That was what I wished for.
The one thing I prayed for every night before I sleep. The one thing I prayed for, at the very night before I woke up in an entirely different life.
A new life.
My second chance.

I heard Jungkook entering the house right after I finished working and while I was getting ready to prepare dinner. I was on my way to leave the study room when he appeared at the doorway.
"Jungkook, you're home early."
He stood there in the doorway, looking at me closely with a weird look on his face. "Why aren't you ready yet? We're going to be late."
"Late? For what?" I could only stare at him completely clueless, unable to understand what he was saying.
"The company dinner," he told me with a frown. "It's tonight. I told you that I need you to come with me tonight."
"No, you haven't. Are you sure it was me that you have spoken about it with?" Because I would've remembered if you ever spoke to me at all.
He seemed puzzled for a few moments, flustered by my words that he looked away. "I—Look, just get ready quickly, okay? Please?"
I kept staring at him for a moment, before deciding that it probably would be better not to argue. Nodding my head, I started to walk into our bedroom without saying anything.
"______?" I stopped and turned around to look at him, startled when I heard him calling me with a more gentle voice.
"Yes?"
He seemed unsure at first, but then he turned nervous when he asked me, "Do you still have that dress I gave you on our fifth anniversary?"
"Yes, I still keep it in our wardrobe. Why?"
"Can you please wear it for me tonight?" He asked me, smiling at me ever so gently that I could see the sincerity in his eyes. My heart instantly broke when I saw them, when all the feelings he used to be able to ignite inside me started to return to me, and I easily gave in.
"Of course. I'll wear it if you want me to."
