Faded Away || Jeon Jungkook

(10)

I can barely hear you, can you speak out loud.

It had been a week since Miyun's success, and it seemed that things were only getting better. Jungkook had been doing surprisingly well, interacting with people. The two of them went out often in the last week to get Jungkook used to being around people, and Miyun could see the effects it was having on him. 

The chip had been almost completely forgotten about but the thought always lingered at the back of Miyun's mind. She didn't see much of a reason to worry about it now though. Jungkook was doing fine without it so that meant he didn't need it. 

She was still working on it here and there, more out of habit than anything else. Nobody had bothered to stop her, so she took it as a reason to continue. 

"So what have you two been up to this past week?" Hoseok asked, drawing Miyun's attention back to the group. Jungkook had requested to visit the hyungs and she had obliged which was why she was now saw on the couch, between Jungkook and Jimin. 

Her hand had been intertwined with Jungkook's before she knew it but she didn't bother to do anything about it. Nobody said anything about it so she figured they hadn't noticed or they just weren't asking about it. 

His thumb was unconsciously rubbing against her hand, keeping her calm as they sat together on the couch. She could feel everyone's eyes on them as they waited for a response to Hoseok's question. 

"Miyun's been taking me everywhere. We've been to the store, the mall, the college, the library, the movies. My favourite place was the park." Jungkook said excitedly. Everyone looked at the happy look on Jungkook's face and chuckled quietly. The child like wonder she had noticed a few days ago was now making a prominent stand. 

"What did you two do at the park?" Jin asked. 

Miyun thought back to a few days ago when she had taken Jungkook to the park. He had loved talking with everyone and all of the dogs they had seen. She remembered the exact look he had on his face, one she recognized now. 

The event had ended with her giving Jungkook a kiss on the cheek before heading home. Jungkook smiled as he thought about it himself but he shook his head avoiding the question. 

"We saw a lot of dogs." He answered. Taehyung laughed excitedly at the mention of the animal and him and Jungkook quickly got into a discussion about their favourite dogs. Miyun remembered how long Taehyung's rants could go on for but didn't bother to interfere as both the boys looked incredibly happy. 

"And how have you been Miyun?" Namjoon asked, gaining her attention back on the rest of the boys. 

"I've been okay. More so happy that Jungkook's having fun. I think I might take him to one of the hospitals soon." She answered. 

"Have you decided what hospital yet?" Hoseok asked. Miyun's head shook side to side at his question. She had looked at a bunch around Seoul but couldn't find a single one she would've actually liked Jungkook to be at. 

She thought about flying him out to America as Jungkook had been programmed with multiple languages and it wouldn't have been hard for him to converse there. If it came down to it, he could act as her translator.
