Destined

Comfort

Jin POV:

I shake the hand that Jung kook extended towards me. I give him a smile while saying "Just because I accepted your friendship doesn't mean I want to date you OKAY?" he rolls his eyes at my comment. I know men tend to think that if I can be their friends then I can be more too, I've had men who wanted me to be their friends but their intentions were nothing friendly. "I know the difference between Friendship and Dating!" he says as I let go of his hand and sit down near the fire. "I know I know, I'm just clarifying everything" I say while extending my wooden stick that has the marshmallow towards the fire. "Thank you for your clarification, since we're friends now how about you give me another chance at introducing myself? Just pretend like you've never seen me before" he says raising his eyebrows while heating his own marshmallow sitting in front of me. "I'll take it under consideration" I say as I munch on my sweet treat. I hear him laugh at my comment and just like that we continued to chat about everything and nothing in particular. After some time we both got tired and started getting ready to sleep in our tents.

I toss and turn around the ground to find a comfortable position to sleep but it's becoming impossible to find it. I sigh before opening my eyes and realize it's still pretty dark outside. I whimper as I hear the loud thunder. GOD PLEASE NO! I am terrified of thunders since I was a child. The day my life went to shit, it was thundering like crazy outside. The thunders always remind of that cursed day. I squeeze my eyes shut and try to sleep but the thundering kept going, I whimper as I push myself more into my sleeping bag. I can feel my goosebumps and I can feel myself shivering even though the sleeping bag is slightly hot. "Please please please just stop" I mumble to myself as I try to go back to sleep but luck doesn't seem to be on my side as I whimper loudly as I hear the loud noises from outside. I swipe away my sweat and curl myself into a ball. "Jin?" I hear a soft sound in the middle of those loud noises calling out to me. Is that Jung kook? "Hey jin, are you okay? I heard some noises from your tent so I came to check it out" I slap myself in the head for being such a coward. Who even cries over thunder especially at my age!!!! "I'm coming in okay?" I wanted to shout no but nothing came out of my mouth, I can't have Jung kook see me in this condition. What if he makes fun of me? I close my eyes as I see his shadow opening the zipper and walking inside. I can feel his presence in the tent but I couldn't say anything. "Hey are you awake?" I should say something but I'm so embarrassed so I just decided to stay quite. Maybe he'll think I'm sleeping and leave. But of course it had to thunder loudly outside and my dumb ass couldn't stop myself from releasing that whimper again. "Jin?" I feel Jung kook touching my sleeping bag "Hey are you scared of thunder?" he asks softly and I decided there's no way I can escape this so I pull my head out of the sleeping bag and watch as he's staring at me with nothing but concern and worry. "I-I a-am very s-scared of t-thunders" I reply looking at him. "Do you want to leave? I can drive us back to the cabin?" he asks and I sit up still staring at him "That's not going to make it go away" I say with a slight pout. It's not like the thunder will stop following us to the cabin. "I thought maybe you'd be more comfortable on a bed then out here" I watch as he gets up and walks out of the tent. Wait is he really leaving? I sigh realizing I truly am alone. I shiver at the gust of wind coming from the zipper that Jung kook didn't close on his way out. I get out of my sleeping bag completely and just at that moment I see Jung kook walking inside the tent with his sleeping bag? "What are you doing?" I ask in a panicky voice. "I'll sleep here with you tonight" he says with a cheerful smile. "WHAT? No, you don't have to!!" I reply back but he just ignores me as he sets his sleeping bag right next to mine since the tent isn't too big. "I know I don't have to but I want to. I want to be here for you especially now that I know you're scared of thunder. What kind of friend would I be if I left you huh?" he says as he gets inside his sleeping bag and looks at me with his stupid smile. "Thank you" I mumble softly but he must've heard me as he says "We're all afraid of something Jin, like I really hate bugs. I will scream like a little girl if I see a bug near me." I laugh imagining him screaming like a little girl. "So don't worry and try to take some rest. I'm right here" I nod at him and close my eyes while taking a deep breath. "You're a good friend" I say to him while closing my eyes. I can feel his stare on my face but I decided to not open my eyes because I won't be able to trust myself if I look at him again- not when his eyes are looking at me with so much love and so much fondness. I can't fall for those, I won't fall for those. "Goodnight jin" he say and I mumble a goodnight back before turning away from him. Just close your eyes and sleep Jin, I tell myself.

I open my eyes as a ray of sunshine falls directly on my eyes. I yawn while stretching my legs inside the sleeping bag, I pull my hands out or at least try to but I realize there's some weight keeping me from taking my hands out of the sleeping bag. I look down and my eyes widen as I see Jung kook wrapped around my body or more like my sleeping bag. His hands are wrapped around my chest keeping me from pulling myself out. I look at his head that is way toooo close and right next to mine. I try not to look but my eyes betray me as I stare at his sleeping face. He looks so peaceful with small puffs of breaths coming out of his sleep and his eyes shut completely unaware of the situation we're in. I try to untangle myself from him but it seemed impossible as he just kept hugging me tighter.

"Stop moving Jin"
