"Y/n, Jungkook is here to see you." Her mother said. Y/n took a deep breath. She was not expecting to see Jungkook again. She went out of her room, he was waiting outside her house.
"Y/n, don't you think we should get back-"
"Jungkook," She interrupted him. "We really can't right now. I don't think I was even ready for a relationship. I think it's better if we give each other some time."
His breath got shaky, he took a deep sigh. "I was going back, I still think we are perfect, I wanted to see you. I was hoping we would clear the misunderstanding between us."
"Best of luck, you should focus on your career right now, and I should focus on mine and myself." She is not being selfish, she truly realizes that she needs to focus on herself and fix her problem with her body and her. Otherwise she can't build a relationship with anyone, not even with Jungkook.
"I will wait, whenever you feel comfortable and want to come back to me." He said.
"No, I don't want you to wait, that would put too much pressure on me and make me feel guilty." She said, He nodded his head sadly. She doesn't even want him to wait, she must have already moved on Jeongguk but doesn't want to tell Jungkook.
He moved closer to hug her, she let him hug her. Jungkook took a deep breath, "I still want to wait."
"Stop being sad over someone like me, you will become a famous footballer and find so many girls that you will not even remember me." Y/n said.
"No chance." He will never forget her. "If we both can't move on, let's be together again. When We both have achieved our goals."
She didn't reply. She is not sure if she will be able to achieve her goals or he would actually wait for her.

3 years later,
She heard loud cheering, a match was playing on the TV. Korea Vs Japan football match, as much as Y/n wants to avoid it she can't. It is literally playing on every TV in the whole Korea everywhere she goes the match is playing. She can't escape it.
"Noona Jungkook got a free kick!" Her brother told her.
"So? I am not interested in sports. You know that." She said and decided to go to her room. She locked up her room.
She opened her laptop, she lied. She hasn't missed a single match since Jungkook joined the team. Now she knows everything there is to know about football.
She stared at the live match, Jungkook has become a really famous footballer in just three years she doubts he would be even waiting for Y/n. But she doesn't care anymore, she still wants to support him.
They were showing his back, she could see his jersey number 97, then she got to see the front footage. Which age he kept becoming more and more handsome. No doubt he has such a large fandom and so many brand deals.
She could feel her hands sweating, while her eyes were stuck on the screen. She made fun of her father all her life for taking football matches so seriously. And here she felt like her heart would stop.
He was about to kick, someone knocked on her door and she quickly shut the laptop and sat up, properly.
"Y/n," She heard Jeongguk say.
"One minute." She replied and got up from her bed. She opened her drawer and it was filled with many artworks of Jungkook. He always complained why she never drew him, and after he was not with her all she did was drawing him. She put her laptop in it and closed the drawer.
She saw Jungkook's jersey on the floor, she quickly picked it up and hid it under her bed.
She opened the door. "You took so much time to Open," Jeongguk said. He and Y/n are really close now, but has friends only.
Y/n was breathing heavily. "Oh nothing, I was writing some recipes."
"You sure? You look like I have caught you watching p*rns." He said.
"Eww, no." She rolled her eyes.
"I can check your watch history even if you delete it." He said.
"Stop using your hacking skills on invading my privacy."
He put his hand over her shoulder, "I will not if you cook me some pasta!"
"How can you eat pasta that many times? How is it even possible?" Y/n let him taste everything she cooks. Jeongguk loved her pasta recipe so much that since the last few weeks, he kept coming to her almost everyday, asking her to cook it for him.
He started pulling her downstairs. "Really? I am tired of cooking the same thing, I know a new recipe, how about I make that for you?"
He shook his head, he brought her to the kitchen, Y/n sneaked a look at TV. And it looks like Korea has won. She smiled and sat in front of Kitchen counter. "I don't think there will be ingredients available right now."
"I came prepared." He said, she looked at the grocery bags and really he came prepared. Jeongguk put his head over shoulder. " Just cook for me baby."
He mumbled in her ear. He is clingy to her sometimes. She looked at him.
She stared at Jeongguk's face. Jeongguk has black hair now, but sometimes she forgets that it's Jeongguk not Jungkook. She ran her hair through his hair. "Dye your hair."
He messed up his black hair, "I like my natural color."
"I don't." She lied. She just doesn't like that. She sometimes feels like she is with Jungkook because of that. Jeongguk was about to say something, Y/n give with some onion. "Start working, you will help me today."
"As you say wifey." Jeongguk said and started peeling the Onion. It's a joke, he calls her wifey to irritate her whenever she is cooking, saying she would be a really good wife.
___
Jungkook was back home after his match, it has been two days since he is back, he could hear voices coming from the kitchen. He didn't look up, he ignored the voices and went to his room.
He knows it's Jeongguk and Y/n. It would be too painful for him to even look at her. He hasn't moved on, he tries too. And he tries to keep himself busy with practice and work. But her thoughts never leave his mind. He thinks she is dating Jeongguk now.
"Yah, You need to stop this now. You are just wasting your eyes." Y/n said. She was at Jeongguk's house. It's common for her to hang out with him at his house.
Jeongguk was trying to crack an egg with one, and he could break the yolk. "It's so cool when you break it with one hand. I want to learn it too,"
"23 eggs, you wasted 23 eggs." She said,
"It's fine, my wifey can use these 23 eggs for a recipe, I have one more left." He picked up the last egg of the carton. And tried to crack it in a bowl and it broke too.
Y/n sighed. "Thank god the eggs are finished, now you will stop. Your mom will scold you if she sees this mess."
"How about we buy some more? I don't give up." He said while wearing his jacket. Y/n hold his arm.
"No! Please no! I am bored of it." She said, he chuckled at her whiny tone and pout.
"Fine." He sighed. "Now what to do with these?" He said while holding the huge bowl which had all the eggs in it.
"Right now hide it before your mom sees it." She said, "You don't need to be good at this."
"I want to." He pouted now.
"I will teach you if you teach me gaming." She said because she knows otherwise Jeongguk will not leave her alone.
"Fine, let's go." He put his arm over her shoulder. And they went to his room.
And it was a disaster, because Y/n doesn't even know how to use a mouse. He tried to teach her but he was getting frustrated now.
"No! You are dropping my ranking!"
He held his head. "How can someone be this bad at gaming?"
"What did you say? You are worse at cooking." She laughed, Jeongguk always irritates her by asking her how to cook different recipes. And this time she was irritating him by playing games and asking how to cook.
"Get up," He told her to stand up from his gaming chair. She did, he sat on the chair and made her sit on his lap. Y/n was about to get up but he held her. "Let me teach you properly how to play."

It was dinner time, Jungkook came to the kitchen and saw his mom reheating the dinner. He asked, "Do you want any help?"
He wanted to distract himself. He could hear Y/n and Jeongguk while he was in his room.
"No, there is no need, honey. Just go call Jeongguk and Y/n for dinner." His mother said. Jungkook didn't move. She is still here? He doesn't feel comfortable. His mother looked at him. "Go, how long are you gonna avoid each other?"
"We are not avoiding each other." He replied. They are kinda, Y/n doesn't visit their home when Jungkook is home. He is mostly busy with his training and matches.
"Go call them. I need to clean the mess they created in the kitchen too." She said.
Jungkook went to Jeongguk's room. He was about to knock on the door, he heard their voices, they were laughing. They are so happy with each other. She never laughed like that with Jungkook. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Jeongguk said. Jungkook opened the door, Y/n was sitting on Jeongguk's lap while playing a game.
"See! Yes! I won!" She said excitedly and then finally noticed Jungkook at the door. She was about to get up from his lap but Jeongguk was holding her waist.
"What happened?" Jeongguk asked.
"Dinner is ready. Mom is calling you both." Jungkook said without looking at Y/n and left.
"Why didn't you tell me he was here?" Y/n asked Jeongguk.
"If I had you wouldn't agree to hang out with me. And I really wanted to. Let's go, wifey dinner is ready." He kissed her shoulder.
They went to the dining table, Jeongguk pulled out a chair for Y/n, there was no other seat, she either had to sit in front of Jungkook or beside him. She decided to take a seat In Front of him.
Y/n's eyes fell on Jungkook's phone cover, his phone was laying on the table and in the back there was a picture of ultrasound. By the look of it she knows it was their baby that they lost because she remembers she made fun of Jungkook for keeping the ultrasound when the baby was too small so that it can't be seen in the ultrasound.
Jungkook changed phones twice in the past three years but he was still saving the ultrasound. Y/n heart sank, because suddenly she felt guilty, but maybe it was the baby that meant everything to him and not Y/n.
Jungkook stared at his meal, his hands were shaking. Y/n still has this effect on him. He thought he was doing better without her. But no, people say you will move on with time but his time is stuck.
"How's your college going? You are doing a double major. It must be a lot." Jeongguk's mother said, breaking the silence.
"It's good, I really enjoyed it!" Y/n replied.
"I can see dear, you look happier now. She said.
Jungkook noticed that too, she looked happier, more cheerful and confident. Jeongguk makes her happier, he never made her feel that way. Jungkook got sad because he believes Jeongguk is the reason behind her confidence and happiness.
But no, she focused more on herself. Now she doesn't have an eating disorder or toxic friends, and she is doing what she loves. She eventually gave a boost to her confidence.
