calm yourself down

Once you reached the apartment, you were heaving with stress and exhaustion. Everything was weighing on your shoulders. This life that you thought you had built for yourself was falling apart all at once. 

Jungkook probably didn't hear much. It was most likely that he had just come looking for you because you had been gone longer then expected. It made sense, right? 

With that mindset, you decided to take a hot shower to calm yourself down. 

You went to the bathroom and undressed, turning on the hot water and stepping in. You let the heat strip you of any thoughts; You let it melt you into the most basic form of yourself. Just a body. No thoughts, no stress, no impending doom due to your bad decisions that included falling for your target. 

Just as you were able to take your mind off it, you heard the ominous opening and closing of the bathroom door. Your breath caught in your throat and you convinced yourself to look towards the sound. Through squinted eyes, you saw a dark silhouette through the steamy shower door. 

"Jungkook?" You asked quietly, but then you noticed the dark shape in his hand. A gun. Before you could say anything else, he interrupted your thoughts with a low and growly voice.

"You....you're the one. The one who's been trying to kill me." Oh god, he heard. 

"Trust me, it's not what you think." 

"You think I haven't figured it out? I've put everything together." His strong voice wavered. "You're King. The one I've been studying."

His figure was shaking by then and suddenly he slapped a hand against the glass door. You screamed involuntarily, grabbing the handle so he couldn't pull it open. 

 "Everything was fake, you've been lying all along!" He yelled angrily. 

"Jungkook please, let me explain!" When he didn't give in, you opened the shower door suddenly. It caused him to slip and fall, which gave you time to grab your towel and sprint away. 

He was directly on your heels, you were hardly able to beat him to your room and slam the door behind you. You heard him grunt as he slammed into it, unable to stop his momentum quick enough. Your still-wet hands somehow managed to hold the handle as he shook it, tears streaming down your face. 

"Jungkook please, I'm begging you. Let m-me explain." He stopped trying to open the door for a moment, though his hand remained on the handle.

"Are you King." He asked in a quiet and conflicted voice.

"Jungkook I-"

"Are you King!" This time he shouted and the truth came spilling out.

"Y-yes, I'm King. But please, you have to listen. I don't want that life anymore. I did what I had to do but I want to be different now. We just need to take down the Brass Violets Gang, the one your brother is being controlled by. I have a plan, if you will just trust me long enough to tell it."

Only the sound of hard breathing was heard for a few moments.

"How. How am I supposed to trust you? After you lied about everything?"

"Because you know me. I lied about why I was there, but I couldn't have faked the way I acted towards you. They were genuine feelings and it was a genuine kiss. Please, just give me a chance to show you." 

You heart him curse under his breath before releasing the handle. You told him your plan and though he was very unhappy with it, he agreed. 

"I don't trust you. But I will work with you to take down the gang. That is all." 

And then you heard him walk away.
