『 Random fast-food, 08:23 P.M 』

When Jungkook sat across from (y/n), he first noticed how red were her eyes, a sigh that she had been crying. He wanted to ask her about it, but he kept his mouth shut. Surely something was bothering her and he was dying to know what.

Surprisingly, (y/n) took the lead and talked about her day. She told him almost everything. She needed to talk to someone. Although they weren't that close, she felt the urge to vent.

"You were really crying then..." The (h/c)-haired sighed, silently nodding. "I don't know how it feels to live away from your family and friends, but I do know how it feels to be lonely. But really, I don't think you are. That colleague of yours–she defended you. She wouldn't have done that if she didn't care."

(Y/n) was shocked by both his behavior and his words. What has gotten into him? she thought. Jungkook can be genuinely nice after all. For some reason, knowing that he was trying to comfort her made her feel a little better.

"I don't know... I am grateful though, she didn't have to do it but she still did." A light yet beautiful smile crept up her face. "But hey, why are you lonely? You have custimers gawking at you day and night, and you seem pretty close with your coworkers."

Jungkook scoffed, realizing he had let his guard down for a moment.

"I don't know." he lied "It's just a feeling I have..."

(Y/n) wasn't stupid, she wondered if his loneliness had anything to do with his ex-girlfriend. Willing to know, she asked him right away.

"Does it have anything do to with your ex?"

The man clicked his tongue. "(Y/n), please don't ruin the mood."

This time, she tilted her head on the side and insisted. "Why are you so defensive?"

Jungkook hated how (y/n) could rub him up the wrong way. One moment she was kind, fun and sweet, and the next one she'd turn into an equally nosy and annoying brat.

"Don't be unecesseraly curious."

(Y/n)'s point of view

"So, you're still going to deny and tell me to shut up?" I spat, sick and fed up with Jungkook's attitude.

The latter glares at me, obviously getting frustrated as well. He cracked his knuckles, still doing his best to avoid my gaze.

"This is ridiculous. For a minute you're nice, then you suddenly turn into some moody teenager! What the hell is wrong with you?"

Jungkook's jaw tightened at my words. Without a word, he rose from his seat and began to walk away. It took me a few seconds to realize he was leaving. Immediately, I got up from my seat and stormed outside the restaurant, scanning the almost deserted area to find him.

I noticed Jungkook standing before a crossroad, waiting for the lights to turn green. Without thinking, I ran to him and aggressively grabbed his arm. My emotions were multiplied due to the mental breakdown I've been through earlier. This guy was driving me crazy and I didn't know how to act around him. Yet I couldn't bear with his rudeness no more.

"I have no reason to answer your question. My personal life must remain private."

I snickered. "Said the guy who used me to pretend he had a girlfriend!"

"So what? It doesn't matter, you won't meet her again."

"You're missing the point! I felt bad for you, I wanted to help but I couldn't since you left without a word!"

"What makes you believe I need your help? Let's just have fun at the host club and nothing more."

"What are you saying?"

"My job is to please you, to make you have a great time and eventually convince you to come back. That's all business (y/n). I am not your friend."

I was truly taken aback by his cruel words. Cruel yet undeniably true. He was paid to have drinks with me, to make me laugh, to act as a friend, to make me a loyal costumer.

I'd been so stupid and naive the whole time. It was my fault, I was a fool for consciously ignoring the fact that being kind to me was basically his job. I meant nothing to Jungkook, and it pained me a bit too much. So, without a word, I whirled around and left.
