Days have passed. And yet Jungkook hasn't come out of his room. The day of my arrival was a disaster.

Everyone left as soon as they gave me gifts. No much warmth after that too. Just a formality.

The queen requested me to stay at the castle for a few days to which I was glad. Our parents were here too, so my room was just next to theirs. At night I would sleep with them.

It all felt like a movie. I don't know what exactly was happening around me. I thought I will make things clear with him but no. I hurt him more.

Will I be able to forgive myself? If I forgive myself and give him a chance to explain himself, then I will be feeling a little, a tad bit better.

That is what I'm gonna do now.

It's currently nine in the morning. I'm sure he'd be up by now. Knocking on the door, I met with Taehyung. He's in Jungkook's room?

Oh! Silly me. All the boys and I had one big room to live back then. It's the same. Except the bunk beds are gone and are replaced by four sets of Royal beds. Looks nice anyways.

"Good morning oppa." I smiled at him and he smiled back, muttering 'morning' in a small voice. He stepped aside and let me in. I couldn't see his eyes widen but mine did after scanning the room.

Oops.

A few were showering....

"Did I come at the wrong time? I'll come back later." I said shyly and turned around on my heel, leaving the room all by themselves.

Aish Y/n! They are grown up men! Did you really think you're still in elementary school to just walk in like that?

"Can I come in now?" gosh I sound like Anna from 'Frozen'.

"Yes yes, you can. We're going to school by the way. You have to join in a few days too." Dimples responded.

"Ah yeah. Thanks Joon oppa. I'll be joining after this weekend. You have to help me with the topics of freshman year, and I guess they are the base for you guys?" he nodded his head and said he'll help me with my subjects.

Bidding goodbyes to everyone, I turned back to the door.

Oh.... He's still asleep.

Should I wake him up? Aish no you fool. Let him sleep.

Uh.... But I wanna see him. Just once.

So I walked towards his side of the bed and kneeled down near his face. Unknowingly, my hands started to caress his soft baby skin. A smile started creeping onto my face.

But again, it dropped down into a frown.

Why did you do it Jungkook?

"Mmm" he starts to shuffle in the bed. Oops.

I wanted to be sly as a cat but then he caught me.

"Y/n?" his voice is hoarse as he utters my name in a mere whisper. Pursing my lips together in one line, I turn around to meet his gaze. He is sitting on the bed with the blanket wrapped around him. Shit, he's cute.

"Uh...hi! Hi. G-good morning Jungkook oppa." The word 'oppa' came out hesitantly. Now he purses his lips in a thin line and gestures me to come nearer.

"Yes?"

"You want to ask something?" he questioned me.

"Uh....actually. But it's clearly not the right-"

"It's alright. Sit down." he patted the place in front of him on the bed. A long silence is heard and the awkwardness is too high in the atmosphere. I clear my throat and start.

"I'm sorry, Jungkook. I really am. I should've-"

"Please don't be sorry. Why are you sorry Y/n? Wasn't it all my fault? I slept with a woman, but that's what others said, right?" what??! Is he kidding me? I don't understand!

"Jungkook! What do you actually mean?" I gave him a confused look. He scoffs loudly before speaking again.

"Tell me Y/n. Did you hear it through me?"

"What should I hear from you?" I asked back.

"Did you hear it from me that I had done such a thing? Did you at least make an attempt to come and talk to me before leaving just like that?" he fired at me, all at once. Same Kook, same. I regret my semi-foolish actions.

"I-I'm really sorry Jungkook. I know I should've given you a chance to explain yourself but I......was somewhat selfish." I looked down in shame.

"Wait. Selfish? Didn't you leave because I chea-"

"No"

"Then?"

"Because I wanted to be better. Than anyone."
