I knocked on Taehyung's wooden front door, stood back and waited. After nearly a minute, Taehyung finally appeared.

We both sat on the step that I'd kissed him on on Christmas Eve, but we sat a little further apart this time.

"I'm sorry." I told him. Taehyung  shrugged. "It's fine."

"No, it's not. I shouldn't have -"

"Jisoo, it's fine. It's fine." Taehyung  assured me with a smile and I sighed in relief. "Good."

"But can you answer the question honestly for me?" Taehyung asked.

"What question?" "The question of whether you kissed me because you had feelings for me or whether you kissed me because Jungkook  wasn't around." His eyes were full of apprehension and hurt and it made my heart seize.

"Taehyung , I care about you. I care about you a ridiculous amount. But honestly, I don't know."

Taehyung  nodded in acceptance of my answer. I headed to the coffee shop after I'd seen Taehyung . Jungkook  was stood behind the counter when I walked through the door.

"Where's Scott?" I snapped.

"Why?""Because I'm not staying unless Scott is serving me."

"Scott's at the gym, Jisoo, so you're going to have to deal with me. What do you want?" Jungkook  shrugged.

I sighed and headed back towards the door and out of the coffee shop and into the cold air.

"Jisoo, wait!" Jungkook  ran after me. "Fuck off, Jungkook ." I kept walking without turning around.

"Jisoo! What's your problem?" He kept following me. I stopped at this question and turned to gave him. "Are you joking? Jungkook, you just fucking left. You're an utter twat for that." I felt the emotions rise in my chest and I tried to put on a brave face, but this was a conversation I wasn't expecting to have anytime soon.

"I know." He muttered his unexpected response. I was waiting for defensiveness and yelling.

"Well, I want to know why." I stood my ground, taking a deep breath.

Jungkook  took in an equally deep breath and I was sure that this was the most vulnerable I'd ever seen him. "Jisoo, I couldn't deal with the feelings after admitting I liked you. I felt so vulnerable and so weak, I just didn't know what to do, especially when you didn't say anything back. I just... I had to get away for a little bit." We both stood staring at each other for a second. Jungkook looked like he was fighting back tears and like he'd struggled with that explanation as to why he'd left. He looked utterly vulnerable, but I couldn't push down the anger of him disappearing in the first place.

"You're a coward, Jungkook . I don't have the time for this up and down shit anymore." I walked off leaving Jungkook  in the middle of the street, and once I'd turned around, I finally let my tears fall.
