Born For You - JK X Reader

☞ Chapter 9 ☜

For those who didn't read the last chapter:
Y/n injured her ankle, and this is mainly the topic for this chapter.

Jungkook slowly placed y/n on his sofa. He brought a blanket and started to drape it over her, but noticed her ankle. It was red, swollen, and bleeding.

"..How bad is it? Should we go to the hospital?"

"It hurts a lot.. but I don't think I need to go to the hospital," she bit her lip in pain.

"Oh.. I'm going to go buy some medicine. Can I leave you alone here for a while?"

Y/n sat up. "Thank you.. Y-yeah. You can go ahead."

Jungkook saw fear on her face and sat down, hugging her. She sunk into his arms, leaning on him. After minutes of silence and warmth, y/n fell asleep. Jungkook quietly exited and ran to the nearest convenience store. He came back with bandages and cream for her ankle.

After taking his shoes off, he quietly walked to y/n and sat next to her on the sofa, observing her. He could tell she was in pain due to her visage.

He got ice from his freezer and lifted the blanket from her foot. He put ice on it, and she jerked awake.

She hissed in pain and he immediately brought his hand and the ice away.

"How- what should I do?" Jungkook asked, a worried look on his face.

Y/n shook her head and looked away.

"Y/n, you have to treat this. Do you want to squeeze my hand? Would that work–?"

Y/n took a deep breath. "Okay." she said, grabbing his hand. Jungkook gently placed the ice on her ankle and she squeezed his hand, biting on her lip. He put ointment on it and wrapped it with a bandage as meticulously as he could.

"Thanks," she breathed out. Letting go of her soulmate's hand, she noticed how red it was from how tight she had squeezed. "Oh my god– I'm so sorry!" she gasped, looking at his hand.

He wiped her bottom lip which was bleeding from how hard she had bitten down on it. "Don't worry.. what you're feeling is worse," he said, patting her shoulder. He got up and came back with instant noodles a few minutes later. Together, the couple ate.

"Are you ok?" Jungkook asked her.

"Yeah.. I mean.. besides my ankle, I'll be fine." she replied, glancing at him. "Thank you so much."

"Do you think you can take care of yourself?"

She frowned and glanced at her ankle."Maybe? After a day of rest? I'm not sure."

"Should I take care of you then?"

"Wha–?" she said, her face turning red. "I mean.. um.. "

She attempted to stand and immediately fell, right into her soulmate's arms. Jungkook chuckled. "How about you stay here tonight? Or do you have someone to take care of you? Should I drop you off?"

"No.. I don't have anyone– my brother left, my parents are in a different city, Miso is most likely with her parents because it's the weekend.." she trailed off.

Jungkook nervously asked, "Would you be okay with staying here..?"

Her face turned even redder. "Stay with you?"

"Yeah," he replied. "I mean, you can't even stand, y/n. How will you do anything?"

"Let's go buy a wheelchair." she blurted out.

Jungkook chuckled. "A wheelchair? Y/n, you can just stay here tonight. I-I mean–" he stopped. "If you want to and if you're comfortable. If you want me to I can cook for you, make you comfortab–"
