Sleep Paralysis- Jungkook

Chapter 4

I felt like crying, my weak legs were starting to give up on me. I wanted to crawl up into a ball and cry my little heart out, I worked so hard on the messages that I wrote. I was walking around the school lifelessly, my body felt like it was shutting off so I quickly went towards a bench nearby a tree and collapsed there. 

Hello... Hypnos.

I fell into a sleepy trans as my body started to shut off, soon my vision was consumed by nothing but darkness. The emptiness was all that I felt... the paradox of life and death was where I was stuck in. 

Crashing cars. Fire. Blood. Jungkook crying. A surge of visions intruded my thought, in the void I was held as the prisoner in. Why is Jungkook crying? why is my peripheral vision tilted sideways? Shattered glass was scattered on the floor of what seemed like the road, I saw a glimpse of my hand reaching out to Jungkook. My hand was covered in blood... 

Whats going on? I couldn't comprehend the situation, I was stuck in time like a freeze frame of the painful sight. Then I was awoken by the loud intruding sound of the school bell, I looked at my phone to check the time and it was only lunchtime. I guess I was only out for 4 hours... 

I felt my stomach growling so I decided to grab some food. I looked at my wallet and there was hardly enough to pay for lunch. I was sad that the only thing I could afford was ramen and I was starving. 

The reason why it was so cheap was that they don't provide the hot water, which wasn't a problem because in the senior study room we had a kettle. I crossed my fingers that the study room was going to be empty as it was lunch time, slowly I crept open the door and to my surprise, Jungkook was there. 

Jungkook had two other girls beside him who was snuggled up to trying to outdo the other for Jungkook. I wanted to vomit at the sight, there were a lot more people other than Jungkook. There were people who were studying, eating, chatting. Anxiety was slowly creeping up as there were too many people in the senior study room. Through all that chaos Jungkook managed to look me directly in my eyes, I was so nervous I just ran to the kettle and filled it up waiting for it to boil.

I stepped outside for a few minutes to take a breather and rid myself of the attacking anxiety. When I thought the water was done I went back into the room to cook my ramen, but when I entered the room I saw my ramen was all over the floor already cooked and stepped on. I was so hungry... I could hear quiet laughing coming from everyone in the room. 

I looked up and my watery eyes met Jungkooks one again and all he did was look at me straight in the eyes without any emotions portrayed on his face. I was just shocked and embarrassed I didn't know how to exit out of this situation, all I wanted o do was crawl up into a small ball and hide. I became a laughing stock... 

A tear rolled down my face as the laughing became louder as one of my classmates came up to me and started stepping on the moodles more. 

"What's wrong, can't afford another?", he smirked arrogantly. He then proceeded to grab his wallet and pull out a hand full of cash notes and he threw it at my head. 

"Why don't you take this money and clean yourself, you dirty slut.", His harsh words shattered my fragile heart. I closed my eyes to stop this staggering moment when I heard a loud groan. 

I opened my eyes and it was blurry all I could see was that someone was in front of me holding my hands. 

"WHAT THE FUCK, WHO ARE YOU?", I could hear the guy who threw cash at me swear loudly. 

"Don't you dare call her that! what gives you the right to bully her?", I could hear Taehyungs husky voice. 

I was dragged out of the room by Taehyung...

"I told you to distance yourself from me!", I shouted fearing for his security. 

"Why should I", Taehyung retorted back.

Awkward silence filled the atmosphere around Taehyung and I, Taehyung broke the silence by pulling me somewhere, at this point I was done with arguing with him. Soon I could see the entrance of the school cafeteria. 

"Taehyung what are we doing here... I don't have money", I tried to escape his grip but he held onto me stronger.

"I'll treat you today, you seem like you're hungry", Taehyung said not facing me and walking forward.

We ended up sitting down with our trays in the middle of the cafeteria, it was the same spot that Jungkook sat me and bullied me... It was the same spot he threw the tray of food at me. I felt uncomfortable sitting in that seat but this time it felt different with Taehyung.

People in the cafeteria were giving me death stares, whispering hurtful things but I was numb to it all. 

"Why is the slut with the new kid..."

"The new kids kind of hot"

"Does he not know, if you're with her only tragedy awaits them"

"What has she moved on from her daddy?"

At the start Taehyung had a worried face, thinking that all those comments were affecting me. After showing my resilient self Taehyung decided to do the same for me, he kept giving me positive energy so I tried to keep up with him. 

We were having a really nice conversation when I felt a warm hand wrapping around my wrists pulling me harshly. It wasn't Taehyungs so I followed the arm and my eyes met Jungkooks, fear crept up my arms. I was shaking nervously, what was he planning?

I yelped as he yanked my arm again shifting my position, almost pulling me off the chair. Taehyung stood up grabbing Jungkook by his collar, almost throwing his fists at him but luckily I stopped him, I didn't want him to have a negative reputation on his first day. 

"Please let me go...", I weakly let out.

"Follow me", Jungkook sternly eyed me. 

"She's not going anywhere with you", Taehyung intervened.

Jungkook replied by yanking my arm once again with immense force, I ended up on the ground with my arm still being held up. I couldn't see as much because my hair was draped over my face. It was all silent before I heard a loud groan from Jungkook as he lets go of my hand. 

Quickly I got up to see what happened, and all I could see was Jungkook on the floor groaning in pain and Taehyung rolling his wrists in victory. 

Jungkooks gang started to crowd around him as Jungkook cupped his face where he got punched. 

"GET HIM", Jungkook shouted in anger. I was stunned, I couldn't let Taehyung get beat up because of me. 

"Okay I'll go Jungkook just please stop this", I ran in front of Taehyung shouting. 

Jungkooks gang stopped in their tracts and Jungkook called them back. I sighed in relief, soon after I was being dragged along by Jungkook. 

"Why are we here?", I asked confused. We were currently in the old school building where there were no classes held. 

"You still don't remember...", Jungkook cold voice sent shivers down my spine. 

Jungkook turned around to me and stared me dead in the eyes, I took this chance to plead my case. 

"Jungkook... can you please stop bothering me... It hurts and I just want to live in peace", I begged kneeling in front of him, my tears start falling.

"I'm sorry, I just can't remember what I did... to tell you the truth there's bits and pieces of memory that is lost..." 

"Then let me tell you what happened", Jungkook harshly grabbed my wrists and started dragging me until we reached room '2-1'. 

Jungkook sat me down on a seat which made me feel nauseated. I had a weird sense of nostalgia and deja vu mixed into it which made my stomach turn. Sudden visions started attacking me, that's when I felt my body start to lose control. 

"No not again", I mumble to myself, as I start falling into the same repetitive trans of sleep. Before I fell off the chair and into the presence of Hypnos. I could see Jungkook looking at me with an expressionless face as I fall, then a small cutscene played of Jungkook in a wheelchair... 

Why is he in a wheel chair?
