MR.JEON 💜📖 Part 15 When Memories Flicker
The city lights were fading when Jungkook finally reached home.
He didn't say a word to the staff waiting by the door. His steps were heavy, his expression unreadable.
He went straight upstairs, to his room.
The sound of running water filled the silence as he stood under the shower, eyes closed, letting the heat drown his thoughts.
Images flickered in his mind — Y/N's pale face in the elevator
He clenched his jaw and turned off the water.
By the time he changed into a plain black shirt and pants, his phone buzzed.
The grand hall is quiet — dim chandeliers, soft classical music playing faintly.
JUNGKOOK steps down the staircase, hair still damp from the shower.
He stops mid-step.
At the far end, in the dining area, his father sits with another couple — MR. and MRS. LEE — and their daughter, CLARA, perfectly poised with a polite smile.
Jungkook's expression hardens.
He turns slightly, ready to go back upstairs—
Jeon Sang-Woo pushes his chair back and rises.
He walks around the long table, crossing the marble floor toward his son.
He turns to leave.
He pauses — shoulders tense, head turning slightly.
A moment of silence.
He starts walking. Clara quickly follows.
Jungkook walks ahead, hands in pockets. Clara struggles to keep up.
He points briefly as he walks. She nods awkwardly.
No reply. His gaze stays forward, cold.
He stops, points down the hall without looking at her.
She walks toward it.
Jungkook sighs — a low, tired sound — before following her.
Clara steps in, eyes wide. She walks straight to his bed, sitting on it with a playful smile.
Jungkook's jaw tightened the moment he saw her lying on his bed.
Jungkook doesn't answer.
He turns and walks out, the sound of his footsteps fading.
Her smile faded.
She stands, following him.
She finds him near the balcony, on the phone, tone clipped.
He hangs up, shoulders tense.
Behind him, Clara approaches quietly, trying to sound playful.
Jungkook freezes — his back stiffens before he slowly turns. His expression hardens.
Clara blinks, startled.
He turns and walks away, his footsteps echoing down the marble hall
Tears well in her eyes, but she quickly wipes them and Slowly get downstairs.
CLARA returns to the table, forcing a smile.
He's...been under pressure lately.
The LEE FAMILY smiles politely, though the tension lingers.
The room is dark except for the city lights slipping through the tall windows.
Jungkook sits on the edge of his bed, The silence feels heavy — too heavy.
For a long moment, he doesn't move. Then—
Y/N in the elevator, voice small — "Why did you terminate him?"
The flicker of the lights.
Her startled gasp when the elevator shook.
Her hand gripping the wall — her eyes meeting his, full of fear.
Jungkook exhales sharply, running a hand through his hair.
He sits back, staring out the window.
His reflection in the glass looks colder than he feels.
Jungkook(low, bitter): Good. That's how it should be.
He presses his palm to his forehead, eyes closing, fighting the image that won't leave him —
Y/N's trembling shoulders, her pale face under the flickering lights.
He remembers the way she didn't answer him back.
How she just stood there, small and silent.
Jungkook(mutters, frustrated): Why can't I stop thinking about you?
He gets up, walks to the window.
The city sprawls below — distant, alive.
His reflection stares back, unreadable.
The lights outside flicker faintly — almost like the elevator did.
He looks away, shuts the curtain, and turns off the lamp.
Darkness swallows the room.
Only his heartbeat — steady, sharp — fills the silence.
And even in that silence, her face lingers.
