Mr. Kim's World | (TaeKook)

Chapter: 48

When I wake up in the morning, I find no one beside me. I panic for a moment before I hear a knock on the door. The door opens, revealing Mr. Kim, holding a trey of food.

"Good morning, beautiful," he smiles at me brightly.

I blush.

"Good morning," I mumble.

He places the trey on the bed and goes to the window.

"Did you get enough sleep?" He opens the curtains.

"Yeah, I did," I sigh.

"Are you sure?" He turns around.

"I think so." I shrug.

"Have breakfast," he offers as he sits down. He starts to put jams on the bread.

"Thank you, but you didn't have to do so much," I say wholeheartedly.

"I need to do more, Mr. Jeon," he hands me the bread. "I need to take care of you more."

I take the bread. His words make me flutter. He got very good with words, I see.

"Did you have breakfast?" I ask to shift this awkward atmosphere.

"Yeah, I did. Anyway, how are you?"

Confused, I frown.

"Good. Why?"

"You weren't exactly good last night," he discloses with a concerning look. "You had a nightmare?"

I get flashbacks. Last night's nightmare was beyond awful to the point that it didn't seem like a nightmare but a reality. The dead flower field, the coldness, that woman, and most importantly: Mr. Kim with a baby.

"—Kook," he shakes my hand, and I'm out of my reverie. "Where are you lost?"

I gulp down the bread that was on my mouth and take the water glass from the trey. I'm so... lost. I replace the glass.

"I had a very, very terrible dream," I disclose, "I saw myself in an unknown place. The weather was so cold and the place was very dark. I saw myself wandering, and then I found you."

"Me?" He mutters. "And then?"

"You were holding a baby, which was odd since you don't like children," I chuckle, an attempt to light his mood.

"I don't really hate children, Jungkook," he enunciates. "I said I didn't want them because I never thought I could be a good father. I want to have kids, but I'm kind of afraid," he elaborates.

It shattering that he thinks low of himself when it comes to family matters because he never had the ideal family.

"Anyway, what else did you see in your dream?"

"Oh... um... yeah — I saw that figure," I remember that vicious sight of her again.

"What figure?"

"You know, since I came here, I saw a dark silhouette sometimes. It's the same figure I saw in my nightmare, too."

"That must be terrifying. You called for me while asleep, and I instantly knew that you were seeing something horrible."

"I'm sorry I disturbed you sleep—"

"No need for that." His lips quiver up. "I'm happy that you thought of me."

I exhale. Even though I've just woken up, I already feel tired of recalling last night's episode. I knit my brows, pondering about something. In my dream, when I was freezing to death, I was suddenly engulfed by warmth, which was the same warmth I had felt when I was in the hospital in italy. Last night when I woke up, Mr. Kim was hugging me. I gulp.

"Sir," I call him.

"Hm?" He tilts his head up.

"Were you, by any chance, in Italy last year?"

His face shifts to a perplexed one.

"Why?"

"You were?"

"Yes," he answers, unsure of my reaction.

"I saw myself freezing last night, but then I felt heat on my body that made me relax. And when I woke up, you were hugging me. Did you perhaps... visit me in the hospital?"

He stays quiet, contemplating whether telling me the truth or not. He avoids my gaze, which makes it even more clear that maybe he was in the hospital indeed.

"Sir?" I implore him to answer me.

A sigh lingers in his mouth as he gazes me.

"Yes, I was there."

I don't act surprised as I have anticipated this answer.

"Why?"

"I was there for a business meeting, and moreover, I was missing you like crazy," he sounds so desperate even though I'm here. "When I got to know from Jimin hyung that you're in the hospital, I couldn't control myself."

"So you came to visit me?"

"Yeah, I did, but I didn't do anything to your body. I just embraced you because... I loved you and still do," he confesses his love for me again.

He's my mate. No wonder I always felt a deep connection with him, and when we departed, I felt a piece of me was shredding. Whenever he hugged me, my worst nightmares vanished. He's had that power over my nightmares.

"Did Yoongi and Jimin hyung tell you why I was at the hospital?" I need to know what they told him.

"No. They said it's not their place to give me any information about you. So, Jungkook." He reaches for my hand and holds it tenderly. "Will you tell me what happened?" He's... hoping.

I decide to reveal the truth because I don't see a point of hiding it. It's not like I'm pregnant and keeping his baby away from him. It was just a false alarm. Since I already decided to hear him out, it'd be better to be truthful now.

"When I was in Italy, I found out that I was pregnant—" I watch as he jaw drops from the shock. "— but it was just a false alarm. I wasn't really pregnant. I was at the hospital because I had a very bad stomach ache and fainted. There, I got to know that I'm not pregnant."

He has a flabbergasted face. I was expecting it honestly, so I let him process all the information. I drink the juice, feeling my throat dry.

As I think of it, I'm actually grateful to Jimin hyung and Yoongi hyung because they could've revealed everything to Mr. Kim, but they respected me. I don't think I'm going to find any other people like them.

"I... I don't what to say. I'm shocked," he mutters.

"I understand, but you don't have to say anything. It's good that I'm not with child because I don't think I could care for one," I honestly express my feelings.

"I understand that. You were in a traumatic phase back then," he gazes down. "I'm so so sorry for what I did. I never knew I'd hurt you so much," he pleads.

"It's all in the past—"

"Still, my behavior needs to be addressed. I want to work on myself to be the man you want."

I bite my lip. My stomach fills up with butterflies to the point I'm starting to leak precum. Oh my goodness! It's not good behavior of me. I need a shower right now.

I gently remove the blanket, making sure to pay attention to the trey on the bed. I get off and put on the slipper.

"Where are you going?" He asks from behind.

"I need to wash up," I utter out. It's so embarrassing. I quickly run to the bathroom and close the door.

I haven't been intimate, nor jerked off for months now. This may be the side effect of it. I'm not going to jerk off now with him in the house. I won't be able to look him in the eyes. The best option for me is to take a cold shower, even if the weather is chilly.
