Like a bad habit, we find our way back to each other. No matter what terrible things we put each other though, we always do.
Like an addiction, I possess a deep desire for him and him the same. It's unstoppable, the way we crave each other.
A vice.

December 12 Aira's
Jungkook and the woman who was supposed to get married in less than an hour were... kissing. It didn't look lustful at all. Just genuine and full of regret. Was it regret for kissing or was it regret that they weren't allowed to kiss now? It was an uncomfortable situation for me to be third-wheeling in. I quietly backed into the bedroom again with a hot face, not knowing what to do. I bit my bottom lip, thinking.
"Okay! The dress fits but the shoes were too small so I'll go with these sneakers!" I said loudly, looking down, pretending to adjust the dress as I walked out of the room.
When I heard the shuffling of them moving away from each other, I looked at them both who were now standing with a safe distance between them. Jungkook stood with his hands in his pockets and an emotionless face. The soon-to-be married bride cleared her throat and looked away from Jungkook, giving me a smile which I knew was a front. They shared the same feeling at that moment I'm sure.
"I-it looks great on you!" She complimented, voice slightly shaky.
"Thanks." I said, noticing that she was wearing a new necklace. A thin one with a single round diamond at the middle. I also noticed that the box that Jungkook had in his hand was opened on the vanity, empty. Putting two and two together, I figured out that he got it for her.
My heart felt heavy.
What's the story here?
"You look nice," Jungkook muttered and grabbed my wrist, dragging me out of the room and to an empty hallway near a large ceiling to floor window.
He let go of my wrist and stared at me. "I changed my mind. We aren't going to this wedding."
"What, why?" I asked innocently, knowing exactly why.
"Don't play dumb. I know you saw." He said lowly with his intense gaze trained on me which made my face falter.
I looked away. "W-why did you kiss her?" I asked quietly.
"Why do you care?" He snapped at me.
"I don't but let me just say this." I glanced at him briefly before looking down again.
"What happened in there was a mistake. I could see it on both of your faces." I said. "I don't know what history you two have but look at the kiss as closure from the lingering emotions you both clearly feel from the past. Just make sure it won't happen ever again. So... D-don't beat yourself up for it. What happened, happened." I continued, still looking away.
None of that even made sense, right? Why am I even comforting Jeon Jungkook of all people right now?
He was silent for a moment that seemed like a year. "It's snowing." He said, breaking the silence.
