Full Moon

Chapter 35: Nursing Jungkook

Jimin's POV

Life indeed has many surprises. Secrets that should stay in the dark rather than be disclosed to the eyes and ears of the people. There are myths that are told and passed down over generations. But it's up to the people to believe they're real or not.

And I don't believe in them. Not until one came and knocked on my door. Like a hurricane, he swept over me and left me in a mess. He came into my life bearing dark and heavy secrets. A man whose true identity I do not know.

He showed me a completely different person, someone who's normal—like us, someone who pretended he hasn't done unspeakable deeds in the past, someone who wore a smile that melted our hearts, making his way through. He showed us a persona that he knows would make us accept him.

A wolf dressed in sheep's wool knocked on our door. With his great acting and deceit, we let him in. Just like that. It's too late for me to know and now here I am. Lost and messed up. Love and sympathy fighting over anger, feeling of betrayal, and reason.

I wanted to kill my love for him. But as much as there's none left, there's still a lot I want to give. My heart and my mind clashed, battling over decisions.

Jungkook is my one and only, I could feel it. My heart screams it and my mind admits it. My world revolves around him and it won't stop.

Maybe I have loved him too much. And a big part of me kept on telling me I could give him more. My heart's urging me to understand him whereas my mind refuses the idea. He has hidden who he is from us.

"Why Jungkook?"

A fresh new batch of tears streamed down my stained cheeks while I stroked his soft raven hair, tucking a few strands away from his flawless face.

In the end. I couldn't leave Jungkook here. I took him into the house and into the bedroom. I changed his clothes and his wounds. . . it all healed after some time. I was surprised at first though I shouldn't be. What more could surprise me than witnessing him transform back to his human form. He's a wolf, I should start expecting abilities that are not normal for humans like me.

"I thought I was the one who knows you best. I thought I knew who you were. I guess I do not know you at all." I whispered, moving my hand to stroke his cheek. "You became my everything, you still are. But right now, I feel like I'm loving a complete stranger. A stranger who I share moments and lovely memories with."

"You took me here and I never had the chance to escape successfully. Now that I have all that chance, I couldn't even think of taking it. Just look at how you affect me Jungkook. You're a magnet and I'm the metal that'll forever be attached to you. And I both love and hate you for that." I chuckled and rolled my eyes before getting out of the bed where I lay him.

I had a lot of time to ponder about everything, about him, and about me. I don't want to act rashly and end up hurting both of us. We're in a long run and I believe we're not even close to the end.

I want to keep calm and think things over, I don't want to be driven solely by my feelings and emotions. He still is my Jungkook, though I should hear that from him myself. I want to know if he really is still my Jungkook or a completely different person.

"I won't give up on you. . . unless I heard it coming from your mouth. You've kept me alive since you have taken me here. I want to do the same."

"Jungkook-ah. . ." I tucked the strand of hair that was sticking out behind his ear. "I won't pretend that I'm not hurting because of you. . . your secret almost ruined us, not only me but all of us." I spoke as I lay beside him, tucked under the same blanket, sharing his warmth.
