ERELAH'S P.O.V

AS SOON as I met eyes with his red and swollen ones that looked like they were screaming for help. I didn't think twice and ran towards him, engulfing him in a warm hug. I could hear his sobs grow even louder when I hugged him, his tears that kept rolling down his cheeks fell on my shirt. He then suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him as he buried his head on my shoulder even more.

I patted his back repeatedly wanting to comfort him as much as I can, however, when I heard him mumble something between his sobs. I stopped and listened to what he was saying. "I-I ha...te the rain...n-no I despise it along with the thunder...I-I hate this weather the most in this w-world." He said his voice quivering as he continued to talk, but I noticed that his sobs have now lessened. I felt his grip on my waist soften and I no longer felt his tears wetting my shirt.

I know that I was in front of him, but when he started to talk it didn't feel like he was talking to me, instead it felt like he was talking to himself. This is my first time seeing him show his vulnerable state, so I didn't know what to do therefore I decided I should just stay quiet and listen to him.

"I m-miss her, I miss my M-mom so so much."

After comforting Jungkook earlier who was now fast asleep in his comfy bed, Erelah is still wide awake not feeling any ounce of sleepiness. Seeing Jungkook being a crying mess hurt her more than she thought it would. It was like looking at him in such a state made her mad at the world for taking away his mom. She felt like she could fight the world just for him to have his Mom back.

Then her thoughts drifted to Taehyung's question that she somehow can't get off her mind. "Don't tell me you have feelings for Jungkook?" Erelah ruffled her hair as she remembered what her best friend has asked...She started considering that maybe Taehyung was right...maybe she does like Jungkook.

Maybe she doesn't like him just as a writer... Maybe as a man- She suddenly slapped herself when she remembered Tina has a crush on him, so she can't have feelings for him too. It would ruin their friendship, and she doesn't want that when Tina just gave her an opportunity to do real work, and also because she doesn't want their relationship to be broken since they just became friends again.

Erelah groaned feeling bothered by the two, so to distract herself, she reached for her cellphone on the bedside table. Once she got hold of it she pressed the on button and saw a chat from her brother on its lock screen. She tapped the message to open it. The message was sent 3 hours ago, and it said:

Brother Mochi:

Erelah, I forgot an important detail to tell you PLEASE DON'T LEAVE JUNGKOOK ALONE WHEN IT'S RAINING. He cries a lot when it rains and sometimes he even has difficulty breathing so please when you see that It's raining please go to him and comfort him. That's all take care Erelah.

After reading her brother's text she felt even sadder... and wished she could have seen his text earlier.

I hardly got any sleep last night cause I kept worrying about Jungkook. What if it starts raining again and he starts to panic again? That is the reason why I couldn't sleep last night however, my sleepy eyes betrayed me as my eyelids kept getting heavier as the night gets deeper.

I walked out of my room, the aroma of coffee that was coming from the kitchen was immediately recognized by my nostrils. My sleepy state was now gone. I left my room with droopy eyes earlier, but now they were wide open as they looked in the direction of the kitchen.

And found Jungkook seated on one of the chairs as he looked at me with a coffee cup on his hands that were covering his heart-shaped lips. Once he noticed that I was looking back at him, he immediately broke eye contact and continued sipping his cup of coffee.

I sighed since I could sense that he was uncomfortable being in the same room as me because of last night. Well, I can't blame him. Even I don't know what to do or say right now. Our fight last week was already causing so much awkwardness inside my house then what happened last night made it even more worse...

This can't go on...I have to make the first move I'm the one who did something wrong, so It's not right for me to stay indifferent- I was about to speak when I was interrupted by Jungkook's melodic voice.

"Hey, I'm sorry about last week I shouldn't have treated you like that...It was wrong of me to keep my laptop open, when something that sensitive is stored in it." I looked at Jungkook who was now looking at me as he stopped sipping from his cup of coffee. I froze in my spot when I heard him apologize. I raised both my hands up to my chest as I shook them.

"No...no! I should be the one saying sorry. I should have never looked at the contents of your laptop whether it was opened or not." I apologized as my head hung low not being able to look him in the eye since I was feeling shy that he was the first one to apologize when it was supposed to be me.

I heard him chuckle which made me look at him with furrowed eyebrows. "Apology accepted Erelah, I'm glad the both of us finally know what we did wrong yeah?" He said after wiping the coffee stain on the side of his lips. I nodded and made my way towards one of the drawers in the kitchen. "Y-yeah you're right." I looked over his shoulder and saw that his cup of coffee was now empty. "You only drank coffee? How about bread? I still have some here." I asked as I got out the pack of bread from the top shelf.

"Didn't have much appetite earlier that's why," Jungkook explained as he laid his back on the chair comfortably. I hummed as a response and took out the peanut butter that was beside the bread earlier. "This is the first time I heard you say that you have no appetite..." I said as I sat in front of him and started spreading the peanut butter on one side of the bread. He didn't respond, but I just let it slide thinking that maybe he doesn't have any reason for his sudden odd behavior.

Not until he said something that I didn't expect. "Today is my Mom's birthday, and also the day she died." I was about to take a bite out of the bread, but stopped once he finished his sentence. I put the bread back down on its plate as I looked at Jungkook feeling speechless. He was wearing a sad smile as he looked at me. "Don't look at me with those eyes filled with pity Erelah, they only make me feel worse." When he said that I immediately looked down. Not wanting to make him feel worse than he already does.

"I'm sorry..." I apologized again as I started caressing my nape. "Instead of that-" I heard the chair being pushed backwards. Which caused me to look up at him. "-how about you go with me somewhere yeah?"
