༺♡༻ Was Any Of I

❝ A fake relationship was supposed to be simple.

Hold hands.

Smile for pictures.

Attend events together.

Make his ex jealous.

Nothing more.

At least, that's what Jungkook thought. ❞

✦

Jungkook is everything you're not.

Confident. Popular. Cocky.

The type of person who can walk into a room and instantly become the center of attention.

While you've spent years hiding behind oversized hoodies, avoiding conversations, and keeping everyone at arm's length.

You were never supposed to fit into his world.

Yet somehow, you've always been the one person he keeps coming back to.

✦

When Jungkook's ex suddenly returns and starts chasing after him again, he comes to you with a ridiculous proposal.

Be his fake girlfriend.

Just for a while.

Just long enough to make her back off.

Simple.

Or at least it should have been.

✦

Because somewhere between fake dates, stolen glances, jealous arguments, and lingering touches that last a little too long...

the line starts to blur.

And the more attention you receive, the more possessive Jungkook becomes.

Almost as if he's forgotten this was supposed to be pretend.

✦

But neither of you know the truth.

Years ago, before the popularity, before the confidence, before the masks...

Jungkook fell first.

And the confession he thought you ignored...

never reached you.

Some lies feel too much like the truth.
