A world gone blind
Can't stop thinking of your diamond mind.❞

THE SOUND OF MY SHUDDERING breath and the soft trumpet his breathing melodious voice as he spoke pushing the tin cans and dirty shirts when I entered the room,“It's a little messy here,” he murmured as my eyes wandered around observing everything. Slowly drinking my surrounding my eyes rested upon a certain photo on the wall in front in the living room, beside the television.

Summer of 2013 a time when everything was just fine, I remember this picture I was sitting between Alex and Jeon laughing about something so insane and then all the sudden Jeon suggested that we should take a selfie.

A faint smile crept up at the corners of my lips as, I settled down on the couch my breath trembling as he suddenly stopped juggling with the curtains and stride towards me, his long legs bringing him closer untill he was just behind me looking down at me he crossed his arms and started hard.

“We need to talk, Aria.”

Jungkook voiced his eyes gleamed as I swallowed down the lump forming in my throat.

“And what you, do want to talk about?” I asked cocking my head to the side, I crossed my legs, his eyes flared brightly as he cleared his throat undoing his tie, he carelessly threw it away.

                       “About us,” he murmured softly, with so much desperation within his voice. My heart slammed against chest as I slowly felt the walls around me crushing, retiring back I gathered the look upon the man's face then ever so steadily I turned around and to give a short nod and it didn't take him long until he was sitting right in front of me on the coffee table, a chill ran through my spin as realised how close we were.

And I don't why he did chose to sit there but I knew well that this close to him did a lot to me, and I would be to believe he didn't did that on purpose of course he had, he brought me here because he wanted something.

“Nick is he bothering you?” I thought he wasn't going but he surprised me by up this question so suddenly.

“I did what you wanted to talk about?”

His eyes darkened, as curtly leaned closer his hot breath fanning against my flesh as I close my eyes at the close proximity,“Fuck no—why can't you just answer me dammit,” he paused, drawing in some air he brought his hands to my face cradling his palms around my face he made look into his eyes, that blazed fiercer than any fire,“Tell me, Aria is he bothering you?”my hands trembled as I placed them against his hands, and inhaled deeply into his masculine scent.

“Stay away from me, Jeon you and I... we both how it always ends—just forget it.”

I breathed out, feeling the tension around him loosing as slowly let go of me but only to but only to hold my hands, pulled me forward to him, his arms went around my waist as very effortlessly he embraced me, engulfing me into his warmth.

“I know that—but I know this I want you Aria and I wouldn't stand and watch you give yourself to any man. Because you're mine and what's mine will always be mine,” he breathed harshly, his voice rough but his touch tender as he soothed my hair, while his warm breath tingled against my neck, for a second everything and just closed my eyes and listened to breathing heart but reality knocked me out and I was back in the arms of the whom I would forever love.

I pulled back, clearing my throat as to my horror a tear rolled down my eye when I looked up at him,“Say it that you love me and I would leave everything and be yours,” I spoke looking into his chocolate brown eyes that melted hearing my words.

Minutes passed, and the silence around us roared louder any of our demons. But his silence was enough for me to draw to my own conclusions and I withdrew my hands from his large ones, I sighed as I chuckled a bitter laugh.

“You still can't say it—” he cut me off mid–speech.

“I would say it when I really mean it—but not when you know nothing about me I can't do this to us—” he spoke, his voice hoarse as I sighed averting my gaze.

“I would rather have you lie about it than mean it completely—call it delusion but even if I knew who you really are I would still blindly fall in love with you, Jeon that's how serious I am about you.”

“But I am tired now and I would stop because neither of us knows what happy endings are were just the mid part,” I explained it to him, my voice sounding calm but my body shaking because I was having a hard time of being this close to him yet still not touch, our embrace from minutes ago still have my body warm but my heart was wounded and it was bleeding.

“Then don't ask to stay away
from you—” his voice snapped at me as he suddenly jerked me forward pulling hardly close to him again.

“Then what do want from me?”

I snapped back at him, my voice louder than his as he eyes darkened and his breath shuddered against my face.

“I want to be a part of your life. Aria, I want us to be back together again, watch movies, laughing and may be fighting—”

I cut him off by blurring out,“Friends, is what you want us to be?” You go on ignoring me then you come back saying you want to be friends again?”

      His eyes snapped hearing my words as he grunted,“You still don't get it I don't want to be friends with you, Aria I want you to be in my life,” his words formed into my head this vision of him holding me tightly while his eyes stared deeper into my soul would forever be imprinted in my memories.
