you brushed your fingers though your hair, as your body fell back into the leather seat of his vehicle. it was a bittersweet feeling.

you did not know how to feel, when it came to your runaway intentions, with jungkook. you felt a wave of anxiousness invade you, but also felt relieved by not having to go through the wedding. or at least it being delayed for now.

"why did you.." you trailed off. your voice weakens, as you spoke and your eyes began to tear up.

"you love me, don't you?"

by his question you remain quiet, as the thick tears soon leave your eyes, running down your now, pale cheeks. you didn't respond, unsure of what to reply with. you didn't even know the answer for yourself.

"tonight i was asked of how far i'd go for someone i love.. and i said, i'd go as far as i can."

𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐒𝐊𝐈𝐏.

after jungkook's words, the rest of the car ride went silent. the two of you lost the cars that were chasing after you two in which eventually leads jungkook to bring you to his far away, million dollar penthouse.

the ride there was half an hour. meaning, you were stuck in a car with the male, who you wished to see last out of everyone — two months ago, the specific night at banpo bridge you remembered jungkook's specific words that he told you.

it was as clear as water, and though his demand for you to forget who he was, occurred a while ago, the pain remained inside you as if it was just yesterday.

after that cruel experience with him, you came into realization to not let anyone enter your life, ever so simply, like he did. jeon jungkook walked into your life, and left as if what happened, is nothing to him.

and you despised him for that.

but here you were, running away from your special day with the man who you supposedly cut ties with.

exiting the elevator, you followed after jungkook as he guided you down the dimmed hallway, of his big penthouse. reaching the door jungkook unlocks the lock after pressing a few digits of his password. you kept your gaze lowered as he pushed the door open.

"get inside." he said in a demanding tone. your eyes traveled up to meet his, as you sighed.

"we.. no, i should go back." you said with a low tone as his expression, remains the same. he didn't reply which urges you to speak up again, but instead with a question.

"i thought you hated me." tears formed in your eyes once again, as you brought up the sensitive topic. "i don't understand why you came back. you're trying to mess around with me, aren't you?" tears begin to escape your eyes, as jungkook stares at you blankly.

"get inside, we'll talk about this privately." he spoke but you refused.

"jungkook no, i want to go home." you say and turn on your heel, and approach the elevator once again. however, once you pressed the button, you feel as a hand wrapped around your forearm and pulled you closer towards his figure.

effortlessly, jungkook slightly bent down and picks up your figure. gasping during his actions, the man carried you over his shoulder, as you kick your legs pleading for him to release you, from his tight hold.

"you bastard!" you shout. "let me go!"

stubbornly, jungkook didn't take your demand into consideration but instead, the man carries you into his penthouse, and finally brought your body down from his shoulders.
