Fight the GRAVITATION

004

"Where have you been? School ends three hours ago," Mrs. Jung ask, wearing her apron, rushes to the front door, holding spatula highly. Jungkook put his shoes back and tidies up the untidy rack before mumbling something to answer his mom. Mrs. Jung makes a frown.

"What's wrong? They are bullying you?"

"Who?" Jungkook asks back, "I am fine mom, just tired," he throws his bag on the sofa then jumps to it, immediately curls into the ball. His mom crouches in front of him and fondles Jungkook's head softly.

"Stop it, mom, it will make me sleep,"

"Then sleep in your room," Mrs. Jung stands up. Jungkook makes a groan. He tries to sit up even though his body is telling him not to. It's hurt a lot, his body. He has not really done sport nowadays, and Jaehyun made him play the new arcade game, it drained his energy by a punch and pull and throw something, and Jaehyun bet them to play that game for two hours. The last hour, they use it to walk away before unconscious eats them up.

"I am tired," Jungkook mumbles, closing his eyes, letting himself drifting into sleep. Mrs. Jung sighs.

"Sleep on the couch is not good for your posture,"

"Hm..."

"Hey, Jungkook Jeon hears what your mom says,"

"Hm..."

"He-"

"Mom, it's smelly here,"

"-ar-what? What smell-Oh My! My cook!"

"I won't eat burned food!" Jungkook last shouts before positioning himself, so his position is more comfortable while his mom complaining about the fire and insists that her cook isn't burned at all.

The street is so vivid that Jungkook thinks it's weird. The fog doesn't want to lift, the cold remains, the sky is dark. Jungkook doesn't remember he's walking outside with the full moon trying to fight the haze. He walks with Jaehyun beside him. His best friend is talking excitedly loud, so the atmosphere around doesn't make Jungkook scared.

"Where are we going?" Jaehyun looks at him with confusing face, stops talking.

"You are the one who called me and asked me to accompany you,"

"Really?" His best friend nods. Isn't bothered by the fact Jungkook can't remember what's going on, really. He can't remember he asked Jaehyun out. He can't even recognize their surrounding. Is it a dream? He tries to pinch his arms, but it's hurt. His eyes widen.

"Am I really asked you? When?"

"Um... After dinner time, you called me, your mom refused to let you walked alone, so you asked me to accompany you,"

"Then am I told you where are we going?"

"Nope, you were silent, I thought I am walking with a ghost, but well, you are talking now and it sounds like stupid Jungkook Jeon I kn-Auch!"

"I am serious!"

"But I am more serious!"

Jungkook sighs. "Jaehyun I am serious, I can't remember any of that,"

"Oh my! The game has damaged your brain or something?" Jaehyun shakes his head.

"I am seriousssss!!!" Jungkook shouts making Jaehyun flinches.

"Okay okay, you went unconscious since you were too tired, but then your phone rang so I woke you up, then you called me and asked me to accompany you home since your mom wouldn't let you go home alone at this around night time or she will fetch you, but you didn't want that, so yo-"
