⊹✰ᵎ . Jungkook¹. 🐇 ˖୨୧ ⋆

At first you didn't realize it.
Because Jungkook never did anything strange.
He never followed you.
He never called you too many times.
He never crossed any lines.
He was simply... always there.

You were going to a coffee shop.
And he would appear hours later.
You were visiting a bookstore.
And you could find it in the hallways.
You were talking about a song.
And the next day he was listening to her.
It always seemed like a coincidence.
Until they stopped looking like that.

"Isn't that strange?"
You asked Taehyung one afternoon.
"What thing?"
"Jungkook."
Taehyung remained silent.
Too much silence.

Because everyone had noticed.
Jimin.
Namjoon.
Yoongi.
All.
Everyone except you.

Jungkook was not in love.
That stage had already passed.
His case was worse.
Because the more she tried to get away...
But I ended up thinking about you.
I wanted to know where you were.
Who were you talking to?
If you had arrived home safely.
If you were smiling.

And one night you finally understood why everyone looked so uncomfortable when you mentioned his name.
Because you found a box.
A box you should never have opened.
✦
Movie tickets.
Photos.
Napkins with your handwriting.
Bracelets you had lost years ago.
Little mementos that you didn't even remember giving her.

And deep down...
A photograph of you.
One you didn't even know existed.
Taken when you were distracted.
Smiling.

The sound of a door closing made you look up.
Jungkook was there.
Still.
Watching you.

"Jungkook..."
Your voice trembled.
But he didn't seem surprised.
Just tired.
Like someone who had been hiding something for too long.

"I tried."
He said in a low voice.
"That?"
"Get away."

Silence.
"I tried many times."
And for the first time...
Jungkook looked broken.
Not furious.
Not obsessive.
Just... tired.

"But I always end up coming back to you."

And that's when you understood something terrifying.
It wasn't that Jungkook was chasing you.
It was because I had been circling around you for so long...
that he no longer knew how to live without doing it.

I COULDN'T TYPE THE DAMN ASTERISKS () BECAUSE I CAN ONLY TYPE 2000 LETTERS‼️ (I hate this) :3
