Jeon Jungkook was early in the morning that weekend, he stood outside your house with his trailblazer. Wearing a maroon jacket over a white shirt and a faded jeans paired with his combat boots, he looked so dashing. His silver chain shined as the rays of sun hit it.

He also had his camera again in his hand after so long. Like he's your Jungkook again, your version of Jungkook before Lee Ara came up. The one you loved the most.

"I'm surprised that's still alive." You said as you make your way towards him. He showed you a smile as soon as he glance up at you.

"Wanna test it?" He asked. Before you could speak, he already brought his camera near his face, one eye shut close as his finger clicked on.

You weren't sure if that picture would look right as you weren't prepared for it. But you hoped you look pretty decent with your baby pink sweater tucked in your faded short, he did tell you to dress casually.

"You always do that." You smiled as he put down his camera.

"Do what?" He asked.

"Catching me off guard with your camera."

"I'd tell you something but I'd rather have your locker code." He smirked as he open his car for you.

"What for?" You tilted your head.

"You'll know soon." He winked at you and you swore you felt your heart jump at that.

"So give it to me, okay?" He said once he saw you settled on your seat.

You nodded and kept in mind to send it to him at the end of the day. He drives to the same city you went to the last time. Only this time, he entered the basement of a huge building.

The building looked expensive, like every unit would cost millions of dollars, even the hall ways looked expensive with its details and paintings hanging on the wall. You didn't know Jungkook was this rich to buy a unit here. Yet again, you don't really know much about him.

"I still have to buy some furniture so don't expect to see a lot in here." He said when you stood in front of his door.

He punched the code and the door clicked open. You finally saw the interior of his unit. Its almost complete except that he had no couch or a center table infront of his huge television.

You could see that every detail had been chosen carefully, from the spider like lights at the center of his living room and the mini studio lights above his tv to the plain white curved bench on the glass wall that displayed the whole city.

You walk towards it, noticing a lonely but cute white pot with a plant on it near the silky dark gray curtains that kisses the wooden floor.

"Nice view, didn't know you're good with interior design." You said as you sit on the curved bench.

"Uh-huh. You can help me pick a couch and a center table later." He said as he sat next to you.

"So you'll be living here." You trailed off as you watch the busy city below.

"Guess so." He mumbled.

"It'd be lonely here." You chuckled as you stand on your feet ready to wander around.

"Yeah, it'd be nice to have someone around." You heard him say as you touch the high chairs in his kitchen.

He didn't have any dining table but a mini bar counter top. What a wise choice to save up space because he wouldn't really appreciate eating alone on a table for four or six.

You glance at him standing near the doorway, leaning his body to the wall, arms crossed against his chest. He titled his head and rested it on the wall to as he bit his lip, eyes looking at you.

"Say, if you found a school you like here, would you live with me?" He said as he stood up straight.

"I see loneliness does wonders to you, Jeon Jungkook." You snorted though caught off guard at his offer. You tried to calm your heart as you stare at anything but him.

"I'm actually serious about it." You see him dead serious.

"Why offer that to me? How about your friends? Lee Ara? Don't you have any plans on getting back together?" Your voice shrink as you stare at your feet.

Honestly, seeing things like this, how everything became so quick scared you. What if its just temporary? What if he still wanted her? Or worst, what if you became his rebound? That thought alone scared you. You didn't want to be one.

Sure, you liked how this is turning out to be. It felt like those stupid fairytales but if you can have this so quickly then it can be taken away as quickly too. So you wanted to take it slow but with Jungkook, it seems so impossible, no matter how hard you try to step on the brakes.

"Would I offer you that if I wanted her back?" He raised his eyebrow.

He sighed then he walk towards you until you're only inches apart. He cupped your face with his hand as you stare down, trying hard not to meet his eyes because you didn't want him to see your fears. "After I knew that she was cheating on me I cant help but feel guilty as well because I'd sometimes wonder how would it be like to be in a relationship with you. If anything would be different."

"I sound like a dick but I want you in my life, Y/n. Permanently." You slowly look at his eyes. The one so dark but holds the whole galaxy in it.

You felt him caress your cheeks as he stare at your eyes. Is it right to give in? Is it right to finally give this a shot? But if anything, the only thing you've been learning for these past months was to risk everything. To gamble with life and don't have any regrets because you gave everything a shot.

Isn't it what Jungkook wanted you to do from the very beginning?

So you leaned in more to his touch, atleast in the end you wont have any regrets, right?

"I told you the white one looks more nice." You said as Jeon Jungkook runs his hand on the back rest of a black couch.

"But what about black?" Jeon Jungkook pouts.

Jeon Jungkook freaking pouts.

"Hold that face." You said as you raise your hand to stop him from changing his facial expression.

You took out your phone and took a picture of his face, you giggled. "Can I make this my wallpaper?" You grinned as you showed him the picture you took.

His lips only protruded more as his eyes glowered. You walk towards him and pinched his cheeks. "We can have the center table black, okay?" You beamed at him.

He took away your hands away from his face, his hand goes to your chin and lifts it while you felt the other one intertwine his fingers with yours. "Fine." He said in defeat.

He turn to walk towards the center tables but you didn't move and raise his hand that was holding yours. He looked back at you with a question in his face.

"You really know your ways, huh?" You raise one eyebrow at him as you smile at him playfully.

"You don't like it?" He tilted his head then he removed his hand from yours but only to sneak his arm around your waist and pulled you closer to him.

Your face heated as you put your hand at his chest to stop your body from colliding with his. Your eyes widen when he lowered his head, only inches from yours.

"How about this?" He whispered, staring at your face.

You put you hand on his hand that was holding your waist, you intertwine it while your other hand goes to his face and push it away from yours. You laugh as you see his shocked face.

"Didn't know you're a fan of public display of affection." You said as you drape his arms around your shoulders while your fingers stayed intertwined with his.

"How can you say that?" His brows furrowed as you glance up at him.

"Well, your relationship with Lee Ara was pretty private. You weren't showy with her." You mumbled as you scan the tables, afraid to look at his eyes.

Because he might see the hurt in your eyes everytime you'd think about him and Lee Ara.

This time he was the one to stop on his tracks and turned your body to face him. "Hey, I don't want this to be like that. I want it different with you, Y/n." He said.

Jungkook pulled over infront of his university. You gaze at the arc of the university and to the buildings you can see from here.

"It's only blocks away from my unit." He said then he got out of his car.

He opened your door and let you out of his car. You look up at the gloomy clouds. "I think its about to rain." You commented.

You saw him look up at the sky too. "We can take a quick look around then." He said as he pull you.

"Wait, are we allowed to go in? Its weekend." You asked him.

"Sure." He chuckled as he continue to walk inside. You followed him, not much of a choice with your intertwined hands.

You wander around him. In the cemented pathway and in the grass field. You decided to sit on the field.

"Will you visit me on my first day?" He asked.

"Would you like me to?"

He tilted his head, "Yeah. I'll go to your school after my classes so we can see each other. One year, I have one year to convince you to stay." He sighed as he look at you.

So he plans to continue this. To see you. To make you stay. With him. And beside him.

He reaches for your face, "Can I kiss you?" He said as he stare deeply in your eyes like he's trying to touch your soul.

"Yes." And you see him leaning in and closing the space between you, you closed your eyes.

Then you felt his lips again. And there's that feeling again. Like something's exploding inside you as he move his lips against yours. And the tingles back at it. You placed your hand on top of his that holding your cheek.

Jeon Jungkook, can you feel my heart? This is yours now. Please take care of it.

You flinch when you felt something wet touch your arms, legs and face. Jungkook pulled away from you and looked at the sky that was already pouring.

He glance back and you see his swollen lips, your face heated. "It's time to go back huh?" He said as he stood up offering you his hands.

You both run towards his car though already soaking wet. He immediately gave you a towel inside his bag at the backseat. You wrap it around you as he drive back at his unit. The rain pour heavy that you both decided to wait for it to stop or just calm down.

"You can change in my room. I think I put some shirt there." He said as he go to the kitchen.

You nodded even though he already turned hus back on you. You quietly walk towards the first door on your left. You opened it and turned on the lights. The bed was made with navy blue sheets and the floor was carpeted with dark gray. Above the headboard were his collections of cameras.

You reach for the cabinet on the left side of the room and saw some shirts there, mostly black. You pulled one and changed into it, keeping your shorts because you had no choice.

You pulled out your phone and set his picture from earlier as your wallpaper. You chuckled, so this is how it feels like? Having a chance with him? But is this considered as going out? Maybe you'll get there. You don't have to rush things, after all he just got out of a relationship.

"Hey, can I lay on your bed?!" You shouted for him to hear you.

"Yeah. Make yourself comfortable. Take a nap if you want to." You heard him.

So you lay there on his bed, disarranging his sheets. After minutes you heard his footsteps coming.

"Hey, drink this." He said as he approach his bed. You sat up and you saw him holding two mugs.

You held the cup he gave you and saw that he made you a hot chocolate drink. You smiled as you mumble a thank you.

You watch him get up and get one of his collections above the headboard of his bed. He adjusted it first then he held it near his face again with one eye open, he clicked it, taking a picture of you sipping.

"You always take pictures of me while I'm unprepared." You pout.

He set down his camera on the side table then he took your mug then set it beside his camera. He knelt on the bed then he held your chin.

"I love your candid shots." He said then he gave you a peck on the lips. You grip on his shirt when his lips stayed on yours the second time he kissed you.

The next day, you arrived at school too early. You even saw the volleyball girls getting on the bus, ready to leave for their game. You quickly avoided Lee Ara's eyes when you met them but you stop when she called your name.

She jog towards you while you blink fast, heart quicken and scared with the coming confrontation. She won't slap you or go bitch talk on you, right? You hope so.

"H-how did you know my name?" You asked, gulping down the lump forming on your throat.

She smiled, flashing you the angelic smile that always catch people's heart. "It's easy to know with everything that is happening."

Your brows furrowed. Did she mean about their break up? Surely, your name isn't included with their issue, its all about her and Jungkook. Even the third party's name, Ji Ro, weren't spoken by people.

"Take care of Jungkook while I'm gone. I'll be back before the fest." She grinned at you then she jog away leaving you speechless.

Why does she have to tell you that? You shook your thoughts away, nothing will happen, even if she has a plan on getting back with, as long as Jungkook doesn't want to.

It was a weird morning, even when you reach the cafeteria at lunch. You were waiting for Jungkook because he told he had to do something first before heading here.

Everyone were whispering while looking at their phones. Then they'd give you judgemental glimpses that made you feel uneasy and uncomfortable. You pulled out your phone to check if anybody had forwarded you the thing they are looking at on their phone, but there was nothing. Only a message from Jungkook that he's coming.

You heard a clap coming from a blonde, she was standing from her seat and she's making her way towards you. She looked like one of those stupid cheerleaders with her short skirt and fake tan.

"Look at you, who would have thought that you're such a little slut." She said while looking at you. You stared at her innocently.

Why was she calling you a slut?

"No wonder it was so easy for Jungkook to admit that it was his fault because it is his fault!" She said then you recognized her as the one who asked Jungkook about his relationship with Lee Ara in the cafeteria too.

"He was a genius to take you somewhere else but not genius enough to take you on a mall where you two could get caught." She smirked as she cross her arms against her balloon chest.

"I don't know what you're talking about." You said though you have a hunch. You just know that you don't have to explain anything to anyone.

You owe them nothing.

"How can you destroy someone's relationship? You cheated with Jeon Jungkook!" She exclaimed to the point where her voice echoed.

Everyone was silent and you felt yourself being provoked. You glance at everyone, they were looking at you with disgust in their eyes. Then you suddenly caught two pair of eyes, the one that belonged to Kim Taehyung. He stood there, frozen near the cafeteria's door.

You gulped then you shook your head. "I didn't destroy anything." You said, voice almost a whisper.

"What's the point of denying it? You have a picture together!" She screamed then she threw her phone at you.

You were thankful that you caught it on time before it hit your chest. You look at the picture displayed on the screen. It was a photo of you and Jungkook where he held your waste and your faces were only inches apart.

"He's not in a relationship." You tried to make your voice stronger. You aren't guilty. You are not the reason why they broke up.

"Yeah, because of you!" She said.

Then you wondered why was she so affected by this? You saw her eyes glistened with tears. She likes him. She likes Jeon Jungkook.

"Why did you do it? I-I could take it if it was Lee Ara but you?! You are nothing compared to her." She said then you saw her nose getting red. "Even if you didn't cheat with him, you are just his rebound!"

After everything she said, the last thing was the only one that stung.

In the midst of silence, you heard a screech then you saw Jungkook running towards you. He held your shoulders as he inspect your face.

"You okay?" He whispered. You nodded.

He saw your hands holding the girl's phone then he took it. He turn to the girl in front of you, blocking you from her view.

"She doesn't need to explain to any of you. She didn't cheat with me nor was she the reason why Lee Ara and I broke up. And I will never ever let her be just a rebound." Jeon Jungkook's voice was like a thunder inside the cafeteria, he then held your wrist and pulled you away from everything.
