ONE TIME THING

Chapter 14 (1)

After the encounter last night, Jungkook decided to spend the night with her. He keeps muttering that he's so sorry, and he'll make it up to her.

Well, that night can be included as one of their best night. They didn't have sex, of course. She's emotionally unstable. They just watched movies and cuddle on the bed till sleep engulfs both of them.

But here she is, wide awake in the middle of the dawn, her abdomen hurts so bad, it's already the time of the month and she can just sigh.

Why did she even bear as a girl? These menstrual cramps are killing her every month. She felt so uncomfortable and she's sweating a lot.

She doesn't want to move because she might wake Jungkook up. So, she silently tried reaching the bottle of painkillers but it's already empty.

Shit.

She stood up while holding her lower tummy which is hurting so bad, she tried walking till she reached the kitchen to drink hot water.

"Hey doll, what are you doing?"

She jolted before turning around to look at the sleepy Jungkook who followed her here.

"I'll just drink water."

She hissed after waves of pain hit her lower tummy. Her hands holding at the marble counter for support.

"Hey, hey! Are you okay? You're pale. Are you sick?"

Jungkook's heart started to race as he ran towards her to hold her body while looking at her with his eyes full of worry.

"I-I'm fine. I'll be f-fine."

She breathes before gulping the warm water on her mug.

"Fuck, are you sure? I'll bring you to the hospital, sit there, I'll just grab my car keys--"

Jungkook gently pushed her to sit at the chair in the dining, tucking a strand of her hair at the back of her ear.

The gesture made her soft.

But it's not the time to giggle and smile. Her tummy is hurting so bad!

"N-no!"

She badly wanted to tell him that it's the menstrual cramps but she doesn't know how. She already embarrasses herself enough in front of him. She doesn't want to add something to the list.

"Why? You look so sick! C'mon, doll."

Jungkook almost pleaded, while holding her hand tightly. What's with him? It's not like she's dying already.

But she's indeed dying because of the pain!

"I-it's just my p-period!"

Lisa bit her lips, her eyes resting on his confused face. She took a deep breath while looking at him expectantly.

"H-huh?"

Oh god!

He looks so lost with his cheeks and ears getting red. Is he really blushing at this point?

"I'll be fine. I just need a rest for a day."

Lisa gave him a reassuring smile, though her smile badly wanted to turn into a sour one because her cramps feels like it's getting worse.

"B-but--"

"C'mon. Let's go back to sleep."

She slowly stood up, pulling Jungkook who's crouching in front of her. J

"Can you walk? I'll carry--"

"It's my lower abdomen hurts, not my foot, you dumbo."

She playfully slapped his shoulder but Jungkook doesn't look like he's in the mood.

"Hey, why are you so serious?"

Lisa glanced at Jungkook who's currently frowning.

"Nah. Let's just rest. You're so pale. Do you really not want to go to the doctor? Maybe I should just call my doctor to--"

Damn, is he that worried?

Lisa somewhat felt loved and cared for. She softly smiled at the back of her mind. Who knows Jeon Jungkook has this side?

"Yah, stop over-reacting. I said I'm fine."

"But you look sick. Are you really like this when y-you...you--"

He's blushing again. She can't blame him. That kind of topic is really awkward to be talked about.

"Yes, it's always like this. I'm already used to it but the pain is just...nevermind."

She dismissed her supposedly next words. He'll just panic and convince her to go to the hospital.

"You're regular, right?

"Yeah. Why did you ask?"

Lisa looked at him with full curiosity, Jungkook breathe heavily before speaking.

"That means your experiencing the same pain every month?"

"Unfortunately."

He went silent after that. She doesn't know what's running on his mind so he just lets him get lost in his own world before pulling him to go back to the bedroom.

They both lay on the bed, Jungkook pulled the comforter to Lisa's body before embracing her, wrapping both of his arms around her small body.

She fit perfectly on him.

Like they are the missing pieces of each other. He never felt contented until this.

"Does it still hurt? Tell me when it's painful, okay?"

He softly asked, kissing the top of her head after. He felt Lisa nod her head in answer.

"You want me to sing you a song? What's your favorite lullaby? I'll sing it for you if I know it."

"Nah. I wanted to sleep and that's noisy."

"You're the first person who told me that."

"That's good. Should I feel honored then?"

"You should."

Lisa giggled before sleep consumes her body. Jungkook on the other hand can't sleep, he's just drawing circles at Lisa's back with his mind flying on what he should do to at least lessen her pain.

His heart can't calm a while ago when he sees her face looking so hurt, her one hand is placed on her tummy while she's standing at the sink to grab a mug. She looks so sick and pale. And knowing that she's experiencing that every month...he just wanted to be there for her. To take care of her.

He gently reached his phone on the bedside table before browsing the internet on how to mend those cramps Lisa have been feeling.

He even installed an app for it. The whole information about, uhm, t-that is written in the app and it also tracks the date when will the cycle start again.

Due to curiosity, he tapped the encircled date of the calendar, a phrase written in a rectangular shape pop at the side of his phone screen.

May 21, high chance of getting pregnant...

Oh.
