Chapter 23: Lonely

"EUN MII!"

I face-palmed myself when I saw the door creaking opened for the last time.

"Eun Mi! Are you okay?!"
He leaped forward and stood me up, scanning my whole body.

"Jungkook, I'm perfectly fine!"
Rolling my eyes, I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him away.

He smiled and chuckled softly.
"Thank the mother of the gods you're safe."

"Hey Kookie!"
Yoongi and Jungkook fist-bumped each other.

"Kookie?.."
A snort came out of my mouth as I mumbled.

Unfortunately, Jungkook heard me. He "punched" me "hardly" on the cheeks and pursed his lips.

"Yah!"

I gasped sarcastically as I touched the spot where he just "punched" me.
"You did not just.."
I looked at him.

"Oh I just did."
His lips curved into a smirk.

"Aright. Enough of the dramas. Let's go home to eat now. Taehyung and Yoongi, you should come too. There's enough for all of us."
__
Dead silence... Not really dead but like.. No one was talking. There was just the sounds of spoons and forks clacking together.

I was sitting across from Ahjussi. I still don't know his name yet.

I kept my head low and I didn't even look at him for a second. I don't know how and what to feel.

Angry?
Sad?
Disappointed?
Shocked?

I wasn't eating either. I was just holding my fork and biting my lips. My head still hanging down.

"Eun Mi-ah, eat up."
Jungkook nudged my elbows as he looked at me worriedly.

"..."
No words came out of my mouth.

"Eun Mi, dear, please eat something at least."
My mum spoke up.

"I'm.. Not h-hungry.."
I whispered but loud enough for everyone to hear in my cracked and shaky voice.

Jungkook cleared his throat and sighed.
He scooped up a spoonful of rice and placed it in front of me.

•Jungkook's POV•
My eyes softened and my heart ached, seeing her like this.

I know she wouldn't forgive Mr Lee or.. her father for what he has done. Or maybe she will?

I don't know.. Women are complicated creatures..
Just saying.

"Baby, eat up please?"
I put on my puppy eyes and looked at her lifeless and sad chocolate ones.

She didn't say anything nor looked at me.
She just kept her head down.

"Lee Eun Mi."
I said firmly, already getting sick of her attitude.

I know she's not feeling so good but she still has to eat. She can't just starve herself because of someone. That's just stupid.

Her head shot up and our eyes met. She knows that I'm serious whenever I called her full name.

"I.. I'll eat later."
She stood up and was about to leave but I took hold of her arm and sat her down again.

"Jung-"

I took this chance to put the spoon of rice into her mouth as she shot me a death glare.

"Shh. Just eat."
A smile formed on my face when I saw her grinning too.

"It's delicious."
She whispered with a smile.

"It's just plain rice. I bet everything is delicious for you."
I chuckled, placing my hand on her burning cheeks and caressed them gently.

Then again, the silence came.

But soon enough, Mrs Song or should I say.. Mrs Lee cut off the silence.

"S-So! Uh.. Eun Mi, we need to speak to you, after you're done eating.. About him.. "
She eyed at Mr Lee and continued.
"I'm sure you have lots of questions lingering in your head but you'll have all the answers later."

Eun Mi slowly nodded as she ate another spoon of rice.

•Eun Mi's POV•
"Well welcome back to my stuffy room Mr Jeon."
I said in sarcasm and threw myself on to my fluffy and bouncy bed.

I grabbed my pillow and hugged it tightly, closing my eyes.

"So you love that pillow more than me now?"
Jungkook whined like a child, planting himself beside me.

He placed his elbow on my bed and rested his head on his hand as he faced me.

"Exactly."
Snuggling my head into the pillow, I opened my eyes and giggled cheekily at the frowning Jungkook.

"Can I ask you something?"
He questioned as he straightened his back.

I hummed in response, twirling my hair with my fingers.

"How much do you love me?"
He pulled me closer by my waist and his face buried into my neck.

I didn't know how to answer him. I'm afraid that if I say anything wrong, he'll get hurt. And if he's hurt, it'll break me apart too.

"Jungkook.. W-We're not even.. dating.."
I placed my hand on his chest and pushed him away.

His lips parted and his eyes softened. His breathing went irregular.

"W-What? What do you mean?"
A tear escaped his puffy eyes as he sat up.

I sat up as well and looked down, biting my lips.
"I thought we were j-just.. close f-friends.. that just did some stuff together.."

"Just close friends?"
His voice cracked.
"After everything I did for you? After everything we've done together? You thought that we were just close friends?"

He wiped his tears away with the back of his hand and turned away from me. A heavy sigh escaped his mouth as he ran his fingers through his hair.

"Jungkook.. That's not what I mean.. I just.."
I placed my hand on his shoulder but he pushed me away and got on to his feet.

"I'll see you at Uni tomorrow."
With that, he left me alone before throwing me one last glare.

I feel so lonely... I'm all alone again...

That's the moment when I realised, I fucked up...

•=•=•=•=•
A/N: I bet y'all are expecting some lovey scenes but I kinda twisted everything.. If you don't know what "Uni" is, it's short form for University 😂 Because when I first read "Uni" at another book,  I thought that it was Unicorn... 😂 Fml
