"Why Jungkook...? Am I not allowed in here anymore...?! Huh...?!" "I said stop it...!"

I almost jumped when I heard him shout... no... this shouldn't be happening... I never asked for any of this to happen... I only asked for a little happiness... I never wanted to ruin someone else's relationship... and now I can't help but to blame myself...I know I'm getting in between them...

I saw the surprise in Tzuyu's face... and it pricked my insides when I see the tears that escaped her eyes... it brings back the memories of the day I almost break in front of everyone... being in the lowest point in front of 'him'... I know how painful it is... but why am I only thinking of this right now... it's all too late to even care about how she feels...

She then turned to me while all I could do is to just stand there, having my breath still caught up in my throat... I saw the tears that continuously streamed down her cheeks... what have I done...? "Are you happy now..?"

Tzuyu's voice was shaking... she turned to Jungkook as she wiped off her tears, throwing him a glare before she stormed out of the mansion...

The two stood there for a while... both stiffened on their spot after what happened... Jungkook was surprised as to how he had reacted... never did he raise his voice to Tzuyu before...and now he wanted to slap himself for doing it and upon seeing the look on his lover's face almost broke his heart...

Rosé was no far from her husband's state... confused as to what's happening and wishing that's it's only just a nightmare for both of them...

Her lips parted... numbness took over her as she continuously gazed at her husband's back... after a while, Jungkook stirred from his spot and gaze landed to where Tzuyu ran... Rosé followed his gaze before she turned it back to Jungkook...

"Ju... Jungkook... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to-..." "It's not your fault..."

He immediately cut her off as he faced her... but even though he said that, it still didn't lessen the guilt inside of her... seeing the clear agony in his face, hearing that cold voice from him once again... how could she think that she's not at fault... hearing his lover said those words to her earlier, how could she think that she's not a nuisance between them...?

She slightly bit her lower lip... brows curved upon seeing that he couldn't even look at her straight...

'Im sorry...'

She kept repeating inside her mind... hoping that he would hear her pleads to be forgiven...

Finally, he looked up... their eyes managed to meet each other for a while before he looked away first... she heard him sighed before he spoke...

"Really... it's not your fault... don't think about it... I'm sorry if she acted that way..."

The coldness in his voice was far from being heard now as he looked at her with an apologetic look on his face...

She managed to curve out a slight smile... for she couldn't do anything aside from that as of the moment... she saw him looked towards the entrance of the mansion once again before looking back to her wearing a hesitating expression on his face...
