“When were you planning on telling me?” 

The silence of the past ten minutes had finally been broken, but the tension remained, rising in fact. You pondered on whether you should even answer, wanting to just ignore and give him the cold shoulder until he had dropped you off. 

But knowing from experience, it would only make the situation worse. 

“I was going to tell you.”

His leg was bouncing now, drumming against the car floor as his jaw clenched. 

“When? The day you move in? When school starts?-”

“I just didn’t get the chance to tell you okay!” 

You finally get the courage to yell out into the car. 

The car turned into your neighbourhood. 

“No, that's totally fine. It’s not like I’m your husband or anything anymore, right? Cause we never got married, and you broke up with me, so who the fuck cares about what I fucking think.” His words were sharp, his eyes narrowed, his voice slightly rising. 

You sink further into your seat and look out the window, your arms crossed.

“Exactly.” you mutter. “It’s my decision.” 

“Oh it’s just your decision now?” 

He’s angry, hands tight around the steering wheel. 

“So we’re just going-” 

“Stop the car.” 

“Throw every fucking thing that-” 

“Stop the car!” 

“We went through-” 

“Stop the fucking car, Jungkook!” you yell out, glaring at him now. His eyes burn with rage but he parks the car right on the side of the road, two houses down from his home. You don’t even bother to wait for what he’s about to say next before, unbuckling quickly and getting out. 

Seeing you, Jungkook follows suit, slamming his car door shut. 

“Where are you going”

“Home!” you say over your shoulder, making it to the sidewalk, only for him to follow.

“No you’re staying here and we’re going to talk about this!”  

You ignore him, but he catches up to catch your arm. 

“Let go.” you grit your teeth, glaring. 

“No.” 

“There’s no point in talking, so let me go.” 

“I’m not letting you go anywhere till you tell me why.” 

You almost laugh out of anger right then in there. 

“You still want to know why?” you ask, “I thought I made it quite obvious.” 

“Just because we broke up isn’t a reason for you to move across the country, Y/N!” 

“It is, okay!” you yell out. “It is when your husband treats you like shit, and you have no one to go to. I felt so fucking lonely and you just don’t even understand!” 

“Then why didn’t you just talk to me!” 

“Because you didn’t give a shit! All you cared about were you stupid projects, and your boss, but not me! You can’t tell me that you actually cared, because you didn’t!” 

“Maybe I did!”

“Then why didn’t you do anything!” 

Tears were now streaking your cheeks as you let your words escape. You wanted to leave. You wanted to go home and curl up into a ball as you cried out all your anger and frustration. You wanted him to just leave you alone, and forever this time. 

“If you knew that I was hurting, why didn’t you just do something?” you cry, trying to wipe your tears. The world around you kept losing focus into a blur with each blink. 

Jungkook was silent this time, staring at the ground. 

“Was it too much for you to show that you still cared?” 

He said nothing, and it was only making you more frustrated. 

“This is exactly why we don’t need to talk. Because in the end you just stand there and say nothing.” you sniff, wiping your tears with the sleeve of your sweater. “I’m going home.” 

“I blamed you.” 

You stop in your tracts, and slowly turn back to him.

"What?" 

"I blamed you for the accident." His heart grew heavier as he let out what he had been hiding for over a year and your lips part as you process his words. 

He blamed you for Jin and your mother-in-law's death? 

"You were the one who planned the surprise party, and if you hadn't called them…" 

He takes a sharp breath in, and that’s when you realised the tears stinging his eyes. 

“You blamed me for their death?” you ask in disbelief, and he quietly nods. 

“After a while I started to think that if you hadn’t called them, then none of this would have happened, that my mom and brother would still be alive. And the more I felt their absence, the more I felt that way.”

He takes in a breath and swallows, avoiding your eyes

“And I just couldn’t look at you the same.” 

You felt your heart crush under his words, under the weight of his confession that was just too much to bear. 

You felt like blocking out your ears and acting like nothing was said. 

But reality was cruel. 

“I loved you, and I still do. I still care about you, but at the time I was in a really dark place, and being around you only reminded me of them more. I know you were hurting, but even though I wanted to do something about it, I felt like I was betraying them in a way.”  

“What’s different now?” you finally gather the courage to speak. “Why is it that you suddenly want to fix things?” 

“I realised my mistakes.” Jungkook muttered, his head hanging low. “Being around them again, I was able to think things through and realise that they wouldn’t have wanted me to treat you like that. They wouldn’t have wanted Minji to grow up with a father like me. They loved you both. And, fuck, I know everything is my fault, put please, all I’m asking is for you to stay.” 

You swallow the lump in your throat, a tear trailing down his cheek as he looks at you with guilt and sorrow. 

But you take a small step back, feeling your world caving in. 

“I need to go home.” is all you’re able to say before you turn on your heel and walk away. 

And he doesn’t stop you this time, just lets his tears take control as he watches you walk away. 

Potentially from his life. 

Was this why he was here now? To gain his family back but lose you? Because of all things, you were the last thing that he was willing to give away. 

But you weren’t his to give anymore. 

Jungkook takes a deep breath in and finally begins walking up his driveway, his swollen eyes following the path by his feet till he was at the porch. 

He takes a step, and notices his brother sitting on a chair on the porch, a bowl of chips on his lap with his phone in his hand. His eyes widen as Seokjin looks at him. 

“Jeon fucking Jungkook, what in the shit was that.”
