My Best Friend's Brother....And Then Some?

Ultimatum

You walk through the door of the house when everyone pauses at the sound of the news channel on the television screen. 

Everyone gathers around the television screen to watch the very man that had nearly put us in the ground was walking towards a seat in the courtroom. 

"Today is the last day of his case. We are here live as we listen for the judge's decision." A news anchor was saying over voice over. You look over at Jungkook, his eyebrows furrow, awaiting the justice.

"I have thought over the case. Mr. Hong, you have committed a great crime. Bangtan Sonyeodan are representatives of this country and have often brought peace over our country and around the world. In my honest opinion, you could say you have committed treason against this country. And since it is my understanding that I can decide your fate I will call it this. 

Mr. Hong, you have committed treason and are hereby sentenced to life in prison." 

The court room erupts in protests to have Mr. Hong sentenced to death. The judge orders the room to be silent. 

"It is worth to live with a horrible crime you have committed for the rest of your life, rather than to be put to death and be finished off." The judge says. And with one swift motion, Mr. Hong is brought up from his chair and is forced from the court room. Cameras follow in pursuit as he was placed into a prison van. The van doors shut, and with one evil, sly smirk, he was locked away for good.

The TV shuts off suddenly and everyone turns to look for who has the remote. 

"Let's not think of the past, but towards the future. We are here now and we are safe and very alive." It was Namjoon. The first person to break was Min Yoongi. You walk over to him and wrap your arms around him. It must have been hard for him. It has been hard on all of us. It is good to move on and let go. Speaking of which...

You look up to find Jungkook making eye contact with you. You stand up and leave Yoongi to Hoseok. Jungkook grabs your hand and pulls you into his room. He shuts the door quitely. He turns around and you both look at each other.

"I--," you both say over each other. 

"I am sorry. You were going to say something, so you go first," You say. 

"No, no, no, ladies first," Jungkook says. 

You shake your head, "Are we talking about physically or..."

"Oh, right." 

"Jungkook, I--" "Soo Rae, I--" 

Damn, can we get this right please? This is getting annoying now.

Jungkook grabs your waist and pulls you close to him. 

Your breath hitches at the swiftness of a move. You look down at him and smile. You both lean in and kiss. 

"I love you---"

"I am sorry---" You both say at the same time. 

"Wait, what?"

"What did you say?" The two of you take a step back. 

"I love you." Jungkook says. You look over at him. 

"Jungkook, don't," you say. 

"I have liked you for quite sometime," Jungkook says taking your hand. You pull your hand away and take a step back. 

"Jungkook, I don't know who I am. How can I love you if I haven't learned to love myself, first?" You say, taking a seat on his bed. 

"I can teach you."

"Can we not talk about this right now?" You ask. Jungkook frowns and sits on the bed next to you. 

"I understand." You look up at him after staring at the ground for some time.

That is a first.

"What were you apologizing about earlier?" 

"I wanted to say that I was sorry, about cheating in the game. Do you think we could play again? Just the two of us, just to get it right. I think that if we try this way, we could return to our former selves."

"If that is what you want. Let's do it." 

Jungkook stands up and reaches under the bed to pull out the magical game that changed you both. 

He stands up, holding the box and smiling. 

"Here goes nothing." 

Little did the both of you know, that this game knew you better than you knew yourself.
