I need to go to LA and take care of her! She is alone there and has nobody around her!" Seokjin looked up the ceiling, saying something under his breath before he pushed Jungkook's suitcase off. "She is coming back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, stop being a little dramatic bitch, or else I will smack the last two brain cells you have left."

Gulping, Jungkook nodded suddenly finding Seokjin scary. He was the caring older brother but when he showed his authority side there was nobody who dared to talk back. "Now get dressed. We are leaving to shoot for another run episode." With that, the elder left and Jungkook looked down at his feet. Now he didn't only feel guilty but also selfish for letting Yeri travel alone without him knowing. He was a bad boyfriend and he could totally understand why Yeri was keeping her distance from him.

As Seokjin told him to, he got dressed up and followed his members to the set where they shoot the next BTS run episode. He looked at his phone, no message. Leaving it in the dressing room, he joined the others on set, laughing and making fun of each other.

Later that day, finally back in their dorms after shooting for around 4 hours, everyone gathered in the living room and watched a movie to calm down and end the day. Hoseok and Jimin cuddled on the couch, Yoongi sleeping, his body spread across the big sofa which leads Seokjin and Namjoon to sit on the ground cuddled up in a bunch of pillows. Jungkook sat at the big dining table, leaning on his arm as he watched from afar. His phone was on mute but when his phone lit up, he grabbed it, quickly running to his room so he wouldn't disturb the others watching the movie.

He closed the door to his room and furrowed his brows. It was an unknown number. What if it was a stalker again? He ignored the call but seconds later the number called again. This continued for like 5 or 6 times when Jungkook got mad and picked up the call. He decided to rant but when he heard the familiar voice, he stopped and listened.

' I want to hold Jungkook's hand and not be scared that people will attack me. I want to go out on dates with him. I want to share my ice cream with him. And I want to go to the amusement park with him. I just want him back. I know I messed up big time. But I just felt lost. He is the one that I trust and love so much...'

Tears rolled down Jungkook's face hearing the voice he was craving for a long time. He had a wide smile on his lips, wiping his tears with his sleeve. He chuckled to himself when he heard Yeri still talking gibberish. She was just too cute right now. But who was the person that called him when the members were not with her?

'I think that's enough.' A different voice said this time. There was some ruffling and then it was all crystal clear again. 'I hope you heard everything. I won't ask her to repeat everything, she is too stubborn.'

Jungkook's heart stopped beating and he felt like a deer looking into the bright lights of a car. 'Jungkook, be at the Incheon airport at 10 p.m tomorrow. I think there is a lot you and Yeri have to talk about. Goodnight.'
