Between The Bloodshed

Chapter 6

The next morning, you sat up in bed. You went to bed rather late last night, even after the dinner ended. It was hard to fall asleep like normal. In the end, you decided to head into your office again to try and make yourself sleepy like the night before.

Kookie just sat there obediently, being a nice, quiet companion. There was a knock on the door, making your head shoot up from your book. You hummed and the door opened, a head poking through.

"Hey." You smiled softly.

"I was passing by and saw your office lights on. Can't sleep?" He came in with a tray. You shook your head.

"I brought some hot chocolate. Mind if I join you?" He asked. You repeated your action, gesturing to the chair on the other side of your desk. Placing the tray with the two mugs down, he took a seat. He held out one of the mugs to you. You graciously took it into your hands, enjoying the warm, sweet beverage before resting it on your lap.

"Ah, Kookie, don't do that." You pulled him away as he started to nibble on the corner of your book.

"I still can't believe you and Jungkook got this fella together on a whim." He chuckled, crossing his legs as he sipped from his own mug. You smiled softly, stroking Kookie's ear.

"I still can't believe I let Jungkook name him Kookie." You snorted.

"How are you feeling?" He asked.

"My wrist is fine. It's not even a strain, just a little bruised. I'm just as human as you, I get hurt too." You joked. He smiled at your response.

"I know. But that's not what I was referring to. I was talking more... mentally and emotionally. I guess we were all shocked because these things happen to us on a daily basis... So we never thought how much it would affect you or anyone else." He confessed.

"I was shaken. But... I'll get over it." You looked away.

"It's okay to be scared, (y/n)." He said softly, not in a teasing way. His voice was laced with patience and understanding.

"Do you want me to stay?" You asked randomly.

"You and I both know that it doesn't matter what I want or what the others want." He raised an eyebrow, knowing that you were just deflecting. You shrugged, chewing on your bottom lip like a pouty child.

"We're still shocked you haven't left. We thought you'd just pack and leave the moment you got home." He confessed.

"Well, I'm not exactly one to make impulsive decisions. I usually put more thought into it. Every decision is important to me. Whatever the outcome is... affects me and the clients I work with." You rolled your eyes slightly. The male gave you an amused look, laughing and raising his mug in agreement. After the drinks were done, you separated to head to bed.

"Thanks." You saluted before parting ways with him, a sleeping Kookie curled up in your arms.

You rolled around your sheets for a while before getting up. Going to open the curtains, you saw Jimin in the backyard, swinging a wooden bokken around, hitting a plastic dummy.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"Come in." You cleared your throat. Jungkook appeared, yawning and rubbing his eyes, half asleep. Without a word, you watched as he dove into bed.

"Jungkook?" You called out.

"Shhh, hyungs are too naggy. You never saw me." He mumbled into your pillow, slowly falling asleep again. You sighed with a shake of the head, this was the real side of the boys. You went into the bathroom to wash up and change. Jungkook was snoring softly when you came back out.
