"Lisa, we are done." He told with tears streaming his eyes.

"Huh?" I was dumbstruck, watching him cry helplessly.

"I'm leaving. Sorry."

"Don't Jungkook!" As I try to catch hold of him, he kept moving farther away. I just watched his retreating figure.

"AH!!!!!!" I jolted up awake.

When I was a kid, I frequently used to experience nightmares. But they stopped once I reached my adulthood. Since I experienced it again, after so many years, there must be a cause behind it.

The first thing I did after waking up from that nightmare was to search for Jungkook. I then saw him sleeping soundly beside me. I sighed in relief.

I then thought that it must be the movie I watched before going to bed.

Me and Jungkook, both of us were free that night, from the stressful work. To make it up with each other, we thought of doing a movie marathon. But we went to bed after just one movie.

It was a really sad movie with a tragic love ending. I cried buckets of water while Jungkook was watching the movie with no emotions on his face whatsoever.

"Why can't lovers be together at the end?" I asked wiping my tears.

Jungkook flicked my forehead and scolded me "Silly, this is just a movie..."

"I'm just sad! I wish all lovers can be happy" I whined like a baby.

So, that was the cause?

It may sound childish to others but to me, it was worse than someone stabbing you in your heart a thousand times.

But then, I shrugged it off since it was just a dream and thought of going back to sleep when I heard a husky, deep voice "What are you doing in the middle of the night?"

Seeing him awake, I just wanted to hug the life out of him. I gave him a tight bear hug. He started stroking my hair gently "Was it a nightmare?"

I nodded my head not looking up. He then cupped my face and gave me a gentle but soft kiss on my forehead. I blushed by this sudden act of love.

Jungkook went back to bed and intertwined his fingers with mine. He looked at my eyes and spoke: "I'll never leave you."

Surprised, I asked "Huh? How do you know?"

He flicked my forehead and told me to go back to sleep.

Later, from Jimin, I found out that Jungkook couldn't sleep that night because I repeated 'don't leave me' for 723 times and I was quite loud.

On top of that, after Jungkook kissed me, I started repeating 'another one' for 1026 times.

What surprised me more was the fact that Jungkook patiently counted the number of times I repeated those sentences...

He was intentionally awake, listening to me, with a smile on his face.

Happy Valentine's Day!
