Nari's POV
I feel proud but sad at the same time, how is it possible to feel these two feelings at the same time?
I drove myself home which isn't far and threw myself on the couch rethinking my morning.
"I came back for you"
His words rang in my head, hell, the entire conversation rang in my head.
I know Jungkook, if he's come back specifically for me, he'll stop at nothing.
I can't wait till Youngjae gets off of work so I can't tell him what just happened.
Youngjae and I have known each other since elementary school but loss contact once I started dating Jungkook.
The day Jungkook and I ended things completely is the same day Youngjae and I became a thing.
Now I know what you're thinking, how could I start dating another person so quickly after all that.
Well, allow me to explain.
Since Youngjae and I have known each other before my relationship with Jungkook started, we were already aware of each other's personalities and characters.
Youngjae has had a crush on me for a very long time and I've always known it, so when he found me crying in a corner in the middle of the night when he was walking home, he didn't hesitate to hug me.
He knew how Jungkook was to me because he's witnessed it before, the only reason why he's never done anything about it is because I begged him not to.
I was fearful for what Jungkook might do to him if he found out that we were still friends and secretly talking, I couldn't imagine what would go through his head to do to Youngjae, or me, all because another guy was trying to protect me.
He'd question what was behind it because to him, he was justified in his actions so he didn't see a reason why anyone would actually care to help me.
Holding me in his arms that sad night, he'd promise me a better life and happier years with less tears if I'd give him a chance, he wanted to show me what actual love was.
I'll admit, my thoughts on love was pretty tainted at that point so I was skeptical, but Youngjae promised that the love he had for me would be nothing like Jungkooks, and so, I gave him the chance.
And so far, I haven't been disappointed.
He's lived up to his promise, almost 5 years in and I haven't even shed a tear because of him.
Yes we fight, but he doesn't belittle me in arguments like Jungkook does... or did.
I'm quite happy with Youngjae now and nothing would ever make me regret choosing him.
*Buzzzzzzz*
Speaking of the devil, there's Youngjae now.
"Hellooooo Hun"
"NAAAAARRRRRIIIIIIIIII"
"Good God Youngjae my ears! I have headphones in!"
"Oh damn my bad love, I'm just excited cause tomorrow's pay day and I wanna take you somewhere special for our anniversary!!"
"You know you don't have to spend your money on me like that Youngjae, we can just stay home and have string cheese and orange juice."
"Ok first of all, gross? That's a horrible combinations of food, second of all 5 years is a big deal and we're going out weather you like it or not."
"..... Doritos and orange juice then?"
"Nari seriously? That's even worse!"
"WHAT DO YOU EAT WITH ORANGE JUICE THEN?!"
"..... breakfast"
".... there's cheese in breakfast"
"What kind of breakfast have you been having? There's no cheese on eggs, toast, pancakes, waffles, hashbro-"
"SOME PEOPLE LIKE CHEESE!"
"Ok fine, you eat it but I don't want any."
"Eat caca then."
"..... just ... would you come open the door I'm at your house."
Without saying goodbye I hang up the phone and run over to the front door to let Youngjae in.
I swing the door open and leap into his arms, catching him off guard "YOUNGJAAAAAEEEEEE"
Placing his head between the palms of my hands I place a kiss on his lips.
His arms then wrap around my body and he swings me in a circle, our lips still connected until he puts me back down.
"I MISSED YOU NARI!"
"Haha I miss you too hun, and boy do I have a story to tell you"
His right eyebrow raised and shoots me a curious look.
"First let's sit down and have a snack, you've been at work all day and I KNOWWWWW you're hungry."
"Aw you know me so well."
"Yeah yeah don't sweet talk me."
Youngjae makes himself comfortable by taking off his shoes and jacket and heads over to the kitchen table while I head to the fridge to get us something to snack on.
"Here you go kind sir."
I throw a string cheese at him and place orange juice in front of him.
"NARI I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DON-"
"Would you shut up and at least try it."
"Mmmm, you're lucky you're cute."
He picks up the juice box and takes a drink of it with a defeated look on his face.
"So..."
"Shifting his gaze to me I suddenly feel very nervous to tell him about Jungkook.
"Soooo? What?"
"Jungkooks back.."
In all of my years of knowing Youngjae I've never seen his face drop so blankly so fast before.
"What did you just say?"
"I- um... I said that Jungkooks back"
"And how exactly do you know this?"
"Well you see, that's the story I wanted to tell you! I was out shopping early today and we sort of, bumped into each other."
Youngjae looked like he was fuming and I was fiddling with my fingers at this point afraid that he was mad."
"DID HE TOUCH YOU?!"
"Wh-What? N-no Youngjae he-"
"SO HELP ME GOD NARI IF HE LAYS A HAND ON SO MUCH AS A HAIR I WILL KILL HIM IN HIS SLEEP I WAS QUIET BEFORE AND BUT I WONT BE THIS TIME."
"Youngjae shush and listen."
His blank face never change as he stared intently at me waiting for what I have to say.
"He didn't touch me, but-"
"BUT WHAT?! NARI I SWE-"
"SHUSH"
He fell back on his chair and crossed his arm, grumbling to himself.
"But", I continued, "he did say he came back for me"
Youngjae shot up ready to say something until I cut him off, "interrupt me again and I'll cut your tongue out."
Immediately he sat back in his chair a bit taken back at my comment.
"He apologized to me for everything he did and says he's a changed, better man and wants to fix everything."
For a split second it looked as if Youngjae was worried, he's not thinking what I think he's thinking is he? I'd never leave Youngjae for him, never!
"But don't worry! I basically told him off and said I was very happy with a good man and didn't want any contact with him."
Youngjae released a breath and got up to hug me.
My tensed body soon relaxed at his gentle touch.
"I'm really proud of you for sticking up to him, but you need to be careful, this is Jungkook we're talking about and if he really said that he came back specifically for you then we need to take that seriously."
He pulled away from the hug and held my face looking directly in my eyes.
"He is not one to give up so easily, I have a feeling we'll be seeing him again, and soon."
I nodded in understanding and gave him my eye smile which made his serious and blank face change into a happy one.
Brushing my hair back he planted a kiss on my forehead, "I promise I won't let him hurt you again."
I know this is a big promise to make, but I didn't question him.
He's never given me a reason to doubt him, he's always stuck to the promises he's made.
Promising me a life without tears is a big thing to make too, yet here we are, 5 years later and still tear free.
Grabbing one of his hands with mine I bring it down to the front my chest and hold it, "I trust you."
His other hand then lifted my face up to his and he leans in to give me a kiss.
But before he could come in contact with my lips, the doorbell rang making us both jump.
"Are you expecting anyone?" He ask me.
"No?"
I got up and we both headed to the front door.
"Let me open it", he makes his way in front of me and turns the handle.
Who was behind the door not only frightened me, but by the way Youngjaes body tensed up, I could tell he was pissed off.
Growling between his teeth Youngjae gets in the face of the man behind the door, "What the fuck are you doing here Jungkook?!"
