I faintly register his voice saying something, but I am stuck in thought with a question ringing in my head. I look up to see Jungkook sitting opposite me, clad in all black. His hair styled to the side exposing his forehead and his tattoos clearly visible under the hoodie he wears to cover it up.

He had asked me in a quiet tone, "You still don't know why we clashed so much in the past?"

I had put it all behind, hoping and praying for peace. After multiple fights in front of people and the other members, we had gone past that to put an end to these skirmishes that disrupted everyone. I mean, who wants to be angry and upset when you have a concert to manage!

"Didn't you tell me that it was because you didn't like change and the fact that I was your manager?" I ask him.

He bites down on his lip, a sign that says he is really thinking if this conversation is worth risking things. So, instead of continuing what he started, he mutters that he has packing to do and gets up. 

Today was the last day of the world tour and we are finally going back to South Korea, so obviously there must be a lot to do.

I follow him, to see him out the door, when he stops midway. With both hands interlocked behind his neck and head bowed down, he contemplates something. I wait patiently as I have learnt it's a Jungkook thing. But I am hoping he bolts out the door rather than address this invisible tension that we have.

He slowly turns towards me, with lips pressed into a thin line and eyes glassy, "I like you."

I mutter an okay, waiting for more to come but he certainly doesn't seem pleased with my reply.

"Anu, I think I have been in love with you for the past several months." His gaze is dead set on me, and I visibly crumble in front of him.

WHAT?! Love? How-what-this does not make sense! Several months? When-? I pinch my eyes close because the world is spinning out of control right before me.

"I don't-" I clear my throat and try again, "I don't understand..."

"What part of this don't you understand?" He retorts, sharply.

All I really want is for him to says he's kidding, as I don't like confrontations, but his expressions give it away that he's damn serious.

"Jungkook-" I have no idea what to say. I mean, what should you say to someone who's world famous with a million girls ready to stand where I am now? But I guess he knows this, too.

"Our friendship started to fall out because I didn't want us to get along anymore. Since I started liking you, I always brushed it off as a crush, thinking it would fade away later. But then you were everywhere!" He sighs. "This caused me to burst out every time you tried coming even closer." 

He has stopped looking at me now, the hallway is more visually appealing to him.

"Jungkook, I can't—I can't do this." Is what I end up saying.

Now, you probably would have jumped at this opportunity. But, again, you really haven't seen this world as closely as I have. Getting involved with such things is risking it all. And more than me, it's Jungkook who shall bear the brunt and I cannot stand that.

But to understand this better, I need to take you to the very beginning when it all started and how I ended up here. So, shall we?
