Jungkook's POV

I'm outside Siri's apartment and I'm nervous like crazy. This could either go really well or really badly for me. It could ruin my friendship with everyone. But it's a risk I'm willing to take. For her.

I knocked on the door and my heart started racing when I heard her sweet voice call out that she was coming.


Siri: "Babe, I thought you were- Oh! Jungkook! Sorry! You're not who I was expecting" She giggled apologetically while I winced at her calling me my name rather than 'Koo'.

I started panicking now.

You're losing her!


Siri: "What are you doing here? I definitely gave you your birthday gift already, didn't I?"

She looked at me confused as she tilted her head cutely and my heart pounded in my ears at the thought of what I was going to do next.


Gonna risk it all now.


I didn't even think before I acted. I took a step forward, grabbed her face between my hands and I kissed her, hoping that whatever magical thing is going on with me being here in this time will work its magic through this kiss- if it even does exist.


"What the hell Jungkook?!" Siri said angrily as she pushed me away from her, making my heart ache. I guess true love's kiss is not a real thing...


JK: "I'm sorry! I just had to try it! I had to see if you would come back to me!"


"Come back to you? What are you talking about? How could you kiss me knowing I'm with Yoongi?!"

I couldn't keep it a secret anymore. I had to tell her everything.


JK: "You're gonna think I'm crazy but trust me, I'm telling the truth. Please, just let me explain." I begged with my eyes.

She looked at me hesitantly with furrowed eyebrows.


JK: "Please Siri. Let me explain" I begged.


She looked wary of me but nodded her head. "Fine. You can come in and explain. But we're staying right by the door."

I nodded and she allowed me in. She closed the door and I took a deep breath in and prepared myself.


"I'm from the future. Five years from now. And in that future, you and I are married. Have been together for 5 years and married for the past 3 years. We made a connection on your birthday and have been inseparable since."


Her eyes widened in slight shock. "Well... I was not expecting you to say something like that... That's... pretty far-fetched..."


JK: "I know it sounds crazy but it's the truth. In 'our' time, we were practically like soulmates. We were each other's other half. I promise you, I'm not lying."


"Okaaay... If you're sticking to this story then how'd you get to this time?"


JK: "I have no idea. Some kind of magic just happened. I was at home in our shared bedroom and suddenly I wake up 5 years in the past in my shitty flat and as a damn student again!"


"This is really hard to believe, Jungk- I mean Koo. Sorry, I just say whichever name comes to mind first..."


JK: "If you don't believe me then I'll start with that. The nickname Koo. That was the nickname you gave to me after our first date. It's why I wanted you to call me Koo. Because I missed hearing it from you"

"And that song I sang on the ferris wheel, you wrote that song for me and sung it to me at the concert 5 years ago- which technically is today. That was your birthday gift to me in our time. We confessed our love to each other that night too. I knew I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life after I heard you singing that song."

Siri's eyes widened and she started looking unsure of things but I could tell she was slowly starting to believe me.


I took her hands in mine gently and caressed her knuckles. She didn't pull away from me or push me away this time, she let me hold them but she was still slightly cautious of what I would do.


JK: "I know you like Iron Man and that you love going on extreme rides. That's why I suggested watching the Avengers movie and going to the theme park last week. I know your favourite flower is the lily. I got a tattoo of one on my arm in the future to represent you. I know your eyes light up glacier blue when you're happy and excited, and they go a deep ocean blue when you're upset. I know you don't eat seafood because you hate the smell of it, and I know you hate the cold even though you think you can handle it."

Siri's eyes softened and she started giving me a small smile.


JK: "I know you like head massages or having your chest rubbed in circles as you drift off to sleep. I know the only place you're actually ticklish is your feet. I know you like caramel macchiatos with 3 sugars. You always said you needed the extra sugar because you're not sweet enough, even though you're one of the sweetest people ever."

She looked down at our hands together and started squeezing my hands that held hers and I continued with what I know...


"I know you have a scar on the side of your foot from a swimming accident. I know you like both cats and dogs but think cats are assholes. I know your favourite Disney princess is Ariel from the Little Mermaid, your favourite Pixar movie is Ratatouille and your favourite anime is Sailor Moon."

Siri was stunned into silence. I could tell I probably freaked her out with all I knew about her.


JK: "I know everything about you because you were once mine. I love you."


Siri: "Jung-"

No, not my name again!


You're losing her!


JK: "Please come back to me!" I said quickly, "I know you're happy with Yoongi but I can make you happy too. Please let me have a future with you again."

I squeezed her hands and brought her closer to me, laying our foreheads against each other as I looked at her lovingly. She searched my eyes as if she's still unsure about something.


"But why are you here?" She asked softly.


I was confused at her question, "I just told you why I was here. Because you're my wife in the future and I'm here to convince you we're meant to be together"


"No, I mean... If all this is true... then why are you here, in this time period rather than the future you supposedly have with me?"

I gulped and my heart dropped with guilt as I had to tell her the hardest truth. That things haven't been going well with us lately and I hurt her...


JK: "I... um.. In the future... I fucked up. I was getting stressed with work and I resorted to drinking my stress away. I wasn't home a lot and would come home drunk... and you wouldn't have sex with me because of how drunk I was..."


Siri's head snapped back from mine and she looked at me with wary eyes, "You cheated didn't you?"


JK: "No! I didn't cheat! I swear! I would never do that! But..."


"But?..."


Fuck, I had a really horrible feeling in my gut right now. I felt like vomiting.


JK: "But I wanted to..." I said quietly, instantly hating myself for ever having such horrid thoughts against my own wife.

Her eyes widened again and she looked a little hurt.


You're losing her...


JK: "I was upset that you were nagging at me a lot- which I know now was not actually you being naggy but you were just worried for me- and you wouldn't put out for me and then work stress and that prick Wonho on top of that... I got angry. Really angry that I said some stupid shit to you. I said the next time a woman flirts with me, I might not say no and I also said I felt I wasn't lucky to have you as a wife... that lately, in our time, I wished we weren't together... and that wish must have come true because I was brought back to this time..."


"Wow..."


JK: "I thought us not being together was what I wanted when I woke up in this time period because at the time, I still carried the anger and stress from our future. I thought I wanted to be single and that I shouldn't make the connection with you in this time period... I didn't know Yoongi would be the one to interfere with that guy and make the connection with you instead. I thought it was what I wanted... but then seeing you happy and smiling again... and being reminded of the things we have in common... I started missing you... I started remembering our wedding vows and then with the concert coming up, I remembered how I fell in love with you in the first place. I realised not having you is not what I want. Having you as mine again is what I want. And... I have been trying to steal you from Yoongi because I want you back..."


Siri looked at our hands as she thought about everything I said. I squeezed hers in mine tighter.


JK: "Please... Please give me a chance to make things right..."


"Jungkook..."

I winced at hearing that again and my heart started racing in fear. I could feel tears brimming my eyes...


You're losing her...


"Please, Siri. Please. I won't take that job in the future. I won't resort to drinking my problems away. I won't be weak because you will be there to make me stronger, just like you always have been. Please?"

I begged but I could see her swallowing thickly as she started pulling her hands away from mine.


Siri: "I'm sorry-"


No no NO!


You're losing her!


I started panicking even more that I dropped to my knees and wrapped my arms around her waist and started crying.


JK: "Don't do this, please! I love you! Please give me a chance! I promise I'll do better! I promise to be a better husband!"


"Aww, Jungkook..." She caressed my head gently with one hand and rubbed my arm with the other as I continued holding her tight and cried.

"Koo, please let me go... Yoongi will be here soon..."


My heart sank even further. Yoongi. Fucking Yoongi!


JK: "NO! He won't love you like I love you! Siri please don't let me go! Don't let us go!"

I heard her sigh as she continued trying to comfort me.


Siri: "I'm sorry... It's just... Even though you know all those things about me, I feel like I don't know you apart from the things we have in common. I just... Don't have those feelings for you... Maybe if you had made that connection with me like you were supposed to then things would be different... but you didn't make that connection with me... Yoongi did and now I've fallen for him. Jungkook... Yoongi and I confessed our love to each other last night..."


My heart shattered. Felt like it was being ripped out of my chest and burned right in front of me.


I was too late...


"I'm really sorry Jungkook..."


You're not losing her... because you've already lost her... You lost her the second you decided to not help her that night...


You failed.
