A Skool Luv Affair(A BTS Screenshot Results Fanfic)

I knew he was going to be around, but I was not expecting to run into him, literally. as I raced down the hall and away from yoongi, not only did I crash into him, I knocked him down, and then tripped over his fallen body. why did I have to so clumsy?! if grace was something you needed to survive I would have died a long time ago. he rubbed his head as he sat up. "I am so sorry jungkook" I apologized as we both started to stand. luckily besides my hard head knocking his during the fall, he seemed fine. I, on the other hand, went back down as soon as I tried to stand. "are you ok?" he asked, catching me before I fully hit the floor. I reached for my ankle and noticed it was already started to swell. it was definitely sprained. I let go of jungkook and tried to stand on my own. I was still pretty leery of him. after all, you can't just forget a months worth of torture in 6 hours, but as soon as I let go I regretted it, wincing in pain as I started to tip over again. he caught me in his arms to steady me. he was too close. "please, let me help you" he pleaded. his face was so close to mine. why was my heart racing again?! this was jungkook! the boy who made school even harder for me, but also the boy with sincere eyes. I was about to turn him down again when I saw jin coming down the hall. our eyes met and he didn't look too happy about seeing me in jungkook's arms. he hesitated before he started making his was towards us. I quickly made up my mind to let jungkook help. I didn't want to be left alone with jin right now. "ok" I mumbled "you can help." jungkook's entire face brightened as he bent down for me to get on his back. "aren't I too heavy?" I asked cautiously, but quickly hopping on his back. "not at all" he replied as he hopped back up and began walking down the hall. I glanced back to see jin stop mid hallway. he looked angry and sad all at once. I almost asked jungkook to stop, but then I remembered his words, "I can't like you. " with that I tightened my grip around jungkook's shoulders and looked ahead. "where are we going?" I asked "I want to show you something" he said semi tilting his face towards mine. this constant heart beat change couldn't be good for my health. after climbing some stairs (this boy was stronger than he looked) we came out to this deck/balcony area. there was what looked to be a giant makeshift bed of pillows and blankets set up already. he set me down and propped up my ankle. "I'll be right back!!! please just wait for me!" he begged before running back to the door that led inside. I glanced up at the night sky. "this spot is perfect for star gazing." I thought as continued to stare. I smiled. it seemed like every star wanted to shine tonight. this was absolutely beautiful. it had been a long time since I had taken the time to just relax and do this. my apartment was too close to the city to see anything but buildings and lights. before I knew it jungkook was back with an ice pack, extra pillows, pain medicine, and more blankets as well as an ace bandage. "wow, you're really prepared!" I said looking at the items in his arms. He plopped down by my side and began to work. He placed the extra pillows under my leg for elevation, gently laid the ice pack on my ankle then covered me with the blanket. He didn't look me in the eye until his face was inches from mine, while tucking the blanket around me. He blushed and pulled away slowly. "I was actually on my way to try to convince you to come up here with me" he said grinning shyly. "This is my favorite spot in the entire house because I can come up here when I feel like things are hard and just look at the sky. It's like the stars absorb all of my problems" he said as he laid down next to me with just enough space that we weren't touching. I nodded at his theory and turned my head to look at him. "I guess I'm lucky that you needed help and that you were avoiding Jin hyung. I might have never been able to convince you to come with me." he said smiling bitterly before letting out a sigh. He was smart. I hadn't even realized that he noticed Jin had come to that hallway. "So do you like him?" he asked finally turning his head to face me. "I don't really like anyone in particular." I lied. It must have been convincing enough because he didn't question my answer. Instead, he looked back at the sky and replied, "I like you. I want you to like me too and I really don't want to give up, but the minute you start to like him let me know. I want a chance to earn your love, but if there's no room in your heart for me because it's full of him I will let go because loving you means wanting your happiness more than my own." I could barely see him through the tears that were forming in my eyes. If he had been this mature and sweet from the beginning would I have fallen for him? I truly felt my heart sway for the first time today, more than it had with Tae or Yoongi. Jin didn't like me anyway. It was me who needed to do the letting go. Jungkook glanced at me, saw the tears in my eyes, and must have automatically mistook them for tears of pain. He sat up immediately. "Are you ok?!" he asked smacking his forehead. "I forgot the pain medication!" he said as he fumbled to open the bottle of pills. He looked absolutely adorable. I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes and placed a hand on his to stop him. He froze from the contact and looked at me. His hands felt like ice as I noted it had gotten a bit chilly and he had given me all of the blankets. I smiled at him. "I'm ok. Really. That was just so sweet it brought tears to my eyes." "At least they were good tears." he mumbled to himself. "It seems like all I'm good at doing is making you cry" he finished as he laid back down refusing to make eye contact. I couldn't help it. I slid myself closer to him and put some of my blanket around him too before leaning my head against his chest. I could feel his heart go into double time. I was worried he had stopped breathing for a bit until I finally felt him release the breath he had been holding. I closed my eyes as we shared the warmth of the blanket. I felt the weight of today melt away as it was replaced with a sense of tiredness. I forgot all about the fact that dinner had been waiting for hours, or that Tae was probably looking for me. I forgot that I had almost let Yoongi kiss me and that Jin had rejected me today. I forgot about the Jungkook before confessing and school. Most importantly, I forgot all about the kiss in my apartment and the two other confessions I had received. Jungkook was right. The stars absorbed your troubles. I felt him cautiously shift underneath me as he tested wrapping an arm around me. I think I surprised myself more than surprising him as I snuggled deeper into his chest and yawned. "Will you sing for me?" I mumbled as sleep started to claim me. The last thing I remember was his voice humming the melody to "save me" from their Young Forever album.
