Again? 


But you weren't the one to hurt me, Yumi was.


Jungkook got up and walked away, placing the first aid kit into a storage space while I unrolled my jeans down. 


He came back in and turned on the TV before tossing the remote to me, indicating that I could watch something I wanted.


I skipped around, looking for any interesting shows or news. While I did that, Jungkook typed something on his phone and then went inside a room. 


I heard his voice through the muffling of the wall.


Is he talking to someone on the phone?


Well, that really isn't any of my business...but it doesn't stop me from wondering.


Maybe he has work? Family?


...His girlfriend?


I shook my thoughts away, brushing it off before I became too wrapped up in it. 


After a few moments, he came out and sat down next to me with a plop. 


The only sound between us was the sound from the television. At least the TV was there to put away some of the uneasiness but of course, all programs have an ending time. When this particular one ended an hour later, I just stared blankly as it switched to a bunch of commercials and random news.


Lately I've been thinking, thinking about what we had. And I know it was hard, it was all that we knew, yeah


A song began playing from somewhere and it didn't take long for me to figure out that it was a phone ringtone. Jungkook's phone.


He looked at the screen and picked it up, getting up quickly and moving away.


"Hello? ... Already? You-," he said, his voice drifting away and those being the only words I heard. 


When he came back, he abruptly shut off the television and came up next to me. His arms went around my back and under my legs, getting ready to lift me up again.


"OH NO NO, I can walk," I said quickly, staying put. 


He raised an eyebrow and seemed to consider this for a moment before moving away. 


Phew, the last thing I need is Jungkook carrying me out to the car a third time for everyone to see. 


Not that I hated that idea though.


I was already slipping on my shoes when I realized that we were going somewhere without me knowing where...again.
