y/n pov

I sat silently on the bed, waiting for Jungkook to return to his own chambers. I wasn't entirely certain that waiting for him in the dark was the best idea ever. It would be probable that he might mistake me for a burglar and he would call for help.

The thing was that I wanted to talk to him first, alone, without the public, or his family.

Just him

I thought about the past few days, how I ran away from this place and how I eventually was right back again.

I had fled to the countryside, a place where there were no people and no media. I was alone with Bono, just like we were before, right after mother abandoned me.

I needed the calm and peace of nature. After I left Taehyung's house I knew there was one person I could go to that would help me. I had arrived at Mr. Moon's place in the middle of the night. I must have been insane to show up at my ex-boss house like that but I really didn't know any other place to go. Plus ever since I started we developed that trust relationship. He was a little bit taken aback but when I explained everything he agreed to help me. He had given me a car and an address of one of the places that he sometimes used to hide clients, sort of safe houses I suppose.

It wasn't easy though, I was so heartbroken. There were numerous times I picked up my phone to call Jungkook but in the end I stopped myself.

I didn't look at his messages or his missed calls. I had disabled my internet connection so only phone calls or text messages that weren't via the internet came through. I didn't want to hear about the royal family, nor the ball, nor all the malicious rumors about me that kept coming up.

My thoughts were disturbed by the opening of the door. My heart skipped a beat because even though it was dark I was sure that the figure I saw was Jungkook. He froze for a moment and I knew he had noticed my presence.

Before he could scream for help or attack me I whispered to him

   'Kook'

He immediately switched on the light.

He didn't look well, bags were under his eyes and he looked tired in general. Not all too surprising after everything he went through the past days. It did make me sad to see him like that.

    'Y/n' he let out, the tone was a mixture of relief and heartache.

He practically ran to me, at that time I stood up from the bed.

     'I missed you so mu...' I started but he pulled me closer into an embrace. He hugged me tightly. I don't know what it was in this moment but it brought tears to my eyes.

    'I am so sorry I left.' I cried out.

He pulled back and wiped the tears away with his thumb.

    'Hey don't cry. I am so sorry for what my father said. He wasn't right. You don't bring disaster to my life. These past few days without you were a disaster. You bring me happiness.'

Now I cried harder and I looked down.

He softly tilted my head 'He only said those things because Hana's mom threatened him with a letter from my mother.'

I nodded 'I know, I am so sorry about your mother'

    'You know?' he asked, surprised.

He broke the embrace and stepped back. It was a better position to talk to each other.

    'I saw it on the news. I actually didn't watch my phone or the news or anything but at some point, Mr Moon called me to tell me I should turn on the tv, so I did.'

     'Where did you go?'

      'I asked Mr Moon for a place, he has those safe houses, so he gave me one to stay in.' I explained.

He stared down but there was this sadness in his eyes. It was obvious to me he was thinking about something, and mostly that he wanted to ask me something.

     'What is it kook?'

       'Why did you come back?'

I swallowed, it didn't seem he asked this because he didn't want me here. It seemed he was starting to believe it was indeed better for me to be by myself.

      'when I learned about why your father said those things, and what happened to your mother. I.. I didn't want you to go through that alone. I love you and I realized that I can handle the media if it means I can be with you, just like I have before.'

Tears were brimming in his eyes. I stepped closer again and I caressed his cheek

     'hey don't cry okay? I can't bear it.' I let out and he shook his head.

He then leaned forwards and put his lips on mine. There was this desperation in the way he kissed me as well as in the way I kissed him.

We were both not in the happiest place yet being together made it bearable. The last few days by myself were hell, which was odd as I was used to being alone. But being without Jungkook hit differently.

Jungkook leaned back and I was sad he broke the kiss. His forehead still touched mine

     'I love you too, more than anything.'

I was at a loss for words and instead of saying something sappy back, I hugged him again. His hand went through my hair

      'How did you even get here?' he eventually asked

      'I used to be a spy, remember? I mentally saved the schedule of the guards, I also knew there was a small breach in your garden's walls ' I shrugged while looking up 'It wasn't an easy entrance but not impossible..so yeah.'

He smiled, it was the first time since I saw him again that he smiled

     'What?' I asked, wondering what was so funny.

      'No, I sometimes forget that's how our relationship started in the first place. and also that I shouldn't piss you off because I wouldn't stand a chance.'

I also chuckled 'no you wouldn't.'

     'Wait, where is Bono?' he asked worriedly. It melted my heart that he cared so much about my dog.

      'I left him at Taehyungs for now. sneaking into the palace with him would be harder than sneaking out when there is a huge ball going on.'

      'Fair point.'

       'Do you want to speak to my family?' he asked hesitantly. It was stupid but the first thought that came to mind was his father, his severe look on his face when he told me all those horrible things. "you need to break up with my son"

I shook the thought away, he said it because he was under a threat. 

He publicly defended me after that, taking the fall for what has passed. 

Instead of forcing me to stay away, he outed the existence and content of that letter.

I took a deep breath

      'okay let's do it.'
