Tomorrow | JK (Book 2) [Completed]

Chapter 28

Day 10 Part 1 - "It's your heart that you should listen to"

"You look antsy today... What happened?"

I leaned my head on Taehyung's shoulder as he observed my demeanor after tucking his phone inside his pants pocket.

"Well," I sighed exaggeratedly. "Let's just say I'm preparing for a very big moment to happen. One that puts everything in its place and ends not only something I ha- disliked but also something I cherished..."

"And what would those be?" His attention was solely focused on me now.

"It's... complicated, Tae- I mean, hyung." Another heavy sigh escaped me as I closed my eyes. His soothing musky smell grew stronger and I tried to calm my erratic nerves by concentrating on it. "It would make my and someone else's life so much easier but it would end our relationship... perhaps, completely."

He hummed, his chest and shoulders vibrating to the sound. "Is this about Miryeong? Are you breaking up with her?"

My eyes flew open and I squeaked out, "Huh?"

"I mean, you two are drifting apart, it's something anyone can make out after seeing you two together," he whispered, leaning back in his chair. "I'm more surprised at how long you two lasted... She's a nice girl and cares for you... a lot... but it's as clear as day that you don't and can't reciprocate her feelings."

I didn't understand what he was trying to say but his words took me by surprise. Jungkook didn't like her back?

"I'm not in the position to tell you what to do but it's best for you to break up with her," he sighed, playing with his nails. "Relationships like this with only one person loving the other are bound to turn toxic and one or both of you could end up broken as it's obvious that you still love Y/N."

My breathing halted for a second and I lifted my head up to look at him, bewilderment crossing my face. He returned the look with a knowing gaze.

"Y/N suddenly appeared in your life again and now that she's back, the feelings that you buried deep in your heart are emerging. Even though you're scared of loving again, there's no denying that what you feel for her isn't insignificant. I know how broken you were after she cut you off... all those nights you cried, sometimes not even being able to sing a single line... Everyone does."

My heart was aching and throbbing with every word he said, causing my head to lower down, my eyes to prickle with tears. There was nothing else I wanted than to turn back time and correct my mistakes at that moment.

"Have you two talked with each other? Just pouring out your true feelings, no lies?"

Have we?

"I... don't think so," I whispered before trying my hardest to take a deep breath. "I just felt like I couldn't tell hi- her my true feelings since I'm in a relationship and because I thought she won't accept me... and that I would become a nuisance... I'm afraid..."

Taehyung gently patted my shoulder, trying to cheer me up and prevent the atmosphere from turning too sour.

"In the end, it's your heart that you should listen to. Worrying about those useless things will only lessen the time you could spend being happy. At the end of the day, it's what you want to do that matters. We all want you to be happy."

His words somehow lit up a spark of hope inside me and I finally lifted my head to see him smiling warmly at me.

"Thank you, Tae- hyung!" My voice rose as I corrected myself.

His eyes widened slightly before loud chuckles left him. "You know, you've been acting quite weird lately." He was still smiling as he narrowed his eyes. "Just like how you did when you brought Y/N home years ago."

I was wearing a goofy and 'scared shitless' smile at this point, praying that he or any of the members don't question about those 'weird' acts since only one day was left. Today was the end of our double life so unnecessary questions were unnecessary.

"I guess Y/N does this to you?" He smirked, nudging my side and I just went along with it, chuckling humorlessly.

I looked to the front to see the boys still doing their dances, sweating profusely but practicing relentlessly.

"Welp, break time is over," Taehyung chimed and jumped up, me following suit.

"Yeah. Great talk."

💫💫💫

"See you tomorrow, Jungkook," Hoseok sang and got off the elevator, waving at me.

"Good night, hyung," I exclaimed, waving back at him before the doors closed and the lift continued going up.

The day went great but too fast much to my disappointment. As it was the last day, I wanted the time to pass slowly...

Perhaps it was because I was afraid to end it. I didn't want the connection I had with Jungkook to end. Even though I hated this curse to the core, now that I was erasing it, I couldn't let it go.

"Just one more day. Just one more hour. Just one more minute," I kept thinking to myself as I got off the elevator and took painfully slow steps to the door to his apartment.

When I realized that I would be leaving this apartment tonight, I couldn't stop the whimpers from leaving my mouth. I was taking everything for granted. I was so used to living with him that I couldn't imagine myself without him.

I couldn't open the door.

My phone suddenly rang as I stood there in the hallway under the bright lights. It was Jungkook who was calling me.

I hesitantly took it.

"Hey, Y/N. Are you coming home? Is the practice running late?" His voice was laced with worry.

"Uh, no, I'm actually coming right now," I breathed out with a chuckle and opened the door before walking inside.

This wasn't the time to be anxious.

I should end what I started and take full responsibility.

"I'm home," I exclaimed and took off my shoes after hanging up.

I should put things back in their places.
