Happy Ending (Jungkook x You ONESHOT)
A/N: This is a request from @veggiejimin Thank you for this wonderful idea, I hope I do justice to your amazing plot <3 I posted her request at the bottom of the story so that it wont spoil the ending. but for those who wants to read it first before reading the story, you can do that.
Also, I’m sorry but I think everyone knows by now that I’m a Jungkook slut, whore, will sell my soul to him and give up my first born for him, whatever you want to call it, so whenever you give me a choice to choose a member it will always be him. If that makes me a sinner, so be it. Hahaha.
And I have been dying to write a story based on this particular line, and I think this request fits what I have in mind:
“I never promised you a happy ending, you never said you wouldn’t make me cry” - Autumn Goodbye by Britney Spears
“I we do this, if we really going to be together, I cant promise you a happy ending Jungkook,”
“And I cant promise that I wont ever make you cry,” his answer make her smile. Being friends before developing any romantic feelings towards the other, the two of them are too honest with each other.
“So we are really doing this?” Jungkook smile at her question. A smile so bright she felt her heart might burst just from the look of it. He take a step forward and held both of her hands in his.
“Yes. We are doing this. I love you Y/N,” he leaned in and she felt his lips against hers, soft, sweet and everything more than she could have ever imagined, marking the day as the day he becomes hers and her, his.
Y/N is heads over heeks in love with one particular Jeon Jungkook, and she hopes this is her happy ending.
“Happy birthday Y/N!” Y/N smile, as she covers her face to hide her red nose, the after effect from her non stop crying. Something she does every year for the past five years on her birthday. Jimin and Taehyung look at each other before looking back at the cake which is top with fully lit candles that they were holding.
“Were you crying?” Jimin asks, brows furrowed in concern. He already knows the answer but decides to ask anyway. Y/N hastily shakes her head, trying to lie like she always does and gave them a smile. Taehyung placed the cake on her side table and went to engulfed her in a tight hug.
“There is no need to lie to us Y/N. You can cry all you want tonight. We are staying the night,” he kissed her forehead and flashed her his signature smile.
“Thankyou guys. Thankyou for doing this every year for me,” Y/N’s voice is almost unheard as it is muffled by the two boys who are now hugging her. “Lets forget about it and just eat some cake and watch a movie yeah?”
“Okay birthday girl. Whatever you want to do,” Taehyung smiles as he take the cake to the kitchen and Jimin starts to pick a movie. Y/N stood and watch the boys, a smile gracing her lips. She loves Jungkook, she loves him very very much, but every year on her birthday, she has never been more grateful to have Taehyung and Jimin in her life.
“You are back!” Jungkook immediately stood up from the couch and approach his hyungs who just walked in the door. He spent the whole night, and the better part of the morning restless and guilty, waiting for his hyungs to come back from his girlfriend’s apartment.
“How..how is she?” Taehyung glared at him as he asks the question.
“What do you think?” Taehyung’s voice is laced with sarcasm, making Jungkook hung his head low.
“She was crying even before we got there. And she spend the whole night crying too,” Jimin answered the restless maknae. “How long are you going to do this to her Kookie?”
“Yeah, if this goes on any longer, you should just let her go,” Taehyung interrupt. Jungkook’s head snapped at his hyung’s ridiculous suggestion.
“What?! No, never! I love Y/N,”
“You sure about that? With the way you treat her, maybe you should think again,” Taehyung’s said, voice full of venom as he marched off into his room. Jimin gave the maknae a small smile and pat his shoulder.
“You know Tae’s like that because he really cares about both you and Y/N right?” Jungkook nodded weakly. “But you really need to figure things out soon Kookie,” he reminds him before walking off.
Jungkook went back to the couch and slumped himself down. Him and Y/N has been together for 5 years now. Their relationship is wonderful. Y/N is the perfect girlfriend he could have ever asks for. But every year on her birthday, he will just shut himself out from the world. He felt bad. He should have spend it with her like any loving boyfriend should do. She deserves that. She deserves every happiness in the world.
But he cant… because that exact date is the day Nari left him for good.
He would like to think that he had moved on when he met Y/N five years ago. Her smile and her laugh gives makes the butterflies in his stomach goes crazy. He always miss her when she’s not around, and he enjoys being with her. He really thought he had fully moved on, that he’s happy now, no longer haunted by that dreadful tragedy, but every year when the annivesary of the day Nari walk out from his door came by, he snapped.
The memory of Nari with tears on her face as she said her final goodbye, how she said she will always love him, how she said she wish the circumstances are different so that they could be together haunts him. It just happens that the tragic days falls on Y/N’s birthday.
He still remember their first year together. Y/N was so happy. She has always been obssesed with birthdays. Anyone’s birthday. Jungkook remembers how happy she looks when she came to his dorm, bringing a piece of cake, just to celebrate her birthday with her boyfriend since they have a full day practice that day. And what did he do? He grabbed the cake from her hold and threw it on the floor, startling Y/N.
“Wh… why did you do that Kookie?”
“You are asking me?! Why the hell would you come here looking so happy for? Didnt I tell you not to disturb me today?!” He snarled. Y/N who is confused of what’s happening starts to tear up.
“But… its..its my birth-”
“Please just get out. I will see you tomorrow okay?” He pushed her shoulders, shoving her towards the door and slammed it close.
Y/N spend her birthday crying the whole night that year, confused and hurt on why her boyfriend is acting that way. Jungkook went over to see her later the next day, explaning to her and apologizing for his extreme behaviour. He explains that that particular date brings a bad memory to him, something he doesnt want to remember and that the day triggers his ridiculous actions. He never meant to hurt her. He had expected Y/N to throw him out from her house and break up with him from his shitty explanation; his behavior is beyond unforgivable. But instead she smile and said she understand that he has his reason and never once pressured him to tell her in detail of what happened that would make him do the things he did. In fact, Y/N never talk about that date or her birthday with him ever again.
Its been five years since then, and every day since that day, Jimin and Taehyung will come to see her, in place of her boyfriend, making sure she’s alright and not spending her birthday alone since her own boyfriend will shut himself out from the world without any explanation. Jungkook sighed. He can see the sadness in her eyes every year, he can see her longing to spend her special day with the one she loves, he can see that he is hurting her. He knows Y/N doesnt deserve such a shitty boyfriend like him, but Jungkook admits he is selfish. He is positive he loves her and he cant just let her go akrhough the memory of Nari still haunts him day and night. Jimin is right. He needs to figure things out. He just hopes Y/N will still be willing to wait for him while he tries.
Y/N never asks. She never question Jungkook. Not even once. She believed that Jungkook will open up to her when he’s ready.
But its been 5 years. And Y/N finally wonders how much longer can her heart take it.
“Oh you are here,” Y/N turned from the dishes and smile at Jungkook who just entered her apartment. He went over and give her a quick kiss, noticing how her eyes and nose are still a bit swollen. She must has spend more than a day crying. Jungkook tries to forget the thought and flashed her his biggest smile.
“Yeah. Practice was cancelled today, so I came. I wanted to see you. I miss you,” he tugged her closer by her waist and stare at her beautiful face that he miss so much, making her blush. “Lets spend the whole day together today,”
Y/N nodded her agreement and that is exactly what they did. Spending the whole day watching movies, cuddling, exchanging kisses and eating a whole lot of takeout food that Jungkook is sure he needs to work extra hard tomorrow to burn it all off. The day went well until Y/N suddenly stiffened as she straighten herself from laying down on Jungkook’s chest, making him confused.
“What’s wrong baby?” Y/N avoided his gaze and fiddled with her hands that is on her lap, indicating that she’s nervous about something.
“Kookie… we have been dating for five years now,”
“Yes. I know that,” he laughs.
“And… can I ask you something?” She turns to look at him. Jungkook grab her hand to assure her that she can ask him anything.
“Of course you can baby. You dont have to be so nervous around me. Its me,” he giggle as he traces unknown shapes in her palm, helping her to calm down. Y/N ease into his touch and takes a deep breath.
“I know I shouldnt ask… but its been five years… and I think this time i want to know,” she paused. “Can you tell me what happened on that day that makes you hate that date so much?” The moment the question left her lips, Jungkook’s face changed into anger and he immediately shrugged off her hands.
“You are right. You shouldnt ask,” was his cold answer.
“But Jungkook, I just want to know-”
“No! You dont need to know anything!” He suddenly stood up, yelling, startling her. “We had a very nice day today. Why do you have to go and ruin everything by being a curious little bitch?!”
To say that Y/N was shocked by his words was an understatement. During their whole five years being together, never once Jungkook ever said those harsh words to her. Nor has he ever raised his voice to her. What happened on that day that could make him change 360 everytime she brought it up?
“You know what? If you cant just let it go, then I dont think I want to do this anymore,” he starts to walk away, anger radiating off him. Y/N jumped to her feet and grab his arm before he could walk off.
“Jungkook, please. Dont go. I’m sorry,”
“I just need some time okay,” he shakes his arm off fron her hold and walk to the door. He turns to look at her before exiting. “Just… just give me some space,”
Y/N colllapsed on the floor the moment Jungkook slammed the door close, the tears she tried so hard to conceal finally rolls down her cheeks. After quite some time crying her heart out she slowly crawled to the couch, picking up her phone with the last of her strength.
“Tae… I think I’m ready to know what happened to Jungkook,”
“What did he do this time?” Both Jimin and Taehyung peered into Y/N’s swollen face that is sitting opposite of them in the quiet little cafe. She gave them a small tired smile.
“Stop defending him. He dont deserve it,” Taehyung protests as he rolled hia eyes at her answer. Typical Y/N. Always defending her undeserving boyfriend.
“Why do you love that asshole so much,” Jimin sighed. “Tae is right. He really dont deserve you,” Y/N laughs. Really, she is always so grateful for Jimin and Taehyung in her life. They were the only thing that could replace the hole Jungkook left inside her heart.
“Stop it guys. I know you love Kookie as much as I do,” Y/N chuckles, making the two smile.
“Sadly, that is true,” Jimin nodded before his face turned serious. “But Y/N… are you really ready to find out?”
Y/N fiddled with her hands again as her gaze shift between the two boys who is wearing identical serious expression. She exhale and nodded. “Yes. I think its time for me to finally know what’s making Jungkook this way,”
Jimin and Taehyung look at each other before nodding, silently agreeing to her request.
“Jungkook… he hates that date so much because that’s the day Nari left him,” Taehyung ’s soft voice pierced through Y/N’s heart. She had thought about millions possibilities of what could have happened to Jungkook on that day, but a girl? They have been together for five years, how is this girl still have so much effect on him? Is he lying when he says he loves her?
Jimin looks at Taehyung with a worried expression, silently discussing if they should continue on with the story but Y/N reached out from across the table and hold their hands, assuring them to go on. It might hurt her, but she needs to know. She needs to make Jungkook happy again, whatever it takes.
“Nari is Jungkook’s first love,”
“His true love,” Taehyung added, earning a smack from Jimin who points at Y/N with his eyes, worried his friend’s word might hurt her. Y/N chuckle at the two who is not at all subtle in their behaviour.
“They met when they were young. Before he even debuted. Jungkook is head over heels in love, and so is she,” Y/N focus herself on listening, ignoring the ache in her heart at knowing that Jungkook was once in love with someone else, most probably still is. “But you know us trainees are not allowed to have girlfriends right?” She nodded.
“They tried to hide their relationship at first, Jungkook spend what little money he have to visit and spend time with her whenever he can. But their relationship got found out eventually. Jungkook could have been kicked out but he has so much potential that the management decides they couldnt do that,” Jimin stops, looking at his friend for the continuation.
“The management went behind his back to see Nari,” Y/N gasps.
“That’s horrible. How can they interfere with his personal life like that?” Y/N starts to sympathuze with them now. Jungkook might be the love of her life, but the thought of people trying to break him apart from this Nari girl breaks her.
“That is how valuable Jungkook is to the company. They dont want to lose him. Especially knowing that Jungkook is willing to give up on his dreams to become an idol just to be with her,” Y/N dropped her gaze. Jungkook must love Nari so much if he is willing to do that much for her. For the five years they have been together, his career always comes first, and although Y/N understands that but sometimes it still hurts her feelings. But still, she never once said anything to Jungkook. Its something she always know that she will become second to when she agreed to marry him.
“So they told Nari that if she didnt leave him, then Jungkook would lose his chance to become an idol, which is his dream. And Nari, I guess loves him too much to do that to him. So she broke up with him and left him…”
“On the same date as your birthday,” Jimin finishes the story.Y/N was silenced from the shocked. She would never have thought that Jungkook could love someone this much. He surely never showed this kind of love to her.
“But… you guys are allowed to date after a year of debuting. Why didnt he find her then? Or wait for her till then?”
“She went to study abroad during that time. Jungkook was devastated when she left and he had planned to wait for her return, but he met you instead,” Jimin smile softly at her.
“Yeah. We thought you are the saving grace that would make him forget. He really does loves you, you know. But I dont understand why the date still triggers him. He shouldnt be like this. He already has you. Doesnt he know that he’s hurting you?!” Taehyung snarled. He is always protective of Y/N. He cares for her like a little sister and he hates to see her crying because of his stupid maknae. Y/N smile at him and rub his hand, trying to sooth him down.
“I told you, its okay Tae,” she lets out a little giggle. “And thankyou guys for telling me this. Now I understand him a little more. Its hard to lose someone you love,” Jimin sighed at her respond.
“I just wish Kookie would take the time to understand you too. You are really too good for him Y/N,” Y/N laughs and shakes her head.
“No I’m not. He deserves better than me,” she whispered, which the boys didnt hear.
After the conversation she had with Taehyung and Jimin, Y/N already know what her next steps are. Her next steps to ensure Jungkook’s happiness. She look at the name in her phone contacts, a number she gets from Taehyung behind Jimin’s back after a long session of begging, pleading and bribing with endless ice creams and pizzas.
“There is just one more thing I need to know. Do you still love him?” The pretty girls sitting in front of her smile shyly and nodded.
“I do. I love him so much I dont think I can ever love anybody else,”
“You promise to make Jungkook happy?”
The girl nodded her head as she smjle widely. “Of course I will. I will do anything for Kookie,”
“Then that is all I need to know,” Alrhough the way she called him makes her heart tighten, Y/N smile back, although her smile this time lack sincerity and sparkles like it usually does.
“Baby… are you still mad at me?” Jungkook held both of her hands tight in his, peering into her eyes, looking for a reaction. Y/N smile. Like she always does whenever they were fighting. Whenever Jungkook is being a shit to her.
“No I’m not. I was not even mad at you in the first place,” she shakes her head. Its been almost two weeks since their fight and Y/N didnt contact him at all, respecting his wishes to give him some space, although she misses him so much. But at least the time apart from him gave her the space she needed to seek out Nari and finally clear out everything. She didnt mean to see Jungkook today. Taehyung invited her to their dorm saying everybody is out except for Yoongi who is not bothered to keep him company. Bored and alone, he seeks out Y/N to accompany him. She didnt think that the other boys, Jungkook of course included will be back so soon. The moment Jungkook saw his girlfriend in a questionable position while playing Twister with his hyung, he immediately dragged her into his room. To be honest, he miss her and he had wanted to reach out to her sooner but his schedule has been deadly this past weeks. So its a good thing that Taehyung invited her over. Well, a good thing minus the position he found them in, limbs tangling around each other on the Twister mat. Jungkook seeths at the memory.
That hyung really deserves some beating.
“Why are you always so nice to me baby? I dont deserve any of this,” he whispered to her as he hug her tight and kiss the top of her head. Y/N return the hug, basking in the scent of him. She can feel the tears starts to prickle the corner of her eyes as she remembered what she’s going to do in a moment.
“Dont say that Kookie. You know you deserve so much better than me,” her voice muffled by his chest. Y/N breaks the hug and looks up to him, trying to burn every inch of his face in her memory. Jungkook was her first love, but sadly now she knows that she is not his. “Jungkook, you know I love you right?”
He smile and nodded. “And I love you too baby,”
Y/N tries to ignore the pain in her heart, now that she knows what he’s saying is most probably a lie. He doesnt love her. He might think he does but its Nari that he loves.. “And you know I would do anything to make you happy right?”
“Why are asking me this? What’s going on Y/N?” Jungkook’s brow furrowed, confused and a little nervous at her sudden questions. She just smile at him although her heart is breaking when she remembers what she’s about to do next.
“I think… I think we should break up,”
The silence following her statement felt like a thousand years before Jungkook finally say something.
“What are you talking about?”
“I think we should break up,” she repeated herself. More sure this time. Jungkook ran his hand through his hair and turn to look at her.
“I dont think that’s your choice Jungkook,” Y/N’s voice is soft, trying to hide her sadness.
“No!” He yelled, making her jumped. He walk towards her and grabbed her hands. “Why are you doing this? Is it because of our fight that day? Im sorry baby. I know I have been a shitty boyfriend but I swear I will try to change,”
“No Jungkook. Its nothing that you did,” her heart breaks to hear Jungkook plead and beg. He is not the kind of man to lose his composure like that.
“Then what is it? Tell me and I will fix it. Dont do this Y/N. Lets just forget this hmm?” His grip on her become tighter as he stares into her eyes. The way he looks at her almost make her change her mind, to just be selfish and stay with him. But what’s the point? Jungkook doesnt love her. If he does he wouldnt freak out every year like he did whenever that tragic date came around.
“Jungkook… I promise you that I will do anything in my power to make you happy. Do you remember that?”
“I do! Then why are you doing this? It doesnt make sense!”
“Because you are not truly happy with me. You are not in love with me,” Jungkook can hear the crack and shaking in her voice. He can see this hurts her as much as it hurts him. So why is she doing this?
“Stop it Y/N. I love you. You are my girlfriend! I love and I want to be with you! Stop saying nonsense, of course I’m happy with you!”
“I wish those words were true… but I know its not,” she smile sadly at him, eyes already glazed with unshed tears. “I know you love me Jungkook, but you dont love me as much as you love Nari. You wont ever love me as much as you love her,” Jungkook was stunned the moment he heard Nari’s name came out from her mouth. How on earth does she knows about her?
“Its okay. I already know everything there is to know about the two of you. And no, before you ask, I’m not angry at all Jungkook. In fact, I finally understand now why you pushed me away every year. Why my birth date ticks you off so much. Why we never eat at that restaurant downtown eventhough I like it so much, why you always turn off the radio when that one particular song came on. I already know everything Jungkook. And knowing why finally makes the pain I felt all this year seems better,”
Pain? How much did I hurt her by pushing her away because of Nari? Jungkook thought to himself. He was hellbent on making her stay. There is no way in hell he would ever let her go. He loves Y/N. But when Nari’s name came up, everything goes out the window. All the memories and his feelings came back to him. Jungkook is just speechless.
“Y/N, you dont have to do this. I-”
“No. Stop. Listen,” she raised a hand, stopping him. “I know why you two broke up. And I also know how much you suffered from losing her. How much you love her and miss her. She was your first love Jungkook. You never did get over her. You are willing to give up your dreams for that girl,” she chuckles but it just sounded force to his ears. He tried to respond but nothing came out. Everything Y/N is saying is true. He never did get over Nari. He realized that now. The pain he felt on the day she left still feels fresh and he relives it again and again every year on that very day.
“And… I also know that she still loves you and would do anything to be with you again,” Jungkook immediately looks up at that, a trace of hope and a glimmer of sparkle shows in his eyes, causing Y/N’s heart to shatter a little bit more, but still, she continues to smile, blinking back the tears. For Jungkook’s happiness, she knows this is the right thing to do. She just have to. “Everything has change now. The system is different now. There is nothing stopping the two of you to be together,”
“Wh… what are you talking about?” Jungkook was shocked by that statement. He would never in a million years expect Y/N to say that. He expected her to go hysteric, maybe gave him the cold shoulders for a few days or maybe cry her eyes out when she found out that he is still pining on Nari, but not this. “Y/N…” he looks into her eyes, no longer sparkle with laughter and happiness like she usually does. “How can I be with Nari? How can I do that to you?” You stepped closer to him, cupping his face in your hands.
“Jungkook… I know you. I can see it in your eyes how much you miss her. How much you still love her,” Jungkook lowered his gaze, making her chuckle. “And the fact that you never deny even once that you still love Nari cemented that fact Jungkook,” he kept quiet but his soft brown eyes are looking into hers now, his hand holding hers tight, which is still carressing his cheek.
“I’m sorry Y/N,” his voice so small you almost missed it. “This was never my intention,” You let out a small laugh and shakes your head.
“Dont be. You dont choose who your heart will fall in love with. And I know you will love whoever your heart chose with everything you habe Jungkook. You are just that kind of a person. It just happens that its not me,”
“Its okay,” she hushed him again. She dont think she can bare it if Jungkook says another word. She can already see it in his reaction, in his eyes, how much he loves Nari. How excited he is to be with her again. “Its time for me to go now Jungkook. Nari is waiting for you,” Jungkook takes a deep breath and kiss her palms before letting go. She walks towards the door but turns around when Jungkook calls out her name.
“How about you then Y/N? Are you going to be okay?”
“I’m not going to lie and say it doesnt hurt. It hurts. It hurts so much because I love you Jungkook. But it hurts me more knowing that you are happier with someone else and I’m the only reason that stops you from it. And that reason alone will help me to be okay. So I’m letting you go Jungkook,” tears are racing down her cheeks as she said the words that hurts her the most to him.
She is letting go the only man she has ever love.
A part of her silently cried out, begging and pleading him to say that she is mistaken. For him to say and insist that Nari is his past and she is his future, proving her wrong. Proving to her that he is indeed very much in love with her, not Nari, but those words never came. Instead as she reached out for the door knob, he still didnt say the words she wanted to hear, making whatever left of Y/N’s heart shattered completely.
“Thank you Y/N. For everything. I always thought you will be the one I will have a happy ending with,” he chuckle softly.
“Dont you remember,” she tries to cover up her shattered heart with a smile that just seems forced. “I never promise you a happy ending,” She teased him, repeating the words the two of them said to each other years ago when he asks her to be his.
“And I never said that I wont make you cry…” he whispered, as she nodded with a smile between her tears.
“Be happy Jungkook. I will always love you,”
Jungkook flashed his bunny smile one last time before she turns around and walk out. Walking out from his life forever, leaving him to ran freely into the arms of the love of his life as her whole world crumbles down around her.
Jungkook smile as he pulls Nari towards him, sticking his naked chest om her naked back, limbs tangling with one another under the sheets. Its been a week since his break up with Y/N and he went and see Nari on the same day. It turns out Nari, Taehyung and Jimin all knows what Y/N has already planned for him, asking the two boys to give him the details of Nari whereabouts once she left. Although his two hyungs dont really approve of what he is about to do, they still do what they were asked to, respecting Y/N last favor from them. He ran until he was out of breath to see Nari waiting for him, and without waiting for another second he capture his lips with hers.
Jungkook is finally happy.
At least he wants to believe he is.
“Good morning sweetheart,”
“Good morning Kookie,” Nari leans in to kiss him.
“No kissing until after I brush my teeth!”
“Nope, sorry. Cant wait that long,” he trapped her under his weight and kiss her senseless, grinning once they broke the kiss. “I love you Y/N. Forever and always,”
Jungkook shakes her head. Where did that thought come from? He is with Nari now. The love of his life. The girl he waited for, for so long. Why is he still thinking about Y/N? Nari’s voice broke his thoughts.
“Lets go out for breakfast!” She grinned happily.
“I thought that I would make us some breakfast and we can cuddle in bed all day. I have a free day until after lunch today,” Jungkook pouts, hoping Nari would understand. He wants to spend the day with her, getting to know her again.
“No way! I finally get back the man of my dreams,” Jungkook beams at her statement. “The most sought after idol. I want to show him off to the world,” Jungkook’s face fell the moment she finish her sentence. Something about what she said doesnt sit right with him. Does Nari only wants him back because he is well known now?
“Urm okay then,” he silently agree, wanting to pleased the girl of his dreams and he just doesnt want to dwell to much into it. As he tugs and adjust his mask while they were walking down the pathway his thoughts drifted back to Y/N again.
“Kookie, stop tugging on your mask! I already told you if you are not comfortable we should just stay in. You know I make a killer breakfast,” she grins looking at her boyfriend who is trying hard to conceal his identity with his mask, shades and hoodie.
“No. We have been dating for years and I have never once taken you out for breakfast!” He pouts underneath the mask.
“You know I dont mind right? I already know what I’m getting into when I agreed to date you,” Jungkook stops walking and turn to face her.
“But arent you upset? Dont you want people to know you have a boyfriend? Or who your boyfriend is?” She shakes her head.
“No. I dont need all that. If they know then they know. I dont need to tell the world about it. I’m already happy and lucky to have you loving me,”
“What did I do to deserve someone amazing like you? I love you Y/N. Forever and always,” He took off his mask as he leaned in.
“Shh. Just let me kiss my girlfriend,”
“Lets eat here!” Nari’s shrill voice broke his thoughts as they stop in front of an expensive restaurant.
“For breakfast? Isnt this a little too much?” Jungkook wondered. He was imagining eggs and toast, at his favorite diner. Well, Y/N’s favorite diner, maybe some additional pancakes and bacon if they are really hungry, not this… 5 star restaurant.
“Well, this restaurant suits your world star status! Take off your mask Kookie. No one will mobbed you here. They dont let common people in anyway,” common people? What has gotten into his Nari? Since when does she categorized people like that?
“Afterall, cant you see how pretty I’m dressed right now?” She twirled around, showing him her expensive dress that she made Jungkook bought her on their very first date after they got together, before heading into the restaurant. Ah, no wonder she wore such a pretty dress so early in the morning. Jungkook had wondered about it too, when he saw her outfit and her overly applied makeup, but thought maybe she just likes dressing up. Y/N would just wear her sweatpants and put her hair in a messy bun when they went out for breakfast, and she still look damn beautiful too him.
God, stop thinking about her Jungkook!
“Kookie, can we go shopping after this?” Nari suddenly asks him in the middle of their extremely fancy breakfast. Not that he minded, he can afford to eat it everyday if that’s what she wants but Jungkook prefer something more domestic and comfortable, just spending time with his girlfriend and not trying to figure out which fork is meant for which meal.
“Sure… but I have to go back after lunch. We have practice today,”
“Oh, can I come with?” Jungkook hesitates for a moment. Should he allow that? But looking at Nari with her pleading big eyes he has no other choice but to say yes.
“Of course you can sweetheart,” he flashed her his signature smile, making Nari squeal.
“Yeay. Oh my god I have to tell ny friends. They would be so jealous to know that I’m hanging out with the Bangtan Boys later! Hey do you know if Taehyung is seeing anyone, because my friend…” The rest of the conversation melted in the background as Jungkook starts to drowned out her voice. He doesnt need to know how excited Nari’s friends are or how hot they think his hyungs are. Is that the only thing that is important to her? Letting people know that she’s with somebody famous?
Its only been a week, but Jungkook is starting to feel like he had made a big mistake.
Weeks turned into months and Nari is still the same. All she cares about is people seeing her with Jungkook, dining at expensive restaurants, shopping and following him to practice where she will take endless photos and live videos with his hyungs, making them extremely uncomfortable. Where was the Nari that he remembered from 5 years ago? That cares for him and love him for him and not his status as someone well known? The Nari that sacrifice her happiness for the sake of his dreams and career? Did he only built her up in his mind? Has Nari always been like this?
Those thoughts starts to cloud his mind as Nari make her way out from his dressing room for the live show. She has made it a habit to come with him backstage now. Of course she does. There are a lot of idols back here, something that seems to interest her more than her own boyfriend did. Jungkook sighed as a knock was heard from the now empty room, his hyungs has all left to go to the stage already and saw Seolmin, one of his idol sunbaemin from one of the most well known group.
“Hi hyung, what are you doing here?” Jungkook smiled at him. They have met each other countless times during performnaces before and has gotten closely acquainted, where Seolmin asks him to be casual with him.
“Hi Jungkook,” he turned towards the hallway before turning back to the younger man. “Was that Nari? Song Nari?”
“Ermm yeah. You know her?” Jungkook looks confused. Weird. From what he knows Nari dont really mingle with idols and celebrities except for him. But the way Seolmin smirks gives him chills.
“Of course. She’s my ex girlfriend,” Jungkook was extremely shocked. Nari told him that she wasnt with anyone during the five years they were separated. He wouldnt mind, five years is a long time to be alone, but why is she lying? “Wait, dont tell me she’s your girlfriend now?” Jungkook weakly nodded before Seolmin started laughing.
“What do you mean hyung?”
“Dont get this the wrong way Kook. But Nari here has been known among us to latch onto the most upcoming idols. The most well known. She dated me, Junhyo, Minseol, Donghee…” the list goes on and on and on. An endless names that Jungkook recognized as extremely well known idols in the industry. “And now you. Well, probably because BTS is the latest hype right now,”
“That… that cant be true,” Jungkook’s voice came out as a whisper. Nari loves me right? We have history together. “We met even before I debuted, five years ago. We were together then?”
“And let me guess. She left you?” Jungkook nodded.
“Yeah… but that’s because my management wouldnt let me date. She did it to make sure I achieved my dreams…” Jungkook weakly tried to explain, but to be honest, even he himself doesnt seem to believe what he’s saying right now.
“That could be true Kook, and she might have changed and is sincerely in love with you right now, but you better find out the truth before you get hurt. You are a good kid, I dont want you to get hurt. You seems like you are really in love with her too,” he ruffled Jungkook’s hair before giving him a sad smile and turn around to exit the door. “And oh, five years ago was when we met and dated too. Before she cheated on me to latch onto another uprising idol,”
What Seolmin told him haunts him all day. Is Nari really like that? He tried not to believe it. His Nari is not like that. She loves him as much as he loves her. She sacrificed everything for him, didnt she? That is how much she loves him. But as he glanced towards the crowd and saw Nari talking to other random fans while pointing and waving at him, Jungkook starts to doubt. Is being with someone well known that important to her? Jungkook starts to think about their relationship for the past months. Their relationship consists of nothing but expensive dates, shopping trips, public announcements, videos with his hyungs. No intimate conversation, purely sex, no asking him how his day went or telling him about hers, no cuddling and talking all night long… Its true BTS is currently the most sought after group right now. Is that why Nari happily wanted him back when Y/N talked to her?
Jungkook sighed. He misses her. He thought about calling her a million times since the breakup. Just wanted to ask her to hangout and listen to her talk about her day, but he knows its not fair to her. He broke her heart, the least he can do is give her the space to get over him.
Get over him… to be honest, that idea left a bad taste in his mouth. Its selfish, he knows that but the thought that Y/N no longer loves him… it doesnt sit right with him.
His eyes flicked back toward Nari who is in the crowd. He’s going to find out the truth. Today.
“Hey baby! You were great today. I told some of your fans that we are dating, and you should see how jealous they were of me!” Nari starts talking once she entered his room. Jungkook huffed and turns to her, eyeing her excited form up and down.
“What’s wrong baby? Saw something you want?” She start to smirk as she walk forward to him seductively, mistaking the look Jungkook gave her as lust. Jungkook stops her at arm length, pushing her shoulders making her confused and startled.
“You didnt break up with me because you care about me achieving my dreams, or my career didnt you?” Jungkook’s voice is low and cold. He decides that he is going to give her the benefit of the doubt. He is going to give her the chance to say no.
“Wh..what?” Her voice starts to shake, eyes starts to look everywhere but into his.
“Five years ago. When we broke up when I was about to debut. Did you or did you not break up with me because you are cheating on me?” Jungkook knows he doesnt have a solid proof. If Nari denies this, then he will believe her, but the fear in her eyes and the shaking of her voice is starting to prove to him otherwise.
“I…I…” Nari cleared her throat to regain some strength. “What are you talking about?” She said confidently but its a little too late now. Jungkook smirked.
“I had a little talk with Seolmin hyung today,” was all Jungkook need to say before her face contorted into pure horror at the mentioned of the name.
At her reaction, Jungkook’s whole body is radiating with anger. How could she do this to him? He thinks about her every day for the past five years, but everything he thought he knew is a lie! She cheated. She actually cheated! She never really did love him did she?
“Kookie, I… I,” she avoided his gaze as she failed to find the right words to say to ease his anger.
“You cheated on me…. You. Cheated. On. Me!” He yelled, making Nari jumped. “You left me because you wanted to go to someone else. Someone who is more successful than me. Someone you can gain more popularity, money and status, didnt you?” He ran his hand through his face and hair in frustration. “Me being an idol is just an excuse for you to break up with me! I love you Nari. I never stop loving you even when we were apart for five years,” his voice shakes as he starts to feel the tears of anger and frustration coming out on the last sentence. “I wasted my time waiting for you. I wasted my feelings thinking about you. Pining over memories of us that is not even true! I hurt Y/N multiple times because of you!” He is screaming now, making Nari’s whole body shakes in fear as he moved backwards to get away from him. “Y/N…God Y/N…” he raised his anger filled eyes to stare into hers, giving her chills right to the bones. “Did you know that never once have I celebrate her birthday with her because it falls on the same say you left me?! I shut myself out from the world every time when I remembered you. Remember what we could have been. That’s how much I love you!” He swing his arms all around. “I never take her to her favorite restaurant because we had our first date there and turn off the radio when her favorite song came on because its too painful, because it reminds me of you!” Jungkook points one shaky finger towards her. “But you… you are just using me,”
Jungkook cant contained his anger any longer. The girl he worship all his life is nothing but a lie. She never love him. Not even a bit. “I… I broke up with Y/N because of you…” his shoulders shakes, trying to hold back his sadness as he remembers Y/N.
What have I done to us baby?
“Dont blame me if you are a shitty boyfriend to her. She was your girlfriend for five years. Its not my fault that she cant make you love her!” Nari tried to defend herself but badmouthing is an extremely wrong move as it only sets off Jungkook even more.
“Get out,” he released a low growled.
“Kookie, please. We can start over. I-”
“Get out. There’s no way in hell I would ever want to be with you again. I dont ever want to see your face or hear your name ever again. Get out now before I do something that both of us will regret,” Nari blinks back in fear at his voice, and with tears starting to rolled down her cheeks she gathered her things and left the dorm, leaving an angry Jungkook alone with his thoughts in the middle of the room.
It took him a while before he comes to his senses and calm down. The moment Nari left the room he immediately fished out his phone and start replaying videos of him and Y/N that he never deleted. Their memories together is too precious for him to delete, even if he did end up with Nari. The videos helps to calm him down. Y/N’s smile and laughter, her silly dance and corny jokes, he miss them all. All the selfless things she do to ensure his happiness. How he can always count on her to calm him down when he is stressed out from work, how he can always talk to her about his troubles. The passionate nights they spend together underneath her sheets. Jungkook closes his eyes. They had spend five years of good times together, why did he ever think the memory of Nari would be better suited for him? He should have fought for Y/N. He should have told her she’s ridiculous. The he loves her and not Nari. He should have never neglected her, hurt her, just to chase the memory of Nari.
He quickly gets up and grab his jacket, with only one destination is mind when he came to a stop in front of Jimin’s room as his two hyungs were having a deep conversation.
“Y/N called me two days ago before she left,”
Wait, Y/N? His Y/N? She left? Leave to where? Jungkook hides himself from his two hyungs, trying to hear more of the conversation.
“You didnt stop her Chim?”
“I tried Tae, but she has set up her mind. But something she said makes me feel so bad for her. I feel like killing Jungkook for hurting her like that. She has such a beautiful heart. She doesnt deserve to suffer because of that stupid boy,” Jimin sighed. “If only she had chosen me to fall in love with… I would have taken care of her,” Jungkook felt his heart clenched with both hurt and jealousy. He hates the fact that he hurt Y/N when all she ever do for the last five years they have been together is loving him and doing anything to make him happy. And he didnt know Jimin felt that way. That just… scares him. Y/N could not possibly fell in love with one of his hyungs right? She couldnt right? She loves him.
“What is it? What did she say?”
“I asks her if she’s really okay. She let out a laugh that sounded so sad it broke my heart,” Jimin trailed off. “She said she will be fine if it means Jungkook is happy now. She hates thinking that she cant make him happy like Nari does, but the look on his face when she said she’s letting him go to Nari just broke her. She hates herself for feeling the way she did. For hoping that Jungkook would laugh off her suggestion and calls her carzy, for Jungkook to say Nari is his past and he doesnt love her anymore,” Jimin raised his eyes to meet Taehyung’s. “But those words never came. Instead you know what that stupid maknae did? He thanked her and smile. Absolutely looking forward to see Nari again. At during that exact moment is when Y/N said she decides to really let Jungkook go,”
Let him go? Please tell me you still love me Y/N. Jungkook clutched his chest The pain he is feeling is starting to be unbearable.
“She said now she understands why Jungkook is always cold with her eventhough they have been together for five years. She finally realized that Jungkook never did love her. No matter what she did, Jungkook’s love is always for Nari,”
“Wow…” Taehyung sighed, eyes sad. Sad for Y/N’s broken heart. “That’s-”
“That’s not true!” Jungkook suddenly burst into the room, interrupting the conversation, hair looking disheveled, as if he has been running his hands through it a million times, eyes glazed with unshed tears.
“That’s not true hyung. I love her. I love Y/N. She is the best thing that could have happened to me and I lost her because I realized it too late,” he plopped down on the floor. Taehyung and Jimin looked at each other, not knowing what to do with the distress maknae on the floor. “I want her back hyung. Please tell me she will come back. I have lost her havent I?” He wailed making Taehyung chuckle.
“Were you earsdropping Kookie?” Jimin looks at him with disapproving eyes but Jungkook didnt care.
“You are seriously so stupid Kookie,”
“Yeah and stop crying. You look ugly when you cry. The tears doesnt fit your muscle,” Jimin continue to tease the maknae. Jungkook looks up to his two laughing hyung, confused as ever. How can they laugh right now? Cant they see how broken he is?
“Oh my god,” Taehyung rolled his eyes. “You look like a lost puppy. You are really whipped for Y/N arent you?”
“Its about time. Hope he stops being so stupid after this,”
“Yah idiot. Stop being so sad. Y/N only went for a long ass vacation to clear her mind. She will be back soon,” A smile instantly graced Jungkook’s face. He can feel a huge weight has been lifted. Y/N is coming back! She didnt leave him!
“Wipe that stupid smile of your face,” Taehyung glared at him. “It still doesnt mean she will take you back you idiot. You hurt her for five years, and you happily agreed to leave her for some other girl. Even I wouldnt forgive you if I am her,”
“That’s true Kook. What you did is kinda shitty,” Jimin immediately agreed. “But wait, what about Nari? You cant just break things off with her,”
“What?!” Two pairs of eyes turned wide at his confession. “You think love is a game? Something you can take lightly? Chase after it when you wanted it and throw away when you dont? Did you know how much Y/N suffered because of he-”
“I do!” He cut his hyung off. “I do know how much she suffered because of Nari, because of me…"Jungkook nibbled his lips as he turned his gaze downwards. His hyungs were right. Would Y/N even forgive him? "But I have realized that Nari is not the girl I have build her up to be. Every memory I had with her is a lie. Y/N… she’s the one for me. She’s the one who makes me happy. I miss her everyday when I’m not with her. I… I am absolutely head over heels in love with her hyung,” Jungkook’s confession silenced the two older boys who look at each other, dumbfounded, silently asking the other what the hell had happened between Jungkook and Nari, but they decide that would be a question for another day.
Jungkook stood up and held both their hands in his. “I will win her back hyung. She loves me. I know she does. And I will show her how much I love her. I will never miss to celebrate her birthday this time. Hell, I will celebrate it for one whole year if it means she will smile again. I will let her listen to her favorite song on repeat, take her to her favorite restaurant anytime she wants. I’m no longer haunted by the memory of Nari and I’m going to prove it to her,” his eyes turns soft all of a sudden. “All I want is Y/N,”
“Well, you have about a month to think how to get her back then,”
Jungkook chuckles as he watches the video on his phone. The videos of Y/N in his phone is the only saving grace he has to keep him strong for the past weeks as he waits for Y/N’s returns. Jimin told him that Y/N has disconnect her phone for an absolute peace of mind, not wanting anyone to get a hold of her. That is how hard she’s trying to get over Jungkook. But Jimin also lets him know when she’s coming back and he’s been waiting for that day for weeks now.
And that day is finally here.
Y/N is coming back today.
He watch the videos again as he leaned his head on the glass window of the van, his manager taking him and his two hyungs who are asleep on each other’s shoulders at the back seat to the airport. He is going to wait for her arrival. He’s going to surprise her. Jungkook realized he never once spoken to her since their breakup, but he dont need to. He will use the rest of his life in making sure that Y/N knows how much he loves her, wants her, and regret what he did for the last five years.
“Do you love me?” Jungkook hears him asks her in the video playing on his phone, the screen showing her beautiful giggling face.
“How can you ask that? Its impossible not too,” she giggle before running off alongside the beach.
“Hey, wait for me. I need my kiss!” The video shakes as he ran and it ends with Y/N giving the screen a kiss, making Jungkook smile.
The next video shows Y/N’s sleepy face, grumpy for being woken up too early in the morning.
“Kookie, let me sleep,” she whined into the video. “Why are recording me so early in the morning?”
“Because you look beautiful. I want to keep this forever. And I’m bored. Wake up baby,” he laughs in the video as Y/N tries to hide her face with the blanket.
The video starts to play the next one, where they were running around in the kitchen, flour all over Y/N’s face as he heard himself laughing and the camera shakes.
“Kookie, stop! I’m trying to make you breakfast!”
“I know. But the flour looks better on your face,” he giggled. “I love you Y/N,” the camera shifted angle to show him leaning in to kiss her. He must have placed it on the counter.
“I love you too Jeon Jungkook. Forever and always. Dont you even dare to break my heart,” she poke his nose, making flour stick to it as she laughs.
Jungkook smile, feeling tears are starting to pool at the corner of his eyes. I’m sorry I broke my promise. I’m sorry for breaking your heart baby. He misses her so much. He wants all of this again. He wants to wake up beside her again. Cooking breakfast together, cuddling all day long.
He wants Y/N back in his arms.
Jungkook arrived at the airport ealier than expected, a bouquet of sunflowers in his hand, Y/N’s favorite flowers. When all the other girls will usually prefer roses, his girlfriend of course have a unique taste.
Jungkook really hopes she is willing to hold that title again. He really dont know what to do if she didnt. He swears to be different now. He will make her happy. He will shower her with everything she deserves. He will love her like she has never been love before. That is if Y/N still wants to take him back. Jungkook sigh, fear creeping in his mind. What if Y/N hates him now? What if the vacation is successful and she really did get over him? He did ran back to his ex girlfriend the moment she gave the okay. He smacked his head. What an idiot.
Jungkook shudders as he remembers the last word he says to her, which is months ago.
“And I never said that I wont make you cry…”
He is really an idiot. He really is. How can that be his parting word? If Y/N ever take him back, he swear he will say it to her every single day that he wont ever let her cry ever again. Noy a single tear will grace her eyes. How can he ever say that to her? How can Y/N still accept an idiot like him in the first place?
He paced around the waiting area, anxious and excited both at the same time. Trying to ease his mind, he watches the airport TV which is currently showing some K drama. A few minutes into the show, the program was cut to make way for a breaking news.
“Breaking News: Flight XXXXX bound to Seoul which is expected to arrive today at 1800 was reported to have crash. There were no survivors reported so far. Stay with us for more updates. We wish our sincere condelences to the friends and family of the victin of this tragedy”
Jungkook felt his world spin as he drop the flowers on the ground, losing all strength and collapse on the carpeted floor.
“Y/N’s flight,” Taehyung finishes as he too collapsed on the ground next to Jungkook.
The gasps and cries from people who are also waiting for the same flight around him seems so far away as he can only hear a blinding sound in his ears. Flight XXXXX.
Plesse dont take Y/N away from me.
“It cant be her. It cant be right hyung?” Jungkook is hysterical as he turns to both Jimin and Taehyung who is holding him, tears also evident in their eyes. The two kept quiet, not knowing what to say as they too cant believe the news. “It cant be her! It cant be!” Jungkook is yelling through his tears.
“Kookie, calm down. We still dont kn-”
“It cant be her hyung,” he wailed. “I need to tell her I was wrong. I need to tell her I’m sorry. I need her to know that I’m happiest when I’m with her, not with someone else. I… I need to tell her I love her. She has to hear me say I love her. She have to, she have to!” Jungkook’s cries starts to get weaker as he continue to weeped and wailed on the floor. Taehyung and Jimin engulfed him in a tight hug, both crying just as much as Jungkook himself.
“You didnt get to hear me say that I will love you forever too. I never get to promise you that I wont ever make you cry again. You boarded that plane because you need to get away from me. Me! Your stupid idiotic boyfriend! I’m.. I’m sorry baby. I’m so so sorry baby. I guess you meant what you said… we were not meant for a happy ending. Goodbye my love, goodbye Y/N,” Jungkook’s voice is muffled by Taehyung’s shoulders as he hold them tight, making the other two cry louder at what the maknae is saying.
Memories of their last encounter starts to flood his mind. The way the tears stream down her face as she flashed him one last smile. Jungkook felt his heart break, shattered, ruined to tiny pieces with regret as his last words to her keeps replaying in his mind.
“I never promise you a happy ending, remember?”
“And I never said that I wont make you cry…” he whispered.
“Be happy Jungkook. I will always love you,”
A/N: Andddddd, for those who dont like sad endings, I did say in the announcement that there were no survivors so far. Do you think Y/N survived? Or could she have changed her flight and not boarded the said flight at all? I will leave it to you to decide 😘 Tell me what you think!
