Chapter 28 - Reconciliation

So... Jungkook's dead!

Just kidding. I'm not that evil. I hope you enjoy!

Your POV

I skipped school until Jungkook woke up. The doctors kept reassuring me he was okay, just heavy head trauma, but it worried me. What if he forgot me? What if he forgot Jimin? What if he forgot himself? I wanted to be the first thing he sees after his hours of fear. A familiar sight would be good.

Unless he forgot me, while he was unconscious.

There was a knock on the door.

I wipe my tears and release Jungkook's hand. "C-Come in."

Namjoon walks in, holding some flowers. "We missed our presentation..."

I scoff, setting my hands in my lap. "I emailed her our notes and the intended presentation. If she has a problem with me not being there because my brother's in the hospital, she can kiss my ass."

He smiles, setting the flowers on the bedside table. "Suga didn't even get a trial because of the amount of evidence they have, as far as I've heard from him. His license has been revoked too."

"Has he been in jail this entire time?"

Namjoon nods then sits on the chair next to me. "He's going to be in jail for this week and the next because of his avoidance of arrest. After that, he won't get his license back until the end of this school year. He seemingly got off for reasons he wouldn't tell me."

I sigh in relief, turning back to Jungkook. "I'm glad... If only Jungkook could get off so easily too. The doctor said he might wake up soon, but surely by the end of this week. If not... something is very wrong."

Namjoon rests his hand on mine and offers a comforting smile. "He's a strong guy, by the looks of him. I'm sure he'll wake up any minute now."

I nod, but don't verbally respond. We sit there in silence, the monitor the only sound. Just a steady beep...

Beep...

Beep...

Beep...

"Look, (Y/N)," Namjoon says, breaking the silence. "You've been here since the weekend. It's Wednesday. Please go home and sleep."

"If he wakes up, I want to be the first thing he sees."

Namjoon grabs my shoulders and turns me to face him. "Do you think the first thing Jungkook wants to see is his sleep deprived little sister? That's not right."

"Why do you care? You're not my friend."

I could see his visible flinch, feel his fingertips shake.

"I suppose not, but I... I want to be." He looks into my eyes. "I want to be someone who knows you, who sees you everyday and is free to say hello. You're the only person who has ever been honest with me. You're the only person I've ever been honest with."

"Namjoon, I can't be friends with someone with your reputation," I sigh, looking at the floor before back to him. "It's just not who I am."

"I won't sleep with anyone. I won't kiss anyone. I won't even hold hands with anyone. I'll throw out all of my cologne. I promise." His eyes shake. "Please don't force me away because of my past. I can change."

"Namjoon, it's just tha--"

"(Y/N)...?"

I turn so fast that Namjoon's grip breaks. "Jungkook?"
