Jungkook sat on the couch comfortably while savoring the pile of different flavors of ice-creams.

He was not able to cease his mind from thinking about what Areum said the other day.

At the end of the reunion party, Areum held his hand and stopped him.

"I don't know about the past Jungkook, but I don't want to regret anything in my life. Can we be friends, again?" Areum said, looking at him right into his eyes.

"Friends?" Jungkook was taken aback as something within him wanted her to speak something else.

He nodded politely at her, and they exchanged their new numbers. There was a time when their number was on each other's priority list, when now they were getting familiar with the changed ones.

Jungkook's mind revolved around the darkness with his closed eyes and shot them open.

Even I don't want to have any regrets. Worst comes to the worst, she would reject me? She would never talk to me again? We would come back to the same situation we were, just before the reunion party?

These thoughts clouded his mind, but he had decided what he wanted to do.

Just as his confidence touched the peak, a notification brought him back to the ground.

Jungkook had made his mind of telling her the truth, the truth he always wanted to tell her, even on the last day when she left abruptly, and they couldn't talk ever after that. The truth untold.

It was now or never.
