Sunrise With You | Taekook

Chapter 2

Jungkook P.O.V.

I was feeling odd. Odd in a good way. I saw the sunrise until it was shining brightly, Bam playing with his new friend before my eyes. Both dogs coming to us from time to time, people jogging and having a morning walk with their furry friends. I was absorbed in my thoughts, trying to understand why I was feeling relaxed and comfortable with a stranger. We barely spoke. The lyrics of his song still playing clearly in my mind. They were... deep and painful and raw. What could he have been thinking while wri-. I was cut off by his dark voice.

"Do you happen to have a pen and a paper on that bag?" He said, his dark brown eyes slightly narrowed. The newborn sunlight illuminating his face, making his features resemble an angel. His hair being in a brighter color compared to how it looked when we first started talking.

I hummed and reached to open my bag, going through all the unnecessary things I always carried with me. I found the pen and a small amount of pastel blue post-it.

I looked at him again and handed them, his hand reaching out to meet mine and take both things. I saw as he was writing down something, his gaze fixed on the paper. When he was finished, he turned to me again.

"Do you have Bam's leash?" I nodded and took the leash from my bag. His eyes now on my hand as he once again reached for it. I handed it reluctantly, not understanding what he was doing. He looked at the dogs and called them, taking their collars and attaching the leashes to them. His eyes now staring at me and for a second I felt like drowning on them.

"Listen, I promise I'll take good care of him." He said in a whisper while handing me the post-it and the pen. His expression tense while I couldn't get to comprehend what was going on. "Here you have my address, you can come for him when you're free." He looked around us and then again to me. "But you have to go now." Worry painted in his eyes. I didn't understand anything, until he slightly nodded to our surroundings. People slowly getting together some feets away from us, making a small crowd. Then it hit me. People were talking and whispering, looking at us again. They were about to confirm what they already new. That JK was sitting on the grass with someone else first hour in the morning. How could I forget that I couldn't be like everyone else? That I couldn't live my life the same way others did?

My mind running through every possible scenario. I had to go. My manager didn't know I had gone to walk Bam and I couldn't let a scandal start spreading all over the Internet. I really had to go.

I looked at the male next to me again. His eyes filled with something like worry, his lips making a single line and a clouded frown. "Bam will be fine, I promise. You can come for him anytime. But now go, because otherwise you'll have something worse to worry about.".

I looked at the post-it and at him once more before taking my bag and walking away. I couldn't take Bam with me. I had to run and mislead all those people so they wouldn't follow me or confirm their suspicions.

And like that, I walked away from my baby letting a stranger take him. He could have given me another address, he could do something to him. I didn't even know his name. Anything could happen. But the more I thought about it the more I realized that somehow, deep inside me, something in my gut told me that everything would be fine.

After more than an hour taking different paths so anyone who might have followed me couldn't know where I was going, I finally arrived at the dorm. I looked at my phone at the same time I was opening the entrance door. It was 8:19 am and everything inside the apartment was quiet. A good indication that none of the members was awake. I took off my shoes and walked to my bedroom. I lied on the bed and used my hands to cover my face. Silence and darkness filled the room as the curtains were blocking the sunlight from entering. I closed my eyes. Images from this morning still popping up. And like that I found myself thinking about him. Did he know who I was? I was careful to not let a single piece of my face exposed. But if other people there were starting to get suspicious it was a sure thing he did know me as well.
