MIA & JK

mia tossed and turned on her blown up mattress. after trying that one exercise of compliments, the two decided to call it a day, leaving the rest of the time to making dinner and cleaning up their area before getting ready for bed.

it was still light out but the two decided to hit the hay early.

worried jeongguk would be bothered by her constant motion from across the tent where he had his mattress, she attempted to stay completely still. for some reason to her that also meant not to breathe.

at the sound of mia struggling to hold in her breathe, jeongguk looked up from his comfortable slumber in bed and turned to his side in concern. his face warm from his pillow, hair tousled.

"mia?"

mia immediately let go of her breathe.

"yeah?" she asks coughing, her face turning beet red.

"you okay?" he asks, his voice deep and groggy laced with worry.

mia attempted to quiet the butterflies in her stomach with a clenched fist. don't turn around you know how cute he is when he's groggy. 

"yeah, i'm okay. you can go back to sleep. sorry," she assures him.

"are you sure?" he asks, his voice fading as his heavy eyes attempted to pull him back into his slumber.

mia chuckles quietly at how cute he sounded fighting his sleep. she wanted to turn around and see him but decided against it. "yes, jeongguk. go to sleep sleepyhead."

jeongguk lips twitch. "i..."

mia perks up in hopes to hear him speak more but his quiet indicates that the sleepyhead did in fact, sleep.

she let out a sigh. she missed her room already. it was so safe there but not at the same time. she wondered if her mother would go into her room now that she wasn't there and search through her things.

eh, maybe not. mia internally gasped. wait, but my brother probably would.

hell, she even missed him. the sounds of night at home differed greatly from the night in the woods.

she felt alone. lost. a panic began to brew in her as she stared emptily at the walls of the tent curving around her. it was beginning to feel small.

her heart was pounding. she put a hand to her chest as if to stop it from running.

suddenly, jeongguk cried out into the silence.

mia shot up as did her heart rate as she turned around to look at jeongguk.

he was glitching, clutching his chest while his body pixelated in blue and red in and out of reality.

"gah!" he exclaimed, squeezing his eyes shut at the pain.

mia raced to his side, getting on the mattress and attempted to grab his hand. her hand simply went through him. she gasped. 

"no no!" she cried out. "it's okay jeongguk, you'll be okay! just try to breathe! it doesn't last long!" she couldn't think of anything else to say to comfort him only praying it would stop before it could get any worse. she couldn't imagine what he was feeling. she felt dizzy at the different parts of him disappearing and hearing the faint sound of electricity surge through him.

the effect slowly wore off and mia gasped, watching as jeongguk took a shaky breathe, him all in one piece.

she reached out and touched his cheek to make sure she could. she sighed in relief as her cool hand touched his warm skin.
