The Heartbreaker's Heart Stealer (COMPLETED)

21: She's Confused

"Doesn't he know he's at fault?", I muttered as I looked at his name on my phone screen. "Come on...", I said as I turned around and saw someone was opening the back door.

I clearly saw who it is so I called his name out while pushing the door open stopping him from running away.

"Jungkook.", I said before realizing that no one else is at the kitchen. Only me and him. "Why did you open the door?", I asked him.

He turned around and gave a smile at me while trying to act normal. I know he saw me at the back.

"I...was about to leave. But, I wanted to see you first.", he replied to me which made me a bit confused.

"You wanted to see me? Why? What do you want to talk about, Jungkook?", I asked him as I think if there is anything important we need to talk about with each other.

He looked at his watch briefly before he pointed to the back door behind me.

"Can we talk outside?", he asked while standing still at where he is right now.

He confused me more but I went along with him. I got out of the bakery and he followed me before he closed the door behind us. He looked at me before he stopped three steps away from me. He looked like to be careful not to get too close with me. It feels weird.

"Yah, what is it that you want to talk about with me?", I asked him, getting eager to know what topic he is going to start now.

He gave a glance at me before chuckling. This is weirder, I'd say.

"Can you not sound like you're mad at me?", he asked.

I looked away and think of the way I talk to him just now. I sounded mad, yes. But, not to him.

"I'm sorry.", I replied to him.

"Are you okay?", he asked me.

"Yeah.", I lied definitely.

He scoffed at me.

"You don't sound okay though.", he said. "Don't scold me but I guess you had a bad day yesterday, is it?", he continued with a question to me.

"No, my days are good..."

"Not yesterday. You came here a bit late than you usually do. And you came with shades on today. Your eyes are puffy because you cried, is it?", he cut me off and tried to make me admit that I had a bad day yesterday.

Listening to his words, I sighed and took my shades away revealing how my eyes look to him.

"I think it's better than in the morning.", I said as I indirectly admitted that I had a bad day yesterday.

"Want to tell me what happened? I'm not going to force you if you don't want to. Just if you need someone to ease your mind, I'm here. All ears for you.", Jungkook told me as I looked at him with sad eyes.

I took a glance at my phone before I tell him, "He told me he'd take me to dinner last night but he ended up telling me he's busy and will only fetch me home after work. He came quite late and I was a bit mad at him. I don't know what's wrong with him last night. Usually when I get mad, he will try to comfort me back. But, last night...he just raised his voice to me saying that I don't understand him. I told him not to get too angry but he went on to scold me. I just...I can't believe he's showing me his old self again."

Jungkook stayed quiet beside me. What is he thinking?

"You still doesn't forgive him?", he asked after a while.

"Forgive him? He doesn't even call me yet. At least, he should call and admit he's at fault. I'm going to forgive him then.", I replied.

"Why don't you call him instead?", Jungkook said in which makes me shaking my head.

I am not the one at fault. Jaehyun is.

"That will make me look desperate, don't you think?", I asked him back. I did not know why but I feel like I can talk to him about this thing. Even though he is not someone closest to me, I think I can be open with him.

"If you think it will make you look desperate, don't  let it get to your head so much. You look unfocused today, Chae. Maybe you need a break. Stay home and do nothing. Try that.", he suggested but I chuckled at it.

"Stay home and do nothing? If I stay home, I will just keep thinking of Jaehyun all day. Not good too, you know?", I disagreed with his suggestion for me. I cannot stay home and do nothing. I love my work.

He nodded and said, "Then, take me home with you. I mean...I'll keep you company and keep you busy from thinking of him."

I felt weird of his words but I just laughed it off when he smiled at me. He said that he was just joking but I can see his smile faded away as he looked away from me. It faded away very fast.

"You keep me company and then, Jaehyun comes and finds you in my house. He will punch you in the face, Jungkook.", I told him as I laughed, trying to keep the joke going on in our conversation.

"I'll punch him back. If you let me.", he replied with a laugh too.

I hit his elbow as I told him not to ruin Jaehyun's handsome face. He laughed even more before proudly praising his face to be more handsome than Jaehyun's. I hit him again but now at his shoulder.

"I'll pretend I don't hear that, Jungkook. You're so full of yourself.", I said to him as he smirked at me.

"I'm just trying.", he said but I did not understand what he meant. "I'm trying to cheer you up. You always do that when I'm down. I wish I can do the same.", he told me after I asked what he meant by 'I'm just trying '.

"I did it, right?", he asked me with his wide smile that made him looked like a happy little kid.

I smiled back before I nodded. "You did it.", I said to him.

He clapped his hands in happiness. Very childish.

"Stop that. You didn't do anything big though.", I jokingly try to annoy him.

"I made you feel better. I cheered you up. That's big for me.", he said as he pinched my cheeks playfully.

I crossed my arms and nodded to him. "Thanks, Jungkook. You better go home now. I can't stand you being proud of yourself for small things you did.", I said as I wear my shades back and pushed him to get back inside the bakery. However, he stopped me as I was about to open the back door.

"You don't need the shades. You look better now.", he said as he takes off my shades and put it on my hand. "Trust me. They will not question you anything about your eyes.", he added before he opened the back door for us to get inside the bakery back.

"I'm going home now. I'll see you tomorrow, Chaeyoung.", he said before he waved goodbye at me and went to the front.

I stood still near the counter as I recalled what he did outside. He listened to me and he tried to cheer me up. Without knowing, I smiled thinking of his simple efforts to make me feel better. But then, I realized something.

"Jungkook, you shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't be thinking about you.", I whispered to myself.

❤❤❤

Can Jungkook win Chaeyoung's heart now? 😏
