154. Get away

"Jimin! Calm down... I..."

"Jungkook! Seriously, how do you want me to react when you didn't tell me, tell anyone you was going out all night? Come on, with everything that's been happening lately and your mood and..." Jimin splutters down the phone as Jungkook takes a deep sigh.

You crawl up behind Jungkook on the bed and rest your chin on his shoulder as he slumps in defeat of his conversation with Jimin; "look Min I'm sorry, sorry, I should've thought but I didn't, what can I say I'm selfish... just, you're right, after everything I've been... all over the place and, I just..." he sighs again when you wrap your arms around his waist and press the softest of kisses to the skin under his ear.

"You just what? Are you with her?" Jimin quizzes; you hear the tone in his voice, as if he'd be disappointed if Jungkook really is with you. Does Jimin hate you? You wondered about how they'd really seen you after upsetting Jungkook so much.

Jungkook grabs your hands resting on his waist and squeezes them tightly, before taking in a big breath, "no, no I'm not with Y/N... I, I'm at Yug's place, sorry, I crashed here after I talked for hours to him and... sorry Min"

You don't know whether to feel grateful for Jungkook lying seeing as he said he wants to not let the others know just yet that he came to see you, or whether to feel disappointed that you're holding him close right now and he's just said he's not with you. But then that would make you even more selfish!

"I get it Kook, you've been in a mess... I just, sorry for getting mad. Are you coming home soon? We were all gunna watch a movie, chill or something?" Jimin's voice is quiet and you retract from Jungkook; slowly shifting and backing away. You don't want to cause anymore harm to any of this whole situation than you have.

"Yeah, yeah I'll be back in a bit, I'll watch a movie with you all, will be good!" Jungkook answers; his back slumping sadly as he feels your touch disappear from around him.

You run your fingers slowly and softly through his hair as he says goodbye to Jimin and then when he's hung up and slings his phone onto the bed, you let him fall back into you again.

"I'm sorry..." he says so quietly; his voice barely audible at all.

"Hey, no it's okay... I'm sorry, I caused all this and... you know, maybe you're right, for a while we shouldn't... you know, be too close again or, I don't mind when you want to tell the others about us again, we'll go at your pace this time"

Your fingertips scratch lightly at his scalp as he leans in further to your touch.

"Thank you. The only reason I didn't want to jump and tell the others was so that me and you had a chance to just, be us again, without everyone else, a little bit like when we first started... you know, to get that back" he tips his head backwards and then smiles gently.

The smile on your face grows wider and you drop a kiss to his lips; "that works for me..."

Eventually after about an hour of kissing and cuddling and basically enjoying just being the two of you for a while, Jungkook leaves, as promised, to go and spend time with the guys; he leaves on the promise that he'll make them understand that he's going to be okay and that he can ease them all back into the thoughts that you two are back on good terms again, even after everything that happened.

"Guys it's been a long week, I know you're all extra tired from the rehearsals... but the awards show performance is going to look super super great! Sung Jin told me to let you all know, you've got a long weekend to recover, to enjoy whatever you want..." Beom's voice is echoing around the practice studio and bouncing back off the walls; you're trying your best to be as small as possible on the wooden bench right at the back of the room, after being asked by Beom to watch over the last rehearsal of the day. Your eyes skimming over Jungkook too many times than they should've, but maybe no one caught you.
