No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 8: Haeun

I didn't even bother to go to the cafe to buy a drink knowing that Jungkook would be there.

I didn't even bother passing the pier because I knew Jungkook could've been there as well.

I didn't even bother passing by the side in which his office is located, I could bump into him.

I was almost home, the condo a few metres away from me. It was almost dark outside, but it still felt safe. Rushing over to the condo as fast as I could, I looked left and right to make sure there were no suspicious kidnappers or rapists or someone of some sort. The silence was a bit eery, but I felt like it was as if though the silence was normal—

"Eep!" I screeched, being tugged to the side of condominium into a dark alley.

I felt an arm wrap around my waist and a hand cover my mouth as I was being dragged away into a dark alley without being heard because of my muffled screams. I bit the man's hand, and he let out a loud yelp.

My face went blank, and I took the man's arm and attempted to twist it. The yelp sounded so familiar that I could guess who it came from in a large crowd of people. I raised an eyebrow as I turned around to see none other than.. Jungkook.

"You know, if you were going to kidnap me, you should be stronger than that." I rolled my eyes, taking off my hood to get some air flowing into me.

"But doing this was the only way to talk to you," he mumbled, and I placed a hand on my hip. "Can we talk?"

"We are talking," I muttered as he pursed his lips into a line.

"Are you avoiding me?" He asked and I looked away from him, trying to avoid the stare he was giving me. "Because if you are, I pretty much got the goddamn message for a week now."

"Does it matter to you, Jungkook?" I questioned him as I advanced towards him. "Why do you suddenly assume that I'm avoiding you? What if I'm not?"

"I know how you act, Seoyeon." He replied. "You're surprisingly quiet for the past week, you haven't been replying to my texts, and whenever I come for a visit to your shop, I end up only seeing you behind that stupid door that leads to your kitchen."

"What if I am avoiding you?" He let out a sigh as I shook my head.

"Why?" He asked. "Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong?"

"You kissed me," I replied softly. "That's what's wrong."

"Come on now, just because I kissed you doesn't mean the true reason as to why you're avoiding the shit out of me." Jungkook cussed. "Do you know how worried I was about you?"

"You wanna know what's really wrong?" I spat as he winced at my tone. "I fell in love with you, that's what's wrong, Jungkook."

"But Seoyeon, I'm in love with you too—" He looked extremely confused.

"I fell in love with you, Jungkook." I repeated. "What's wrong is that I fell in love with you, told you that I'm in love with you, let you go, tried to move on, and after a year you come back telling me that you're in love with me as if nothing had happened."

"I don't know what you're trying to say—"

"What I'm trying to say is that after a year of trying to move on, you come back telling me that you love me, and all the time of trying to move on from you has gone to waste." I explained. "You're making me so confused with myself, Jungkook."

"Are you listening to yourself?" He whispered. "I'm deeply in love with you, Seoyeon. When will you understand that?"

"No, Jungkook." I whispered. "When will you understand that? Are you sure you're in love with me?"
