Something is wrong.

Seokjin is more distant and cold than ever as he sits in front of me, his hands trembling and eyebrows furrowed. He's thinking of other things... or someone else.

He took me out as he promised, but we ate silently, no words exchanged until both of us were done, per his request. It was stuffy and awkward, even now as I sit stiffly watching as Seokjin takes care of the bill.

Things weren't supposed to be like this.

This isn't right.

This isn't Seokjin. He was supposed to be kind, kind to me, and gentle, and he's been nothing but callous the whole time. He wouldn't treat Yoongi this way, so why me?

"Y'know... this is my first time going out on a date, hyung," I tell the older man, attempting to strike up a conversation.

Seokjin hums dimly, hardly paying any mind to what I'm saying. "Really?" he asks, his eyes showing no interest whatsoever.

"Yeah. I never liked anyone that much to go out on dates. Things are just different with you," I confess with a shrug feeling insecure under his stare.

"Is that so?" he questions, eyebrows furrowed.

I nod, "Yeah. I've really been looking forward to this!"

"I'm sure you have, bun," Seokjin mutters.

I smile nonetheless. I got what I wanted. I got Seokjin to be mine. There's no use in complaining.

"You look really handsome tonight, hyung. I dunno if I said that already but–"Seokjin looks at me up and down, his expression unreadable as he lets out a sigh. "So do you, Jungkook. Hyung thinks you look very pretty tonight."

I feel my cheeks burn at the compliment. This is the first time Seokjin has ever complimented me.

Usually, it's me doing all the work in our relationship. I'm the one who always has to make the first move. I compliment Seokjin, get him gifts, and try to be around him as much as I can while he doesn't even try.

Things are finally changing... Seokjin thinks I'm pretty...

My confidence grows as I give him a smile. "Hyung–"

"What?" Seokjin questions harshly, eyes glancing over at me in frustration.

I open my mouth then quickly shut my lips tight, taken aback at his tone.

"You're doing it again," I mutter. He's been snappy and rude all day.

"," He hisses. He places a hand on my head, smoothing down my hair as he looks over at me with tired eyes.

He's growing tired of me.

"I'm sorry for everything, Jungkook-ah," he mutters before leaning forward, pressing a kiss on my forehead.

There's something off about his words. There's something he isn't telling me.

"We can go back home, hyung," I murmur, and he shakes his head. "You had something else planned for tonight, right?" He asks.

"Well yes, but–"

"Then we're doing it," He rasps out almost irritatedly.

He doesn't even let me say a thing as he stands from his seat, leaving me on my own. My vision is blurry as my eyes well up with tears. I watch as Seokjin walks out of the restaurant when I'm supposed to be by his side.

Today is just a bad day for him.

He still wants me. He's just upset right now.

The moment I sit with him, he'll apologize. He'll hold my hand, and if anyone asks, he'll proudly say I'm his.

He'll kiss me gently for once.

When we get home, he'll make love to me.

He'll tell me how much he wants me, how much he loves me. He won't hide his relationship with me today.

Today, I'm Seokjin's boyfriend.

Yoongi doesn't exist anymore. Taehyung and Jimin aren't his sons, just me, only me.

I'm all that matters. He's all mine.

I let out a sigh wiping at the tears on my cheeks, bracing myself to go out and meet him. I walk out of the establishment into the cold night, looking up at the darkening sky before joining Seokjin in the car.

Tonight is ed. Might as well go home.

"What took you so long?" he grumbles as I enter the vehicle.

I take my seat, closing the door shut before turning to look at him. "Wanted to make sure I had everything," I mutter, and he nods, letting out a hum.

"Hyung... Do you lo–I love you a lot," I stammer out, and he doesn't say a word as he stares at me.

I take a sharp breath as I wait for those four words.

He presses a chaste kiss against my lips. "I know you do Jungkook-ah."

They never come.
