Clues and Deaths ➳ Jungkook

Chapter 8: Always Here

It's been three days since the play has finished, nothing suspicious happened after, it ended just like how a normal play would, except for the fact that the hashtag Brent University's Comeback trended almost everywhere, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, you name it.

Within those three days I stayed at home, safe from anything or anyone that could harm my existence.

'I can die...' I thought, knowing that such people had the ability to do such horrid things on another person, a person who might and will be me, if I don't be more careful.

'Who knows if I'm next?" The little voice in my head said as I scrolled through the page on my phone that showed airplane ticket prices to Japan. As soon as I was about to book the cheapest one my wallet could afford, a doorbell rang through my ears making me jump back into reality.

I swung my legs to the side of the couch, and started making my way through the door. As I was making my way, the doorbell once again rang making my nose crinkle in annoyance "I'm coming!" I shouted as I quickly slipped on my bunny slippers and continued walking.

My hands fiddled on the door knob, resulting it to open with an obnoxious squeaky sound as it widened more, giving me a clearer look on whoever was out there.

Jungkook...

"Hey Jenna!" He greeted me as he struggled on holding the tons of papers he had in his hands that were covering his body.

"Mind if I come in?" I quickly stepped to the back of the door and pulled it a bit more to let Jungkook enter with ease. After he had successfully entered my messy living room, I quickly turned around and slammed the door shut with my butt.

"What brings you here?" I asked him kindly, eyeing his appearance, he wore a thin white shirt and ripped jeans, matched with brown boots, his hair was disheveled and his eyes looked kind of tired while his hands were busy holding on the tons of paperwork.

"Well u-uhm you missed school for three d-days and the teachers s-started to worry and t-they wanted me to c-check up on you
and g-give me your h-homework." He stuttered as he nervously placed the huge tower of homework on the coffee table, his hands arranging his messy hair later.

"Sorry for stuttering. J-just nervous" He said as he scratched the back of his neck and moved his right foot forwards and backwards.

I giggled at the sight of him stuttering, he looked so cute as he nervously bit his red lips with his teeth, blushing a deep color whenever our eyes made contact.

He started giggling along, our laughs joining each other, creating a melody that sounded great to my ears.

"Why didn't come to school?" He asked, making the smile on my face drop to a flat line.

'I can't tell him the truth, I might die if I will..." I thought as I stared back at his dark orbs.

"Oh, I got sick." I simply replied, me being the nervous one this time, oh how quick do the tables turn.

"Are you okay now?" He asked me, his eyes staring into mine in a concerned matter, as he tilted his head.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered, smiling a smile that looked forced.

He started to walk closer to me, his eyes boring into me and before I knew it he had already wrapped his pale arms around me, making me feel the warmth that emitted from his body.

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't comfortable, he rubbed his hands on my back up and down in a comforting matter as I nudged my head closer to his chest, getting the opportunity to smell the fragrance that was stuck on his shirt.

"Remember, I'll always be here for you Jenna." He said in a calm whisper, making me feel at peace for the first time in days.

After a few seconds, I felt something vibrating in Jungkook's pocket which made me pull away. He released his hold from my back and reached for his pocket, pulling out his phone.

The smile he had earlier turned into a serious one, his eyes doing the same thing, the cheery vibe he had earlier disappeared into a more scary one as he continued eyeing whatever was written on his phone.

"I have to go, I have something important to take care of." He said, not even sparing me another look as he dashed out of the room, leaving me alone in confusion.

'You are one weird person Jungkook.' I thought as I reached for my phone and closed the tab that selled the tickets back home.
