~But I still want you~

"Jungkook, remember, I will always be there for you but...in return I want you to promise me that you will always be there for me and support me."

With teary eyes, Jungkook felt a pang in his heart as he heard the words she said. "I promise." He whispered but deep down, his inner voice continued, "I promise that I will always protect you, love you and be by your side Y/n. That is, as long as I am able to stay in this universe."

Gone...

He, was, gone.

And these were the words that kept echoing in Y/n's mind as she stared at the place where Jungkook last sat and held her in his arms just a few minutes back.

A gentle yet cold wind blew while the noises of police sirens loudly blared outside and inside the tunnel.

Beside Y/n, stood a speechless Namjoon who was overcome with grief and shock. He too stared at the place where once Jungkook sat, the place that was now occupied by an unconscious Jongkook.

Y/n blinked her eyes several times, so as to comfort herself by thinking that what was happening was not reality but rather just a horrible dream. But deep inside, a little voice in her head kept painfully reminding her that she was not seeing a nightmare but rather seeing events that were happening in reality.

Looking up at Namjoon with her tired and teary eyes, Y/n wiped away her tears and then muttered with a feeble voice, "Why did Jungkook not tell me? Why did he hide the truth? Did he not believe me? Was I not trustable enough?" 

Namjoon bit his lower lip as he tried to put words together and form a sentence that would answer the questions Y/n had. Giving a sigh he was about to give a reply when a voice came from behind him,

"Detective Namjoon, Miss Y/n?"

Turning around, Namjoon's gaze met Taehyung's, "Yes officer?"

"We have found out that the person who was the cause of this accident is Miss Mi Ra, the daughter of a rich businessman who is currently in the US. We have sent her back home for the meantime, but she is under strict surveillance."

"Mi Ra has caused a lot of trouble not only today but also many times in the past, you see, she is a sasang fan of Jongkook." Namjoon stated as he recalled the various times Jungkook had mentioned about him feeling as if someone was following him all day long, no matter where he went. "I suggest that she undergoes a trial in the court so that the judge can decide what should be done with her."

Taehyung gave a nod as heard the words Namjoon said, "That's exactly what will happen tomorrow morning at 9am sir. And speaking of Mr Jongkook, my assistant has called for an ambulance so that it can take him to the hospital. "

"Thank you officer." Namjoon spoke with gratitude as he then turned to look at Y/n who, he realised, had been listening to the conversation that took place between him and Taehyung. "Y/n?" He spoke with a worried voice as he looked at her.

"Yes?" Y/n replied with a low voice as she once again wiped her tears and got up.

Namjoon offered her his hand to help her stand up, during which, his eyes fell on his brother who was being carried into an ambulance. Looking back at Y/n, he then spoke with a gentle voice, "Once Mi Ra's trial is done, I'll explain everything to you in detail tomorrow . It's getting very late now, do you want me to drive you back home?" He asked to which Y/n gave a sigh and then slowly nodded.

Coming out of Namjoon's car, Y/n gave a bow as she then thanked him for driving her home. She was about to turn and walk away when Namjoon called out to her. "Y/n!"

Stopping at her tracks, Y/n looked at Namjoon as she slightly raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

Namjoon came out of his car and then opened the door of the car's backseat. He rummaged through some files and bags that were kept and then finally came out and walked towards Y/n with a box held in his hand.

Y/n's eyes travelled down and fell on the box which Namjoon held. "What's this?" She asked with confusion as she looked at the box which was covered with a golden gift wrap.

"It's something which Jungkook wanted to give you as a present." Namjoon replied as he handed the box to Y/n and then quickly bid a goodbye. Sitting inside his car, he turned on its engine and drove away.

"Something Jungkook wanted to give me?" Y/n muttered with confusion as she looked at the box with curiosity building inside her.

Opening the door and entering her apartment, Y/n removed her shoes and then washed her face with water so as to freshen up a bit. Finally, after she was done, she headed towards that mysterious box and slowly started to unwrap the gift paper.

Peering inside the now open box, Y/n saw a big album near which was placed a small card with the letters 'OPEN!' written on its first page. She looked at the album and then at the card, then back at the album and once again...back at the card. 

What could these two things hold within them?

With hesitation lingering in her mind, Y/n picked up the album first. It's cover consisting of the two colours: blue and pink. They were contrasted in such a way that it made a beautiful design which pleased one's eye.

She took a deep breath and then flipped the book open.

She looked at the first page...

Then at the second...

The third...

And this pattern, which consisted of flipping a page and going through its contents, continued for the next few minutes as tears and a painful smile made their way on Y/n's face.

There were loads of pictures in the album which caused countless memories to flash by her mind. Pictures of moments spent between her and Jungkook.

A tear slipped through her eye as she reached the last page of the album. With trembling fingers she flipped the page and looked at it. Some words were written on it as she let her eyes go through them.

Did you like the gift? I am sure you did!

Anyways, now that you have reached the last page of this album, read the card I wrote for you!

A small chuckle escaped her lips as she closed the album and kept it aside. Putting her hand inside the box, Y/n took out the card and started reading through it. And as she read, she could almost hear Jungkook's warm voice say each word, which caused a rush of emotions and sometimes even a tear to roll down her cheeks.

Dear Y/n, 

Are you wondering why I made that album for you? It's because today marks the 30th day of our relationship! 

I know this may not be a very big accomplishment but still, the though that I have had you as a lover by my side for one month brings joy and immense happiness to my heart. Y/n, no matter how many letters of any language are put together to form the most expressive and beautiful words, the love I have for you is much more. 

Forgive me if I ever said or did something that might have hurt you. I wish our relationship lasts longer and that the love we have for each other continues to bloom in our hearts.

But...what I just wrote in the previous sentence is afterall, just a wish which I hope is granted.

Y/n, there were many times during which I felt lost and confused. Do you wonder why? It's because of a sudden change that took place in my life. Y/n, today, I have decided to tell you the truth. I don't know how you may react to this but please....continue reading as I don't want to keep you in the dark.

I, Jeon Jungkook, have come from a parallel universe. The reason of why you had those dreams, the reason of my sudden headaches and the reason why I might sometimes have behaved or reacted weirdly is because I come from a different universe. I am the other version of Jongkook. Y/n, today at 12am, the comet which is the reason of why I came to this universe will arrive once again. I have no idea of what will happen and what it may cause but one thing that I can say is that...if something happens to me then please don't feel disheartened.

If I am no longer by your side then please don't let tears fall from your eyes, because I would no longer be able to wipe them for you. I would not be able to hug you and tell you that everything is fine, that I am by your side.

And also, if by the time you read this letter I am no longer here, then please forgive me for breaking the promise I made with you. Forgive me for not telling you the truth earlier.

Fate made us meet in a hurry but also might break us apart. And if so, then maybe...we can never meet again.

Please take care of yourself.

Y/n, I love you.

Her breath hitched while her vission blurred because of the continuous tears that kept falling from her eyes.

She was about to keep the letter aside when she noticed a small note written at the very end of the letter. Wiping her tears away she took a pencil in her hand as she wrote beside that note with a trembling hand.

"Sometimes love is found in the most unexpected style."  The note said.

"And sometimes love is lost at the most unwanted time."

And with that a tear fell from her eye and made its way on the words she wrote.
