10
Jungkook was able to easily get a place to live. Sure, it didn't have heating and the stoves barely worked, but no one could trace him here.
Today he would spend alone, just like any other day, but today it hurt a lot more. Every year he looked forward to this day. Presents, food, family, and friends all made today amazing.
Today was December 25th, not Christmas. At least, not to Jungkook, because instead of presents he woke up to the roof leaking because of the snow. Instead of food, he saw that his food supply was gone and he had to get more. Instead of family or friends he was reminded that most of them were dead.
Today was not jolly and if Santa decided to come down his chimney Jungkook was prepared to knock him out just to get his warm jacket.
Maybe prison would have been better.
Currently Jungkook was kicking the stove out of frustration because it decided that it would not work at all today, but he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
All color drained from Jungkook's face as he stared at the door mid-kick. He held his breath and didn't move a muscle. Another knock on the door made Jungkook properly think about the situation.
He looked to the stove, stuck his tongue out at it and decided that prison would be so much better.
He flung the door open, put his arms out and closed his eyes as he looked up to the ceiling.
"Take me now!" He yelled, prepared for the harsh metal of handcuffs to tighten around his wrists. When nothing happened Jungkook opened one eye to see what the hold up was, but was only greeted by a petite girl.
"Pathetic." She muttered as she pushed him aside and made herself comfortable on Jungkook's disgusting couch.
"And you are?" He asked as he narrowed his eyes at her.
"Merry Christmas to you too." She said.
"What are you? A spy? A police officer? Are you with the FBI?"
"A Christmas miracle!" She said with fake enthusiasm
"That's great. Now get out." He said, losing interest and trying to show her to the door.
"Hey! Give me a chance! You don't even know my name!" She screeched as she resisted Jungkook's firm grip on her waist. Jungkook sighed and put her down to face him.
"Fine, then tell me your name." Jungkook eyed her with his arms crossed. With the short moment of silence he was able to analyze her appearance.
The girl's hair stopped a little bit above her shoulders and was probably dyed to a darker and shinier black. She wore a nicely fitting leather jacket with a nirvana shirt. She also wore light blue ripped jeans with plain black converse. Simple, but cute.
"Jina." She had her arms crossed as she tried to imitate Jungkook's posture.
"That's great! Now get out." He said, pointing to the opened door.
"Oh come on!" She said, throwing her hands up in the air to emphasize her frustration. Jungkook only narrowed his eyes at her. "Fine." She huffed. "I guess not everyone wants a second chance." She sighed as she slowly turned around, trying to interest him with the mystery of the second chance.
"Second chance for what?" He asked, clearly intrigued. She smiled as she turned around; knowing her trick had worked.
"Life." She whispered.
"You're crazy." He said, shaking his head and trying to push her out the door again.
She resisted and instead, tried to touch his forehead.
"What are you doing?" He asked as he jumped out of her reach.
"Come here!" She yelled while she chased him.
"What is wrong with you lady?!" He yelled as he ran from her. Then, as if in slow motion, she lunged for him and pinned him to the ground. "Get off of me!" Jungkook yelled as he squirmed.
Then she put her index and her middle finger to his forehead.
Jungkook took in a sharp breath of air as he sat upright in his bed. He looked to his surroundings and found himself back in the dorm. He was still looking around when Taehyung barged in.
"We're going to the beach!" Taehyung screamed as he jumped onto Jungkook.
"What?" Jungkook looked at Taehyung weirdly. "Taehyung?" Jungkook asked as he reached out to Taehyung.
"Why are you acting so weird? Come on! Get up!" Taehyung yelled, shaking Jungkook. Taehyung then got off of Jungkook and skipped out of the room.
Jungkook quickly pushed the covers off of himself and walked into the living room where all the members were getting ready. Jungkook decided that this had to be a dream and that that Jina girl probably was a spy and just knocked him out.
"Please, don't just stand there Jungkook. Get ready. Jin is getting ready to meet us there and if you don't get ready he'll be there before us." Namjoon scolded.
"Jin?" Jungkook asked. "Jin!" Jungkook yelled as he realized his second chance.
He ran out of the dorm and called Jin over and over again, only getting his voicemail. Abandoning the calling task, he ran back inside to get car keys.
The car keys were on the table next to the door, so the minute he burst in through the door he located them. He grabbed the keys, but as he turned around to get to the car and save Jin, he faced Jina.
His eyes widened and he examined his surroundings. He was back at his horrible apartment that probably violated all health codes. He looked down at his hand that had held the keys, finding it empty.
"What did you do?!" He yelled at Jina.
"Teaser." She said as she walked past him.
"Where are the keys?! Where is Jin? Why am I back here?" He asked, tears welling up in his eyes as he frantically asked questions.
"I don't give people second chances because I pity them. They pay." She said coldly as she crossed her arms across her chest and stared at him.
"What do you want then? I don't have anything." He said. He looked down at his feet and the molding hardwood floor. His arms that had become to heavy to hold up, resting at his sides.
"Answers." She said.
His head shot up, "I'll give you anything.". His eyes filled with hope and his heart stopped aching.
"How did you do it?" She asked, narrowing her eyes.
"Do what?"
"Change time! How did you stop the loop?" She stepped closer to him, shoving her face close to his.
"What are you even talking about?" He asked.
"Jin! Don't act stupid!" She yelled, holding onto Jungkook's collar in her small fist.
"What does Jin have to do with this?" He asked.
"Everything, you imbecile!" She yelled tightening her grip.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" He yelled back.
"The time loop! You stopped it and you better tell me how!" She yelled.
"I don't know!" He said closing his eyes and turning his head away from her.
"Fine." She huffed and pushed him to the ground. She turned to leave, but not before Jungkook had a grip on her ankle.
"Wait! Please. Send me back. Give me a second chance." He pleaded.
"Let me go." She tugged her foot out of his grip.
"Please! I'll give you anything I have."
"You have no idea about what you did, do you?" She growled as she sharply turned around.
"No?" It wasn't supposed to be a question, but it came out like one.
"Then good luck figuring out the rest." She growled again as she pushed her index and middle finger onto his forehead.
