•Fourty-Eight
"So . . . How long did you cry?" Jimin inquires with a teasing smirk. Your cheeks redden as you puff out your right cheek.
"S-shut up!" You grumble embarrassed as you look out the car window.
"What? It's a genuine question!" Jimin exclaims innocently. You roll your eyes and cross your arms. Both you and your brother were driving back to the hospital.
Finally, Jimin was successful in taking you home to take care of your hygiene, but with Jungkook's help of course. You'd refused to leave him but he said he was fine and you know will be because the rest of the guys are there. But you couldn't help feeling a little worried.
You let out a groan, "Can you drive any slower?" You grumble sarcastically.
"Hey, I'm going five miles over the speed limit," Jimin points out.
"Well can you go like . . . Ten?"
"Jisun, we're almost there," Jimin chuckles lightly noticing your impatience. You start pout as you sit in silence glaring out the window.
Your brother was driving like a grandma, can't he see that you need to be at Jungkook's side??
Jimin glances to you, his mind occupied with one certain question. Yet, he wasn't sure if he was right of him to ask. Although you're his baby sister, it's okay, right?
He continues to gaze in your direction with a troubling expression. You try to ignore it as you shift uncomfortably in your seat. No matter how focused you are on the traffic you can still feel his stare boring into you.
"Alright!" You shout abruptly causing Jimin to swerve the car in surprise.
"What is it?"
"What are you talking about?" Jimin asks with wide eyes on the road.
"You keep staring like you want to say something," you point out. "What is it?"
Jimin hesitates and presses lips together. Letting out a sigh, Jimin realizes he has to let the cat out of the bag. "Jisun, we need to have a talk."
Your eyes widen in fear and you vigorously shake your head. "Oh no, Jimin, please! I'm twenty-two!" You groan in embarrassment.
"I know how to use protection!"
Confused, Jimin furrows his brows wondering what you're talking about. When he realizes that you took his words the wrong way Jimin sticks out his tongue in disgust.
"What? No, not that type of talk, stupid!" He shouts with a heavy blush.
"Who're you calling stupid? It's not my fault that I took the wrong way!" You grumble in annoyance. You were relieved knowing you won't have to hear your brother's stork story again.
Jimin shakes his head with a sigh. "I want to talk about you and Jungkook," he admits.
Quickly your mood drops and you began to pout. "What about it?" You mutter.
"Well," Jimin starts awkwardly. "You like him, right?"
You coughed instantly as your cheeks flush wildly. He got straight to the point, didn't he? He didn't even bother easing into the question. You clear your throat as you began to fumble with the buttons on your jacket.
"Um, w-well . . ."
You wondered if you should tell Jimin the truth. You were leaning close to no due to his big mouth and tendency to joke around too much.
On the other hand, you were dying to talk to someone. You needed advice desperately. You trust Jimin, despite his childish behavior.
"Well, what?" Jimin prods.
"I like him." You blurt out while sinking down in your seat burning in embarrassment. You awaited for Jimin's jokes or teasing, but nothing came.
Hesitatingly you glance at him and saw a knowing smirk plastered on his face. "I knew it," he says proudly.
You blink in bewilderment. "H--how?" You sputtered.
Jimin sighs, "Oh come now, Jisun. You've always acted like you're his girlfriend."
You don't respond as you chewed your bottom lip. You never realized you acted such away. You've always you were just being a friend.
"I--I do not!" You stammer with your arms crossed.
"It's okay, Jisun," Jimin chuckles. "I think it's great you like Jungkook. If you guys date then I truly support it."
You raise a brow, "Really? You said the same thing when you found out I liked Taehyung."
Jimin's mood suddenly dampens at the name and he starts glower. "That's different. He's an ass," he says curtly.
"You and Jungkook have a connection and it's a great one. You guys don't even have fights!"
You don't answer and start to frown. That was a lie, that five days ago was still fresh on your mind. Jimin notices your hesitance and his smiles falter.
"Right?" He repeats warily.
You shake your head and sigh. "Jimin, we actually got into one five days ago."
Jimin's eyes widen in curiosity, he knew something was up. "Do you want to talk about it?" He inquires.
Slowly you nod, "Just don't mention this to anyone. Got it? Or you'll wish that small chili pepper of yours was microscopic."
Jimin shudders at the thought with his skin turning white. "Y-yes ma'am!"
\/\/\/\/
Once you finish telling Jimin everything he was in a loss of words. It was just too much happening in a matter of a few days. He was perplexed when he heard about what happened that night. It explains everything.
You arrived at the hospital but stay in the parked car. You watch him lean back with his arms crossed. Jimin lets out a sigh.
"Jisun, what the hell were you thinking? Why would you ditch Jungkook?"
"I don't know, Jimin!" You say with an exasperated sigh. "I need help!"
"Alright, alright just calm down," Jimin says. "You love him, right?"
The words were forward and blunt that it caused you to stiffen in response.
"Y-yes," you mumble. "More than anything."
Jimin nods, "Then go and tell him again."
"I can't do that! Were you not listening!?" You exclaim with your hands raised. "I can't tell him again!"
"Oh, yes you will!" Jimin says sternly. "You're going to march your butt to his room and explain everything. That is the only way you guys can get over this fight."
You glare at your brother who also glared back. You didn't want to continue this fight with Jungkook. You're afraid he might go into another cardiac arrest.
But believe it or not, Jimin's right. The only way you two can get past this is to talk. You started to awe at just thinking about it.
"Okay," you sigh in defeat. "I'll talk to him."
Jimin nods in approval, "You go do that."
You nod and silently exit the car but Jimin stops you by grabbing your wrist. You look back with a questioning stare.
"By the way, whatever you and Taehyung have right now, end it." He orders. "We both know it's a waste of time getting involved with a guy like him."
Again, you nod silently and Jimin lets you go. You close the door and walk into the hospital. Your hands started to shake as you begin to think of ways how this conversation could badly.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Your feet were frozen in place as you stood in front of the door that leads to Jungkook's room. Nervousness begins to pulse through your veins as your mind starts to fill with uncertainty.
Maybe you shouldn't do this, Jungkook was still recovering and you weren't about to cause another cardiac arrest. You chew your bottom lip with your brows furrowed.
No, you have to talk to him. You need him to know. You take in a deep breath and slowly slide the door open. You then hear soft murmurs and see the guys standing on one side of Jungkook's bed.
They all quickly shut their mouths when they turn to you. You pay no mind to them as your eyes were solely on Jungkook.
"Hey," you greet softly.
Jungkook swallows, "Hey."
Recognizing the tension building between you two Jin loudly clears his throat. You turn to with an apologetic smile. "Sorry, can I have a minute with Jungkook?"
"Oh yeah! We were just leaving anyway!" Jin exclaims.
Yoongi raises a brow, "We were?"
"Yes," Jin answers tightly as he gives Yoongi a look.
Finally understanding the situation Yoongi's mouth forms in an 'o' shape. Silently all the boys begin to shuffle out the room with the door sliding close behind them.
The room became silent with you biting your lip nervously and Jungkook looking down at the white sheets with his fingers fumbling with it. Without saying a word you walk towards the side of the bed and sit on the chair.
"How are you feeling?" You ask.
"Good," Jungkook answers.
An awkward tension settled between you both and caused you to shift in your seat. Jungkook lifts his head and stares at you with questioning eyes.
You stare at his beautiful doe eyes that barely had that glint of a carefree boy. His eyes seemed older and distant, it made you feel alone. Quickly you look away and focus on your hands upon your lap.
Tell him! Your brains screams. It's not hard! Letting out a breath you open your mouth to speak.
"I need you to talk to you!"
You stare at Jungkook in surprise as he does the same. You realized you both talked in unison. You both look away awkwardly with nervous smiles.
"Ah, you go," Kook insists nervously.
Timidly you nod and look back, "Um, it's about that night," you inform quietly.
Jungkook stiffens at your words but nonetheless stays silent for you to continue.
You let out a shaky breath, "I'm just so sorry for what I did to you. It wasn't right, I was being selfish and stupid. I didn't want to ditch you, it's just that Taehyung needed help on something and I couldn't leave him alone."
Jungkook thinks over your words before nodding. "If that's the case why did it look like you two were on a date?" He questions softly.
Your body stiffens for you had no explanation. He was right, maybe you two were on one that's what it felt like to you after all. You let out a sigh with the shake of your head.
"Jungkook, I swear to you, it wasn't. I would never ever do that to you."
Confused Junglook slowly turns to you with his brows furrowed. "What do you mean by that? You've always loved Taehyung, that's what it seemed like ever since you came back." He says. "You love him."
You don't respond and stare at Jungkook with disagreement in your eyes. Your lips form into a frown leaving Jungkook in a state of uncertainty.
"Right?"
You stare at him for a moment longer unresponsive. Your mind wanders to the times spent with Taehyung, the moments you had, the kiss you shared.
You knew it meant nothing to you, it shouldn't. Those things you've done, you regret them greatly.
Jungkook was the one. Not Taehyung.
Slowly a small smile breaks your frown as your heart leaps nervously. You straighten your back in hopes of gaining confidence.
"Jungkook," you whisper ever so softly that Jungkook had to lean a little closer. "I don't love him. It's you I love."
Jungkook gives you a blank stare, his eyes were clouded as he processes your words. You said that before he didn't believe it then. There was no way he could, but now as he sees you looking at him genuinely he knew it had to be true.
His heart rate picks up and you could hear the monitors' beep becoming unsteadily fast. You suddenly stand in worry.
"Jungkook your heart rate it's---"
"It's fine, Jisun," Jungkook assures quickly.
You look at him with wide eyes. "What?"
"I'm okay," he clarifies while grabbing your hand gently for you to sit.
You settle down at the edge of his bed with your hand clasped in his. You stare at the entwined hands while you bite your bottom lip.
"Tell me," Jungkook whispers after a momentary silence. "Tell me that's the truth."
You look up at him to see his eyes glint in a plea. You can see his body tense up as it seems that he was holding his breath. Your eyes lit up in confidence as your smile once more.
"Yes," you breathe and squeeze his hand. "I truly love you."
Jungkook felt as though the wind was knocked out of him as he heard your words. You love him. You truly do.
This one-sided painful love he endured wasn't all for nothing. His love was finally returned. He wasn't the only one in love anymore and it made him feel as though he was on cloud nine.
You watch Jungkook's reaction for he hasn't said a word for two whole minutes. It worried you and your smile suddenly slips away.
"I-I'm sorry," you mumble quickly. "I shouldn't have said that."
You try to pull your hand away but Jungkook tightens his grip the best he could in his weakened state.
"Don't . . ." He whispers. "Don't apologize."
You look at him puzzled trying to figure what was going on in his mind.
"I've been wanting to hear that, you know. I've been wanting to hear you say that for so long," he breathes.
"Jungkook, what are you saying?"
His eyes glint in happiness and thrill for his heart has finally been accepted. His lips turn up into his beautiful bunny smile.
"Jisun, I'm also in love with you."
Your breath gets caught in your throat for you had no words. Not for a second did you think he would say that. Jungkook sees your reaction and lets out a chuckle.
"Were you not expecting that?"
You breathe out an airy chuckle of disbelief. "N-no, it's just that . . . you love me back."
Jungkook's smile widens. "Yes, and I always have, Jisun. I'm truly and deeply in love with you."
Your heart beats at an abnormal rate as you try to keep your unsteady breathing under control. Excitement ran through your veins for you didn't think this was going to happen. It took your breath away.
You were relieved and happy, your smile turns into a grin. You look away suddenly self-conscious with your cheeks heating up.
"I--I can't believe this," you whisper happily.
Jungkook's smile widens. "So can't I."
His prayer was finally answered, his life was somehow getting better considering how things are looking for him. Jungkook was overjoyed by your confession that the beeping on the monitor starts to increase.
You couldn't help but giggle, "Seems like you're really happy about this."
Jungkook chuckles sheepishly. "Why wouldn't I be? The most beautiful woman in the world just told me she loved me."
