[2] Reborn [Jirose Adaption]

Chap304-Toss it away

Hearing these words, Park Jimin sent her a meaningful glance. Roseanne quickly kept away the pink hearts that were about to escape her eyes. She turned and hastily walked out with his clothes in her arms.

She left to look for the base doctor and requested him to go help him with his wounds.

The doctor had just returned from tending to the members with serious injuries and was preparing to go see Park Jimin. When he met Mrs. Park on the way, he gave Roseanne a polite nod and directly headed in.

"Now that you've showered and changed, and seen your own man return safely, are you relieved of your worries? You even appear to be floating as you walk." A voice came from outside the door. It was cold, indifferent, and carried hints of teasing.

Roseanne glanced to the side to see a silhouette standing in front of the door smoking a cigarette. Kim Taehyung brought the cigarette away from his lips and tossed his cold and indifferent glance toward her.

"After being anxious for several days, I'm finally able to relax a little. You won't even let me float as I please?" She smiled.

Kim Taehyung snorted. "That T-shirt was brand new. It's never been worn. It should fit your man well, doesn't it?"

"It does. You're both the same size." Roseanne casually replied.

"It's good that it does." Kim Taehyung glanced at her once more. "I didn't notice it before, but Mrs. Park has really grown to become much more laid-back. It's indeed worlds apart from your previous arrogant disposition. This has been especially noticeable in the past few days."

No matter when or where, Kim Taehyung always had to stab her a little with his words.

Roseanne was already used to it. She only smiled and did not say more. Just as she was about to bring the black shirt in her arms out, Taehyung glanced at her to say, "You're going to wash it?"

"That's right."

"It's covered in blood. The back is also quite damaged. It can't be worn again even if you wash it. What's the point?"

"I'll bring it back after I wash it. It'll be a nice memento even if it can't be worn."

Kim Taehyung sneered, staring at her as though she had gone mad. "A memento for what? To commemorate that you went through life and death with your man? Or to commemorate this trash of a place that is covered in blood?"

The way he spoke really caused one to feel repulsion...

Roseanne pursed her lips and considered if it was better to toss the shirt away. All of a sudden, Taehyung glanced at her as though he had thought of something. "You didn't tell him that you helped us wash our socks previously, did you?"

"No..."

Before Roseanne could finish, she suddenly heard Park Jimin's voice from behind her. "What socks?"

"..."

"..."

Kim Taehyung narrowed his eyes as he took a drag of the cigarette before tossing it on the ground and crushing it beneath his feet. He calmly said, "Aqib and Dali are still inside the forest. They both have groups of people protecting them. They should be hiding in the ambush points they had previously decided on. They're just waiting for us to show up now. It's useless even if they manage to remain concealed for tonight. Tomorrow morning, Officer Entes and I will do another search inside to see if they were fried by the landmines. You just focus on recovering from your wounds."

Before Jimin could speak, Roseanne turned to look at him. "Didn't the base doctor just go in? Why aren't your wounds being tended?"

"The doctor is preparing the medication right now. I'll head in after five minutes." Park Jimin looked at her and glanced at the shirt in her hands. "Toss it away."

Roseanne considered for a moment; this shirt was stained with not only his blood but other people's blood as well...

At the thought that those people had mostly all lost their lives, she felt a chill down her back and decisively tossed the shirt away.

Kim Taehyung suddenly made a spitting sound. "I asked you to throw it, but you wouldn't. Your man just casually said three words, and you tossed it?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would he be my man?" Roseanne glanced at him and then turned her smiling eyes toward Park Jimin.

Park Jimin's expression did not change, but his mood clearly lifted after hearing her words. The edge of his lips raised slightly.

Kim Taehyung gave a fake smile. "Your way of force-feeding dog food really makes me wonder if there is anyone who can remain at peace when interacting with both you."

"Of course, there are. Jennie feels very much at peace." Roseanne indifferently glanced at him. "No matter how much PDA I do, Jennie's inner heart remains unperturbed. In fact, she appears completely uninterested in things like love and men. Maybe she's already sick of you. Hold onto her thigh tightly while you can or else you will be the one who was left behind."

"..."

...

That night, Roseanne was finally able to sleep well by Jimin's side. However, even in her sleep, she kept a tight grip around his hand. It was only nearing daylight that her grip gradually relaxed.

After the past few days of turmoil, Roseanne had become much more sensitive. It was only with him by her side that she was finally able to sleep at ease.

However, she still feared the small chance that he would suddenly disappear before her eyes.

Through the night, they slept peacefully.

In the morning, Roseanne turned over on the bed. In warehouse compartments like these, there was someone sleeping in every single compartment. The conditions were not especially good. The environment was humid, but there were no windows or air-conditioning. There was only a small electric fan on the ground, blowing toward the bed and causing the sheets to ripple with the wind.

Her hands were slightly cold. She was unable to touch Park Jimin and subconsciously snapped her eyes wide open. She turned to look by her side and realized that he really wasn't there.

Roseanne was flustered and frantically tried to clamber off the bed. However, because the compartment space was too small and the fan was placed too close to the bed, she tripped over the wire and fell onto the ground. Thankfully, her hands were nimble, and she was able to support herself by pressing her palms against the bed. Her fall was not serious, and only her knees slammed onto the ground.

The electric fan tilted onto the ground and was no longer operating as the plug had been disconnected.

Roseanne hissed from the pain in her kneecaps. She leaned against the bed and tried to stand up when the compartment door was suddenly opened.

Park Jimin had quickly walked over when he heard the noise. The moment he entered, he saw Roseanne half-kneeling on the ground and immediately approached to help her up. "How did you fall? You didn't notice the wire on the ground?"

Seeing that he was perfectly all right, Roseanne immediately forgot about the pain in her knees. She released a long breath of relief: "I couldn't find you, I thought you..."

She paused and took another glance at the wire on the ground. She pursed her lips to say, "I'll pay attention next time. I won't be so impatient next time."

Park Jimin understood that she was working through her lingering fears and did not expose her armor of bravery. He held her hand and glanced at the bandaged are.: "Remember to reapply the medicine today. It's not good to keep your wound bandaged in a humid environment like this. Ask the base doctor to pay more attention. Don't neglect the wound on your hand."

"All right. This small burn isn't much of an injury. I'll go look for the doctor when he is free." Roseanne placed her hand down, pressed in his arms. She could not bear to step away and be separated from him.
