After their break-up, Jungkook lived in a small world, but its ruins for him were actual. His misfortune was trifling, but its effect upon his spirit was deep and calamitous. He withdrew deeply and scornfully into his bedroom. He had bouts with shortness of breath. He was friendless, whipped with scorn and pride. He set his face blindly against all the common united life around him.
Now that he was with her again, yet bracing himself against the rough waters of their second voyage, he cannot help but mutter reassurances to himself that they can get through this once again with differing results. After their last disagreement, he came home, went into the dark bathroom and held his hand under a jet of lukewarm water. He had cut it in a moment of flippant rage when yanking on a switch as he walked down the avenue. A very quiet despair was in his heart, a weary peace that brooded too upon the house of tumult, that flowed, like a soft exploring wind, through the dark hallway, bathing all things quietly with peace and weariness. His fellow dorm members had fled to their parents' homes for the holidays. He walked out of the bathroom and slowly up the dark hall, with a bandage loosely around his wound. He felt suddenly the peace that comes with despair.
