Jeon Jungkook is a deep sleeper. Like a bear in hibernation. He can fall asleep anywhere, under any circumstances. He won't wake up easily either. And he's known it forever, from the moment he practically slept through his birth. His mother knows it, always comments on it. Calls him 'dreamcatcher'. Finds it adorable. It's the one, the only remaining thing that reminds her of his son when he was little, when he'd fall asleep in her arms while watching a movie and wouldn't even budge if there was a louder scene in it.
When Jungkook had told his parents about his career choice, they doubted him. Not for the reasons you'd think. But only because they were worried he wouldn't wake up to any alarms going off and probably would sleep through an on-going war around him.
But considering how much of an overachiever Jungkook is, that would never happen. He'd never let it happen. He is a deep sleeper, yes, but he always wakes up when he has to. It's like he feels it in his bones, knows it in his system even when he's out of it. His eyes would shoot open and in seconds he'd be up from bed, ready to get in action.
And when her ears piercing scream echoed through the walls and foundations of this mansion, he was up in seconds.
The door to his room swings open, hitting the wall behind it, Jungkook sprints towards the staircase, head empty and only her safety his first priority. Jumping two stairs at a time, in no time he's approaching the second patch of stairs.
But there's a sudden stop, an obstacle he didn't think of at all.
It makes him stop in his tracks, panting, chest bouncing up and down from his fast breaths. Confused, agitated, he stares at Sunmi who's blocking the second staircase that would lead to the second floor. Where Vivianne's bedroom is.
"Everything's fine." Sunmi says quickly, her hands up towards Jungkook. She seems to have gotten up from bed just a second ago too, her hair up in a wobbly bun and a fluffy morning robe wrapped around her body tightly. Jungkook can barely see her features since it's so dark everywhere, the house still very much asleep as if no one just screamed like a bloody murder. "Calm down and let's go back down. She's fine."
"What do you mean she's fine? Just heard her scream." Jungkook argues, pointing up towards the staircase. He still has a feeling he shouldn't be here, just standing around. He should be checking on her, making sure she's fine like he's now being told.
He needs to see it with his very own eyes.
"I'll explain it but please, downstairs first." Sunmi insists with gritted teeth because she's scared of making too much noise.
