28 Days | Jungkook ✔

Lies

I shake my head. "Never. I have never dreamed or wanted that. I want you alive for a long time, Jeon Jungkook. She might look the same, but she is not the same to me in any other way."

"It took Satanic smoke that forced the truth from my father for you to also finally reveal the truth." Jungkook rubs his head. "I'm going to leave now. It's a lot to process this."

I follow him and he turns around, annoyed. "Jungkook, I can't let you go."

"Why not?"

I stand still in my tracks. Taehyung warned me from the beginning of this mission not to tell him.

Jungkook steps closer, his body towering over me. "Why can't you leave me alone? Don't lie to me again."

"B-because I'm scared you'll get hurt," I stutter.

"Why would I get hurt? Don't hide anything. I can tell when you're trying to deceive me," Jungkook glowers.

I stand still there. He turns his back from me again.

Lie, lie, lie, my brain kept saying.

But only what I truly felt sputtered through my lips.

"The reason is... I'm worried you'll die."

"Why would I die?" He asks. I'm quiet again and he sighs.

My lips begins forming the words, and I cover it with my left hand. My right hand removes my other hand so I could speak. Although my mind wanted to stay quiet, it felt like my body had a mind of its own.

I tried to fight the dark magic but I had no power to. I tried to purse my lips, but all I felt was the smoke in my lungs. It's either the truth or I die from suffocation.

Damn you, Satan.

"It's predicted you'll die tomorrow morning. That you'll kill yourself." I cough violently, finally being able to breathe.

Jungkook doesn't look surprised by what I say. "Thanks for being honest with me again. But if you follow me one more time, I will actually kill myself. Just leave me alone."

He walks away from me and heads into the dark, isolated streets.

I used to think it was me lying about the supernatural that hurt him. But now he knows the truth, I still don't know what will happen to him.

****

I'm frustrated on what action to take next. I decide to call Jin and explain my predicament.

"Jungkook told me to leave him alone, but I'm scared he will hurt himself or even worse. I don't know what to do."

"We'll visit all the Jeon hotels and Bangtan Boys bunkers and try to find him. It'd be best for you not to, though," Jin says.

"Why?"

"Mayor Jeon seems a bit... unhinged right now. You're not one of the regular people he sees working for him, so it's best for you to not go to any of his establishments. Or else Jungkook won't be the only person who can get hurt tonight."

Any of his establishments? Mayor Jeon owns half the city!

"Jungkook needs his private time. I'm sure he'll be okay," Jin assures me and finally hangs up the phone.

I walk aimlessly on the streets, stopping at different parks and hotspots and can't find Jungkook anywhere.

My phone indicates the time to be 1 AM and I grab my head, in frustration.

My body felt an incredible heaviness, and my limbs ached with every step I walked.

I have never felt this tiredness before. I have to go back to my apartment, or else I will collapse on the streets.

I think that a side effect of the magical fumes might be fatigue.

Damn you again, Satan.

I arrive at my empty apartment. My parents were working the night shift and Hyuck was at a sleepover. My parents knew I wouldn't be home, since I haven't been for the past few weeks.

I felt like I was going to pass out.

I decide to prepare some coffee so I could have energy.

Finally, I decide to text Jungkook. There wasn't much left I could do.

Y/n: I know you said not to follow you and i won't.

but i'm still worried for you..

please just go home and be safe.

I sat on the couch with my phone in my hand. In the other, I held my cup.

I winced as I sipped the coffee - it was tepid, overly bitter and lacking real cream. It was a source of caffeine though, and so I drank it anyways.

The door bell suddenly rings.

I open the door, and can't stop myself from smiling.

Jungkook's standing in front of me. "You told me to go home. There are so many properties under my name and so many places I could have gone..."

He shifts his feet, clearly nervous.

"Yet, when I think of home, all I think is you."
