FORGET HER

- in which jungkook just can't seem to get his ex off his mind so you try your hardest—as his new girlfriend—to rid him of the memories of her; requested by blueepoetic

Squirming around with a cheeky smile, you slowly rest your head upon Jungkook's chest, his chuckle deep as he drapes his arm across your middle, your head bouncing with the vibration of his fond laugh. Instinctively, he lifts his free hand to your hair and begins to sift his fingers through the locks, the faint but sweet floral scent of your hair putting a satisfied smile onto his face.

You hum mindlessly as you scroll through the list of movies displayed on Jungkook's screen, noticing the way he just silently watches you with a smile, allowing you to choose what the two of you while away your afternoon watching. Swallowing down your giggle, you find a comedy that you used to watch a few years ago and turn to look at Jungkook expectantly.

He breaks himself out of his trance and flicks his eyes to the screen, his smile now melancholic as you pout in confusion, reaching up to cup his face.

"Chae used to watch this movie with me," he mumbles, scoffing pathetically at himself as he throws his head back with a groan. "I used to hate it but, of course, she made me watch it with her and I could no longer hate it. It made her laugh so much and I think I watched her more than I watched the mo—"

He brings his gaze back to you, sighing when he sees you nodding slowly, your bottom lip in between your teeth as you worriedly play with your fingers.

"Sorry," he whispers, pressing a kiss to your forehead apologetically as you turn your head back to look at him, tilting it curiously as your heart begins to pound against your rib cage. What you're about to ask him could be risky or relieving but it needs to be done.

For your sake, at least.

"Do you still love her?" You ask firmly, your face expressionless as you await your answer patiently, ignoring the guilt sickeningly bubbling in your chest.

Chae, with her glowing smile and beautiful soul, is Jungkook's ex-girlfriend. The two only broke up about three months ago and when he found out that she had already moved on with someone new, he decided that it was time he do same. Luckily for him, you were single and just his type.

So, of course, you became the one to fill in the giant gap that Chae left behind.

You see, Chae and Jungkook were perfect for each other. They rarely argued and shared almost everything in common but something snapped inside of Chae and she couldn't take it anymore. Jungkook was left heartbroken, his body merely a shell as he went by his days sulking to his friends. When he started dating you, he began to open up a little and started to enjoy life again but it was obvious that he wasn't going to let the memories of Chae go so easily.

Whether it be your choice of clothes or way of eating, Jungkook would always find a way to relate it to his time with Chae. At first, it annoyed you to hear her name every single time you did something. After all, you were his girlfriend now and it hurt to hear him talk so fondly about another woman.

But as time went on and he slowly came around to understanding what he was doing, you pitied him. Every time he would make the mistake of saying her name, he'd sigh, bring you into his arms and apologise, the guilt in his eyes still present even after you assured him that it was okay.

"No, I don't," he quickly answers, eyes wide in alarm as his hold on you tightens noticeably, your heart singing in relief. "I promise. I'm sorry—again."
