I NEED U // (Jeon Jungkook)

Chapter 19.5 - Change

"Ah-Choo." I sneezed out. My mom replaced the wet towel on my forehead. I was on my bed, coughing and sneezing. I have been sick for a few days now, and I have not been feeling well enough to go anywhere.

"Mae. Are you sure that you don't want me to stay home with you?" My mother asked me.

"No mom. I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about me. Just worry about your work right now." I sneezed again.

"I thought that you'd say that. That's why I called someone here to take care of you." The doorbell suddenly rang. "Oh. They must be here."

Jungkook walked into my room. "Hey. Your mom called me over here. She told me that you were sick. I'm sorry."

"Why are you sorry?" I asked him, as I sneezed again.

"If I hadn't dropped you into the water when we went on that date, then you wouldn't be in this circumstance right now."

I shook my head. "No. It's not your fault. It's mine. I was really reckless. I was sick, the day after our date. But that was only because I was too tired to change out of my wet clothes. I felt better after a lot of rest. But I decided to make some steak, and I got food poisoning. And since I was so sick, I forgot to shut my window close. So, here I am now." I explained to him.

"Wow." He said. "How did that all even happen?"

"You should always expect the unexpected when you're around me." I told him.

"Why don't you get some rest for now? You look like you really need it."

"Okay."

When I awoke from my slumber, Jungkook wasn't next to me anymore. In fact, he wasn't even in my sight. I was afraid that he had left me.

"Jungkook?" I yelled out his name. "Are you still here?"

"Yeah!" I heard him yell from downstairs, since the door was left open. I breathed out a relieved sigh. He didn't leave me, and just that statement, caused a smile to spread on my face.

Seconds later, he came into my room with a meal tray. On top of the tray, was a bowl of soup. But before he handed me the spoon, he held it back.

"On second thought, I'll feed you."

"What? I can feed myself you know, I'm eighteen years old."

"I know. But, I'm just trying to help you. And, I won't take 'no' as an answer, from you." He took the spoon, and he filled it with soup. Since it was still really hot, Jungkook blew on the soup, to make sure that it didn't burn my tongue.

He held out the spoon towards me, and I opened my mouth, so that I could taste it.

I close my eyes in awe. "Tasty. Are there mushrooms in here?" I asked him.

"Oh yeah. There are. Do you still not like mushrooms?"

"Don't you remember? When my mom and I had dinner at your house. You got me to like mushrooms."

"Oh yeah. Now, I remember."

I smiled at Jungkook. "You changed me. A good type of change though." He smiled back at me.
