"I got us takeout." Jungkook was standing above me when I opened my eyes. I had a really weird dream about a tornado hitting my family and I was almost positive I had sweat piling up on my forehead.

"Mm." I said back then rubbed my eyes, taking in a deep breath before sitting up. "I had a bad dream."

He reached his hand out to grab my hand to help me up and I let him. I fixed my pony tail by tugging on my hair to make it tighter but I know it just made it more messy.

Jungkook lead the way back down the stairs. "What happened?"

"I was like flying back home by myself but I could see a tornado hitting the house, like my family was freaking out."

"We should call them." Jungkook offered, knowing it would probably ease my mind.

I shook my head though, I had been texting all of them this whole time every day and Jude and I talked on the phone while I walked to my first class. "Nah. I didn't know you hung up pictures on the ceiling."

He laughed and passed me the wrap he had gotten me, then some of his fries for my side. "Oh yeah, I did that before I left."

"Where'd you go?"

"The library. I took some pain killers and felt better so I went there to draw."

I looked up at him. I hadn't really seen him draw since we arrived here, but we had been settling in. "What did you draw?"

He stepped away from the table in the kitchen and grabbed his black bookbag, unzipping it and sliding out his sketchbook. He handed me a photo of a young guy around our age sitting in front of a shelf of books, he was leaned back and seemed into the book he was reading. "Wow, Koo. This is really good."

"Not Koo." He said and leaned his head back, retrieving the sketchbook back from me. That was something I called him as a kid, the same time he started calling me Jo. But his nickname for me stuck and mine did not. "This might be a weird question but was Taehyung just here?"

I looked up at him confused, setting the fry I had taken a bite of back down. "What?"

"I passed him on the street coming here, well at least I thought I did."

If he passed Taehyung then I was barely asleep, I felt like I was asleep forever. "He walked me home from class."

"Why?" Jungkook seemed just as bewildered as I originally did.

I shrugged and got up to get some water, walking past him so I didn't have to look at him when I was talking. He was the only one other than Jasper to know when I was lying because I blink more than I normally do. I knew it was because he just wanted to assure I wasn't going to tell his secret but I couldn't tell Jungkook and have him ask the secret and fall into that hole. "I don't know. I guess he just saw me walking alone. He apologized for the way he acted at the party."

"Hm, weird." Jungkook spoke honestly and I laughed. "I love your laugh, Jo."

I turned back around to him. This boy that holds my whole heart, the boy that means more to me than anyone. "I love you, Koo."

He turned around quickly and threw the wrapper of one of his burgers he had finished at me, only making me laugh more.

When I finally settled down and sat back down with the cup of water above my food, he was done eating everything and was reaching over to eat my fries. "So are you still coming to the doctor with me tomorrow?"

"Yeah, what time is it?"

"Why? Do you have plans?" He asked as a joke, but I think he may have had a little sincerity with it.

I nodded a little, a little unsure how much I should spill.

"What are they?"

"Taehyung wants to show me something. Another reason why he practically followed me home." I took a bite of my wrap, then swatted his hand away from my fries and picking up the one he dropped to now eat it.

"That guys such an ass, Jo." He pleaded with me, his eyes low while he gave me a disapproving look.

I sighed and leaned back, allowing him to grab as many fries as he wanted. "I'm not the one showing up to his house and forcing him to hang out with me. Okay?"

"I know." He said. He always saw my side and took it, even when I was wrong. It was so rare for us to fight, or even sincerely bicker. Even when things were insane and out of pocket with Yoongi he just always understand why I stayed, but he voiced his opinion of how happy he was when I left, which I was too. "That's your type anyways."

Now it was my turn to throw something at him, so I picked up a fry and tossed it his way.

When I finished my wrap, I picked up my trash and threw it away. Before I walked back upstairs I stopped behind Jungkook and grabbed his face, making him lean back so I could kiss his forehead. He just smiled with bunny teeth while I told him goodnight and skipped stairs on my way up.
