Chapter Eighteen: Appease

It has been three days since Jungkook has seen you. After waking up in the hospital with much confusion, your father refused to allow you to stay alone in your apartment. Let alone travel on the train by yourself. 

You have taken three days off work, orders of the doctors at the hospital. You were already sick of moping around so on the second day you decided to visit Jungkook. 

You felt terrible for not being able to visit him sooner and apologising for what happened. You got his hopes up only to be wrong. 

The hot summer breezes you first experienced when you begun investigation slowly fell into a cold breeze since now Korea was moving into Autumn. You brought a light jacket in case the breeze decided to get chillier and headed to the train station. 

The nerves you hadn't felt before agreeing on the idea of meeting with Jungkook begun to form as the train station building came into view. 

How would he react?

You wrapped your arms around yourself as you entered the station, not because you were cold but because you were nervous to see him. The slouched posture showed it. You were so deep in thought that you had not noticed that you had arrived at the platform. The ring of the train bell was the one who knocked you back to your senses. Causing you to jump slightly, clutching your heart in fright you entered the train carriage robotically and took a seat down. You rub your palms together and allowed my gaze to wander the train cart, in search of him.  

"(Y/N)!" You hear his voice yell out before you were face to face with a worried ghost. His slightly see-through body centimetres away from touching your nose. His face was so close you could feel the cold aura that followed him where ever he went. The close proximity resulted in your cheeks turning a bright tint of red.

You quickly apologies, catching the ghost off guard. "I am so sorry Jungkook." You covered your face with your hands in humiliation. You didn't want him to see your pathetic face.

"What for?" His cute voice caused you to frown in confusion, letting your fingers open slightly so that you could see his face. 

"I~." You began only to be interrupted by him.

"All that matters is that you are healthy." He cooked his head sideways cutely and flashed you a bunny smile. You were dumbfounded.

"Jungkook your case I~." You quickly turned the conversation back to his case and tried to talk again but was interrupted yet again.

You watched as his smile faded and was overtaken by a serious one. "(Y/n), why don't you just drop the case?" He flatly said.

"What are you talking about?" You blinked several times, trying to figure out what he had said. He wasn't being serious, was he?

Jungkook didn't want to see you tire yourself out anymore. He couldn't after knowing it was his fault for causing you to overwork yourself. Which resulted in you fainting. He cared for you too much to witness it first hand again.

"Drop my case (y/n), I don't want you to continue on it." He repeated. You still did not understand.

"No I can't, you will be~" 

"LOOK (y/n), LOOK AT WHAT MY CASE IS DOING TO YOU!" He yelled, watching you slightly flinch in fright so he toned down his volume. "Health comes first and it doesn't matter if I am stuck on his train for eternity as long as you are healthy." You had no idea what to think. "Besides, I think I enjoy seeing you every day over leaving." Jungkook tried to lighten up the mood with a joke but you did not laugh. 

"Jungkook that's sweet but once I take in a case I don't give up, I promise I am a-okay and I will solve your case." You denied, no way. You said you would solve the case and that's exactly what you are going to do. You never back out. 

"But~."

"And you aren't going to stop me." This time it was you who interrupted him. He nodded reluctantly and took a seat down in front of you like always. 

The next few moments were spent in silence as the two of you had nothing to say to each other for the first time. Jungkook could not bear it any longer so he decided to break it.

"Do you have a few days off to rest?" He asked.

"Yep, three today's my second." You simply replied. Then the atmosphere fell silent once again giving you time to think. Maybe you could spend tomorrow with Jungkook before going back to work, like a hang out day?

"Do you want to hang out tomorrow?" You decided to go with it and ask him.

"Sure, not like I am going anywhere." He chuckled. 

"Awesome." You giggled along with him.

The train stopped at another train station and that was when you realised that you did not have a destination, you were just sitting there but it wasn't like this was the first time. It was okay since you could just take the same route and it would loop back around anyway. So eventually you would end up back home. 

"Jungkook?" You called before hearing a hum in response. "What did you like doing before~ umm you know." Jungkook and your gaze turned to look out the window as the two of you continued to converse. Watching the city and greenery whoosh past.

"Art." A simple yet broad answer.

"What sort of art?" You pursued.

"I don't know, everything. I loved to sing, dance, draw." There was something you didn't know and would have never guessed except for the singing part since you knew he was used to have a vocal coach. "How about you?"

"Me? I don't know, maybe photography?" You thought aloud. You, in fact, had not thought about what you liked or you guess you could call hobbies. You didn't really have much time for that. You could not even recall the last time you had picked up your DSLR since starting work. 

"Oh, I used to dabble in a bit of photography myself." He added.

"Really? With one of those ancient cameras?" You teased.

"I will have you know the camera I owned was the newest model in 1997." He retorted causing you to laugh. You liked these moments. The ones where the two of you would just sit, riding the train and chat. Nothing to do with the case but just getting to know each other. and Jungkook liked it too.
