Let Go

Chapter 14

"Your beauty can never compare. Your eyes are so gorgeous, they could sell out millions of contact lenses in just one capture. Your lips are so plump, anyone would get a heart attack if you give them a flying kiss. Your character is so unique. You have your own charm," Jungkook looks up with his doe eyes.

"Will you please?"

"No," Jin straight up says and pulls the maknae to the stand from the ground.

"Jin hyung," Jungkook whines and pouts.

"Jungkook, I said no. I can't give you my secret recipe!"

Just then, the rest of the members enter the studio and joins in on the conversation.

"Why's Jungkookie asking for your secret recipe?" Hoseok asks, wrapping an arm around Taehyung's shoulder as they gather in the middle.

"Y/N's coming over to watch our practice and Jungkook wants to cook for her after," Jin replies with a roll of his eyes.

"Y/N's coming over?" Taehyung jumps excitedly. "We haven't seen her in like almost a month!"

"Yeah, she got busy with her studies. She had exams for a week straight, I hope she got to rest well." Jungkook sighs.

"And she's coming over tonight? Wouldn't you rather have her take a rest instead of letting her stay here?" Jimin butts in, shocking everyone.

They've never heard such tone come from him. He has always been so gentle and careful with his words and tone.

"She said she wanted to come. I wouldn't hold her back if that's what she wants," Jungkook retorts.

A sudden tension rises and everyone in the room could feel it. Jimin doesn't answer. Instead, he bites his bottom lip to keep himself from saying something he will most probably regret. He knew Jungkook was right. Who is he to dictate what Y/N wants? Who was he?

Yoongi cuts through the tension, calling everyone's attention.

"We should start warming up. The sooner we start the sooner we finish."

They all nod in agreement and get into position. Loud music starts blaring and they begin stretching.

Fifteen minutes into the warm-up session, they're all caught up with their stretching that neither of them notice the door opening. You enter the studio, smiling at the sight. This would be the first time you would ever see them practicing without having to hide behind the door – unlike before.

Hoseok notices you through the mirror so he yells, "Y/N!" They all turn their heads to the door's direction and immediately get up from the floor.

They all run up to greet you until it was Jimin's turn. He scratches the back of his neck and awkwardly opens his arms wide, "hey?" You smile and give him a quick hug, "hey, Chim."

As you let go of him, Jungkook places himself infront of you. He shows you his bunny smile and opens his arms out wide. "Don't I get a hug?"

You cross your arms and raise a brow at him, "why should you get one?"

He playfully pouts, "I haven't seen you for weeks!" He throws his arms out dramatically, exaggerating the "for weeks" part of his response. You giggle and shake your head, "not enough reason."

"Well, then, I guess I'll just have to give you a hug," he takes a step forward to engulf you in his arms but you quickly run and hide behind Namjoon. He groans before trying to get past Namjoon, who now thinks has the duty to protect you – and so he does.

Taehyung jumps in, helping Namjoon block Jungkook. You giggle as Jin and Hoseok go to each of your sides and yells, "You'll never get her!" to Jungkook.

Yoongi sighs but decides to join as well, running in tiny steps behind Jungkook and jumps on his back. "Run Y/N! Run!"

The practice ends quite late. It's almost 12 midnight when they finish and none of them have had a proper meal yet. In the middle of their practice, you went out to buy some food for yourself and the guys.

"Good job, everyone." Namjoon exhales as he puts his hands on his hips and catches his breath. Jungkook approaches you, his sweat dripping from his hair and his forehead. "Are you tired? I'm sorry you had to wait." You stand from the chair you've been sitting on for the past hours and grab his towel to wipe his face yourself. "I'm okay. I should be the one asking you that. Are you hungry? We could eat outside or we could have food delivered at your dorm or my house. We can invite the guys as well, I'm sure they're famished. I could call someone to cook for us at home –" you don't notice that you've been rambling until Jungkook smiles at you sweetly.

You stop as soon as you notice him simply staring at you, "what?"

"I love you," he says. It's been almost a month since you first said your I love you's but, you're still not used to it. You could only manage to look down to bite back a smile and hide the blush that crept up your cheeks.

"And we can have food delivered at the sdorm. I'll tell the others," he continues. You simply nod and see his feet shuffle to walk toward the guys but, before he could walk any further. You pull his arm, "Kookie." He looks at you, raising his eyebrows, "hmm?"

"I love you too," you smile at him.

As he hears those words, he smiles and grabs the hand holding on this arm. He kisses your knuckles before walking off towards his members.

You don't notice but, Jimin wasn't with the group when Jungkook approached them. He was grabbing his water bottle by your side when he heard the little exchange you had with Jungkook. He felt his heart shatter when you replied. He knew.

You didn't love him anymore.

You were in love with Jungkook now.

You fell out of love with Jimin.
