The ride was silent, not the comfortable one, the air was tense inside the car, and both of us trying to stay quiet.

"what did she tell you?" I looked at Jungkook who finelly talked.

"nothing"

"you're lying, Soumin..." he glanced at me, "whatever the fuck she told you, she's just trying to manipulate you"

Sure she is, but she has a point.

"she said nothing anyway" I insisted.

"if so, why are you so tense and uncomfortable?"

"what happened, why did your boss call you?" I asked changing the subject.

"nothing"

"i see, let's keep it this way then" i said, turning to the window and ignoring him for the rest of the ride.

~later in the night:

"idk, it's just, I know I shouldn't trust her and all, but she has a point, she's kinda right" I told Areum on the phone, walking around in my room

*why don't you just talk to him about it all, this won't help, it'll only make things worse*

"I did, and he changed the subject, it's obvious that he doesn't trust me, but Wtf do I look like a gang member"

*I mean, who knows, a lot of teenagers are trying anything for the money these days*

"seriously?!... Gotta go" I said and hung up, sure talking with Areum wasn't the best thing to do now.

As I layed down on my bed and started getting ready for a breakdown, my phone vibrated signaling a message.

____________

Kook❤️ :

I'm outside your house, let's talk.

Seen.

___________

I sprinted up on my feet, reading the message over and over again, just to make sure I wasn't
hallucinating.

I took a screenshot and sent it to Areum, asking her what I should do or say.

_____________

Butt's girlfriend 💜:

Wait don't go out, say something like my parents here or I just took a shower, just don't give him what he wants so easily.

You:

OK ok, I'll say I just took a shower.

Butt's girlfriend 💜:

Wait I think that's a bad idea, you'll look like a liar after that.

I walked to the window and took a glance at the outside, there was no car outside, but Jungkook was waiting there.

I sent him a message telling him that I just took a shower and I will get sick if I go out, and he should go home.

But he didn't respond.

I looked at the window to see him folding his arms and standing there.

Well maybe I should stop being a piece of shit and come out.

I walked to the kitchen, and started helping mom cleaning up, just to take the trash out.

I wore my coat over my pijama and went outside.

I threw the trash and walked to Jungkook slowly, but he didn't seem to notice me.

"hey" I said, he looked up, and then pulled me into a tight hug.

"what's wrong?" I asked, not hugging him back.

"I'm sorry"

Jungkook's hands felt so cold, it was like he's freezing, I mean he probably is.

"where's your car?" I asked.

"why aren't you hugging me back? I said I'm sorry" I moved my arms around his waist, as I felt him relax a bit.

"i left it in the station" he said after a while.

I moved away from him, holding his face in my hands and trying to see him in the dark.

"baby, you look tired, you should go home before you get sick" I told him playing with his hair, and tucking it behind his red ears.

"I'm sorry, I'm just really stressed, I have a lot of work these days, and if I don't tell you about it, is only to protect you, and to not worry you, not because I don't trust you, I actually only trust you, you're the only person I talk to about my family and problems, so don't get mad at me, I love you Soumin" he spoke all at once.

"I love you too" the second I finished my sentence, Jungkook's lips were on mine.

I hope my parents don't ask why I'm taking too long to throw the trash, or come out to check on me.

He let go of me and smiled, "go in now, I'll call Jaehyun hyung to bring me my car"

"ok" I said and kissed his lips one last time before going in.

"be careful these days" that was the last thing he said as I walked in.

Once inside, my mom looked me up and down, her hands on her hips.

"what?"

"what took you so long?"

"my legs froze" I spoke fast and went to my room before she could ask me something else.

When I looked at the window, Jungkook was getting in his car, that just arrived.

Be careful these days.

His words repeated in my head, over and over again.

I hope nothing bad happens.

Tbc...
