No Strings Attached (Jungkook x OC)

Part 10: I Love You, Goodbye.

She sighed, entering into the cupcake shop and settling all her things down to open the envelope. She pried it open, and it revealed a small card that had a butterfly drawn on the corner of it.

Will you stay by my side?

Will you promise me?

I'm afraid that if I let go of your hand,

You'll fly away, you'll shatter

Butterfly, like a butterfly

-A hopeless romantic

Her heart fluttered at the note, and she scrambled through her bag to pull out the other notes and the single photo that this hopeless romantic had given to her.

Funny how she didn't even notice Jungkook leaning against a lamp post across the street, a smile starting to form on his lips.

He took off his shades, his large beanie that covered his hair, and everything that hid his identity.

Heading towards the cupcake shop, he opened the door and almost immediately, Seoyeon hid all the letters behind her back. He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion, and she let out a nervous chuckle.

"You're here.. pretty early." She chuckled, scratching the back of her neck.

"What are you hiding?" He asked and she sighed, giving in to show him the letters that he gave to her.

"Some letters from a hopeless romantic," she replied. "He's really sweet."

"You never know, maybe next time he'll give you flowers." He grinned, and Seoyeon shook her head, the two of them sharing a giggle.

As the two of them headed towards the cupcakes, Jungkook bumped into the corner of the table, his wallet falling to the ground. His eyes slightly widened as he saw her bend down to pick it up. He bent down and reached for it in unison, making the two of them bump foreheads.

"Ow.." She groaned in pain, her eyesight focusing on the contents that have fallen out of his wallet.

It wasn't just money and cash.. there was a plane ticket.

She furrowed her eyebrows, looking at Jungkook who was hurriedly trying to put all of his stuff back into where it came from. She felt her heart stop at the sight of the plane ticket.

His name was printed on it, and she couldn't get a hold of the date of his departure. But what she saw was that he was heading somewhere.. far from Korea.

"You're going for vacation?" She questioned him as he raised an eyebrow. "The plane ticket.. I saw it."

"Oh—uh—yeah." He stuttered, avoiding eye contact.

"Where?" She asked as he grinned.

"What's with all the questions? Are you scared that I'll leave you forever?" He teased as she pursed her lips into a line. "But the real question is.. will you miss me?"

She playfully punched his arm, and he let out a laugh to let her relax for once. "Of course I'll miss you, you idiot."

"Wait—you will?" He was caught off guard at her response and she nodded her head.

"Well, this is a vacation trip.. so I won't miss you as much." She smiled as he felt his smile falter.

"But.. what if it wasn't a vacation?" He asked as she looked at him.

She shrugged her shoulders before looking away from him, "well, I'll miss you much more than how much I'll miss you if you go on a vacation."
