[chapter forty-one]

Eyes widened, I just stared at him as if I was frozen in shock. Jungkook's gaze lowered when my fork fell into my plate, the clatter bringing me back to reality.

"Your girlfriend?" I said softly, as if the word would break if I hadn't handled it carefully. He pursed his lips and nodded, anticipating my answer. When I still stayed silent, he exhaled before saying, "You don't have to answer right now, just.. think about it."

I nodded and we continued to eat, joking and talking here and there, as if our awkward conversation had never happened. 

He drove me home and I thanked him, heading into the safety of my home. Right when the door closed, I placed a hand on my chest and felt my heart racing hard. His girlfriend? Jungkook's girlfriend?

It's not like I don't want to.. but what if the same thing happens? What if he ends up leaving me.. just like all the others did?

No, Jungkook's not like the others, I reminded myself. He's done so much for me, saved me multiple times. Blush crept onto my cheeks as I thought of him. The way he touched me.. kissed me.

At this point my whole face was red and hot. Ugh, Jasmine just figure out if you love him or not!

"That boy is driving me crazy.." I mumbled before stripping from my dress and changing into something more comfortable. I laid down in my bed, resting my eyes, but immediately opening them when I heard my phone vibrate.

I groaned as I reached for it, my eyes barely open. 

jungkook:

meet me at the cafe @ 10 am tmrw - taehyung

I stood in the cold, infront of the beige exterior of the cafe, my nose and lips cracked and pink from the chilly weather. I looked to my side and waved at the man walking closer to me.

"Goodmorning," I greeted. "Why did you want to meet me?" 

"I heard you and Jungkook went on a little date yesterday," he started. "It wasn't really a date- " I muttered.

"Anyways, I just wanted to tell you to stay away from him." he said simply. My eyebrows furrowed as my head shot in his direction. "Why? I'm his frie- "

"You are a distraction," he said, the somberness in his voice surprising me. "He's been missing practice and forgets his choreo more often ever since he met you."

I scoffed at his reasoning, before I replied, my voice a little raised. "And? That's my fault?" Taehyung turned to me, startled from my explosion. "Also, I don't know why you're always so rude to me, I haven't done anything to you!"

Taehyung scoffed, his eyes narrowing. "Don't play dumb. You know what you did."

"No I dont- "

"You ruined my life!" he yelled, his hands were now firmly gripping my shoulders as if he was holding on for dear life. My eyes widened, surprised by his sudden outburst. When he saw my reaction, he let go and calmed down, both of us silent.

When he had collected himself, he continued,

"Your dad forced her to have you, even though he knew that she wasn't in the right health! He pressured and forced her, to the point where she.. where she died."

His voice went low, and my eyes softened as a tear trickled down his cheeks. He sniffled, quickly wiping his cheek and looking away. "Because of you, I lost my mother...and was raised an orphan."

My gaze softened, despite the fact I was very confused. How was it because of me? What did I do?

"Taehyung, I'm sorry for your loss. But, how am I possibly involved..?" I mumbled, fidgeting with my fingers. He turned to look at me, his eyes locking with mine. "Jasmine-ah.."

".. you're my sister."
