No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 5: Letting Go

He nodded his head in reply.

I smiled, shrugging off the thoughts that were troubling me. Maybe enjoying the moment was something that I should care more about. I shut my eyes, hearing the echoes of Bora's voice in my mind.

"You have one option of continuing this fake relationship without telling him that you're in love with him, or another option of stopping this fake relationship by telling him that you're in love with him."

"If I were you, I would pick your poison as soon as possible, before things get worse, before you fall deeper in love with him. I'm just trying to prevent you from getting hurt."

I opened my eyes, sucking in a huge pocket of air. Maybe falling in love did mean that you would get hurt in the end. But I was no expert in love, no matter how much Jungkook told me that.

I'm falling deeper in love with Jungkook, and I was bound to get hurt.

Present Time

(Seoyeon's POV)

"So.. were you guys together?" Chanwoo asked and I looked up at him.

I shook my head, shutting my eyes. "I was never in a relationship with him."

He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, folding his arms as he sat down beside me. I placed my head on his shoulder, feeling the tears form in the brim of my eyes.

"But why do you look so hurt after seeing him?" He questioned me and I sighed.

"We were in a fake relationship," I whispered. "I did it to help him get his ex back, but I guess fate had it's own plans."

"You fell in love with him?" I nodded my head and he sighed, fiddling with his fingers.

I placed my head back onto the walls of the kitchen. I let out a huge sigh of frustration as he stood back up into his feet. He took out a cupcake from one of the ovens and handed it towards me.

"Take it, you need it." He insisted as I took it and frustratingly shoved it into my mouth.

I smiled and chewed on the cupcake, "thank you."

He continued back with his work and I stood back onto my feet. I looked ahead to see Chanwoo standing a few metres away from me. "No wonder you never fell in love with me."

My eyes widened and I stopped in my tracks. I looked at Chanwoo who still had his back facing towards me, and I felt myself weaken at how he looked.

He looked just like me when I got my heart broken by Jungkook.

I bit my lip as he turned around. I pursed my lips into a line as I looked at his pained expression.

He really did look just like me. I guess this is how I looked when I got my heart broken.. by Jungkook. But did Jungkook feel the same way I felt right now when he broke me?

"I-I'm so sorry, Chanwoo." I whispered, covering my mouth with my hands. "I'm sorry."

Past - A year ago... (Last month in fake relationship)

(Narrator's POV)

They were sitting in front of the pier on a cold winter night, watching the frozen waters. It was a beautiful sight, especially seeing the stars twinkle underneath the moonlight. The lights emitting from the buildings gave it an extra visual to the perfect scenery.

It was the night of Christmas Eve and everywhere you could find tons of people rushing from store to store to get last minute presents. Some people were meeting the love of their life and spending the Christmas Eve at the pier. Some people were a hopeless romantic, walking down the city of Seoul all alone.
