Devil's Rose - KTH + JJK

Kim Seokjin POV

     Listen, listen, listen.
I kept telling myself as I lied frozen. I couldn't move but I wasn't asleep. I could hear a quiet noise of what I think is footsteps coming closer to me. I had no clue where I was, and my eyelids were too heavy to lift at the moment. The footsteps came closer until a heard what I think was a door opening. I heard the person sigh as they came closer and sat down? I felt a hand touch my forehead and I felt self conscious. I really wish I could see right now.
     The person took their hand away before taking my left hand and holding it. "They said you would be awake by now, I'm worried that you might not." A voice finally broke the silence. I ran the voice in my head and it sounded familiar. Extremely familiar. "Jin, please wake up." The voice said and it clicked in my head. Namjoon.
     I kept trying to open my eyes but they wouldn't move. I didn't want him to leave. Too bad I can't move my hand either. Wait. Did he say "Wake up?" Am I asleep? No, I wouldn't be able to hear. Am I in a coma? Oh god. I tried again to open my eyes and this time it worked. Well kinda. I kept trying and trying and eventually my eyes opened. "Jin?" Namjoon asked and he looked at me. Everything was blurry but at least I could see.
     I blinked a couple of times and eventually my vision cleared. However, I could barely move anything else. "Jin, can you hear me?" He asked but I didn't know how to say yes. "Blink twice for yes." He said and I blinked twice. "Okay, can you move?" He said and I didn't blink.
     He squeezed my hand and looked at me. "Rest, you should be fully functional soon." He said before kissing me on the forehead and leaving the room.

     I opened my eyes and looked around. I was in the same room as before however it was pitch black and I couldn't see. I stretched my arms and back before trying to adjust to the dark room. I still had no clue where I was, so I probably shouldn't get up and walk around. I hope Namjoon will come soon. I looked down and realised I had no shirt on and baggy sweatpants. I definitely wasn't like this when I came here, but then again I don't know. Well I remember that I talked to those guys who were in my parking spot, then Namjoon. I couldn't dig up anything else so I might have passed out.
     "Jin, you're up!" A voice said and I was tackled. I looked up at Joon and smiled. "I- can't breath." I said and he laughed getting off of me. "How long was I out?" I asked as Joon sat on the bed. "36 hours." He said and I frowned. That's a lot. "Here, let's get you cleaned up and some food you're probably hungry." Namjoon said and I struggled to stand up. "Yeah, you were pretty bad when I got you, you're probably not at maximum energy." He said and I laughed as he picked me up and left the room.

     I stuffed my face with food and i barely had time to breathe with the amount of food I was engulfing. I didn't really care about the large amount of stares I was getting as people walked by. Eventually Namjoon told them all to leave so we sat in silence as I ate all of the food.
"I'm done, I can't eat anymore." I finally spoke looking up at Namjoon. "Man, you ate a lot." He said and I looked around. Most of the plates of food were empty or a large amount gone. "Well, now I feel super fat." I said looking down at the gut that stuck out of my shirt. "You're not fat." Namjoon said standing up. "By the way, we have company soon." He said walking to my side of the table. "What kind of company?" I asked and he smiled. "You'll see. Now come on, I have to show you around."

"I'm tired." I spoke to Namjoon as we walked down the hallways. Everything was so familiar, from the colours and the atmosphere, to the way the halls twisted and turned. I couldn't place my finger on it, but I knew I would figure it out soon.
"We have one more place to go, you can rest there." He told me as we walked down the hallway. We arrived and I looked at the two guards outside. I looked at the door and I knew I've seen it before, I've seen it all before. One of the guards opened the door and I froze.
     The room was a dark red, and had black curtains. The only light source was candles and the throne in the middle of the room. This was the place from my dreams. Wait, is this a dream? No, it can't be. What the heck? I looked around and Namjoon took my hand. "What's wrong?" He asked as we walked forward. "It seems so familiar. I swear I've been here before." I said and he laughed. "Only time will tell." He said and I frowned.

     I was half asleep when Joon lightly tapped me. "What?" I asked and he smiled. "Is the company here?" I asked and he nodded. "They will be here in about five minutes." He said looking at the door. "Should I get off of you?" I asked sheepishly and he shook his head. I stayed in place and I moved my feet that hung over the side of the chair. I liked sitting here, it was warm because I was in Namjoon's lap and I could be with the one I loved most, and I could still stretch out.
     A loud knock was heard and I felt a rush of fear go through me. Namjoon must've felt me tense because he ran his fingers through my hair calming me down. "Come in." He said and he continued to run his hands through my hair. A man with orange hair entered first and he bowed. Wait, is that Sir Suha? Yes it is. "Sir Suha!" I yelled and he looked at me confused. Joon laughed and I smiled.
     "Are they here?" Namjoon asked and Sir Suha nodded smiling. "If you want to leave you can." Namjoon said but Suha dismissed the thought. Another knock was heard and Namjoon told them to enter. I looked at the guests and froze. It was Mr. Kim and Jungkook.
     Jungkook was fast asleep in Mr. Kim's arms and a wave of calm went through me knowing that he was okay. "Namjoon, it has been so long." Mr. Kim said and I froze. Wait, they know each other? "Wow Jin, you seemed too be living the high life." He said to me and a blush fell upon my cheeks. "Is Jungkook okay?" I asked and Mr. Kim looked at the sleeping boy. "The travel tired us both out, I wanted to show him Seoul." He said and Namjoon nodded. "We can take him somewhere to rest and we can finish if you want." Namjoon suggested but he shook his head. "Ya know, I'm pretty tired myself, and I can't leave him alone, especially when he doesn't know where to go." Mr. Kim said and Namjoon nodded again. "Wait, did you-" Namjoon started but cut himself off. "I'll have a guard show you to a room." He said and Mr. Kim smiled before leaving.
     "You know, I'm very confused right now, but I'm still tired." I said and Namjoon laughed. He felt my forehead and frowned. "You still have a slight fever, no wonder you're tired." He said before smiling. "I'm also cold." I said and he laughed. "I'll give you extra covers." He said slightly teasing me but I frowned. "Oh come on, can't you retire early too?" I said and he laughed. "Anything for you." He said smiling.

     I looked around in the room. The room was big, and the purple duvet and rug made it feel different from the rest of the place. I changed into light pyjamas and Joon was laying out clothes for the next day. After he finished he smiled and blew out the candles leaving us in darkness.
     He climbed into bed with me and wrapped his arms around me. I closed my eyes but I couldn't seem to fall asleep. I'm super tired. I could tell that Joon wasn't asleep either and I decided to poke him. "What is it, love?" He asked and I shrugged. "I can't fall asleep." I said and he hummed slightly. I looked around and felt self conscious asking. "How do you fall asleep?" I asked him and he sighed. "Think about something that calms you down." He said softly and I took a deep breath. "What do you think of?" I asked and a small smile came upon his face. "I like to think about that time over the
Summer when we watched the stars, I remember you forgot your jacket so I gave you mine. You looked at the stars until you fell asleep. That was the night I realised I loved you." He said and I smiled. I remembered that night, when he punched some guy in the face who was calling us names.
I searched through my own memories and found the one that made me realise that I really loved Joon. It was shortly after our first kiss and he took me to the beach. We walked through the water during the sunset and then we bought ice cream. I remember the tide came in and we sat hand and hand on the rocks. It was that moment where you could only hear the waves that I realised I loved him. I smiled and snuggled closer to him, falling asleep in the process.
