❝Goodbye?❞
____________

THE NEXT DAY, THERE WAS NO STOPPING, I didn't see any hope of stay in Jungkook's eyes, he seemed emotionless. He didn't, even once, try to persuade me into staying with him, or not divorce him. He just didn't. I was worried, that he's lost hope over everyone, I didn't know why, but I didn't want to leave him.

"Here we are." He muttered, stopping the car. I flinched out of my thoughts when the car jerked, looking out at the court. My eyes softened, from the corner of my eyes, I could see him holding back a urge to cry and sob, he's gripped the steering wheel tightly between his fingers, I could see the wedding ring dig into his skin lightly.

"Let's go." Before any other thing could happen, I said quietly and went to open the door, right when he grabbed my hand, I turned to him, he took my finger where the ring was, "This ring...it was special to me." I listened carefully, not protesting or stopping him from gripping my hands. "This was the ring I gave to Seran on our engagement day, it was supposed to be her wedding ring, you know?"

I blinked, biting my lips as I saw the tears in the corner of his eyes. "She used to complain because the size wasn't right, I was so hurried that I never even asked her ring size before proposing, I just took the most beautiful and most expensive ring I could find and set in her finger. So, it never fitted her finger right, but you...it fits you perfectly, maybe," He paused, looking up to smile lightly at me.

"Maybe it was actually meant for you." Tears welled up in my eyes, blocking my vision of him. My heart stopped when I couldn't see him for a second, I quickly batted those tears away just so I could see his face clearly, I was scared, to lose him even for a second.

"Do you know why we wear it in this finger?" He asked, staring into my eyes. I kept our eye contact fixed, never did I ever blink away from his sad and gloomy face. "Because..the vein in this finger goes straight to our heart." I replied with a crooked voice, a small sob choking up at the back of my throat.

"But our connection never connected to the heart." Yes it did. I didn't answer that, his face became redder as tears fell down, falling to my palm, I couldn't keep my eyes off of his scared ones. "We never connected or loved with passion for even a second." Yes we did.

"I only used you..as an excuse of myself." No, you didn't. He cried harder, looking down, "I'm.. The biggest jerk on the planet for the thing I'm going to do." My eyes widened when he pulled on my hand forcibly and pulled the ring off of my finger, the ring that had been in my finger for these six months, the ring that reminded me that I'm married to him, the ring that saved me from many things, the ring that he gave me,

He just took it off.

The metal left my flesh with a light scratch, my breath tightening in my throat, I wanted to scream, so loudly, I wanted to yell at him, I wanted to kick him, I wanted to tear him apart with my swears, the pain ice held all this time, just for him.

He's taking away something so precious to me. Something that belonged to only me.

"As*hole." My breath hitched as he cried, not able to face me, I looked at my empty finger, the light scratch swelling up a little red, "You jerk!" I yelled, tears finally falling down as I hit him, I kicked him, pushed him, yelled at him and what not. I took out all that I've held in all this time, I couldn't stop myself from crying, I couldn't believe he could do something like this.

After taking away my everything, after making me reach the highest place in my own heart, he's just shattered it all down, without even a single thought of me.
