He promised he’d come back in three years. He came back in five. She promised she’d wait. She didn’t. Jeon Jungkook was your first love, your high school sweetheart, and the boy you thought you’d marry someday. Before leaving to chase his dream of becoming a K-pop idol, you made a promise beneath the Christmas lights: three years apart, and then you’d find your way back to each other. But life had other plans. Five years later, Jungkook is finally home. Only this time, you’re no longer the girl waiting for him. You’re twenty-seven, happily engaged to someone who stayed, and planning a wedding of your own. He came home expecting familiar memories. He never expected an engagement ring. Some promises are made to last forever. Others come with an expiration date. And sometimes, the hardest part of coming home is realizing someone else already has your place.
