⊹♡ᵎ . Jungkook. 🐇 ˖୨୧ ⋆

You had been in love with Jungkook for years. And he never knew. Or perhaps he never wanted to see it. Because to him, you were his best friend. The person he called when he was happy, when he was sad, or when something went wrong. But you were never the person he chose.

You heard about all his girlfriends. You helped him choose gifts for them. You comforted him when he had his heart broken. And while he was telling you how much he loved other people... you smiled as if you weren't falling apart inside. "I don't know what I would do without you. " He always said that. And it always hurt. Because it was never a "I need you". It was never a "stay with me" kind of thing. Just... "thank you for being here. " 🌧 The worst part was that you were always there. When everyone else left, you stayed. When I was sad, I would run to you. When I needed someone, it was you. But when it came to loving someone... you were never an option.

One night, after another breakup, Jungkook ended up asleep on your shoulder while talking about how much he had loved someone else. And you simply closed your eyes. Because you understood something painful. It wasn't that Jungkook didn't love you. It was that he had never looked at you the way you looked at him.

"And perhaps the saddest thing was not loving him... but knowing that you would always be the place he returned to, but never the place where he stayed. "
