Hidden Embers: A Tale of Unspoken Love || JJK

Part : 25

Y/n slowly lifted her head, looking at Jungkook, she began, "Actually, Jungkook... Can you repeat what you said before I fainted?" Jungkook listened carefully, trying to recall his words.

"My last words before she fainted..." He pondered for a moment, then remembered it was his confession.

"You want me to confess again?" he asked to confirm, and she nodded gently. Jungkook felt relieved, realizing it wasn't a tense situation as he had feared. Moving closer, he gently caressed her hands and softly said, "I love you, Y/n."

As soon as she heard his words, she felt overwhelmed by the moment and the feelings she couldn't express.

"I love you so much that it hurts when you're not with me," he said, smiling at her. But his smile faded when he saw tears in her eyes. His expression turned concerned.

"Y/n..." Before he could say her name, she hugged him tightly, leaving him confused and worried. She started sobbing on his shoulder, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Jungkook's heart began to race with a mixture of concern and something he couldn't quite pinpoint as he felt the warmth of Y/n's tears seeping through his shirt, soaking into his skin. The realization that she was crying so intensely struck him deeply, evident by the rapid thud of his heart against his chest.

"Y/n, what's wrong?" His voice trembled with worry as he reached out to gently touch her trembling form. The sight of her tears filling her eyes and streaming down her cheeks stirred a whirlwind of emotions within him.

As her body shivered with sobs, she struggled to speak between breaths, her words choked with emotion.

"I never thought I would hear those words from you, Jungkook... that you would never like me," she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper amidst her tears. "I thought I would always just be by your side like this..."

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock and concern, his own emotions welling up as he absorbed her confession. The weight of her words hung heavily in the air, filling the space between them with a palpable sense of vulnerability and longing. It became increasingly difficult for him to maintain his composure, his own tears threatening to spill over as he grappled with the depth of her emotions.

"I'm sorry, Y/n. I'm so sorry for making you wait this long, for making you think like this," Jungkook said, gently stroking her hair and rubbing her back in an attempt to soothe her pain. Y/n felt even more overwhelmed by his words, sobbing harder as she felt his warmth against her, relishing his touch, his heartbeat—everything she had once yearned for was now fulfilled. She couldn't believe her luck, feeling as though fate had finally taken her side. Desperate to hold onto him, she clasped both of her hands behind his back, locking him in her embrace. She feared that if she loosened her grip even slightly, Jungkook might slip away, distancing himself from her once again. They were so close that their warmth melded together.

On the other side, Jungkook felt the same way. He knew she loved him, but he hadn't realized just how much. He had never imagined he would find someone who would love him so deeply, who would cry so much for him. In that moment, he realized that there was someone like that for him, and it was none other than Y/n. She was his, only his. The intensity of their feelings for each other was such that they felt they needed each other to breathe, as if their own presence was suffocating. As they stayed locked in each other's embrace, someone watched them with tear-filled eyes from behind the glass door of the hospital. He was none other than Jungkook's father, who was now also Y/n's father. Jungkook's father had come there after bringing her medicine.

However, before he could open the gate, he saw them hugging each other. He felt an overwhelming sense of happiness, a feeling he had never experienced before. Seeing both his children happy together filled him with immense joy; he had longed for this day for eternity. He stood outside for a while, admiring them, until he noticed them breaking the hug. Y/n had calmed down, and Jungkook gently wiped away her tears and gave her some water to drink. Seeing the opportunity, his dad took a deep breath and entered inside, drawing their attention towards him.

"Dad..." Y/n whispered, and his dad quickly approached her, asking, "My child, how are you feeling now? Are you okay?" His concern was evident on his face as he looked at her, waiting for her response. Seeing her smile, his dad felt relieved.

"I'm okay now, Dad, don't worry," she said softly, smiling.

"Thank God, I was so scared," his father said, sighing in relief, as both Jungkook and Y/n smiled. Everything felt peaceful around them, their hearts at ease after so long.

Jungkook then helped Y/n lay down and rest for a while until they received the discharge orders from the hospital. Y/n still felt a bit dizzy, making it tough for her to keep her eyes open for long. Jungkook and his dad waited patiently for the discharge orders while Y/n rested.

After a few hours, the nurse informed them that they could take Y/n home. Jungkook and his father thanked the hospital staff before preparing to take her home. Y/n struggled to walk properly due to her dizziness and weak body, so Jungkook guided her towards the car.

"Jungkook, you sit in the back with her. I'll drive," his father said. Jungkook replied, "Okay, Dad," as he helped Y/n sit properly and gently rested her head on his shoulder. His dad started driving the car, and by the time they arrived, Y/n had already fallen asleep. Jungkook noticed this and smiled, watching her sleep peacefully.

"We're here," Upon reaching home, his dad said, "Yup, Dad, Y/n fell asleep, so I'll take her to her bedroom." Jungkook replied. His father said, "Sure, son, take her. I'll be in the living room." Jungkook nodded and carried her in a bridal style, careful not to wake her up.

He took her out of the car, and his father unlocked the door with his spare key and they made their way inside the house. Inside, Jungkook's father settled on the living room sofa while Jungkook quietly climbed the stairs, carrying Y/n. With a gentle push, he opened the bedroom door, allowing them to enter her room. Slowly and carefully, Jungkook placed Y/n on her bed, ensuring she was comfortable before tucking her in gently.

As Jungkook looked at Y/n sleeping peacefully, a warm smile spread across his face. Leaning down, he softly kissed her forehead, feeling a surge of love for her.

"Seeing you sleep so peacefully makes me feel even more drawn to you, knowing you're mine," he whispered quietly.

After taking a moment to admire Y/n's calmness, Jungkook reluctantly left the room, silently closing the door behind him. With one last glance at Y/n, he left her to rest, feeling grateful for their bond.
