______ The Rules || Jungkook x Reader || Soulmate AU

Chapter 16

A/N: Thank you all so much for 10k reads, I love and appreciate you ♥︎

How did Jungkook feel right now? Like absolute shit. And watching (Y/n) walk out of the game store just made him hurt even more for some reason, despite the fact he felt betrayed by her. He loved her with all of his heart and he thought he did a pretty good job at showing it. So why would she just go off and kiss someone else? Her words were still ringing in his head.

There was some invisible force pulling me and Devon together, forcing my body to react to his kiss.

Jungkook wanted to believe in this, but it just seemed too fake. Like it was her excuse for being caught. But believing this to be a lie just hurt him even more because it would mean that she really didn't love him. She would've just been using him, and he didn't want that to be true. He finally found someone he could picture a future with, why would the universe let this happen to him?

"Jungkook..."

The brunette turned to look at Yoongi through teary eyes, making it difficult to make out the blue-haired man's facial expression. But there was no doubt he was looking at Jungkook with pitiful eyes, probably offering a sad smile.

"If you wouldn't mind waiting I can quickly close up the store and then drive you home, 'kay?" Yoongi said softly. Jungkook nodded his head before allowing his body to slide down the counter so he was sitting on the floor.

"Thank you," Jungkook said, but it came out as a whisper.

He could almost hear Yoongi's heart breaking before the older began rushing around to clean up the store. It only took about ten minutes before the elder was kneeling on the ground next to Jungkook, grabbing onto his arm and tugging him gently.

"C'mon, let's go home now."

Jungkook let Yoongi drag him out of the store and into his car. The whole ride Jungkook remained silent and only stared out the window, thanking Yoongi telepathically for not pushing him to speak. He was no longer crying at this point, but he knew once someone asked him 'what happened?' the dam would break again and all of hell would be let loose. He also knew that if anyone tried to console him, tell him that it wasn't his fault and that everything would be okay, he'd break down and bawl his eyes out like a kid.

"Jungkook, do you want to go in or stay out here alone for awhile?" Yoongi's question broke through Jungkook's train of thought. The two were sitting in the car, parked on the driveway of their house. The brunette stared at the elder and shook his head before opening the car door and stepping out.

When the two stepped into the house Yoongi began ushering him into the kitchen and sat him down in a chair. Then he kneeled down in front of Jungkook, staring at him with concerned eyes.

"Is there anything you want that I can get you? Some food? A drink, maybe?" he asked.

Jungkook shook his head again. "I don't think I could eat something even if I tried. I just want to—"

"Hey Yoongi, Jungkook! How was wor—"

Hoseok had entered the kitchen with a bright smile, practically radiating positivity, but it quickly vanished when seeing both the brunette and blue-haired man.

"Oh my God, what the hell happened?" the redhead exclaimed before rushing over to Jungkook, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Did he get hurt? Why is he crying? Yoongi, did you do something or was it someone else?"

"Hoseok!" Yoongi hissed warningly.

"No it's okay," Jungkook said with a wave of his hand. Then he turned to Hoseok. "I saw (Y/n) kissing her soulmate and now I just feel like shit."
