• Now Playing : Little Did You Know - Alex and Sierra
Jeon Jungkook woke up to a dream he never would've thought will happen, hopefully, in real life. He sat in an indian position and breathed in and out, trying to calm himself as beads of perspiration rolled down from his forehead to his white shirt, making the material stick to his body. He was a complete mess. His hair isn't an exemption either for a few fringe was standing up in places and sticking to his forehead because of sweating uncontrollably. He shivered at the slight thought of being in that horrendous dream.
Little did he know, it's already happening. Without him knowing. Without them knowing. With her keeping the secret to herself. A nightmare for him and a sneak peak of heavenly bliss to her.
He tried to succumb himself to sleep once again after getting a glass of water and drinking the liquid afterwards but he failed. He thought that after many nights of sleeping at the couch—a thing that if one would look closely a perfectly carved name of him would be seen at the wooden armrest—he'll get used to it. But no. Tonight is different. He felt like after getting a glimpse of spine tensing images earlier, a person's company wouldn't be too bad. He anxiously looked at the door that leads inside his room (now all her's) before and cursed under his breath. Come on, man up. Just for the night. Get your shit together.
A few what if's taunted him. He didn't want to disturb her and stress her out just because of him. Now, what kind of being would want the mother of their still unborn child get little sleep? No one. Not even him, who was failing badly at making her happy. Not even him, who is about to marry someone he thought of nothing else other than a good girl friend. Take note of the little space in between. Not even him.
But he really felt obliged to open the door and join her in bed. It's just for a night, he reassured himself. She wouldn't mind right? After all, it's not like sleeping in bed together is a bad thing since they have literally done something before that he ended up making her impregnated. Right?
Right. He huffed and stood up to open the door.
He opened it slightly. It made a creaking sound and all he could do was bit his lip nervously, hoping that the irritating sound didn't awake her. A relieved sigh escaped his lips as he peered inside and saw her back facing him, the illuminating moon on the night sky the only light that was inside the room.
Without any other noises made, he entered inside and tiptoed his way towards her sleeping form on the bed. As he layed beside her, he couldn't help but relax. Just like the old times. They used to sleep together even before all of this happened. Not sleeping together just like what happened that night. They used to sleep together especially if one of them fell sick or unintentionally just because the movie they were watching was really boring they both dozed off in the middle of it. Life was good back then.
He carefully placed his palm on her stomach and smiled unknowingly, slowly tracing his fingers as it reaches her arm, her shoulders, and on her slightly pink cheeks. He propped his shoulders and removed her hand on her to get a better view of her face and felt contented when he saw how peaceful she looked. He put his fingers back on her skin as it traced on her jaw this time and in return got a reaction that he couldn't help but put a small smirk on his lips. Her face scrunched up at the feeling of someone touching her but it didn't woke her up.
Jungkook felt his heart stir and mumbled "Cute" under his breath. Maybe their child would get that cute thing from her. It would make him so happy. The thought itself made his smirk turn into a full on smile.
Maybe not.
Unexpectedly, he placed his lips on the bridge of her nose and pecked on it. After the incident, the feeling of panick swirled around him but instead of getting up and leaving he only sighed afterwards and whispered a simple "Goodnight" after tucking a strand of hair that fell on her face to her ear.
He thought that making her adjust and do the practicing all by herself on being a future parent is such a cruel thing. Why did he thought of this now? He hates himself so much by being such a terrible person. He's still her best friend. He shouldn't have been rude to her and acted cold in return of her efforts. He should've been the one lending a hand and making everything work. Not her. God, Jeon Jungkook, why are you so stupid?
He wanted to say sorry but the feeling of being succumbed into heavy slumber enticed him. With that, he fell asleep with his arms wrapped around her protectively.
Everything feels right. So undeniably right.
His warmness, his steady breathing, Jeon Jungkook alone. Corrine opened her eyes and let them adjust from the darkness before salty droplets of tears came running down her cheeks like the pit pattering rain on a mournful saturday.
She wasn't even asleep in the first place.
When he was having nightmares of her leaving with their baby, she was having one of her own. Except she wasn't the one who left. It was him, after knowing that everything is just a lie. He even came back in Mei's embrace. It was awful.
She would be nothing without him. He is all she ever wants. If he leaves, she'll be left empty handed with a broken heart full of agony.
Now that he's here by her side, which is what she had been desiring for all the time, she wouldn't and will never let the opportunity slide. Not this time.
She let out a quiet sob and let his warmness engulf her to sleep.
Although, as she closed her eyes, she wished that she could turn back time and fix the one big mistake she made that night.
Leaving him with Mei.
