Jungkook had not even a wink of sleep the entire night. He thought he would get tired and eventually pass out but that wasn't the case. It wasn't unusual for him to stay up until 2 or even 4 am. However, he didn't plan to stay up the entire night.

At 6:17 am, Jungkook finally came around the fact that he wouldn't go to sleep so he decided to make a use of his energy by going to HYBE to workout at their gym. While listening to music, Jungkook worked out for over an hour straight until he was joined by someone else. It was a staff the by chance Jungkook knew and was friendly with. Since they're similar in age, they kicked it off when they first met.

"This is unusual," The staff says. "It's the first time I meet you in the athletic room."

"That's because I couldn't sleep so, I chose to come here to run out my energy," Jungkook explained.

"Oh, I see," the staff puts down hit bag. "For a second I thought you were going through one of those break up fazes where you do things you normally wouldn't do."

Jungkook raised his eyebrow and looked at the staff confused. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Oh, sorry. I guess no one is supposed to know about that yet. I'll keep my mouth shut, I promise," the staff gestured zipping close their lips.

Jungkook dropped what he was doing and turned towards the staff. "Are you talking about me and Yuna?" He asks.

"Of course! Who else would it be? You must be having a hard time since it's your first public relationship. Your company is taking good care of it so you don't need to worry about it. I heard about their meetings."

This staff had a slight problem with gossip. Revealing information they think is well known but was spread by them.

After deciding that a dating scandal was the best solution to hide Taehyung's kid, the higher-ups don't feel the need to tell him when they're going to end the arrangement. The fake relationship had gone on for longer than he ever expected, but he knew that he didn't want to find out from gossiping employees or the media about the breakup. And that wasn't the only reason he was upset. After spending so much time with Yuna, he actually began to truly like her.

As his feelings grew, Jungkook asked himself why he never thought to approach her before. Had he known just how close they would get, Jungkook would've begun a real friendship with Yuna instead of always avoiding her. As an idol, he can't be blamed for fearing the worst if he even breathed in her direction.

After his workout, Jungkook called Yuna, asking if he could talk to her. They agreed to meet up in her studio. When he arrived, Jungkook immediately noticed a blanket and pillow on the couch.

"Did you sleep here last night?" Jungkook asked. Yuna followed his eyes and saw he was referring to the mess on the couch. "Oh, yeah. When I finished my work it was already late so I decided to just sleep here. It's a bad habit," Yuna explained herself. "What's up?"

"Has anyone talked to you about breaking us up? Someone told me that our agencies are planning to release the news soon."

Yuna knew exactly what he was talking about. "Yeah, I know. They said they're doing it sometime next month."

Jungkook was caught off-guard. If Yuna knew about it, why didn't he? Not only that, she seemed to be unfazed by the fact their fake relationship is coming to an end. She's not upset but she also doesn't appear particularly happy about it. She doesn't seem affected by it.

"I knew it wasn't going to last long, but why would they do this now? They could've ended it months ago."

"I know right," Yuna said annoyed. Yuna liked Jungkook but hated this arrangement between them. It ruined her relationship with Mingyu and she knew that the longer they stayed together, the less likely she would be able to recoup their relationship.

Jungkook was disappointed in Yuna's tone. All of this time, the relationship must've really been a complete burden despite all the time they had spent together.

Yuna was confused by being met with silence from Jungkook. "Did you not what it to end? You don't look pleased," she raised an eyebrow.

"Of course not. After getting to know you better, I thought there would be a chance that this could turn real..." Yuna could not disguise her disgust at such proposal. She built her image around confidence, embracing her sexuality, and showing zero regard towards the opinions of other. But no man was worth the amount of hate and threats she was receiving by being with Jungkook. Did he not consider that? Does he not know that multiple crazed fans of his tried to kill her and sabotage her multiple times? One of them was even sentenced to prison.

"Jungkook, I like you, but I would never willingly date you. You have to remember who we did this for. You did it for Taehyung, I did it for Sol, and we both did it for taesoo. But to continue a relationship with you is just not worth the hassle."

'They worst she say is no'

That's false, this is the worst.

"You don't think it's worth it to explore how much further we can take our relationship? I've been supporting you this whole time and I won't stop even-"

"Jungkook!" Yuna grabs onto his shoulders. "Our fans have gotten into physical fights, multiple people have tried to hurt me, and this is all negatively effecting my members. I don't want this and I deserve so much better if I'm in a relationship with another man. And I just don't like you that way."

The room went silent. Despite knowing what she said was hurtful, she could only have little sympathy. She's had it 100x worse than Jungkook, and at the given chance to end it, she will always take it.

"I think I was too harsh with my words. I feel bad now," Yuna voiced her concerns to her sister.

"You think? It sounds like you were intentionally trying to hurt his feelings," Elina said.

"I wasn't trying to..." Yuna reflected.

"He definitely hates you. Just hope he won't try to ruin your career after that."

Yuna shook her head, "I don't think he would go that far."

"You never know," Elina began. "So many men just put on an act to hide how monsterous they are. Did you hear about *redacted*?" Elina asked.

Yuna sat up in curiosity and replied, "No, what did he do? Isn't he married?"

Elina nodded with a disappointed face. "He wanted kids but she didn't because she wanted to focus on her career. He then drugs her every night to forcefully impregnate her. The only reason she found out was because she got arrested for being under the influence of drugs but she doesn't do drugs at all."

Yuna couldn't contain her gasp. No matter how many times she hears these stories, they'll always bring her a strong sense of disgust.
