Captivated in the dark

Chapter 24- Space, time and recovery (TW)

*Seol's POV*

"Seolllll"

"Yes Jimin." I kissed his on the cheek as I sat next to him giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's go homeee. I want to go home." I chuckled at how slurred his words came out. He must of drank more alcohol whilst I was gone.

"How much did you drink while I was gone Jimin." 

"Don't tell anyone... a lot." He whispers the last part in my ear like it was a secret, but both Taehyung and Suga were also drunk, not as much as Jimin though, maybe slightly tipsy. 

"Okay, let's go home then Jiminie. Come on." I stand up and hold my hand out for him to grab. He steadies himself when he stands up. 

I opened the passenger seat carefully making sure he was sitting comfortably, buckling his seatbelt for him. His head had fallen back and I presume he had passed out. I wasn't too sure, but he was drunk drunk. 

As I was about to close the door his wallet had fallen out of his pocket. I bent down to pick it up and a photo of another women was clear. She seemed younger than me. Long blonde hair. Pretty. She was very pretty and stunning. Like those girls who are effortlessly pretty without trying pretty.  

Nothing occurred to me much. I suppose it was a picture of a relative maybe or a friend. I carefully placed it back into his pocket ensuring it wouldn't fall out again. 

The car journey back home was silent. After dropping off Taehyung and Suga, wishing them a good night. Jimin was still sleeping, so there wasn't much interaction whilst driving home. 

******

I tucked Jimin into bed, making sure he was warm enough but not hot enough to overheat. I had also opened the window slightly to allow some fresh air to flow into our room. Making Jimin sleep more peacefully. 

I then had gone to the kitchen to pour a glass of water for him, placing it on his bed side table. Ready for him for when he wakes up. I quickly shower and get ready for bed as I was also exhausted from looking after two boys. Jungkook and Jimin. Two drunk boys. 

*Jimin's POV*

My eyes shot open. My head pounding. My body aching. 

The smell of cherry blossom had travelled to my nose. An addictive scent. A comforting scent. I adjusted my eyes to the room and find a glass of water next to me. I grab it and inhale it. I didn't notice how dehydrated I was until I had engulfed the water in less then 2 seconds. 

I felt the water flowing down my body replenishing my vitals after being drunk. I saw Seol sleeping peacefully beside me. Her hair spread across the pillow. 

I gently moved the hair from her face and hooked it behind her ear. I kissed her head and covered her with our blankets. We have three blankets on our bed. I said it was unnecessary, however Seol argued that we need 3 blankets and we somehow always go with her decisions. 

Because if we don't, she will be so whiney and clingy. She clings to me begging me until I give in. So I don't argue with her now. I instead just ;et her do her thing. Keeping me and her happy. 

I let sleep take over my body again. 

*Seol's POV- 8am*

I woke up to the sun shining into the room through the curtains. Jimin still sleeping on the bed. He was in deep sleep. I quickly placed my palm on his forehead again to check if his temperature had gone down. 

"Gosh Jimin, you're burning up." I took the blankets off him and replaced it with a more thinner, cooler blanket. 

I quickly walked to the bathroom to grab a cold face towel and placed it onto his forehead. 

"I'll make you something to eat." I say to Jimin, despite him not hearing it as he still sleeps soundly.  

I went to the kitchen and decided to make pancakes with lots of fruits on top. I made him coffee as well as a smoothie in case he wanted something healthier I suppose. 

Whilst throwing all the fruit onto the pancake I made sure they were cut neatly, into heart shapes, because it'll be nice for him. And to top it off with whipped cream and sugar. I want some myself, however I had forgotten about myself. I didn't realise I had only made 1 portion. 

I suppose I'll just make a coffee for myself. As I don't think I could go through making pancakes again. More dishes to wash and more time wasted in which I should be looking after Jimin.

"Hey you're awake. Someone's looking a bit hungover. You okay?" I say placing the dish on the table. 

"Good morning." He said in a deep raspy voice. He scratched his head as his eyes widened at the site of fresh food. 

"Here eat up. I'll be in the bedroom getting ready." I smiled and walked to the bedroom. 

"Wait! Have you made anything for yourself ?" 

I turned around to look at him. 

"No, not yet... I'll get-"

"Seol, you can't just make something for me and not yourself. Here, we can share these lovely pancakes you made." Jimin pulled a chair out for me to sit down on.

"It's okay. I'll just eat a-a-an Apple." I picked up an apple and throwing up into the air for me to catch again. I turned around and headed back to the bedroom again.

"Seol?" 

"Yes?" I faked a smile while turning back around to face him. 

"I mean it. Please have something decent to eat. For me at least?" 

"Jimin, it's okay. I ate some left over fruit I cut whilst making your breakfast. I'm okay, really." I smiled knowing that Jimin believed me.

I don't usually eat much for breakfast. If anything it counts as my late lunch. I'm not normally hungry for breakfast, perhaps it's just the morning, but food after waking up had never really appealed to me.
