First Snow // JINKOOK

Chapter 9

Two weeks later

Jin hasn't come to the arena since the incident, Mr. Lee also didn't say anything about his condition, he just said Jin was still in the hospital and would be taking a break from athletes for a while. Although Mr. Lee didn't say what happened to Jin, Jungkook had his own assumptions. He knew something bad had happened to Jin.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Namjoon said.

"Nothing hyung, I'm just tired"

"Yeah, I used to be like you too, complain a lot because of fatigue, you can take tomorrow off if you want"

"Then how about you hyung? You're going to clear the entire arena by yourself?"

"No, later I, Irene and Jisoo will share the task, you don't need to think about it, take a break"

"I'll call Mr. Lee to tell him first." Namjoon just nodded and Jungkook walked into the cleaning room.

After the tournament not many athletes came to the arena, most of those who came were new athletes, while the others were still resting.

Jungkook contacted Mr. Lee, his first intention was to contact Mr.Lee to inform him that he would be taking a day off tomorrow, but there were other intentions that came to his mind.

"Hello"

"Hello Mr. Lee, it's me, Jungkook"

"Yeah, what's wrong Jungkook?"

"Can I take tomorrow off?"

"Of course, you can take your day off tomorrow, have you told Namjoon about this?"

"Yes Mr. Lee and how is Jin's condition? I mean is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine"

"Can I meet him?"

"I'm sorry Jungkook, he doesn't want to see anyone during the recovery period, I heard from Namjoon about you, he said you were the only cleaner he could talk to, that's a good thing, he doesn't trust other people easily, if he wants to Talking to you means he trusts you."

"It's only because I helped him, the things we talked about weren't important either, I just told him to rest"

"You told him to rest?"

"Yes Mr. Lee"

"Then what did he do?"

"He left after I told him to"

"Interesting, Jin is not an easy person to manage, only Jennie can manage him, but you are not Jennie. I know he'll be mad at me if I do this, but the coach and I don't know what to do anymore, do you want to help us?"

"What can I do for you?"

next day

Finished making breakfast for him and his papa, Jungkook rushed to the hospital to see Jin, Mr. Lee told him to come there, he didn't say the reason but he just said that Jin would hate him after this.

Of course Jungkook was happy, he really wanted to meet Jin to see his condition, he also missed Jin's performance in the arena. Every night feels lonely without his presence there. The arena feels empty without the ice prince.

When he arrived in front of Jin's room, his heart started beating wildly, he was very nervous to meet Jin, maybe he would get angry and throw Jungkook out of there.

Jungkook slowly opened the door and as he entered, he heard Jin talking to someone on the phone.

"Yes, I will take good care of myself"

"You must rest"

"Yeah, I'll call you later"

"I miss you, too"

Jungkook only heard that, but for some reason he felt his chest was very tight. It must be Jennie, they are still communicating.

Jungkook walked up to him and made Jin surprised.

"What are you doing here?"

"Mr. Lee asked me to come here."

"I don't want to see anyone, so you can get out before I ask the nurse to take you out"

But that didn't make Jungkook give up, he sat beside Jin's bed and looked at Jin's cast leg.

"Does it hurt?"

"What?" Jin was confused by Jungkook's attitude, he ignored Jin's words.

"Your leg, does it hurt?"

"No"

"Good" Jungkook's eyes met Jin's again.

"Did you break your leg?"

"No, my ankle just shifted"

"I'm grateful"

"If you're done asking, can you leave me alone? please"

"No"

"What?"

"I said no, why are you always this cold with other people? Being an ice skating athlete doesn't require you to act like ice right?"

"If you don't know what you're talking about better stop with your bullshit"

"That's not bullshit, I'm asking you" Jungkook didn't take his eyes off Jin. He knows how cold Jin is to him, even though he wants to talk to Jungkook but that doesn't mean they are close.

"What are you doing here?"

"The arena feels lonely without you, I usually still wake up because I have to wait for you to finish training until the morning, and now I should be able to rest in peace because you are here, but I was wrong, I couldn't sleep and kept waiting for your presence in the arena"

"What do you mean by what you say?"

"Go back to the arena, there will be a tournament in 3 months, I am waiting for you in the arena"

Jungkook got up from his chair and smiled at Jin before finally exiting the room. When closing the door Jungkook felt his legs were very weak, he didn't take his hands off his chest. He was very nervous but he tried to hide it.

While Jin just smiled when he heard the door closed.
