"Everything is gray under these skies"

- Tory Kelly

Jungkook's POV

If I caught a deadly disease, her laugh and smile would be the only medicine and treatment I would need to heal me. As much sh!t I have put her through, I want to make up for it by doing the things I wish I did  with her. I can't get enough of her subtle touches and the sound of her. I don't know how I'm going to live without her.

She is straddled over my lap as I pull her down to meet my lonely lips. I'm ready for the puzzle piece to fit until a soft voice speaks.

"Are you Jungkook?"

Oh, sh1t! I switch our positions where Jasmine's back is on the ground. I look towards where the voice came from and see two girls a couple of meters from us. My eyes can't peel away from their BTS phone cases that aim directly at us.

"Jasmine, turn in the opposite direction," I say.

She doesn't question me and does what I say, as I get to stand up. They walk towards me and are smiling widely. They look very excited to see me and their smiles never falter.

"OMG! You are Jungkook! I didn't expect to see you in Iowa of all places," the girl says.

"Yeah, it's unlikely," I respond before chuckling.

I don't mind meeting fans in public, I'm just nervous about them leaking the pictures and videos of Jasmine and I. I'm worried about Jasmine's face getting out there because I'm aware of the backlash she'll get from some of our fans. However, I don't want to ask them because then they will suspect something.

"Are you here for the math league competition?" The second girl asks shyly.

"Yeah," I respond while scratching my neck before laughing.

"We don't mean to bother you. We just want a picture with you," the first girl responds.

"Yeah, of course! I don't mind," I respond giving them a genuine smile.

They both blush and make soft squealing noises.

The second girl hesitantly puts her arm out to take a selfie of the both of us. I wrap my arms around their shoulders and smile into the camera.

"Thank you so much!" They both say.

The second girl bows at me multiple times making me laugh at her cuteness.

"No need for that," I respond.

"Oh," she says while blushing even more.

The girls leave before waving goodbye and I return the wave back. After their forms disappear, I turn around and see Jasmine at a distance away from me. I trot over to her. She doesn't turn around when I approach her.

I grab her hand gently as I move to face her.

Her hand feels limp in mine and she doesn't look up at me. Her face looks troubled.

I reach out to caress her face but she moves it away from me. It feels like someone is wrapping their hands around my heart and squeezing it like a lemon. When she is down, it feels like everything is gray under these skies.

"Jaz?" I say.

I move my hand back to her face and rub my thumb along her cheekbone.

"I'm sorry," she says while placing her hand on mine that's on her cheek. "I'm just caught up in my thoughts."

"About what? You can tell me," I press.

Her brown eyes finally fix their attention on me causing the hands to slightly release from my heart.
