Charlie Puth & Jungkook
Left and right

"Ever since the day you went away, someone tell me how. How much more do I gotta drink for the pain, what you gon' do now? You did things to me that I just can't forget, now all I think about
are the nights we were tangled up in your bed."

Thousands of lamps suppress the beauty of the millions of shining stars in the night sky. This city never sleeps, especially on weekends. People of all nations and different religions pass through the huge shopping areas in the center of New York City. Watching them stroll in all directions calms me down somehow. I'm waiting for Naomi on a bench next to the nightclub. It's already been a week since I broke contact with Taehyung. Thought this would distract me from thinking too much about him; I know it won't.

It's not that I can't live without him or anything cringe like that but with him, everything was easier and brighter. We weren't in a usual relationship but what we had was special. At least for me. I knew this could happen but I still hoped he would feel the same for me. In the end, it was an illusion and I saw more than there actually was. The kisses I thought could be love were just his attraction to me. And his way of taking care of me was because he is a kind character but it made me believe otherwise.

It was just a beautiful illusion.

Every night when I'm alone, I still feel his touch and imagine his deep voice whispering sweet words into my ears. His scent is all over my bed and makes it hard not to think of him but I'm not ready to lose him, yet. I was never good at farewells and no one pushes me to get rid of his imprints, either. Taehyung is a good man. Just because he doesn't feel the same as I do doesn't make him a bad guy. He openly told how he felt and that shows his personality. Tae could've said otherwise just to have fun and make me believe he loved me and when he had his fun, he could've just thrown me away.

But he didn't and that's what makes me more attracted to this man. It's worse to let go of someone when I know he has a gentle soul with no bad intentions. I surprised myself, usually, I don't fall in love and trust someone this fast. Now that I think about Tae, I realize I don't know anything about him. He lives alone, is a workaholic, his ex's name is Jennie and that's it. Why does it feel like I know him for a long time?

My mind is surrounded by thoughts of him while Naomi and I enter the crowded nightclub. To be honest, I force my ass to go out because if I'd stayed at home tonight I surely would make a bad decision by calling Taehyung. I miss him so much that it hurts to know I have to spend the weekend without him, alone.

"Damn, it's crowded tonight." Naomi, my pretty friend, shouts as we squeeze through the dancing people.

"What did you expect, tonight is ladies' night. Free shots for women till midnight." The club is filled with beautiful women and of course, where flowers bloom, bees gather around, and hope to get a taste of the sweet nectar. Piercing male eyes are scanning the female's body, waiting for a given sign to attack their chosen prey. Would Taehyung do the same as they do? Would he choose me between these gorgeous-looking ladies?

It would not change the situation, so why do I think about it?

Naomi looks stunning tonight, she always does. I have the feeling that she has changed since the incident with Jungkook. She is not behaving the same as she always did, which I liked so much about her. My friend is colder and she doesn't talk to me that much anymore. We have normal conversations. Her emerald eyes watch the crowd as if she's searching for somebody. Maybe it was not a good idea to come here. I feel uneasy and Naomi is kind of ignoring me but I could be wrong.

"That motherfucking asshole!" her jaw tenses as she roamed her gaze around the dance area. Curious, I follow her eyes. Every hair on my body is standing at the sight of the person on the dancefloor. The male is sensually touching a woman while dancing with her. Jungkook is the last person I want to catch sight of. Naomi gulps her drink in one shot and attends the dancefloor. It doesn't take long for the men around her to take notice of her, she is a beautiful woman and on top of that a very hot one.

I know she's upset but she would never let it hurt her self-esteem. That's why she's seeking attention, she wants confirmation that she's adored by men and women. It's her sort of self-protection. Naomi knows she could get whoever she wants but she likes challenges. Jungkook is the first one who didn't chase after her, he loves to be free like Naomi and that's what made her interested in him. Her dates always start to act clingy after a few weeks and she hates it when someone is invading her private life and freedom. 

Well, here I am, alone at the bar drinking my sweet alcoholic beverage while glancing at my phone. I read the old messages from Taehyung, and memories of the weeks we shared runs through my mind. The alcohol makes it worse, I get emotional and horny when I'm tipsy. My body misses the way he'd touch me, so delicate that he would have me begging on my knees for more. His tender pillowy lips are tattooed on every part he kissed me and I'm craving to taste him again right at this moment.

"You look stunning, Crystal." A familiar voice distracts me. I turn around to the man who disturbed my fantasies with Taehyung. His juicy plump lips turn into a smirk. This man is handsome and if I didn't know him already, I'd sympathize with him. He appears innocent but he isn't as angelic as he looks. "Alone here?"

"Nope, I'm not. But I'll be going home soon." I answer.

Jimin takes the seat beside me and my body tense although he doesn't touch me. Why do I have the feeling as if I'm cheating on Tae? We're not even together nor have any kind of relationship, but it feels wrong to be with another man but him. "Why would you leave so soon?"

"Jimin, look, I'm not interested in anything related to man. I just want to dance, enjoy my drinks, and go home after!" I tell without looking at him. His gaze is on me, I can feel the mix of how he studies my body language and how he's taking my clothes off by just looking at me.

"Should I drive you home? I didn't drink any alcohol." Jimin offers.

My heart just skips a beat at his sentence. When I first met Taehyung he did say the same. I feel the pain in my chest at the thought of him. This man is everywhere, I can't get rid of him. "Thank you for the offer Jimin, but I don't think it's a good idea."

"Crystal, I know we had a bad start, ok no, the start was unforgettable and mind-blowing. I acted like an ass and I'm sorry for that. Can't we just restart and be friends?" Does he mean it? Jimin is mischievous, that's how I know him but he sounds genuine and kind right now. "I promise I won't touch you!"

I'm truly thinking of accepting his offer but something inside is alarming me and I can't shake off the feeling that I'm betraying Tae.

"That's kind of you but I refuse, thank you."

Jimin nods and gives me a little smile while drinking his coke. "Ok, I understand. I'm a little bit disappointed but I accept your wish."

This is a new side I don't know about him. He stands up and we lock our eyes, "but if you decide otherwise don't hesitate to ask me, I won't drink tonight I'm in charge of driving the boys home." a chuckle leaves my lung at the imagination of him being the nanny of drunken grown men.

"You'll be busy tonight!" I say between my laughter. Jimin laughs with me, agreeing with what I just said.

"I will make time for you if you ask me!" His gaze stays on me and he stops laughing. Jimin is honest and he means what he says. I swallow the lump in my throat. This guy is making me nervous. I have a weakness for honest men especially when I sense they tell the truth while looking into my eyes. He disappears in between the crowd and my eyes follow him until I lose sight of his figure.

Ok. This is my sign to leave. 

Every cab is taken and the next one will be available in more than twenty minutes. Well, I have to wait. Naomi is nowhere to be found, I type a message, saying I'd go home now just in case she'd search for me. The cold air hits my face and now I regret wearing a dress. I should have worn pants instead of these thin tights. To warm myself, I wrap my arms around myself and start rubbing my side. My heels are killing my feet. What would I give to take them off now? These are new high heels. I bought them just yesterday as I remember how I fell in love at first glance with the indigo-colored pumps while adoring the heels on my feet.

"Are you waiting for me, Pocahontas?" The voice is making me nauseous and the blood in my veins freezes when I realize that I'm trapped in between the cold wall and my worst nightmare, Jeon Jungkook. I hate his scent. I hate the sound of him breathing. I hate to feel the warmth of his cold body on mine. I hate that I'm paralyzed with fright and that I'm not able to move any muscle in my body.

My mind is blank. It always does. It happened to me with my father to protect myself and now with Jungkook, it's the same. I should scream and kick his balls but I can't. All I can do is cry. I'm such a crybaby. Always crying in the wrong situations. The evil's face comes closer to my ear and leans with his full weight on me. It's impossible to run away.

"Should we continue from where we ended it last time, remember?" 

Tears stream out of my eyes. I rather face the floor than look into his eyes and watch how he's turned on by how frightened I am.

"Mhm, I take that as a yes." His hand graces my outer thighs up and down. A silent whimper of shock escapes my lips when he grabs my butt cheeks. Kneading them roughly. "I missed you and I want you so bad, you have no idea what I want to_"

"Take your dirty hands off of her or I am going to kill you!" A familiar voice sounds aloud. My heart is racing and thumping so hard against my chest when I realize who the person is.

Who is it? 👀
