"That's what I am? That's what you've come to know after all these days? Just say you regret dating me and go!"

"That's correct," He glared at me, his hands balling into fists and I could already see that he was going to regret what he was gonna say. I knew I was gonna regret everything.

"I regret dating you! I was so fucking stupid to have actually liked someone like you!"

The door banged and he was gone. Right after those words. He didn't even look at my face. Probably because he knew that he'd see me crying then.

We didn't talk for several more days and like the fool I am, I again was the one who said sorry first.

Day 826 of dating

"I'm sorry Tori, but I think it's best for
the both of us," Jungkook explained l
but I didn't couldn't believe my ears.

He was saying what? That we should break up? Take a what? A fucking break? Was he serious?

"I-I don't understand," But the frantic angry thoughts that were running in my head didn't match my voice. My voice was feeble, scared and weak. But he didn't seem to notice that.

"It's just," He roughly ran his hand through his hair, exposing his forehead,"It's just that we need to get ourselves straight first before delving into a relationship like this. Everything's going wrong, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that. I did so many things wrong, I did you wrong. I can't repeat those things again."

I took a step towards him," But - but he figured it out right? At the end of the day we were back to normal. So what are you talking about?"

Jungkook looked at me, and I pursed my lips because I knew what that look meant. He wasn't gonna turn back to his decisions, he clearly thought it all out.

" You'll understand after we take a break. We need this, you need this. J promise you after this we'll be back stronger. But please, I need some time."

He took my hands, squeezing them lightly and I couldn't help but nod.

He had his mind made, what could I do to change it?

Not to mention how a part of me wanted to be the first one to suggest this.

Present day

I looked at Jimin nervously, my eyes carefully analyzing his face to see any hint of surprise or disgust.

Because that's what I was doing now, I was being disgusting. Disgusting as a person, disgusting as a friend, even disgusting as a stranger.

But this probably was the truest thing I did after a while. A thing I did meaningfully, not as a responsibility, but according to my wish.

Jimin stared at me for some time, but he didn't show any sign of shock or surprise. He was just blankly staring, as if trying to figure if it was a joke.

"I'm not joking," I said, just to be sure and he burst out laughing.

Now, it was my turn to stare at him as he lost his voice laughing. If it was to be an other situation, I would've laughed along with him and thought he was cute but it wasn't a situation like that.

He kept laughing, even choked on it, and then proceeded to grab the glass present on the table as he poured himself some water.

He kept coughing, calming down after he drank the water and then heaved a big sigh.

All this while, I blankly stared at him, waiting him to finish. I couldn't figure if it was this funny, either it was too predictable or it was at that level of shock.

Jimin still managed to throw another chuckle before he finally looked at me, "I believe you didn't even think this through."

"I didn't," I answered honestly, "I'm working on instinct."

Jimin's face held a small smile, the kind of smile that looked as if he's mocking me, and dug his shoulders onto the table. His chin rested on his knuckles and then he looked at me.

"It might seem wild and all, but you Tori," He said, "aren't wild. You work slowly but steadily. So think this through again. Complete a chapter before you start one again. Or it might be dangerous."

He stood up, his chair moving back as he wore his coat and then proceeded to walk by me.

"So you don't like me?" I looked at my hands which were clutching my jacket tightly.

He stopped, and after a second I could hear him backtrack his way towards me.

My chair got dragged back, a sharp screech sound filling the air and got turned around to face the other side.

Jimin was sitting on his toes, his eyes big and intent as they stared at me.

"I like you a lot Tori. So much that walking away right now is physically hurting me. But I have to, we can't turn this into a villain story, we can't hurt someone else to chase our happy endings. That's wrong."

He took my hands, rubbing our palms together. His were warm.

"Think this through again. Make your mind and complete the chapter. I promise I won't judge you."

JINAH'S POV

I watched Namjoon breath in and prepare himself to enter the stage. The second round was today and me and Jin were standing backstage as we waited for him to move in and the show to start.

I've never seen Namjoon nervous before, and now he was frantically jogging as if getting sweaty and tired could get him to be less nervous.

Contrary to my blank expression, Jin was actually chuckling at Namjoon's antics as he threw him a thumbs up.

The hosts came on stage and announced the names of the students participating. Namjoon breathed in heavily and entered the stage, it was him against Choi Soobin.

Soobin looked quite young, but having known myself I didn't underestimate him. I still hoped Namjoon would win though.

Jin nudged me, pointing towards the audience where the rest were sitting and waiting for us.

I nodded, but then stopped him as I remembered the question that had been bugging me since the past few days.

"Are you two dating?" I asked and I watch Jin's face shrink.

"Who do you mean?"

"You know who," I raised my eyebrows meaningfully and he chuckled stupidly, "I'm not dating Voldemort."

I pressed my lips together, so he wasn't gonna say it.

"Nothing leave it."

A/n: Important question, ya'll think I should add the Namjoon debating part too? It's hard to think of topics but I also don't wanna leave a part out :(
