Falling Slowly ↭ jikook [COMPLETE]

15. Preposterous

"Jungkook?" The voice seems hurt. I'm quite shocked. I never thought that someone will walk in on us and think about it in a wrong way. I remove my lips off Halla's forehead to look at who it is.

"Jieun," I whisper as I get off the bed, "It's not what you think."

"I thought you were gay," She looks at me in disgust. I don't know if it's because of my face or the fact that she saw me kissing a girl. She takes a step back every time I take a step forward to her, "I even shipped you and Jimin together."

"Jieun, no, please let me explain." I beg her. I try to hold her hand to keep her from going away. 

"Let Jungkook explain, you fool!" Halla interrupts. Jieun stops moving and nods.

"Talk." She closes her eyes.

"I'm actually gonna get Jimin back. I thanked Halla for convincing me by kissing her forehead, then you walked in on us unexpectedly and, unfortunately, at the wrong time." I explain to her. 

"Is he telling the truth? She asks Halla.

"B*tch! Sure he did. And I won't date that guy. Honey, he gay." Halla speaks. Jieun laughs due to embarrassment.

"I was so dumb for jumping into conclusions. I'm sorry." She bows, "Let me help you get Jimin back so I can make it up to you."

"Okay, if that's what makes you feel better." I smile. She awkwardly exits the room, her gaze is still on me, making her bump into someone's chest.

"Sorry." She scratches her head in embarrassment. Her mind is all over the place. The guy she bumped into lifts her chin up to look at him. That's when I realize that the guy is the one who almost got me killed. The guy with the sharp jaw and the strong facial features. I quickly hide behind the door and gently close it.

"Man, that was awkward." Halla laughs.

"Do you know that guy?" I point outside.

"Who?" She asks, eyes wide, completely unaware. I sit beside her.

"Never mind. He is one of the boys who almost killed me earlier." I breathe deep.

"Where? I'm gonna kick his ass." She stands up from the bed but I stop her.

"Don't make any trouble, please, for me." I beg her, "He'll come to his senses and change for the better." I hope that I'm right. She looks at me for a moment then comes back to sit beside me.

"Thank you." I smile at her. The door opens and the nurse enters the clinic.

"How are you feeling, Jungkook?" She asks me.

"I'm all right." I smile at her, though my face and body still feel kind of numb.

"Do you think you can go back to class with that condition or I'll just let you rest until the bell rings?" She rubs my back.

"I think I can go back to class and I have a relationship to save." I stand up and thank her. She turns her attention to Halla.

"You! Go to your class." She commands her. Halla flashes her a finger. The nurse gasps.

"Come here, you brat!" The nurse stands up and Halla pushes me playfully to exit the room. We run and run until the nurse is out of sight.

"Why did you do that?" I laugh, remembering the look on the nurse's face.

"I always do that to my sister." She admits. I pause.

"She's your sister?" I ask her. No wonder why they both look like and she always get scolded by our nurse.

"No. She's my father." She says sarcastically. I playfully slap her arm.

"Fool." I sneer.

"No, girl. I ain't a fool. Go get your man." She pushes me. I look at her and smile. She nods.

"Good luck with your man! And don't fail this time. But if you fail, I'll be here for you!" She yells. Her voice echoes in the empty hallway. I run my way to Jimin then I bump into someone because I'm not looking where I'm going, making us both fall on our butts.

"I'm so sorry." I stand up quickly to help her stand up. I stop for a moment when I realize it's Eunji, the girl Jimin uses as his beard. (beard - a man or woman used as a cover for a gay partner.)

"Thank you." She smiles but it soon fades when she looks up and sees who I am, "Jungkook..."
