2) many of you have been commenting on the last chapter and giving their opinion on whether it was right that Y/N kissed Jimin or not and I wanted to say a few words about that.

It's true, Jungkook and Y/N both have made mistakes and they both got hurt, too. I'm not going to justify the kiss, because it was wrong. But if you go more into the detail of how Y/N feels or has been feeling throughout the past few months, one might understand why she did it.

Y/N is extremely hurt and disappointed in Jungkook who left without a word after they were intimate and, on top of that it was her first time.

On the one hand, Jimin has been nothing but a good friend to her and never even once hurt her. After all she has gone through because of the way she feels towards Jungkook, she's searching for a stable, loving and trustful relationship. Jimin has been a constancy in her life meanwhile everything seems to fall apart around her.

Jungkook, on the other hand, is dishonest, secretive and keeping important details from her. She doesn't know why he hates Jimin so much and he doesn't give her a chance to understand why he has ill feelings towards Jimin.

So, I personally can understand why Y/N acted the way she did. The right way would have been to talk it out with Jungkook, but I know from my own experience that it's not always that easy.

Plus, you're free to have your own opinion on this, of course!

Now let's continue where we stopped...

His plump lips felt so soft and tender against mine. It was so precious that I didn't dare to move too much. The kiss didn't last long, but long enough to wake up the butterflies in my stomach.

When he pulled away he rested his hand a little longer on my cheek and then stroked it gently before putting it down.

"So, did you like your birthday present?", he asked with a sheepish smile on his lips. I nodded eagerly and ignored the way my cheeks flushed.

"It was amazing. Thank you", I said smiling at him.

"Well, then let's wrap this up and bring you home", he said starting to stow away the food, "you must be exhausted."

As soon as he said those four words I felt my body getting limp. My back hurt and my muscles were strained. Jungkook made his way back into my thoughts and I let out a deep sigh.

What have I done?

Did I just cheat on him?

Practically, we weren't a couple so no, but we do have something going on. Should I tell Jimin?

I threw a short glance at his ethereal side profile, how his face and jaw were completely relaxed, his eyes focused on what he was doing.
