Bambam's POV

Yugyeom has been treating me good this morning.

Too good.
It's almost suspicious.

For example, he came into my room this morning and provided breakfast in bed.

"Morning precious!" Yugyeom walked in with the tray. It contained an assortment of fruits with toast. There was a selection of butter or cream cheese for me to choose from. He also fried some eggs and cooked some bacon to have as a main dish. It had a cup of juice for me to drink. Silverware was provided on this huge tray. It practically screamed delicious. Yugyeom slid into his empty side of the bed and positioned the tray over my thighs. I sat up to reach it. My hands grabbed the drink and directed towards my lips to take a sip of it. Yugyeom looked at me eagerly.

"Thanks, babe..." A leaned over and gave him a peck on the lips. He happily returned it. Yugyeom's face showed me a huge smile.

"Yeah! No problem. Enjoy it~"

I just looked at him. He gave me an encouraging nod. The hunger that I harbored in the morning convinced me to do as I was told.

The food was good. Yugyeom did a good job at cooking. I mean, he did have to cook for the past few months, but it was better than he usually did. Bite after the bite after bite, the food was finally gone. I grabbed a napkin and cleaned my mouth with it. Yugyeom still looked at me happily.

I laughed at him. "You good?"

"Yeah, perfect."

Perfect? I decided to shrug it off.

My body dragged itself out of bed. I head into the bathroom to wash clean and brush my teeth. Once I was out and dry, Yugyeom followed me like a lost puppy to the closet. I grabbed out my clothes for the day while Yugyeom stared at me. The selection of clothes for today covered my nude body before Yugyeom could take a quick peek. I walk to the mirror to look at my appearance. My hands raked over my hair and ruffled it slightly. They also went over to rub my face to rid any sleepiness that still lingered.

"You look great babe, don't worry." Yugyeom complemented me.

"But I wasn't even worried-"

"You still look great."

"Okay." I walk away from the mirror. Yugyeom takes this opportunity to wrap his arms around my waist. I looked up to him while he looked down at me. I tried to search his eyes for a reason behind his behavior. I couldn't find anything wrong, they still looked the same. He bent down to hug me. The hug was tender and warm. It held so much emotion and Yugyeom held me there for a while. I stayed there limp and confused.

Why is he so clingy this morning?

He backed away and smiled at me. Our eyes moved frantically. His to stare at my features; mine to find an answer to this change of behavior. This was all too good to be true.

I mean, yeah I guess Yugyeom usually does hug a kiss me often every day, yet today's skinship made it feel suspicious.

I end up heading to the kitchen (as a habit) and Yugyeom, of course, followed me there too. I looked into the fridge. All of those ingredients he used for this morning's breakfast seemed to be very diverse. It must have taken most of my ingredients to make that meal.

"We need to go grocery shopping." I tell Yugyeom while I stared at the fridge. He walked up behind me and looked at it too, humming in agreement. After closing the refrigerator door, I went to the door and stopped by the bowl to grab my keys. Yugyeom stared at it weirdly. These keys were different. It not only had my usual house key paired with a keychain, but it also had another key.

I open the door and wait for Yugyeom to follow me, but he just continued to look at the keys.

"Isn't that a car key?" He asked me.

"Yeah."

"Don't you need a car to own that key?"

"I do own a car."

Yugyeom stared at me in surprise.

"What?"

"We always walk around everywhere! I thought you didn't have a car." Yugyeom explained to me dumbfounded.

"Well, I do."

"I want to see this car. I can't seem to believe that it's real."

"Okay." I walked out the door with Yugyeom in tow. We made it to the front of my apartment complex. I walk up to the plain four door sedan. I pressed the button to unlock it and it made a sound. Yugyeom's eyes widened.

"That car?!"

"Yeah. What's wrong with it?"

"Nothing. I always saw that car parked because I never saw someone use it. I started to believe that it didn't have an owner."

"Well, it's mine."

"I can see that. Why don't you ever use it?"

I explain it to him while we piled in and buckled into our seats. "Because I prefer walking. Everything is nearby anyway, even my friends' house. My mom still insists that I own a car just in case. I guess it's convenient because the grocery store we're heading to is far away."

"You should use it more if you have to pay the bills for it." I turned on the engine.

"Shut up. Walking is good for the soul." Yugyeom scoffed at my statement.

I turned on the radio for background noise and proceeded to back out into the road, and drive to my destination. Yugyeom looked out of the window while I drove. Because of our lack of conversation, mind started to think.

I know I haven't been giving my all lately. In a relationship, I'm usually really affectionate to the other person. I don't do things half-assed. But I still felt somehow wrong about the whole thing. Someone in the back of my mind was bothering me.

Be careful... It would say.

It didn't seem like something was wrong. Our relationship looked somewhat fine and healthy. The only thing wrong with it was I couldn't break down the barrier around my heart.

Then it hit me...

Was he, perhaps, giving more love to get a reaction from me?

The thought made me feel bad;
Bad enough that I felt that way the whole time we shopped.

Yugyeom would grab things from the shelves and show them to me once we arrived. I quietly agreed and nodded to what he was saying. I was zoned out. Extremely out of it that sometimes Yugyeom would ask me something and I would forget to answer. His face would look confused. He would stop after he noticed that I wasn't all in there. We continued to shop till we had all of the ingredients we needed at home. It wasn't until we got home that he started to ask questions.

"What's wrong baby?" Yugyeom purred. He pulled my body up and sat me on his lap. My whole being felt warm from the contact. I wrapped my legs around his waist. My mind was set on not giving in, but his gestures were too much for me at the moment.

"Nothing." I managed to say but it came out a pitch higher than what I intended. Yugyeom smirked. He obviously knew that what he was doing, was working.

"Talk to me, babe..." He continues to lull me in. He wraps his arms around me and brings me in closer if that was even possible. "I wanna help you. Let me listen to your voice..."

My breath hitched when I felt his breath near my jaw. This was a new approach for making me open up. I was ready for the full impact. I closed my eyes and waited. To my surprise, all he did was leave a soft kiss at that spot and backed up. My eyes immediately flew open and he came closer to my face this time. Our foreheads touched and our eyes stared at one another. I gulped.

"I know there's something wrong." Yugyeom's sappiness left as soon as I heard the seriousness in his voice.

"It's fine-"

"Babe I know that it's everything but fine." He backed away. My eyes darted to my hands that brought themselves closer to my body. "I've noticed that something was wrong for a while now. I've ignored it because I thought you would tell me if I gave you some time. But I'm not sure if I can wait anymore. I want for you to trust me too. A relationship needs two people to work. It can't be one sided. Please, baby, trust me more. Let's stay close to each other..." He pulled me into a hug.

"...before it's too late..." I hear him mutter that last part and my body tensed.

"Huh?" I get out of our embrace and stand up. "Before it's too late?"

Yugyeom freezes.

"What's gonna happen? What's going on?" I started to feel uneasy.

"Babe don't change the subject..." Yugyeom tried to convince me but I was smarter than that.

"I can tell that whatever you know is more important than the other topic!"

"Baby calm down." Yugyeom stood up. He tried to use his hands to calm me down but I dodged them.

"Just tell me what's going on." I looked at him seriously. Yugyeom groaned in defeat once he came to terms that he couldn't avoid the situation.

"It's Jungkook."

I could feel my skin turning pale.

"I thought everything was done," My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "What does he want?"

Yugyeom sat down and sighed. His hands rubbed his face and hair in annoyance. He looked up at me with concerned eyes.

"I think he has already decided on what they're going to do to me..."
