Standing Next To You ➣ JJK

❝ Standing next to you
Standing in the fire next to you, oh
You know it's deeper than the rain
It's deeper than the pain
When it's deep like DNA
Something they can't take away ❞

Monique and Jungkook both had their fair share of secrets they didn't want anyone to know. They were masterful at lying and hiding their true feelings from others, especially from each other.

Monique once lied about her feelings for Jungkook, telling herself and others that she was over her high school crush. She had convinced herself that moving on was the best thing for her, and she tried hard to suppress her feelings. In reality, she still harbored strong emotions for him, but she was too afraid of rejection to admit it.

Jungkook, on the other hand, lied about his feelings for Roxanne. Although he had eventually realized that he was in love with her, he struggled with the fact that she was once his best friend's ex. He didn't want to hurt Monique by pursuing a relationship with Roxanne, so he convinced himself that his feelings were just friendship. He lied about his true emotions, even to himself, for years before finally admitting his love for Roxanne.

The craziest thing they both lied about was the depth of their feelings for each other. They both pretended to be indifferent, hiding their true emotions behind a facade of friendship or, in Monique's case, moving on. The lengths they went to in order to protect their secrets only served to complicate their lives further, leading to missed opportunities and unresolved feelings.
