『 Bangtan Host Club, 03:47 P.M 』

(Y/n) wasn't smiling at all. She refused to look Jungkook in the eye, seemingly unfazed as she played with her hands. She didn't want to be there, in a quiet corner where no one would couls bother them. She didn't like it. To be honest, she was eager to get back to Namjoon.

Jungkook was awfully nervous. Aware of the woman's discomfort, he was at a loss for words. What could he say that would lead her to open up? That was the first time he ever witnessed a cold and distant (Y/n).

"Aren't you going to say anything?" she finally broke the silence

She was annoyed.

"I am sorry."

"Again?" she snickered "Seems like we have this conversation at least once a month."

"No (y/n), please listen to me."

Jungkook was desperate, he didn't bother hiding it anymore.

"I didn't mean anything I said! I swear—I'm nothing but a fucking coward!" He breathed out, slowly getting to it. He had to tell her, he owed her the truth. "The woman, my ex, I'm willing to—"

But this time, she refused to listen. "Don't get there. I don't care. Stop talking." Jungkook's lips parted, as if he wanted to say something. "You are unbelievable! Why should I listen to you now? After you've humiliated me and made me feel even worse than I was at first!"

"I fucked up (Y/n), I promise I didn't mean a single word!"

Eyes widened, the frustrated girl took a step back. "Leave me alone."

"Wait!" Jungkook gripped her wrist, causing her to flinch. "Please (Y/n), hear me out..." begging, he was begging "Just this once."

His dark brown eyes, she loved them. Stern or lively, they remained beautiful and bewitching. She was weak, Jungkook made her weak. His tearful eyes shining were enough to make her stay.

Jungkook scoffed, preventing the tears from falling. Making sure no one was listening, he gazed down at the woman. He breathed in, breathed out, then spoke.

"Her name is Soora. She was my whole life, I loved her since I was a teenager. We went to school together and were friends for years." He bit his quivering lower lip, never adverting his eyes from the attentive girl's gaze. "One day, she kissed me and confessed. I've never been happier. We were eighteen, in love and we felt like we owned the world." A sad smile crept up his face as he recalled the good memories. "Then I found a job at the host club, it ruined everything. Soora was getting jealous and possessive, trying to convince me to quit. I loved my job though, and I still do."

"What happened?" (Y/n) asked although she had an idea.

"Cliché story, she cheated. It broke my heart and I became an asshole."

Out of the blue, a faint smile appeared on the girl's lips. "You're not that bad." She felt the need to reassure him. Perhaps it was because of the guilt in his eyes, or the way his shoulder slouched down as a proof of the regret he tried to express so hard. Either way, you couldn't stay mad at him, not after he had opened up.

"Why are you so nice to me when all I did was being a jerk to you?"

Boldly, (y/n) rose her hand to caress Jungkook's hand. The latter closed his eyes, eager for her touch.

"In all honesty?" the apprehensive male made her smile softly "I care for you."
