❝ 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐈 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭.❞
They say 'When life gives you lemons, make lemonade out of it' but do they ever let you know that lemons are not naturally available on Earth, they are commercially produced by cross-breeding citrons and oranges. In short, life doesn't give us lemons, we make lemons in our lives. It's not always possible that things end up the way we wish them to, after all, destiny has a weird timetable which is not on our side.
Jungkook called his little sister, Emma and tried to ask her about the contact of his friends but his hopes turned futile when the call hung up from the other side.
"Emma, can you give me their contact-" He was trying to speak further but the phone's battery struck dead, making him release a sigh and close his eyes in frustration. He immediately searched for a charger but it was of a new version, which couldn't be used to charge his device dated a twelve years old model. He sighed in disbelief and then peeked at the Calista, who was as worried as him.
"Let's just wait for them." She huffed out a breath and affirmed in a calm voice, fully aware there is no use of being anxious, as nothing seemed to working on their side. The nodded, making his way towards the walk in closet, as he took a glance at the girl's clothes, she was still in the hospital clothes.
He picked up a random black shirt and a pair of grey pants that'll be comfortable for sleeping. He even searched for any women's clothing but he couldn't find one and so, having no choice in hand, he picked up a black T-shirt and a pair of shorts, which most probably belonged to the future Jungkook, for Calista.
Momentarily, he walked out of the closet wearing a new set of comfortable clothes and walked towards the girl, who sat blankly on the bed.
"Um... you should probably change, there wasn't any women's clothing so yeah." He shrugged whilst handing her the set of clothes and she held it, trying to move but once again her legs as her hands trembled and the clothes fell from her hands. With no choice in hand and to not make things anymore awkward, she shook her head in denial.
"It's alright, I'll sleep just like this," She affirmed but he stood still on his point because he knew it was very uncomfortable to sleep in the stink of hospital clothes.
"S-should I help? I'll just turn off the lights. I swear I-I'm not t-taking any ad-advantange." He spoke up in a robot-like voice, stammering and trying his best to sound sane. With no choice in hand, the girl agreed with a flustered face, her cheeks flushed up to crimson realising the awkwardness in the air and she looked everywhere but him.
He slowly turned off the lights and took a deep breath, mustering up all his courage as he strolled towards her. This was his first time touching a woman, that too, his longtime crush. He didn't want to make her uncomfortable with his touch but the situation they were in, everything was going south.
He let out a breath which he didn't know he was holding for so long and steadily, removed her clothing and she placed her hand on his torso, so that she doesn't slip off from the position. Her heart paced at a high speed and a zoo aroused in her gut, as he gulped a thick lump forming in his throat. He removed the last piece of her clothing and then very carefully made her wear the shirt and the shorts delicately, taking care not to touch any of her injuries or anywhere intimate.
As he was done with his work he turned on the lights and an embarrassed, flushed up Calista came into view. Usually, she would be an incorrigible chatterbox and he would listen to her every word, but in this situation, it felt like her lips were zipped. He too was reddened like a tomato and they both felt like the ground should open up and swallow them.
"I'm sorry if it was uncomfortable." He apologized, sincerely and took a few steps away from her, giving her some space to breathe.
"It's-it's alright." She muttered and he nodded, walking towards the couch to sleep.
She gazed at his figure and the uncontrollable churning inside her stomach wasn't halting either. As usual, all the blame was confidently put to the hormones.
'These darn hormones! Get a grip Choi Calista!' She mentally slapped herself for thinking weird things.

Morning came up sooner than expected and the two individuals woke up by the bright sunlight basking through the windows. Jungkook couldn't get a wink of sleep throughout the entire night. It was only in the early hours of the morning that his eyes closed for a couple of hours and the girl, on the other side, slept peacefully because of the high dose medicines.
Calista slowly stirred open her eyes as she tried to stop the bright sunlight from reaching her eyes with the help of her, but her efforts came to vain as it didn't help much. Momentarily, she got up in her position with a little groan, getting up from the fluffy comforter and the first thing she saw was Jungkook's face.
His hair was disheveled and his eyes barely open, his long veiny hands contrasted with how innocent he looked and sounded. Bunny boy rubbed his eyes trying to have a clear view of the front.
"Morning." There came her soothing voice and a small smile crept upon his face as he heard her. The beautiful morning look of hers, surely had him on an edge.
Soon, he got up from his position and walked towards the girl whilst checking the red timer on his wrist.
"It shows twenty four hours more." The girl nodded and was about to say something, but got interrupted with a knock on the door, soon followed by the maid who respectfully bowed towards them.
"I apologize for the disturbance but Mr. Park and Mr. Kim, along with their wives are here and they're requesting to see you as soon as possible." The maid informed them and their eyes dazzled with hope.
Calista instantly tried to get up from the bed and run towards her friends, but her efforts turned futile because the pain was still evident in her legs.
"Ack!" She groaned, annoyed and in no time, Jungkook scooped her up in his arms, without letting her speak a word and walked downstairs with a flustered Calista in his arms.
They all got up from the couch and ran towards the couple, perplexity evident on their faces.
"Calista! Are you alright?!" Ruby questioned as Jungkook carefully placed the girl on the couch. She huffed out an annoyed breath as she replied to her friends.
"I don't know what sort of serious accident this future Calista got into that all her bones feel as if they're crushed!" The girl gritted her teeth in frustration and they all looked at each other and yelled in unison.
"F-future Calista?!"
"Wait. You guys too...? You're transmigrated, are you?!" Taehyung glanced at the couple and they nodded in affirmation. They all breathed a sigh of relief as they realized they weren't the only ones caught up in this sickening 'game'.
"I missed you guys so much!" Calista uttered, sobbing. This whole situation was truly, too much for her to handle and the girls pulled her into a small group hug until their little reunion came to an end by the screeching voice of a toddler, whom they forgot to notice amongst all the commotion.
"Momma! I'm hungry!" The loud voice of the toddler caught everyone's attention, as he ran up to Ruby and she along with Taehyung sighed, internally rolling her eyes, as if preparing themselves for the teasing that was upcoming.
"Taeho, you can ask that aunt there, she'll make your favorite dishes." Taehyung blurted out, pointing towards the maid and tried to shoo the kid away because Ruby was still in disbelief that she's going to be the mother of Taehyung's child, in the very future. The kid nodded and happily ran towards the kitchen, leaving the elders alone, their mouths agape unable to grasp the revelation they just saw.
"Is that your kid?" Jungkook asked Taehyung and he nodded in agreement earning a gasp from Calista, soon followed by a smirk from the two of them.
"Daebak! He looks exactly like a little version of you and Ruby." She pointed at the couple and Ruby's cheeks flushed up to crimson.
"Shut it, Calista! We're in the future, twelve years later but we're still mentally eighteen years old, so let's talk like a university student." Ruby suggested and everyone nodded but a sly teasing smirk couldn't leave their faces as they saw Taeho.
Ruby lightly nudged Jena's arm to make her stop from teasing and Taehyung shot the darkest glare towards Jungkook and Jimin, who were busy smirking.
