I beg for your apologies for not continuing this stories. I just received a full time job a couple month ago and got really tied up in it. I literally forgot I had Wattpad at all.
But I'm back! Sorry once again. Love you all who are still reading this story. Thanks to those 5 or 6 people who kept tormenting me via email to complete this story, I'm at your service now.

So far, it was a very awkward, uncomfortable and a silent ride. Taehyung kept driving towards Jimin's place with a light smirk and you meanwhile had your heartbeat up booming like a heavy bass.
"We're about to reach in a few minutes. Just want to give you a few heads up before that" he glances at you.
"And what would be those?" You ask curiously.
"First things first. There are going to be a lot of people. We invited many people and they invited many people so we aren't sure of whose going to be there, therefore, don't wander off anywhere alone. You don't know but there are a lot of people who are looking to target people close to our group. It just gives them an advantage" he starts to scare you already.
"What do you mean? Shouldn't you take care of that and keep these people away?" You question being taken aback.
"In our world, you cannot guarantee who's your person and who's not. Besides, it's an open party"
"Is Hyeyeon safe there? Everyone must know she is Jimin-ssi's girlfriend?" After saying that, your voice softens before you say the next thing. "
I can't believe she lied to me and hid all this from me" you distract from your own point.
"Jimin is going to be by her side all the time, don't worry. The rest of have our girlfriends and fiancés are coming tonight to the party too. We've got the security covered all of our own people"
"Hold on" "By what I remember is you guys aren't allowed to date girls like that and now some of you are engaged?" You remember what their Hyung said last time you were with all of them in their apartment in Seoul.
"It was a long time ago. Then, we had some serious enemies but now we've conquered the market in Seoul as well as Busan. Although there are still people who want to get rid of us for the power but it's just something they can wish of" he clenches his teeth, surely seeing those particular people in front of his eyes. "And our girlfriends know who we are and what we do, so don't worry about it. Times have changed"
"Does Hyeyeon know?" You ask with a hope is your eyes.
Before answering, Taehyung takes a loud breath and exhales. "Yes. Jimin just told her a couple months ago"
Listening that you look ahead and watch the cars ahead with saddened yet slightly fierce eyes. How could she not trust you enough to tell you about all this?
"By the way, another thing that I wanted to give you a heads up on is" "it's Jungkook"
"I don't want to hear about him. Everything is in the past" you talk back immediately not wanting to know more about Jungkook. You know it was just going to make you restless and more curious about him.
"Well, I have to at least tell you this that he is not the Jungkook you knew two years ago. He's changed......and not in a good way" "The way we describe him everyday is that he's lost himself. He's gotten rid of his heart. He listens to no one and does what he wants. He hurts himself, he hates himself more than anyone has ever hated him, including you when you first met him" "We have been trying to make him better but always seems like he is just in some other world with no touch with the reality"
Hearing to what Taehyung said, you're skin starts to go cold and you remember the Jungkook you encountered the first time he brought you to his apartment. All heartless and merciless.
"Will he be at the party?" You ask silently looking down at your hands on your lap, picking your nails.
"No. He rarely joins these kind of parties. He's either away doing his own thing or in his room most of the time" he replies making you confused.
As soon as you register the possibilities of him being there, the thought you both being under the same roof starts making you restless and your heart start beating loudly against your chest. You're scared you'll encounter him but at the sone time some part of you that hasn't moved on from the past, wants to see him. Thinking of all that, a cold shiver rushes down in your spine to your feet and you start breathing through your mouth, panicking internally.
***
The penthouse is filled with people all high, drunk and armed. Taehyung is guiding you, tearing through the strangers on your way to meet everyone else.
"Are you serious? He is bailing on us? Jin Hyung himself planned this party with you"
You hear someone speak as you approach the group Taehyung was walking you towards.
"Y/N!" Hyeyeon spots you from behind Taehyung and sprints towards you, ending up hugging you tightly, slightly tipsy already.
"Hey girl" you try to keep the news you just heard, away and pretend you know nothing about it as of now.
"Glad you made it! Did Taehyung get you here safely?" Hyeyeon asks with a wide smile followed by a playful suspicious squint towards Taehyung.
"Yes he did" you answer while exchanging nervous glances with Taehyung.
"I was very careful with her Hyeyeon, she's a prime guest to us" Taehyung smirks looking at you after exchanging an inside context behind the comment.
"What is she doing here?" You suddenly hear someone speak from behind you all, a little agitated and greatly shocked.
You all instantly look at the person and it was Kim Namjoon standing there with Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok and Park Jimin.
All of their eyes were widening as they were getting a better look of you, except Yoongi's. The smirk on his face was rising knowing what was happening and what was coming.
"Hyung" Taehyung suddenly stands in between Hyeyeon and the four Hyungs, blocking her view towards them. "This is Y/N, Hyeyeon's best friend" he was quick to let them know before they said anything Hyeyeon would have a lot of questions about.
As soon as they heard Tae's words, their expressions went through a rollercoaster and landed on pretentious welcomey smile and enthusiasm. You could still see how at least three of the four were still baffled.
"What are you doing?" HyeYeon pushes Tae away playfully assuming he was just trying to bother her as usual.
"Oh!" "Glad to meet you" Hoseok says, clenching his glass of whiskey that he was holding.
Others were struggling to find words but tried their best to keep the smile on, especially Namjoon.
"Babe. This is my Y/N, my first love" Hyeyeon introduces you to Jimin with a cheeky smile.
"Oh yeah. I-I see now. Nice to finally meet you, Y/N" Jimin tries to act like this is the first he is seeing you but has a hard time not fumbling with his words.
At the same time, it hard for you too. It is like you are reliving the past again. It's just making you more and more anxious.
***
The party is turning into a decent one but the crowd has increased so far and so has the security.
Your eyes are stuck on Hyeyeon and Jimin together. You keep gazing at them seeing in person for the first time how truly they are in love with each other and being the most adorable when they are drunk with each other.
"Hey" someone suddenly gives you a shoulder nudge. You look up to them finding it's Taehyung again.
"What's up" he asks and you roll your eyes back to Hye-Min. You decide to ignore his smirky and dorky smile.
"I have something for you" he shrugs his jacket being too proud of himself already.
That does grab your attention but only makes you give him a cocky yet curious side eye.
"Here" he holds some kind of swipe card towards you. "This will give you access to our house upstairs. There will be room straight down the hall. In there could be someone you might want to see"
The moment you hear him say that, you realize what and whom he was talking about. He's here?! All this time you we're sharing a roof with him?
You unclench your jaw and ease your eyes subconsciously and start to feel your heart in your mouth. You were starting to get frightened for some reason, making you frown deeply and suck your lip in slowly.
"Does-does he know I am here?" You breathe with your mouth trying to get yourself together.
He scoffs and looks at the crowd. "I doubt that. The last time I saw him was last night at 2 am-ish, struggling to find his cigarette packs" "you don't have to go see him but I'll leave this with you in case you change your mind" he places the card on the bar table in front of you and takes a step to leave.
Before he could take another step to leave your sight, he stops in his tracks and looks back at you. "The only reason I am doing this is because I think..." he pauses and sighs. ".....you are the last shot. Last shot at bringing him back to life as our Jungkook" you witness the seriousness in his eyes but before that grew, he turns away and disappears with his friends.
"you are the last shot. Last shot at bringing him back to life as our Jungkook"
Taehyung's words start echoing in your repeatedly. You press your eyes close and every moment you spent with Jungkook flashes in front of your eyes in a high speed, trying to recall what he was really like. That is when you realize that you've almost forgotten how he looks like and all you remember is how he made you feel when he was around you. On that note, you aggressively take the last sip of your alcohol, slam the glass you were holding against the glass table, reach out for the card and leave to walk upstairs to see him.
