[17]: A Curse

You woke up feeling like the epitome of death.

As your eyes slowly fluttered open and began to adjust to the low hospital lights, you heard a new beeping sound which you assumed was alerting the nurses that you were awake.

Though, you wished you weren't.

Your body felt like it had been hit by a train.

A soft groan passes by your lips and you clench your eyes while you turn your head.

It is when you open them again that you see him.

Sitting on a chair to your left, leaning his elbows on his knees, and clutching a piece of paper in his hands.

He is looking right at you, an intensity in his eyes that you aren't sure what to make of.

You are seconds away from asking him what happened, before he sits up straight.

"So..."

His tone puts you on edge immediately.

Naturally, you push yourself up a little straighter. You maintain eye contact with him, and wait for him to continue.

He runs his tongue over his bottom lip and a tiny grin threatens the corners of his mouth.

"Hello, Y/N."

Immediately your stomach drops and it feels like it explodes inside of you.

My name...

Your eyes sink in and your skin goes paper white. You can feel your mouth drying out at the sound of your real name on his lips.

No...

"What?" you nearly whisper. "Who...who's that?"

"Save the theatrics," he warns you casually. "So. A girl, huh?"

You gulp. "N-No."

"No need to lie anymore, I caught you." Jungkook stands up, slowly walking over to you so he is towering over your bed. "I do gotta give credit where it's due, though. You fooled me, and you fooled the others."

"I-I didn't do anything!"

You gulp thickly as you realise that you're not convincing yourself, and you're certainly not convincing him.

He stares blankly at you.

"So, my first question is, why'd you do it?"

You knew playing dumb at this point would just be wasted air, he had already found out your name. But you couldn't help but try anyway, this was your last chance.

"Do what?"

He scoffs, amused by the fact that you still hadn't given in. "You're so stubborn, Kim Y/N."

...

This doesn't feel real.

"And since I've finally figured out who you are, I think it's about damn time you answer some questions."

He really knows. This isn't a trick.

Jungkook knows your identity and you know he won't hesitate to inform your boss at the first chance he gets. He'd been out to ruin your life since day dot.

And now, he had the perfect way to do it.

In a sudden flying fit of desperation, you fly out of your hospital bed. You lunge at Jungkook and ball your fist into the fabric of his shirt, pulling him towards you.

"You can't tell them." you snarl, looking up at him. "If you tell the others, i'll fucking end you. I'm serious."

As you're talking to him, you can't help but explore the details of his face. The shining silver eyebrow piercing, and the beautiful amusement in his features. The smallest of grins residing on his pink lips, right before he licks them.
