I Feel Alone. (BTS Jungkook X Male!Reader)

Chapter 8

Your legs carried you down streets and alleyways with as little energy as you had at the moment. You could feel your lungs burn as you run without thinking of stopping until you got away from the scene that was once witnessed by your saddened eyes. Your vision was blurred from the adrenalin and tears that were streaming down your face. You could see your own breath create a small cloud of mist with every quick shaky breath you took. 

As you turned a corner, your legs gave out on you and you fell onto the hard cold wet pavement. The stinging in your knees begged you to stop as you got back up and started running even faster. You knew that it would never work but you held onto this small little wish that if you kept running, you would somehow escape reality. Running out of breath and stamina you slowed down and found yourself near a park. Gasping for air as you sat down on a swing and stared at your feet. 

You choked on your tears as you thought back on what happened. You knew that there was no reason for you to run but you had this small hope that maybe he liked you and he was helping you because you were special to him. After thinking this you realized something that you wished you had realized before, you had fallen in love with him. Your freezing cold hands embraced your cold cheeks as you rested your face into your hands and cried all your sorrows out. 

After sometime later, you decided it was best to head back home and try to sleep away the depression that had once again sneaked into your lonely life. Every step you took felt like it took even longer than the last one. Once you had managed to get home and enter your house, you saw a worried Jungkook who looked like he was so tired and lifeless sitting on your couch in the living room. Once he saw you in the doorway he immediately jumped up off the couch and gave you a great big hug. "Where were you? I was so worried when you just took off like that!" He said as his hug got tighter as if he was afraid to let you go and lose you. 

"I forgot something so I ran back to get it before going back to the library." You made an obvious lie to him. You knew he wasn't falling for it when he frowned at you and put his hands on your cheeks, making you face him. "Tell me the truth," he said in a commanding voice while staring deep into your eyes. Just like that you burst into tears and gripped onto his shirt as you balled your eyes out onto him. All you could do was apologize continuously as you buried your face into his sturdy chest. 

He wrapped his arms around you which made you feel secure as he whispered sweet nothings into your ear and reassuring you that everything was going to be alright and that he was here to protect you. He sat down on the couch and placed you in his lap as he made small circles on your back and kept repeating those sweet nothings. He started to hum a soft calming tune as he played with your hair. You could feel his breath hit your neck while humming and his chest goes up and down every time he would stop to inhale. How he would gently play with your hair and tug lightly on your hair sending tingles down your spine.

As if he put you into a trance, you slowly fell asleep and came close to his chest, snuggling closer to the warmth in front of you. As Jungkook hummed he noticed the lack of sobbing and the presence of a soft breathing that made him chuckle and smile. He was happy that you were now safely wrapped in his protective arms and relaxed after what seemed like such a stressful day for you. He was worried about what had made you break down so bad and hoped that you would open up to him in the morning.
