SHORT SKIRTS | 18+ | Jungkook

Chapter 35 | Oblivion Detonates

Hanmi starts to laugh, but I mask the confusion on my face, to not let my weakness show. "Look behind you, bitch. Who's going to save you now, huh?" She giggles like a psychopath, and I turn around slowly to see Jaebin pointing a gun at me.

'YOUR P.O.V'

"Just one more, Kookie... open your mouth... aaah," Insisting Jungkook to have just one more spoon of the vegetable fried rice I cooked for him, I coax him by doing the airplane move and fly the spoon to his mouth. Cringing and blushing simultaneously, he opens his mouth with reluctance and intakes the food. 

I smile and giggle but remember that night at the hospital, one and a half year ago when Jungkook did the same act to feed me when I was admitted. 

"Don't get mad at me... just have one more spoon and it's over—" He whines and tries to push my hand away, turning his face to the other, giving me little access to his face. 

Placing the spoon in the bowl, bringing my hand to his face, I turn it to face me. "Please, Jungkook. If you have this one, I'll give you a peek-a-boo." His face lit up when he understood the meaning of it. 

According to our code, peek-a-boo in the sense, we flash our body parts for a second but do not show all of it. Like a peek only. 

He smiles lightly but I could see the sadness through that forced crescent of his smile. 

He was unconscious for a whole month and woke up just 10 days ago. He doesn't talk too much but he's comfortable and feels safe in my presence. Although it is really hard for him to consume enough food these days, he still tries, because I found a few good ways to indulge him into taking care of himself. 

He hasn't eaten a lot back then, so his digestive system is used to consuming very less food, hence he finds it difficult now to eat properly. As for his physiological health, he needs bed rest for this month. The doctor said not to stress his body too much for at least the next 20 days. His body is in its worst imaginable condition. A small part of his face, and several parts of his back and torso we're effected due to the shocks. Electrical shocks. They were minor ones, used to torture the victim, so it only ended up with bluish purple marks on his skin, but major impact on his mental health.

About the gunshot on his thigh, I spend 10 minutes everyday to have him walk around, with my support of course. He is too weak that he is not able to hold a bottle of water without shaking. It breaks me to him become quite the opposite of what he used to be. But I didn't give, I held my hope and worked hard to help him recover as soon as possible. The shot wounds on his belly and chest have healed very well but for the thigh, although it's nearly recovered and the new muscle is formed, he will still need time to walk properly.

Mister Jung, Jungkook's friend from France was giving me some lessons in the hospital to prepare for finals, and I'm glad they went well. As for now, I'm just anxious about my Uni Selection results. 

Jungkook was really happy and proud to see my final exam scores. I hit straight A's in almost all of them, except for my second language, French, where I got a B plus. But it doesn't matter. I scored well in the core subjects, which was what was important. 

Jungkook kept thanking Mister Jung for giving me lessons in the hospital. I didn't really go to school because of my weakness and I would easily get exhausted, so the teacher came to the hospital every evening and taught me till 12 in the night. I can never thank him enough.
