Jungkook's POV

Today must be one of those days, the days that start off amazing but end up in a pile of cow manure. It went downhill since Jasmine got a hold of the paper hearts and I caught Josh forcing himself on Jasmine. 

I watched as he pressed into her like he was trying to force the wall to swallow her whole. My actions were controlled by that small whimper of help that escaped from her precious lips. It was difficult not to beat on him, there and then for doing what he did to Jasmine. But after seeing his state, I realized that he was drunk, I couldn't help but pity the dude.

I led Josh down the stairs in a haste. With his current state, I don't think it is best for him to be here around people. People look at us in curiosity, ready to watch what's about to unfold. 

Josh pushes away from me in frustration and drunkenly throws his arms around, knocking the punch bowl on the carpet. As much as I want to panic about the mess that just appeared on my mother's carpet, I need to concentrate on the broken man in front of me.

"Don't freaking touch me!" Josh screams.

I sigh at his outburst. I just want him out of my house, but in a safe way. I don't want to kick him out in a rude manner because he's not his self right now. Josh doesn't look like his usual calm and collected self; he looks shattered.

"You think you are having it hard because Jasmine forgot you, Jungkook? Well, imagine doing a hit and run on the love of your life and being the cause of her amnesia?!" He says.

What...is he talking about? I give him a questionable look while taking slow and steady steps towards him.

"I don't think you know what you're talking about," I tell Josh in a careful voice and give him a small smile.

I don't want to sound aggressive to him.

"You don't understand, Jeon! I hit Jasmine!" He screams. 

He sidesteps from me and starts approaching Jasmine who looks dazed in Jae-Sun's arms. Jae-Sun sees Josh approaching him and moves Jasmine behind him. Damian takes Jasmine and holds her upright.

"Jaz!" He yells.

I get in front of Josh. 

"You need to calm down," I say in a quiet but firm voice.

"Jaz! I know you remember!" He yells in a broken voice. "What color was the car that hit you?"

Why would Jasmine even remember the exact model of the car? I do remember it being red, but that's about all.

I'm about to say something to Josh but Jasmine's voice fills the quiet room.

"A red 2015 BMW 3 Series," she says in a weak voice.

"Who's car was it?" Josh asks from above me while looking at Jasmine.

The atmosphere in the room is so intense and thick as everyone watches the drama that unfolds in front of them.

"Yours," she says.

Everyone begins to murmur. I feel like my heart is dropping. I clench my hands in fists before turning back around to meet Josh's guilty eyes. He looks down at me and smirks while tears stream down his face.

"I understand why you're mad, but that's not all," he says.

Andres takes a step forward and puts his hand on Josh's shoulder.
