After you left the scene, you sat in the car silently, still processing the past couple minutes. Your eyes wouldn't look away and were stuck looking ahead at the road, nonchalantly.
You felt Jungkook glancing at you a couple times, watching over you. Waiting for you to say something or even just look back at him. You feed him with neither. You just weren't ready to mentally or physically move on from that moment, overplaying it in your mind knowing what could've happened to you and him today.
***
After a few minutes, Jungkook pulls up into an unknown house, way outskirts of the town. As soon as you enter the gate, you see that it is heavily guarded. You match your eye with few security guards as you keep entering in.
Just a few seconds before Jungkook parked the car, you notice a group of men standing at the house entrance, waiting for you. You then remember Jungkook making a brief phone call asking some people to be ready.
Those people start gathering and coming up close to the car as soon as it's parked.
"Step out" Jungkook commands you as he gets out of the car himself.
You look at him and the other people before following him out of the car. Registering the surroundings in, you couldn't stop looking around not knowing where you were. Although it does not take you long to understand that this place was nothing but their place to 'take care' of people and things.
"Here. Get that son of a bitch out of the car and take him to the black room"
Black room? You frown.
As he speaks that, he walks to you and his men follow his order quickly.
He comes up to you and stands close to you, with all his attention to you. His eyes first find for the small wound he spotted before, just above your eyebrow. His hand reaches up to it and his thumb caress the area around it.
"Does it hurt?" He finally looks in your eyes.
You connect your soft yet scared eyes with his fierce and assertive ones. You soon shake your head.
He notices that you still didn't want to speak. You watch his eyes tone down and soften a little.
One of his hands again travels up to your face, cupping your cheek while his eyes scan your face. Looking at you for a second more, he slowly pulls you in into his chest and wraps his arms around you, making you feel as secure as possible. He looks up at the sky pressing his eyes closed, blaming himself for what he got you into while caressing the back of your head with his hand, delicately.
The moment he does that, it feels so surprising yet relieving. Even in that chaos and horrible situation, it felt like everything was suddenly alright. All of your fear and anxiety just disappeared with his one touch. You started to calm down rapidly and feel light.
As you start to feel better, you give yourself to him, all of it and push yourself into him as much possible. Closing your eyes, you forget about everything and just feel his presence as much as possible because somewhere in the back of your mind you knew it wasn't going to last long.
"I'm sorry" he whispers quietly.
Listening to that, you open your eyes, breathing in his scent more and more. It's just then you realize that he didn't hug you to make you feel secure but because he was relieved that you were still alive and safe with him. He cares about you with all his heart for him to look so concerned. A small light of hope borns in your heart seeing his emotions being almost so palpable.
Maybe he does like you. Not like he likes other girls but has a soft spot for you that could turn into something much bigger.
As his squeeze gets tighter, you let go of your thoughts and live the moment knowing you will not be feeling this feeling anytime soon.
These are the type of things that make it so hard for you to not to feel for him like this.

He later, cleaned your wound for you and dressed it up with a bandaid, not letting anyone do it for him even after his lady staff insisted.
You were driving back home after an hour. It was a silent and peaceful ride in which you fell asleep almost after 10 minutes into it.
Jungkook had his eyes all over you while you were asleep. Something about his eyes changed knowing you'll never see them like that and that he can let his guard down with you not watching him. His eyes were dripping multiple emotions.
That night, Jungkook carried you up to his room and put you to sleep, swaddling you up like a baby, securely. He tried to sleep in the living room that night but he was wide awake thinking about what had happened earlier. It wasn't the first time for him being in such situations but first time with you in an almost deadly accident.
No one could understand Jungkook until today. His hyungs knew everything he felt but didn't have any answers as to why he was doing this to himself.
It was obvious he was keeping you away from him to keep you safe but only he knew how intolerable that was and how he had to train his heart to stop feeling the suffering. Now he was just stone cold within his heart but not completely. There was hope but it would take something very powerful to break him now. He knew how to keep himself in his control. Its his biggest strength. You on the other hand are always hopeful that he would come around someday. You're always desperate to see just one ounce of feelings for you in his eyes and today you did.

"Y/N" "Are you up?" You hear faint knocking which gradually started to get louder as you started to wake up.
"I'm coming in" Hyeyeon opens the unlocked door and peeks in to see if it was just you or Jungkook was there too.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know you were still asleep"
You look around to understand where you were. Realizing you were in Jungkook's room you couldn't help but murmur his name out slowly.
"Jungkook...."
"I thought he was in here with you" Hyeyeon speaks being confused.
"Hi" you finally settle down.
"Hey" Hyeyeon smiles hesitantly, yet relieved looking at you. "I heard" she rubs the skin below your wound delicately. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine" you answer touching your wound and recalling yesterday's incident. "I just feel a little exhausted"
"I brought you a fruit bowl and a healthy smoothie" she points at the night table with her eyes.
"Thank you" you rub her hand which was holding yours. "I don't know what I'd do without you"
"I love you, Y/N. I'm glad we have each other"
"Me too and I love you, more" you speak insisting on the word 'more'.
You both exchange smiles before you ask a question that shortens her smile. "It feels quiet. Where's everyone?"
"Ah" "You know Namjoon-ssi and Jin-ssi are always gone but the others are out handling things out from yesterday. They are-"
"Jin-ssi?" You frown at the name you've never heard before.
"You don't know Kim SeokJin?" She asks curiously.
As soon as you hear the whole name, the Jin you know pops in your head. You suddenly sit straight, all confused yet alerted.
"I've never. I always thought it was just these six together" "Can you tell me more about him?" You ask.
"I really don't know much about him. I just know that he is the one who everyone looks up to and is everyone's big brother figure" "He keeps them all together and was one of the first members of this group" "why do you ask?"
"I know someone with the same name" "Do you have a picture of him?"
"I do not and I don't think I've ever seen his picture around this house either"
"Oh"
"But" "He is coming to the dinner tonight. He wasn't going to at first but this morning after Yoongi-ssi called him, all I know is that he's taking first flight to Busan from wherever he is" "you'll get to see him then. He is coming here with his Fiancé"
Listening to that, you nod at her thinking it's just a coincidence because the Jin you know isn't engaged.
"I'll leave you alone now. Go take a shower and get ready. It's almost noon" she ruffles your hair before leaving you to yourself.
You smile at her as she leave and thank her for the food. After she leaves, you go back to thinking about yesterday and the guy who isn't in his room with you. You grab your phone, deciding to call him. You realize that this was the first time you were calling him ever. Staring at his phone number for a hot second, you call him with your heartbeats up in your throat.
"Y/N?"
"Jungkook?" Your eyes widen at him answering.
"You're up?"
"Yes"
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine"
"You never call" he sounded surprised and confused.
"You never gave me a reason to" you look down at your hand.
He goes silent for a few seconds listening to your words. "What's the reason you're calling now?"
"I...." "I was hoping to see you after waking up but you are gone"
He goes quiet again after hearing that. "I need to go"
"Oh" behind the little sound, you were sitting their heartbroken. Expecting him to say anything but that.
"I'll see you tonight at the dinner" saying that, he hangs up the call.
You sit there afraid thinking if he had gone back to being the Jungkook he is.
***
"You look nice" Hyeyeon compliments you as she walks out of the bathroom of your hotel room.
"Thanks" you scoff. "You need to get ready fast or else we're going to be late"
"On it, Ma'am" saying that she gets busy doing the same.
You look at yourself in the mirror, standing in a gorgeous coral pink backless satin dress, a pearl necklace and curled hair. Smiling at your reflection, you think of him. This was one of the days you don't get ready for yourself but someone else. The special someone else. You just wanted him to look at you. You were desperate, afraid yet hopeful. This could be a the start to something you've always looking forward to, to something that has always kept you up at night.
