˖ ‼️ " ᝬ Jeon Jungkook friend Ꮺ!!

The night was thick; only her breathing broke the silence of the car. Her eyes, usually bright, reflected melancholy. Lately, our intimate encounters had been overshadowed by her thoughtful stillness. Our secret, nine-month relationship had been born in the shadow of my relationship with Ji-Eun, her best friend. Guilt gnawed at me; I was a coward, a liar. But she was different; her acceptance ensnared me in a web of conflicting emotions. "Stop thinking about Ji-Eun..." I whispered. "She thinks I'm at the party." She moved to the passenger seat. I sighed, frustrated and guilty, as I settled behind the wheel. The silence was tense, until she turned. A glimmer of hope shone in her eyes. I cupped her face; the softness of her skin beneath my rough fingers, then we kissed intensely, an attempt to erase the guilt and the pain. We separated breathless, our lips swollen and red. "I only love you..." Deep down, that was a lie.
