Jungkook had been restless all day long.

They had been given a day off because of the celebrations to be held in the evening, which meant Y/N had no reason to come to work which also meant that Jungkook hadn't seen her all day.

He could of course, call her. But he didn't know what to say. 'Hi Y/N, I miss you a lot so I thought I'd call to hear your voice' just hadn't sounded right to him unless he wanted to come across as a freak. So he dropped the idea and tried to be patient. Tried very hard at that too.

His stylist had had quite a time getting him ready for the party. He couldn't really understand what he wanted but what he knew was that everything seemed to annoy him. After nearly an hour of fussing he'd got dressed but something was missing..

As the party began he took a seat at a table that would provide a clear view of the entrance. Why? He didn't know. But with each arrival he'd begun to just grow more and more disappointed.

"Ahhh.. in one of your mood again, my dear friend." Taehyung throws himself into the seat next to Jungkook.

Jungkook only glares at him in reply.

Taehyung throws his hands up in surrender, "Gee.. okay okay."

But Taehyung was no fool. He'd been noticing the maknae's change of behaviour lately. Every time someone would open the door to a room they were in he'd look up hopefully only to look disappointed until that one person walked in, just like he was doing right now. Jungkook was never the talkative type but the type that observed. Knowing this was easy for the hyung to notice Jungkook's eyes follow that person around the room every time they were in the same room. Smiling to himself when he thought no one was looking.

He found himself stuck in an awkward position. If it had been any other girl Taehyung would've encouraged Jungkook to go for it.. but.. not this one.

Just then following Jungkook's eyes he see you walk in. For a moment he can't quite recognise who it is until the girl almost trips and curses loud enough for them to hear. He can't help but smile..

Ah.. only Y/N could look like that but still curse like a truck driver.

Jungkook immediately stiffens at the sight, he sits upright and his shoulders set in a tense line. He has forgotten to breathe every since his eyes fell of you.

The minute he notices that you're not alone his hand clenches into a fist on the table making his vein pop. Gritting his teeth he watches Sunghyun take your hand. He knows he should look away but can't bring himself to.

"Oh wow, is that Y/N?" Jin asks settling into a seat while looking towards the entrance.

Taehyung shoots him a look that could burn a hole through a concrete wall.

"So I guess we're all in a bad mood today. I shouldn't be the odd one out." Jin crosses his hands and slumps against his chair pouting.

"Jin-hyung, do you want a drink?" Namjoon approaches the table with two glasses in his hand.

"No! I don't want anything from you!" Jin barks at him.

"What did I do now?" Namjoon asks looking truly horrified.

"Nothing.. but since everyone's moody today," Jin looks in the direction of Jungkook and Taehyung "I thought I'd play along."

Just then Jungkook stands up without looking at any of them and walks away.

"Oh wow." Namjoon and Jin say in unison. While Taehyung just looks worried.

As the night progresses Jungkook can’t help but look for you, his eyes following you through the room but never did you once look at him.

He knew he needed a distraction and the women surrounding him weren't enough. At one point, they'd begun to talk about how good looking they thought he was while he just stood and smiled. They would laugh at everything and anything he'd say but nothing they said or did interested him.

Jungkook turned to look at you again and that time your eyes met. He felt his breath get caught up and a tight squeezing in his chest. Even though he'd tried to catch your eye all night long now that you were looking right at him he couldn't think straight.

But before he could do or say anything he saw Jimin approach you. They spoke to one another and suddenly you seemed to grow nervous hurriedly covering Jimin's mouth with your hand. Jungkook felt something shatter inside of him seeing you with someone else as he felt a strong energy roll through him like wild fire.

Unable to take it anymore he stormed out of the hall and simply kept walking with no destination in mind.

He needed to get some air.

He found himself climbing a flight of stairs. He pushed open the door to his favourite place in the building: The Rooftop. As he tired to catch his breath, he was surprised to realise that he'd been running.

It is so peaceful up here and it always helped him think straight. He had found this hide out one day when he was desperately in need of a place where he could hide himself from people and his own thoughts.

Whenever he'd tell people that he was at a bar or club or an indecent neighborhood truly he'd only be up here feeling the cold wind against his warm skin.

He walked away from the enterance door, which shut behind him with a loud click putting distance between him and the party.

But he couldn't seem to find his peace even up here as his mind kept going back to you. Seeing you with Jimin only made him realise what an significant part of your life he was. While he spent almost every waking hour think of you, you had other things to occupy your mind.

Seeing you walk in with Sunghyun first and then laughing with Jimin confirmed his doubts.

I’m not good enough for her.

Just then the door opens with it's ear splitting creak. Thinking maybe someone was looking for him Jungkook hid so that whoever came through wouldn't be able to see him.

Oddly enough he heard the clicking of heels and peeped to see who this intruder was.

There she stood in her beautiful peach dress that swayed in the wind as she looked down at the lively city. Her expression was unguarded and displayed child-like amusement. Jungkook couldn't help but smile.

She's so beautiful.

In that moment, he wanted to walk up to her and pull her close to him wrapping his arms around her. As his legs began to move towards her another figure appeared before him and he immediately recognised who it was.

The other man stood close to her and before Jungkook could react in any way he leaned forward and kissed her.

The world around Jungkook seemed to shudder and begin to crumble away. He knew he should go away but he couldn't bring himself to move. He couldn't believe that the person he trusted the most.. the person who'd practically brought him up would be the one to hurt him the most. The wind was no longer calming but rubbed harshly against his cheeks.

Quietly Jungkook made his way to the door and began to descend the stairs. He was careful not to make his presence known to the two.

He walked to the car park, got into his car and drove away at a menacing speed.
