Jungkook landed on the ground as he had just jumped from the wall he had trespassed in order to get into Areum's house.

He had texted her to meet him but she didn't showed up nor responded to his texts so he decided to go by her house and find out himself why was she ignoring him.

He swiftly passed from the bushes to the other side of the garden and walked by the outer pool, waving at a security camera as he passed by, knowing that he was well known for those entries of his among the security employees of her household whom he had good connections with and that was the reason her parents had no idea of his visits when he did visit her.

He casually walked till the back door that was already opened for him and he smiled at the maid once he entered into the kitchen, leaving a compliment about her weight loss as he passed by.

He rushed up the stairs and didn't hesitate to open the door of her bedroom and get inside, scaring the heck out of Areum that was sitting in her bed with her headphones on, listening to music.

"The heck are you doing here?!" She flew out of her bed, her eyes wide open and her hands hanging on her neck as she kept hold of her headphones that she took off abruptly because of his abrupt and unexpected entrance.

"Why are you ignoring me?" Jungkook approached her calmly as she exhaled clearly bothered by his presence then took of her headphones and adjusted her hair, her eyes soon meeting his that was waiting for her to explain to him her behavior.

Jungkook had told her that he had no name in his shoulders to be an obstacle for them anymore. He had told her that she is only he had left yet Areum had yet to accept to be something more than just his friend as she used to be and he couldn't understand the reason why.

"I can't be all the time running behind you , okay? I have responsibilities and things to take care of." She told him off and turned her back on him, only for Jungkook to grab her and turn her around, bringing her closer to him.

"You know well enough that's not it. You are trying to put distance between us. Why?" He looked at her eyes expressing in his gaze his unpleasant feelings that her behavior was causing to him.

She looked at him as if she was mad at him just before she pushed him away soon expressing her thoughts freely as she tended to be to aggressive at her statements when she would get bothered and in this case she was something more than that.

Only if he knew in what hell he had put her when he had told her that he only had her now. Only if he knew how he had crushed her hopes when he told her that his father had took that decision. Because that meant he didn't choose her he was just obligated to be left with her only and after all the things that had happened she was waiting for a proof of his love that it never came.

She had made so many sacrifices for him. She had reached out her hands to him once and never pulled it back however he had left that hand of hers many times in the past, even as a friend he had pushed her away many times. How could she know trust him? When she knew that if he was to leave her hand hanging again she would retrieve it and neck extend it again because she would be more hurt than any other time. So she just thought that maybe, being something more than friends with him was a mistake. It was a risk that could hurt too much for her to get in it without even being completely sure of him.

"So what if i am. I need distance from you because our relationship is a mess now. I want to short things out.  Please leave me alone for a while and don't text random things, telling me words that you forget once you get sober." She glared at him making Jungkook travel his tongue on the inside of his mouth and pock his inner cheek with it as a sign that he was getting mad himself at her.

" I didn't remember them but i meant them. I love you! "He firmly expressed himself trying to convince her for the million time as after he had gotten a bit more sober that day that was all he had tried to do before she got fed up of him and left him on his room.

He understood well he had messed up by the fact that he couldn't recall anything that he had texted her the night before even though after he read them, his texts were all his truth that the alcohol had helped him to express to her but she had already gotten mad at him and that happened probably because she was hurt by this and he could tell. Still he wasn't going to give up, so what if he keeps messing up more and more each time with her. Jungkook won't give up till she understands that he loves her for real.

"Jungkook please just leave." Areum begged him with her gaze however the only thing that he did was step closer and kiss her, making her push him away immediately.

"Hey! Jungkook you can't -" She angrily stormed at him but her words got interrupted by his lips that crushed into hers again, her trying to break free but this time with no success.

She tried to hit him in his chest with her fists that he didn't even felt till her strength lessened, his lips having smoothen her anger eventually.

"I can do this all day. As many times as it may be needed. I will take every opportunity, any way possible till i convince you Areum." He told her once he had pulled away so both of them could catch up their breaths. Jungkook's eyes were looking at hers firmly as he spoke showcasing how much he meant his words and her eyes just became glassy as she broke crying, slipping on the floor.

Jungkook stayed silent for a minute feeling guilty that he had brought her to such a state and confused her and frustrate her to this degree but even though he was sorry he wasn't willing to give her that space she was asking of him.

"Don't you love me?" He asked her as he kneeled down to stand at her eye sight and she looked up with her now red eyes, showing him her vulnerable face.

"How can you ask that? Idiot!Jerk!" She hit his chest lightly as she responded soon grabbing hold of his collar and bringing him closer to her.

"But I hate you too. Because I put you above my musts and mustn'ts. I crashed my ideals and morals with you on my engagement party. I felt like a terrible human because of it. Yet you didn't even took the time to tell me that you didn't really had a girlfriend. You don't know what you are doing jungkook!! And i hate myself for letting you have so much effect on me. "Her words shocked him as he had never thought that he was putting her through so much pain, but her words and tearful eyes showed him clearly how much his unstable behavior had hurt her.

Once again she had been better than him. She was there from the start waiting for him to realize that she was all he could ever need yet all he did was let her wait and wait to  a point that it now felt like he had been too late.

"I am so sorry. I know, i made mistakes. But please don't leave me. I love you." Jungkook's voice entered her ears as he leaned closer and left their foreheads touch, his eyes closed that left some tears to soon roll down his cheek, the view causing her to shed more tears herself as she hugged him tight and snagged against his neck, him hugging her back, tightly warmly and securely.

"Please be with me. Give me a chance baby. Just one." He whispered as he kept her close wanting to never let go as his heart was in pain. A pain that stopped pulsating through his chest once she heard her voice responding to him. "Let's try."

---Change of set---

Taehyung was sitting on the couch next to his brother Jimin who's head was hanging low, having taken a moment to collect himself before continuing his words and Taehyung had let him do that by patiently waiting for him to speak as he himself had dived in his own thoughts.

He now understood more NeeRin's tears while she would hide at the library where he had found her many times, crying as silently as she could in a dark corner.

Taehyung liked going to the library a lot back then because he had decided to read all the favorite novels of his mother and it was at those days that he had started sympathizing with the stranger that had entered their family.

Jimin seemed to dislike her and was often rude with her but he thought he understood the reason as him himself couldn't accept her as his mother either. No one could take that place and he believed that just like him, Jimin too had grown overprotective of their mother's figure in the house. However finding her crying alone like that often made him pity her and eventually befriend her.

He had never known back then that her hands that would hug him while she cried on his chest and how she would thank him for being there for her after, would conclude to him eventually growing feelings for her. Would conclude to more than hugs, as when her lips would kiss his cheek his heart would speed up it's beating and her tears that he became used to wipe away had started to hurt him too.

"I tried my best to stay away. I should have hated her but it was never easy hating her. I loved her too much for that so i ended up hating myself more and more because I couldn't hate her." Jimin's voice drew his attention back to him as it seems he had gotten the courage to continue his words.

" She would come to me, trying to pursue me and i would tell her the most hurtful of things. That i hated her, i detested her. That she was the worst human for me. I did it all to hurt her, push her away from me but she would only cry, saying she was sorry, that she loved me and that i had to understand her. " Jimin felt his chest heavy as he spoke, his emotions having gotten the best of him as that silent wave had rose up to surface after he had suppressed it for so long.

" The night i found you covered in blood next to mom's piano. When you confessed to me your torturing guilt and your feelings. How you felt horrible and hated yourself for loving her. That day i wish i could tell you how alike we were. And as i hold you crying in my arms that was the first time that i felt it. I hated her truly at that moment. " Jimin's words stank at Taehyung's heart making him shoot his gaze towards him, seeing his profile and his eyes that were containing so much pain that actually cut Taehyung's breath.

His brother was right before him being as broken as he had never seen him. He was showing him all the pain he had wished to cause him just to see him in pain for once yet now he felt guilty of it.

He felt just like that day that he was talking about. He felt like his heart was ripped open and he was bleeding, this time because his fear hadn't come true. Jimin cared for him more than he had let him know. Jimin loved him enough for his pain to cause him to hate someone that was so much for him yet Taehyung had hurt him so many times.

All the blame he had put on him, all the values he had placed upon the pain that his betrayal caused, all that suddenly turned to self blame in his head. It turned to hate that this time was directed upon himself.
