Jungkook's pov

I sat in the traffic, spotting Y/N's car in front of me. A smile crept onto my face, making me feel like a teenager in love again. But then, to my surprise, she took a right turn when our apartment was straight ahead. A pang of suspicion hit me, and I decided to follow her, hoping she wouldn't notice.

She parked her car near a park and got out. My curiosity piqued, I quickly found a spot to park at a safe distance and ran to catch up with her. "Damn it!" I muttered, running my fingers through my hair in frustration. I had lost sight of her. 

I was about to head back when I suddenly spotted Y/N with Taehyung. It was getting dark, and there weren't many people around. I hid myself behind a tree, straining to hear their conversation, but it was inaudible.

Suddenly, Taehyung pulled her into a bear hug. I waited for her to push him away, but she remained in his embrace. My heart shattered into a million pieces. I turned around and walked back to my car, feeling both betrayed and heartbroken.

"Why, Y/N? You could have told me! Who told you to give me false hopes?" I yelled, banging the steering wheel as tears streamed down my face.

I sped back to the apartment, my mind made up. I couldn't live with her anymore. Tomorrow, I would find a new place. This was the end of our relationship. I also decided to accept the job in America that my boss had offered me today. I would leave everything behind, once and for all.

As I drove through the city streets, memories of our time together flashed before my eyes. The laughter, the love, the promises—all now felt like cruel illusions. The pain of betrayal was unbearable, but I knew I had to move on. It was time to start a new chapter in my life, far away from here.

y/n's pov

I walked into the park, my heart heavy with the weight of what I had to do. Taehyung was waiting for me on the bench, the same place where he had once proposed to me. The memory brought tears to my eyes, but I knew I had to let go of the past. As soon as he saw me, he asked, "What did you want to tell me?"

"Can we sit?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly. He nodded, and we sat down on the bench. He looked at me with expectant eyes, hope flickering in them. "Actually, I want to give you the answer to your question," I began, my voice barely above a whisper.

His eyes sparkled with joy. "I knew you would give me a chance!" he exclaimed, pulling me into a tight hug. I felt a lump in my throat and didn't react for a few moments, lost in my own thoughts. Slowly, I disentangled myself from his embrace and looked away. "Y/N, what happened?" he asked, his voice tinged with confusion.

"Taehyung, I think you should leave me," I breathed out, finally releasing the breath I had been holding.

"W-what?" His expression changed to one of horror.

Tears fell onto my palms as I continued, "I'm sorry, but I don't feel the same way anymore. I was the reason you tried to end your life that night. I can never forgive myself for that."

"Stop rambling, Y/N. I know the real reason is Jungkook!" he cried out, his voice breaking. More tears streamed down my face.

"Please, let me go. I tried to keep loving you, but over time, I fell for Jungkook. I love him. I hope you understand. You were the one who told me to give Jungkook a chance, and I did."

"Oh, Y/N, just stop it! Stop making excuses! You never loved me in the first place! You only played with my feelings. Don't make things up! I never told you to love him!"

"You did tell me! You wrote it in that letter!"

"I never did. Why don't you love me? I gave you everything!" he cried out, his desperation palpable. I had never seen him this way before. He looked like a completely different person, and it scared me to death.

I stood up from my seat, my legs trembling. "I'm sorry. I hope you find someone who will love you more than I ever could."

"No! I want only you, Y/n!" I flinched when he shouted in a venomous tone. His eyes were red in anger.

"You're not the Taehyung I know! He is not so venomous! Who are you!!!" I cried in horror. Why was there no body in the park?!

"I don't care if you like me or not! I want you!!" he pushed me back into the bench and hovered over me. I tried to push him away but he was too strong. He looked like a psychopath.

"Ta-taehyung P-please let me go...." I cried. My voice was almost dead. It fell on deaf ears.

"You are only mine. Only mine!" He chanted as he smashed his lips with mine. He hungrily sucked my bottom lip. Tears of helplessness spilled out of my eyes. That's it! I am going to jump into the lake if I get raped here.

I gathered all my strength and pushed him one last time. He stumbled and fell into the lake. I quickly stood up and ran towards my car without looking back. Soon after, I heard his cry. "Y/n!! Wait! You can't run! I've waited for you for so many days!!! I will give you all the things which Taehyung or Jungkook could never give!"

"What was he speaking?? He IS Taehyung!" My brain was not in a state to debate. I got into my car and drove away.

........

I sprinted to my flat as soon as I parked the car. Ignoring the elevator, I took the stairs two at a time. My hands shook as I fumbled with the biometric lock, finally getting it to open on the third attempt.

I barged into Jungkook's room without knocking, throwing myself into his embrace and burying my face in his chest. His arms wrapped around me, offering the protection I desperately needed. For a moment, I could breathe again. But then Jungkook slowly broke the hug and lifted my chin to look at him. "What happened?" he asked, his voice devoid of emotion.

"Taehyung, he's not the Taehyung I know! He—he's a psychopath! He tried to—" My words stopped abruptly when Jungkook suddenly pushed me away. I stared at him with puffy eyes, feeling utterly bewildered.

"Stop it, Y/N! Just stop it! How many lies are you going to tell?" His tone was harsh and unyielding, a stark contrast to his usual softness.

"L-lies?" I stammered, completely clueless.

"Yes, lies! You can't have both of us at the same time. You have to choose one! You're cheating on both me and Taehyung! Stop playing with our hearts like this, Y/N."

"Jungkook, what are you talking about?" I pleaded, tears streaming down my face.

"I saw you with Taehyung. He was hugging you, and you looked so happy in his embrace. Why did you say you wanted me when you feel happy with him? Am I just a toy to you? Now you're making up all these stories just to get sympathy from me, right?!"

I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. Jungkook's eyes were glossy, filled with unshed tears. Had I hurt him that much? But it wasn't my fault, was it?

"I'm breaking up with you," he declared, his voice trembling with anger and pain. "Respect the love that my friend has given you. Don't break his heart. I'm leaving the apartment tomorrow. We shall not meet henceforth."
I bit my lip as more tears streamed down my face. My heart shattered into a million pieces for the second time. It felt like I was never meant to be loved. We stood so close, yet we were so distant. Jungkook was completely different from the playful and affectionate man he had been that morning, showering me with kisses.

The room suddenly felt small and suffocating. I felt like I would lose my remaining sanity if I stayed there any longer. Forgetting about Taehyung, I ran out of the apartment without caring how I looked, my makeup smeared and tear-streaked. I continued to run along the footpath until my legs gave out, forcing me to slow down.

It was all my fault. I could have ended this long ago. Jungkook gave me all the love I wanted and made me feel special. And now, look at me—I broke his trust. I should never have let Taehyung get close when I had no feelings for him. I wasn't going back to Taehyung; he was not the one I had fallen in love with. Everything would have ended if I had found the courage to jump off the roof that night. Now I had lost Jungkook. I lost him! All my fault. The thought of living without him was unbearable. How would I live without him?

"I want to stay with you...forever," Kookie had once told me. Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I reminisced about our happy moments. I had hurt him deeply. To him, I was a betrayer.

"I don't want to lose you, Jungkook..." I whispered into the night. My phone buzzed, pulling me out of my despair. I took it out of my jeans pocket and saw Jungkook's name on the lock screen. My eyes lit up with hope, but it was quickly shattered when I opened his message.

Jungkookie❤️

No one told you to run away. I will be the one leaving.

Just bear with me tonight.

The finality of his words hit me like a punch to the gut. I sank to the ground, clutching my phone, sobbing uncontrollably. The reality of losing Jungkook forever was too painful to bear. My mind raced with regret and sorrow, each memory of him a dagger in my heart. I whispered his name one last time, feeling the weight of my mistakes crush me.

The night grew colder, and the world around me blurred as my knees gave in, consumed by my grief.

I didn't realize I was standing in the middle of the road until I heard a blaring horn. Bright headlights blinded me as a car sped toward me. No matter how much I wanted to save myself, my legs felt heavy as lead. I closed my eyes, bracing for impact. Perhaps this is my punishment.

Your views? How is it going?

Lets have some business talks, shall we?

Please stop accusing Taehyung. He is a human. Is it only me or you all are actual fools to assume that he didn't wish Jungkook on his birthday. FFS they live under the same roof! Not everything needs to be displayed. Taehyung is a human and its his choice what he should do. Who are you to force?? Stop being greedy for a Taekook selca and live in peace.
