Bully me 2 | JaeBum

Chpt. 32

Then rain started pouring. I shivered as the cold rain drops touched my skin so I quickly made my way back inside and shut the door.

Dark clouds filled the sky and the horizon growled.

"Oh no..." I whispered while watching the thunderstorm out of the window.

A thunder followed by a lightning made me flinch.

I hate thunderstorms. They scare me since I was young.

Everytime I was alone at home because my mother was gone, Jackson would be there for me. He would comfort me and make me laugh.

But now I am here at a hotel far away from anyone. From anyone that could possibly help me.

I hesitantly looked towards the bedroom door.

'M-Maybe?'

I took a step away from the window.

'I can't just crawl into his bed.' I thought and bit my bottom lip.

I took a deep breath to calm myself but winced when another thunder could be heard.

'I'll just snuggle into my blanket. I'll be fine.'

With a racing heart I wrapped the blanket tightly around my body and pushed my palms to my ears to ignore the thunders but it seemed impossible.

My eyes shut tight I started to sob lightly.

"I hate thunders..." I mumbled to myself trying to suppress the need to cry out loud. Tears started to escape my eyes and my body was shaking as the noises from outside got even louder.

Suddenly I felt someone lifting me up together with the blanket.

I was still trembling and slowly opened one eye to peek at the person who carried me. All I saw was JaeBum's straight face.

He gently placed me on the bed and took the blanket away from me only to throw it to the floor.

"I..." I tried to speak but he threw the larger king sized blanket over me.

"I know I know." He said and crawled under the blanket.

His back turned towards me he lay only a few inches away.

"I'm not an idiot... I didn't forget about your fears..." he mumbled in a sleepy voice. His body heaving up and down. I could hear his calm breath what made my tensed body ease.

I smiled relieved and drew myself a bit closer to him.

"Thank you." I whispered and earned a hum as a response from him.

After a few minutes I still couldn't sleep. It was too loud and I shrugged everytime I heard a thunder.

"JaeBum?" I whispered. "Are you awake?"

"Hm?" He mumbled. I guess I woke him.

"I can't sleep."

"Think of something that makes you happy." He murmured in a deep raspy voice wrapping the blanket tighter around his body.

"Okay." I said watching his back.

There was a pause before he shifted on his spot.

"What are you thinking of?" He then asked his back still facing me.

I smiled lightly.
