"Why was he acting like that?" You wondered as you opened the door to your apartment and walked in.

The lights of your living room were already switched on as you never turned them off. Plopping yourself down on the sofa and leaning back, you thought about what might be the reason behind Jungkook's strange behaviour earlier.

Why did he want you to leave the bus stop? You had gone there to clear your mind after all the things you did this morning at work. Thinking about that, you were really nervous for what you were going to do tomorrow.

Getting lost in your thoughts, you had no idea when your eyes feel shut. Also, you had no idea that the lights went out after sometime. You were just sleeping peacefully.

Jungkook climbed up the steps to your apartment.

"Looks like the power went off" Jungkook guessed upon noticing how it was dark everywhere in the building. He turned the flashlight of his phone on and walked towards your apartment. Just then he noticed the door -you forgot to close- was open.

Jungkook went closer and his eyes fell on your sleeping figure. A smiled formed on his face upon seeing you look so adorable. He was deliberating on whether he should knock on your door and wake you up or close the door and leave.

Just when he was about to close the door, he heard your voice

"No" you whispered in your sleep

Jungkook opened the door further to see if it was meant for him.

"Please no" you uttered with your eyes pressed shut

Jungkook looked at you concerned.

"Stop it!!" You raised your voice

"Don't hurt him!! No!!"

That's it, Jungkook thought and quickly walked in.

"Y/N" he softly spoke

"No no no, please leave him." You uttered.

"Y/N" Jungkook shook you by your shoulders "Wake up"

And you did but was met with the darkness and in that moment it literally felt like you were back in time and were at the exact place you were at that  night of November 2010

"NO NO NO" You shouted, shutting your ears as if you were able to hear something that was hurting you.

"Y/N, I'm here. Jungkook." He assured you

It was like his voice pulled you out of your terrifying thoughts cause the next thing you knew was you quickly wrapping your arms around Jungkook to gain some comfort.

"Jungkook"

"Hey, calm down. I'm here." Jungkook said, quickly hugging you back after noticing how you were shivering.

You were breathing heavily.

"Let's get you out of here." Jungkook said. Gently he pushed you away and told you follow him.

You somehow walked out of the apartment but it was difficult to see anything in dark, not to mention how your breathing hastened after not being able to see anything.

Jungkook noticed it. He quickly approached you and took your hand in his, giving it an assuring squeeze.

"Let's go." He whispered

You closed your eyes and opened them again, trying to focus only on Jungkook's proximity radiating comfort.

As soon as you were out of the building, Jungkook let go of your hand and turned around to meet your gaze. Upon seeing your teary eyes, he felt a pang in his chest. He felt an urge to protect you from the world.

You wander your gaze here and there, sighing in relief after seeing some solar street lights illuminating in the dark.

"Let's take a seat" he suggested, pointing at a desk nearby.

You gave a nod and took a seat beside him.

"Deep breaths for me" he said, sounding worried

You followed his order and took some deep breaths.

"Better?" He asked

"Hmm"

"It was just a nightmare, hm?" Jungkook tried to comfort you, rubbing his hands on your shoulders

"You are here" you noted

"I am" Jungkook smiled.

You swore it was some kind of magic cause your heartbeat quickly calmed down upon seeing his soft smile

"Thank you"

"No need to thank me" he said, removing his hand from you shoulder, making you already miss his comforting touch.

Just then the street lit with more brightness, indicating the power was back.

"Sorry for coming here even though it's past midnight."

"Don't be stupid. I would've died if you weren't here." You chuckled

"Was it that bad? The nightmare I mean" he asked

"I have it like almost every night but this one became more scary because of the darkness." You revealed. "It just... felt so real" you said, wiping your almost dried tears.

"Why? Why do you have the same nightmare every night?" He wanted to know

"Huh?" You were taken aback by that question

"Sorry. I shouldn't have asked. You don't have to-

"It's okay. It's just... I see something that happened in my past. A traumatic experience you could say."

Even though a part within Jungkook wanted to know what it was, he decided not to ask further.

"Anyways, why did you want to meet me?" You asked, trying to change the topic. You really didn't want to think about it.

Shit

Jungkook forgot he had said he wanted to meet you on the phone call. Now, he had no excuse so he just said the first thing that came in his mind

"I missed you"

"What?" You raised your eyebrows in surprise with your cheeks heating up.

Jungkook quickly brought his hand in front of his mouth after realizing what he had just said.

"I mean... I can explai-

He was cut off by the sound of your gasp

"Jungkook, your wrist" you pointed. "It's bleeding"

Oh right

Thanks to that damn kidnapper, he thought

"Let's get you treated" you uttered, wrapping your hand around his other wrist and pulling him up.

"I'm okay, Y/N" he said

"Shut up"

Jungkook chuckled at that and let you drag him into your apartment.

"Sit here" you ordered, pointing at the sofa in your living room

After finding the first aid box in your bedroom, you came back and sat on the coffee table.

"Give me your hand" you ordered, fishing out a cotton pad and antiseptic.

Thankfully the cut wasn't that deep. You cleared the blood with the cotton pad and applied some antiseptic. Taking out a bandaid tape, you applied it on his wound.

Jungkook reached for the hair falling on your face and pushed it back with his other hand.

Your heart started to beat faster at the way it felt like he was caressing your hair.

Suddenly, you pressed your thumb lightly on his wound, enough to make him let out a cry in pain.

"Ouch! What was that for?" He asked

"What is this?" You asked, pointing at the wound.

"I don't know how that happened" he lied.

"It looks like it was cut by a knife. Can't you be a little careful?" You squinted your eyes at him.

"Y/N" he chuckled. "It's alright. It's not that bad."

"You sure?" You doubted him as you got up on your feet to keep the box back but Jungkook quickly grabbed your wrist and turned you around, making you bend forward with his face so close to yours.

"Don't you trust me?" He whispered

You gulped a lump in your throat.

Jungkook noticed the way you were clearly blushing which made him curve his lips in a smirk.

"Shut up" you said, pulling your wrist back and rushing towards the bedroom

"Cute" he commented

"Why did you call me earlier?" He asked as soon as you came back.

"Oh that... " you trailed off

"Hm, what is it?" He asked once again

"I wanted to... ask you if you'd be able to come tomorrow to work" you revealed.

"I know you said you were going to take a break this whole week." You uttered upon seeing Jungkook open his mouth to say something.

"Is it something important?" He inquired

"Kinda. All I can say is that I'm going to do something big on tomorrow's broadcast, so I want you to be there with me to... support me?" You said, hesitating a little

Jungkook gave it a thought for a while. "Okay, I'll be there" he decided

"Really?" You asked, sounding excited

"Hm. Since you need me that much." He teased

"You know what? Just get up and leave already" you said, pointing at the door

"Ouch" Jungkook acted like he was hurt by your harsh treatment.

Why is this man so playful today? You thought

"Get up" you ordered which Jungkook followed

As soon he was out of your apartment, you spoke "Just don't be late tomorrow and get home safe. Goodbye"

And with that, you shut the door close.
