That Should Be Me (Jeon Jungkook x Reader)

Part 1

Y/N's POV

Sitting from afar, I watched that two figures in front of me made their vow. They were both smiling like they truly found the love of their lives. "Y/N," Taehyung nudged me. He looked at me like I'm someone to be pitied. But no. I should not feel that way. "What?" I whispered as I leaned my head sideways close to him, not looking away from the scene in front of me. "Are you sure about this?" His voice was full of worry. He was more unsure than I am. This time, I looked at him, forcing a thin smile. "We were in-invited. Why not come?" My voice cracked mid-sentence but I acted like it was nothing. Deep inside, I was hurting like someone was stabbing me several times. I opted to stay thinking that he will change his mind if he sees me. But I was wrong. It was all in my mind. What did I ever do wrong to lose you?

"You may now kiss the bride," said the priest who gave his blessing to the newlywed couple. I saw how he cupped her cheeks. How he looked at her lovingly. Wasn't he like that to me before?

"Y/N, I can't watch you hurting like this." Taehyung grabbed my hand and took me out of the place.

Jungkook's POV

I caught a glimpse of Taehyung holding Y/N's hand as they headed outside the venue. I felt something in me that I should never have now that I'm married to the girl that I knew, I love. He took him with her like she was some kind of a precious thing. I watched how his hand travelled to her waist to help her walk. I saw how his eyes looked so protective of her. It's not right for me to feel jealous.

I came back to my senses when a close friend of mine called my name. "Jungkook," it was Namjoon in a black formal suit like the rest. Standing beside him were Seokjin, Yoongi, Hoseok and Jimin. They are my close friends including Taehyung. But the friendship that I had with Taehyung started to drift apart when the news broke about my engagement. And I know it was all because of Y/N. I never thought that I will fall for someone else while dating Y/N. Is it wrong?

"Congratulations," a sad smile formed on Namjoon lips as I walked near him, while my wife talked to her friends. "Are you really sure about this?" Yoongi asked as he eyed me from head to toe. I felt intimidated but this was a decision I made that will change my life forever, for the better. Or so I thought.

"Guys, how many times should I tell you. I'm so sure of marrying Ari," my lips curved upwards with the thought of her. "How about Y/N? Have you thought of her?" Seokjin asked with his arms crossed in front of him. I sighed. Why do they always ask me about Y/N? "We ended things about us and it was a mutual decision," I said as I put my hands in my pockets.

"She thought of your happiness first," this time Hoseok chimed in. His sad eyes met mine. "But don't you think, it's just temporary?"

"Come on guys," I let out a nervous laugh. "We should be having fun," I motioned to the people celebrating around us.

"I'm so sorry Jungkook," Jimin was looking uneasy. "But I have to go first." He took a deep sigh before saying, "Congratulations."

I watched his figure slowly fade away while the rest were looking like they were about to scold me. "You're right, it's your life decision." Namjoon sounded like he was warning me but who knows? I ran back to my wife and gave her a soft peck on the cheek.

Taehyung's POV

"If you have only chosen me instead of him, you won't be crying like this." She looked at me with those glossy doe eyes as a result of her crying, while I gave her my handkerchief. "Stop joking around," she smiled. We were both occupying the swings on an empty playground.
