Jungkook and I are like any other couple—we went through the fresh, innocent stage of dating and are now in the passionate phase.
We started dating in our second year of high school, and now it’s already been six years. We’ve been living together since college.
But lately, Jungkook hasn’t been showing me any physical affection.
I wondered if it was the so-called "relationship slump" that long-term couples go through, but when I see the affectionate way he looks at me, I know that’s not it.
Then why won’t he touch me?
That’s the biggest question.
If I ask him to hold me,
"Jungkook, hug me."
"I… I’ll take a shower first."
And he runs off to the bathroom.
If I try to hold his hand,
"Ugh, just sitting here makes my body stiff."
He stretches and subtly avoids me.
Did I do something wrong?
But more than that, what bothers me is how often he’s been going out lately.
Whenever he gets the chance, he says, "I’m heading out for a bit," and leaves.
And once he’s out, he’s gone for two or three hours.
When I ask, "Where did you go?"
He just says, "I was meeting a friend," and brushes it off.
"Jungkook."
"Yeah? What’s up, babe?"
"Why don’t you touch me anymore?"
"H-huh…?"
"Come on, you barely touch me, and when I try, you just avoid it."
"Did you… did you stop liking me? Is that it?"
"N-no! That’s not it at all!"
"Then kiss me."
"So that I won’t doubt your feelings."
