Chapter Eleven: Burdened

"Ughh." I groaned tiredly as my hands subconsciously lifted to my eyes, lighting massaging them. In an attempt to ease my tired state. Dark circles have made a permanent indent on my face and my energy levels have gone down to an all-time low.

"(Y/N)~." I hear Jungkook call but pause mid-sentence.

"Yeah?" I weakly replied.

"What happened to you?" He inquired, worry taking over his previous joyful tone.

"Huh, what do you mean? Is there something on my face?" I tiredly sat up from my seat and patted my face, squishing my cheeks lightly.

"No there is nothing wrong." He quickly responded. I frowned with confusion.

"Then what's wrong?" He sighed deeply before taking a seat next to me. He technically was not sitting next to me, more like hovering on the seat beside me. My eyes panned his figure up and down as the atmosphere fell silent. I frowned as he faces tensed and relaxed.

"(Y/n), be honest with me." He suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. 

"Sure?" I agreed in a more questioning tone than a statement. I leaned in closer to his figure with curiosity.

"Do you think I am a burden to your life?" He spoke as his eyes opened, turning his gaze from in front of him to straight towards me. This took me back and I was speechless for a few seconds, not knowing what to reply with. He looked dead straight into my eyes which made my confused expression soften. I could see the worry in his eyes.

"No, what makes you say that?" I smiled in an attempt to lighten the tense atmosphere.

"Tell me, when was the last time you ate after beginning investigating my case?" I blinked a couple of times as I tried to recall the last time I actually did.

"This morning, I had a bowl of fruit?" I thought aloud.

"And how many hours of sleep have you had for the past week?" 

"I don't know, why are you asking~?" I frowned as I begun to get frustrated because I could not answer his odd and random questions.

"That is exactly my point, ever since you accepted my case, you have been staying up and out all night doing research, not even taking time to take care of yourself." He pointed out. I sat there dumbfounded. Having my mouth hung open for a few seconds like a goldfish. I smiled softly and denied his statement.

"No Jungkook you are not a burden, I am doing this because I want to help you, not because you're forcing me, you asked me nicely and I agreed to help, therefore you aren't," I reassured him. "Trust me, I am a pretty terrible sleeping, I have these tired phases all the time."

"If you are seriously tired just tell me, I don't want you to waste time with a dead case." He sighed.

"It's not dead and I'm not wasting time, some cases just take a bit more time to investigate or get started but you just have to keep pushing through." I turned my gaze from him to the window and watch the scenery flash by at a rapid pace. "I accepted your case and the (l/n) never gives up a case just ask my father, I will solve your case and that's a promise." I spoke determinedly.

"Just don't overwork yourself." He made sure to make me say aloud.

"Yes, I won't." I chirped. A cute smile made its way into his face after hearing me out. I went to grab something in my bag only to hear my phone ring. What a coincidence, I thought. I grab it out of my bag and accepted the call.

"Hey Namjoon what's up?" I spoke into the phone. 

"I have some good news." I hear him say on the other line. Jungkook perked up and instantly placing his ear next to the phone, to listen in to our conversation.

"What is it?" I inquired as excitement begun to boil inside of me.

"We may have found the location of Dou." Namjoon happily announced into the phone. Without hesitation, I stood up from my seat and jumped up and down like a child. 

"MAY OF," Namjoon yelled over the phone as I did my little happy dance.

"I live on may of's, thank you! Meet up tomorrow?" I chirped over the phone. I turned my head to see Jungkook, he had a bright grin on his face.

"Yep, lunch?"  I eagerly nodded into the phone and Namjoon chuckled. 

"Bye Namjoon~." I was about to hang up the phone until I hear Namjoon call for me over the line.

"Hold on (y/n)!"

"Yes?" I spoke into the phone once again, taking a seat back down.

"I was wondering, that is if we~."

"What's up Joon?" I smiled into the phone, slightly giddy from the good news.

"Notsayingwebelieveyoubutcanwemeetjungkook?" I hear quickly say over the phone.

"Ahh, I don't think you can, I don't think anyone else can see him." I admitted.

"I know but we can see if he's holding stuff or something along those lines." Namjoon tried to reason.

"I'll ask him for you, if he says yes how about we plan on the train back to my place." I offered.

"Sure, message me late?"

"Of course, bye Namjoon." I hear him bid farewell over the phone before I hang up and face Jungkook. 

"What happened?"  Jungkook asked with anticipation.

"Okay two things." I held my hand out to hold out two fingers and he nodded, gesturing me to continue. "One, we might have a lead to the whereabouts of the guys." I smiled happily. I watched as his face lights up with hope and joy. I paused before asking Jungkook the question. I mean I know he is pretty open and a playful ghost, he isn't afraid to show others that he exists. Which was proven when he messed around with the girls a week or so ago. I just didn't know if he would be comfortable with meeting Yoongi and Namjoon. I guess we will have to wait and see. "Two, Namjoon and Yoongi was wondering if they could meet you?" I nervously said. He froze for a second, staring straight at me. Causing me to nervously look around and a light tint of pink flash across my face. He continued to lean closer and closer and I nervously took a step back. I watched as his left eyes began to twitch before he burst into laughter. 

"Of course they can." He managed to say in between his laughter. I frowned and look away from him with an annoyed expression. "You should have seen the look on your face." He clutched his stomach with laughter. I crossed my arms and pouted.

"Not funny." I hissed. "You really scared me, I really thought you weren't going to let them meet you or something." 

"And I swear I saw a tint of pink make an appearance, did I make you blush?" He teased.

"STOP." I huffed.

"Now arriving at anyang station."

"Bye." I managed to say as my jaws clenched together. I hear him chuckled before saying goodbye as well. The next time he pulls that on me, I swear I am going to put him in pain and I don't care if people tell me it's impossible, I will find I way.
