SHORT SKIRTS | 18+ | Jungkook

Chapter 34 | Cross the Line for You

A few minutes passed, and I couldn't help myself fall asleep. My mind was a mess. I jolt and gasp when I hear his sudden but terribly weak voice say "Don't... Don't go. They'll kill me. Y/N, it... It hurts.", and that's when my heart shattered and fell to the ground. 

"Jungkook? It's okay. I'm right here." I coo in his ears and pepper his cheek with kisses. Stroking his hair, I suffer as I watch him breathe heavily, my mind alarming as the ECG starts to beep, that sounds like a death siren to me. 

I stand up and go as close as I can to him, letting him know that I'm right here, but press the emergency button on the machine to have a doctor arrive in this room as soon as possible. 

As he goes mumbling painful words incoherently, something made me press the emergency button multiple times even though I know one single press was enough to call the doctor. 

Don't blame me, love made me crazy. And I'm glad to know that he is the one that's making me go crazy, but I didn't like the timing and situation. I would love it if he made me go berserk under different circumstances.

"Jungkook... baby, please. Calm down, pumpkin is right here." A tear slips but I try not to cringe at the nickname I used to refer to myself. I only like it when he calls it.

The doctor enters the room with panic glowing on her face as she wears her stethoscope and checks the vitals through his chest. 

"You didn't have to press it so many times but, can't blame you. You're crazy for him." The nurse behind me says somethings that makes me doubt if she read my mind. 

No. She read my behavior. And yes, not ashamed to admit, I'm crazy for him. I know. My diary knows. He knows too.

A few minutes passed since the doctor asked me to hold his hand and whisper comforting and distracting words into his ear, and it was shocking to them to see him become stable and relaxed after a while. I know how much my baby loves me. 

And it was this moment that I realized, as much as I seek comfort in his presence and touch, he also finds security and peace when I'm with him. We both need each other to survive peacefully.

"That's right, baby. Trust me, everything is alright. No one is going to hurt you. I won't let them." I whisper gently into his ears and I found it assuring as I watch his heart rate and blood pressure reach a stable dynamic. I know it might take him a few days for his vitals to recover from the fluctuation, but I'll be there for him to speed his recovery.

1:25 a.m.

It's literally midnight, my final exams and uni selection exams are in three weeks, but here I am. Dressed in all black, with a baseball cap over my head, and a mask covering my face, of course I didn't forget a pair of glasses too. 

Walking through the woods, I follow the map that Felix sent me on whatsapp. Um, Felix was my childhood friend but after years, I got to know he studies in Cheongji School of Excellence.

The map. It was a map to Shim Hanmi's hideout. Me, Felix, Jaebin and Mia have been working a lot to find her. I could mock at how we did something even the police couldn't do. It was a little hard to trust Mia and Jaebin, but they worked so hard for me and their regret towards what they did and their efforts put into their apology were so sincere.

They were really smart and I never knew Mia was so good at marshial arts. She taught me a lot of self defence moves just in case I end up with Hanmi who might have some guards with her. As for Jaebin, he worked with Felix to hack into Hanmi's phone and track her location. Jaebin was successful in hacking into the public CC cameras to find her.
