Redemption | 48

Jungkook's POV:

I have been waiting for Y/N to arrive at our waiting spot for around thirty minutes now.  I knew that she probably wouldn't come, but I still had a small hope in my heart that she'd arrive. 

'She wouldn't stand me up right?'   That's what I told myself the whole time.  The whole time I sat on the park bench alone.  In the cold.  All the way until midnight.

"Dude, what're you doing here?"  Taehyung asked, waking me up.

"W-what?"  I looked around frantically for any sign of Y/N but only sighed.  I fell asleep waiting for her.  "I-I, I asked her to meet me here so I could apologize.  I guess she didn't come," I said sadly.

Taehyung looked at me surprised.  'I guess he's just as surprised as I am.'   This was the first time Y/N had stood anyone up.  Even if she was busy, she'd make time for us.  If she was going to be late, she'd tell us beforehand.  No matter what, she'd make it through.

Thinking about that made me even more disappointed with myself.  'Jungkook, what'd you expect?  You call her an attention whore, shove her, throw away the gift she worked so hard to get you, believe your fake ass girlfriend, and then trip her in front of everyone.'  

Seeing me frown, Taehyung grabbed my arm and pulled me up.  "Yah, Jungkookie.  She'll forgive you.  I promise.  Don't be so sad.  I know you didn't mean any of the things you did or said to her.  You're a good person.  I shouldn't have gotten mad at you when it was party my fault.  I should've told you about Ji Woo's lies, but we all thought that it was better to make you oblivious to the truth."

He playfully nudged my shoulder, laughing.  "You like her now don't you?"

"I do like her hyung," I said smiling.  That smile didn't last for even a second.  "A-and now I messed everything up.  I hurt her so much and she doesn't want to see me anymore.  W-what if she loves someone else?  Why am I even saying this, I don't deser-"

"Just shut up Jeon," Taehyung said.  What he said made me smile a little, that's what Y/N used to tell me.  "You can't make her fall in love with you, but she won't push you away.  Y/N really valued the friendship the two of you shared.  She's the type person willing to swallow their pride."

She would swallow her pride.  She's willing to do that for everyone.  That's how selfless she is.  That was one of the things that made me fall for her.  How considerate she is, how much she cares for others.

"You're right," I mutter bitterly.  "She'll probably forgive me, but won't want to talk or be near me again."  

"Don't say that Jungkookie, I promise you.  In time, she'll warm up to you again," Taehyung said confidently.

I knew that he said that to make me feel better.  After what I did, Y/N wouldn't want to even associate herself with me.  Even so, I weakly smiled and said, "Thanks hyung, I hope that'll happen."

We walked together until we reached my house.  

"Get a good night's sleep Jungkook.  You need energy to sweep Y/N off her feet," Taehyung teasingly said, winking at me.

"Yah, hyung!"  Even though I was embarrassed, I did want to impress Y/N.  Show her my true character.  "By the way, why were you out so late?"

"I couldn't sleep, so I went for a walk, but then I saw you sleeping on the bench," he explained.

"Ahh, okay, thanks for walking me home.  Good night!"

Y/N's POV:

I woke up groaning and groggy.  I grimaced from the piercing pain in my head.  'I have a headache.'   I tried inhaling air and breathing as I normally do, but my nose was clogged.  'Great, I have a stuffy nose too.'
