Beach Love. ✔️

3: Sick...?

Your POV

               

In spite of Jungkook's warning, I decided to take a swim. 'Ocean here I come!' I thought while getting up silently and walking up to the water. Even though the sun was already down, I kept swimming for a while. It was cold but it felt nice to be in the chilly water. After a few hours of swimming in the moonlight, I came back to dry myself and saw that Jungkook was still napping. "Hey! Jungkook!" I shouted as I shook him. "What...? let me sleep a little more." he mumbled. "Wake up or I'll leave you here to freeze till death!" I threatened. He finally got up and I could see that he was surprised. Even after his warning, I was standing next to him and drenched in water with a towel on me with blueish lips and slightly shaking. "I came here to swim. So if you told me not to, that doesn't mean I'm not going to" I said to him as I turned to pack my things. He was mad but just hummed in response. During our walk back to the beach house, my head started spinning and I felt dizzy. All the sounds around me started fading slowly. At that moment, I fainted into someone's arms.

I woke up feeling dizzy again. Struggling to open my eyes, I sat up to find myself in my room with a piece of cloth on my forehead. Confused by my situation, I got up and looked around and realized that I'm now in my warm pajamas. On the desk on the right of my bed, I found a piece of paper. "I'm getting us something to eat. Take some rest and don't move..." I read the first part aloud while smiling. 'It must be (y/f/n)...' I thought then continued reading. "... You just had a little fever and nothing serious. I asked the nurse to change your clothes and help with some stuff. And I repeat, Do not move! ~From Jungkook~" My smile instantly fell and confusion grew. 'Why would he take care of me?' I questioned myself with a frown forming on my face as I laid back on bed. Pain was still stinging in my head and my body felt weak and exhausted. After a while, I heard the door open. I looked towards it to find Jungkook walking in slowly. "Oh (y/n), you're awake." He said with a smile stretching along his lips. "Yeah... Thank you for taking care of me" I said smiling while getting up and taking off the damp cloth. He quickly placed down a plastic bag he held and ran up to me. He started fixing my pillows so I still felt comfortable sitting on the bed. "You shouldn't have..." I half-whispered blushing. I started fixing my position while looking down, but I suddenly felt something cool touch my forehead. It was not damp though. I looked up and found Jungkook looking at me in worry. My heart started beating crazily and I couldn't move. "I guess you're fever is going down. Good." He said sitting back smiling. I still couldn't move. I was paralyzed as my face grew hot and red. I quickly shook my head and sat comfortably. He stood up and took the plastic bag with him to the small kitchen corner in the room. I watched him make cups of instant noodles while he was humming. A smile grew on my face. I kept staring until he came back towards me. "Here! Eat this and you'll feel better! I'm sure you're hungry." He told me handing me the cup and sat back down on the chair next to my bed. "Thank you." I said back and took the cup in my hands. We both started eating silently. "I told you not to swim, yet you did." He said but I didn't look at him. "I didn't mean to... I just wanted to feel the water again." I replied looking out the window at the bright moon. "It's ok. At least now you're ok" he said grinning. "Oh wait, let me feed you." I looked at him with wide eyes wanting to protest but he had already taken my cup. "Say ahh~" He said holding a fork twirled with noodles. Frowning and slightly blushing, I looked at him as I couldn't understand why he was doing this. Suddenly, I noticed something that broke my train of thoughts. I broke into abrupt laughter. He gave me a confused look. "Your face-... there's something on-..." I tried to say but could not continue. He still didn't understand so I got up towards him and shoved the noodle that was dangling on his upper lip. We both froze again. We were so close and stared into each other's eyes for what seemed forever. I regretted my rash actions and jolted back. He just put his head back down as I could see him blush. I sat back and it went silent again. He then gave me my cup and stood up walking towards the terrace. "Wow!" he said while opening its door and revealing the amazing view of the silver moon in the jet black sky as cool breeze blew in making me slightly shiver. "I haven't got out there before." I said jumping out of bed and dragging a jacket with me outside. We stood there watching the ocean waves collide against each other. After a few moments, we sat across each other on the comfortable chairs there and started talking. "You know, I haven't noticed you at school before." he said looking at me as the moon shone on his perfect yet imperfect features. "Well, I am not the type to meet knew people. I've only had (y/f/n) with me ever since my first year." I said smiling softly. "Really? Wow, it's a shame. You're really friendly and a fun person to spend time with." he stated with wide eyes. I chuckled softly. "Well it's my fault for not letting anyone in." I said then continued "I don't really trust people. They have broken me way too many times." I said looking down and remembering all that I've been through. "I had a lot of 'friends' who betrayed me and a lot of boyfriends who broke my heart repeatedly. I guess I shouldn't have been easy. I felt my heart breaking apart little by little. I even lost purpose in my being. That was until I met (y/f/n), I couldn't trust her a lot at that time. But as she helped me get through stuff and we grew closer." I explained to him smiling. He listened carefully then hummed in response. He seemed speechless and lost in his own thoughts. "But now I feel much better as I build those large thick walls that'll protect me from heart breaks." I said in a heroic and light hearted way to lighten up the mood. A moment of awkward silence passed as Jungkook broke it. "What if there was someone who broke down those walls and made you feel better, would you... let them in?" He asked shuttering, staring at the vast ocean in our view. I thought for a moment then sighed. "I really don't know..." I answered honestly. I knew he was referring to himself from the way he was saying it and the way he acted, but I wasn't really sure of how I'd feel if he became a part of my life. For a few minutes, the ocean waves were all we heard and saw as the moonlight shone on them. "What about you?" I asked looking at him with my chin resting on my hand. "What about me?" He asked confused. "Well, you seem so open and happy all the time, but I'm sure there's so much more than that." I replied making him switch to a soft smile. "Yeah, you see right through me, don't you?" I said while chuckling and sitting straight as I nodded smiling. "I'll only tell my special person about my story." He smiled. "I hope I meet that person one day too." I said while sitting back too. "How do you think that person would be like?" I asked curiously. "Well, she's a really mysterious yet kind person. She cares about everyone and doesn't listen to orders." He said looking into the ocean and a soft chuckle escaping his lips. "I think I already met her." He said as I froze and tumbled through my thoughts. I stared into his eyes that were shining from the moonlight as he stared into the ocean. I knew that he might have been talking about me, but I was battling it in my brain. I realized it became awkward and replied quickly. "That's kind of specific, don't you think?" I said relaxing from the tension as I closed my eyes and smiled, but I didn't get a reply. As I opened my eyes, I saw him walking across towards me and shock was written across my face. He then sat on his knees in front of me and looked me in my eyes. "You're so dense." He said and flicked my forehead softly. He rested his elbow on my leg as his arm held his chin. I wanted to say or do something but I was paralyzed once again. I was paralyzed by him. My mind was blank. We stayed in this position for a while until someone suddenly opened the terrace door as we both jumped back into our earlier positions.

"Oh, you're my roommate, right?" a girl asked as she looked curiously at the both of us. "Hm... Yeah, my name is (y/n). Nice to meet you." I got up and shook her hand. "My name is Jenny. Nice to meet you too." She smiled then looked back at Jungkook. "Oh right! He's Jung-" he cut me off "Hello, my name is Jungkook. Nice to meet you." he continued with a smile as he stood up. The truth is that even though we shared a room along with a third female, we didn't meet her. "I haven't seen you neither yesterday night nor earlier today." I stated to her with a hint of curiosity. "Well, I spent last night with some friends and I haven't actually stayed in the room either." She stated. It was starting to get awkward so I held Jungkook's wrist and pulled him out the door. "I'll talk to you later!" I said to him loudly wanting to shut the door. "(y/n)!" he said stopping me. "Yes?" I replied. "Your number?" He grinned happily as I rolled my eyes. I went to my desk and wrote it down and gave him it. He smiled happily as I closed the door. I could hear him whistle through the hall. I giggled to myself at his cute acts. I cleaned around and laid back on bed while Jenny got inside, locked the terrace door and slid the curtain on it. "Ahh, my head is spinning again. I should sleep..." groaning, I mumbled to myself. "Is that your boyfriend?" Jenny asked with a slight smirk making my eyes widen. "What? No!" I replied almost instantly as she shrugged and went in the bathroom to change. As I closed my eyes, I thought of Jenny's question and everything that had happened. "Nah, it's nothing..." I thought to myself and drifted to sleep.
