GUILTY OR INNOCENT

His nightmares

"No uh...you don't have to take troubles for me. I'll call Jimin hyung to come pick me up."

"Okay, but I think they must be asleep. Wait, I'll be down there."

You head downstairs.

"Did they pick up?" You ask, seeing that Jungkook is still trying to reach their phone.

"No. They won't pick up if they are asleep. I think I'll take the bus."

"Are you crazy!? Why would you take a bus?? Do you even have a mask and a cap??" You yell at him.

Why is he so careless?

"No, I dont." He says.

"Then how were you planning to take a bus?"

"Okay, I know that was stupid of me just don't yell at me." He says looking down.

You sigh. "Just spend the night here. I promise I wont bite, I even won't make you sleep on the couch."

Now that your mom is gone, her room is basically a guest room. He can sleep there.

"Okay. Thank you for letting me crash at your place."

You both head up to your house. You enter your password on the door lock. You escort him to the room.

"You can stay here. The washroom is that way. And I'll be over there, in that room." You say pointing towards your room.

"I know where everything is. I've been here few times before you know?"

"Yeah, I know its just 'manners and etiquettes'. Make yourself comfortable." You say with a smile.

They all have been in here a lot of times before. For celebrations, dinners, watching movies, etc. Obviously, he knows where everything is.

"Imma go freshen up. Goodnight!" You say, embarrassed by your stupidity.

"What was I thinking, obviously he knew." You mutter to yourself as you leave. Slapping your forehead a couple of times.

After the shower, you check your phone to see if your mom has called you.

She hasn't.

She must be asleep. You call her phone to check up on her.

"Are you home? Why didn't you call me?" You sound a bit worried.

"Yeah, I reached home a couple minutes ago. I didn't call you 'cause I thought you would be asleep. I didn't wanna disturb your sleep." Your mom says, with a calm tone.

"You still should've called me. Anyways you must be tired. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, honey."

You hang up. As you try sleeping, you crave something.

Ice-cream. More importantly, 'Chocolate ice-cream'.

You look for chocolate ice-cream in your fridge. "Found you!" You say when you finally find an ice cream tub. Grabbing a spoon, you go to your rooftop to stargaze while eating your ice-cream.

You liked watching the night sky, it felt peaceful and ice-cream with it was the 'cherry on top'.

The sky was lit up by the radiance of the Moon. The clouds that surrounded it were illuminated. The stars seemed like fairy lights decorating the night sky. You could see the constellations. A smile crept up your face, when you noticed a star shining brightly.

"Joon, is that you? You are looking at us right? We miss you. You better be missing us too." That star somehow reminds you of him.

"You made one hell of a mess here but don't worry we all will sort it out." You say with a reassuring smile, as if you were actually talking to him.

"You know, everytime I was going through a rough patch in life, you were always by my side. You stood by me. You gave me the strength." Your voice cracks up.

"How am I supposed to do this alone? I need you by my side, like you were everytime. Now more than ever."

"I promise, we'll find the person who did this to you." You wipe off the tears.

Your peaceful moment is ruined when your phone rings.

It's yoongi.

"Hello? Y/n? " he sounds worried.

"Yeah? What's wrong?"

"Where the hell is Jungkook? He called Jimin a couple of times earlier and now he isn't picking up. We all are so worried here." Yoongi says, you can feel the panick in his voice.

"I'm so sorry, actually Jungkook is crashing at my place tonight.
His car broke down. He was calling Jimin so that he could pick him up." You say. At this point, you actually believe you are stupid.

"Why, isn't he picking up the call then?" He asks, he sounds a little calm now.

"I don't know, he must be in a deep sleep or his phone must be in silent mode."

"Okay. Good night. Sorry to disturb you."

"Good night." You hang up.

"I better check up on him." You mutter to yourself.
You keep the empty ice-cream tub and the spoon in the kitchen and walk towards his room.

As you get closer, you can hear him sobbing. You open the door to see Jungkook alseep, he is crying in his sleep.

You get closer to him to get a better look at him. The pillows are soaked with his tears. He stops crying for a while. Is he dreaming?

You just stand there helplessly not knowing what to do. You slowly wipe tears off his face. He starts crying again. This time it seemed much painful his sobs are louder too. Not knowing what to do, you try waking him up.

"Jungkook? Wake up. Are you okay?"

He wakes up. Seeing you, he starts tearing up.

It hurts to see him in this state. Vulnerable.

You hold his hand. You wanted to give him a hug but you thought it'll only make him uncomfortable.

"Y/n, I miss him. I miss him so much. I don't know how to feel right now. I can't think straight. Just once, just one last time I wanna see him, hug him, talk to him. Just one last time. But I can't. I can't and it hurts y/n. It hurts so much. Please help me. I don't want to live like this. I don't wanna feel like this." He hugs you so tightly as if he is scared to let you go.

"It's okay, it's okay to feel like this." Tears form in you eyes too.

"No one is going to ask you to put on a brave face. We all miss him. The pain won't completely go away but it'll fade with time. It's gonna hurt at first but slowly you'll get used to missing him. You won't feel like this always and I'll be here whenever you need me." You gently stroke his back.

"Y/n?" He mutters. He sounds sleepy.

"Hmm?" You hum.

"Stay with me for tonight." He says.

"Do you really want me to..." you are a bit surprised by his request.

"Yeah, but only if you want to."

"Okay, I'll stay with you tonight."

He then lays down and pats the area beside him, signalling you to sleep there. You do. He then wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you in closer. You put your hand around his neck.
He slides down to the crook of you neck and leaves a small peck there before falling deep into sleep.

"Good night, Jungkook." You mutter. You soon fall asleep.

A/n:
Have a good sleep y/n. A lot is coming your way...
I hope this wasn't as underwhelming  as the last one.
I think I didn't do enough justice to Jungkook here...he's going through a lot...so much that I can't explain.
