The Sweetest Escape

CHAPTER 28

CHAPTER 28

ELY's P.O.V.

I felt like floating in the air. I want to open my eyes and see what is happening but my eyelids won't cooperate. I felt my back touch something soft, must be my bed. I snuggled closer to my bed as I pull my pillow closer. I nuzzle my head on the pillow and smiled. I love how it smells. It smells like freshly laundried clothes, so cool and sweet at the same time and I think it's my favorite scent in the whole world. I felt so warm and cozy and so I let myself drift to dreamland.

I heard a loud gunshot and that woke me up from my slumber. My eyes flew open I sat up and scanned my surrounding looking for the threat only to find out that I am not in my room. Wait, where did that sound came from? Was it just a dream? I rubbed my palm in my face and ran my fingers through my hair in frustration. Just then, I felt someone stir beside me and that's when I noticed that there is a person lying next to me. I was about to scream but then the person immediately sat up and covered my mouth with his hand. "Ssshhh! You don't want to wake up the whole dorm do you?" He asked in a low whisper as he pointed the bed next to ours. I took a peek and saw a topless guy only covered by a blanket, why didn't notice him before. The guy in front of me immediately blocked my view and my eyes went wide when I realized who the person next to me is. What am I doing in a bed with Jeon Jungkook? Did we sleep together? I can feel my heart beat accelerating. How did we end up together? I can't remember anything.

"I will let you go now, but please, no screaming. Do you understand, Noona?" He asked and I nodded my head in answer. He slowly removed his hand covering my mouth. My eyes roam around his face that is only inches apart from mine. That smooth creamy white skin, pinkish lips, proud nose, his long thick eyelashes and his thick eyebrows, how can he be this beautiful when he just woke up. "Good morning, Noona" He greeted in a soft whisper with a soft smile on his lips. I felt my heart skipped a beat. I am not feeling good. His proximity is making me feel anxious. I didn't respond and hastily stood up from bed. Unfortunately, my feet got tangled up from the blanket and made me lose my balance but Jungkook's held my arm and pulled me making me land on top of him. I stiffened. I can feel his lean body next to mine. I can already feel his heart rapidly beating or is it my own? "Ahhm, excuse me but can you please let go?" I asked politely and tried to push him away by putting my hand in his chest, but he just only tightened his embrace nuzzling his face on my hair. "I really can't believe that you are finally in my arms again. I miss you so much." He whispered in my ears. My heart starts to beat unsteadily. What does he mean?

I can feel the heat rising to my cheeks and it is getting harder to breathe. He feels so warm and being in his arms feels so comfortable, it feels like home. Why? I don't understand. We just met a couple of times and yet, I feel like I have known him for ages. Is there a possibility that we have a past? I know it is impossible since he is a celebrity and I am just no one but there is really nothing impossible in this world, right? It may be brazen for me to ask this question but I have no choice. I really want to know. "Jungkook-ssi, what kind of relationship did we have.......before? How did we meet? How long have we known each other?" I can't help but asked him but he just didn't answer. I tried to look up to see his reaction him but it was a wrong move, our lips brushed against each other. My eyes widened in shock and so I pushed him away on impulse. He was also frozen in shock that is why he wasn't able to catch me this time from standing up. Unfortunately I slipped and fell on the floor with a loud thud. "Oh my goodness! Are you okay, Ely Noona?" Jungkook immediately stood up from the bed and tried to help me up with a worried look. I held my waist as I slowly stand up. Aww, my back hurts! I winced as I tried to stand up with his help. "Yes, I'm okay." I lied as I massage my back.

"What's happening? What's that sound?" Namjoon suddenly woke up from the other bed and looked around the room with panic-stricken face then his eyes landed on us. "I just fell out of bed." I answered as nonchalant as possible before averting my gaze when I noticed that he is topless. "Ah, hyung!" I heard Jungkook whined before a pillow flew on the opposite bed. "Good morning by the way, Rap Monster-ssi!" I bowed as I hide my face with my hair but I received no response. I can see from the corner of my eyes that he is staring at me. After a few seconds, he finally greeted back with a straight face. I can feel my face reddening. After that little accident and this scenario I can feel the tension building up and it is getting hard to breathe. I need to escape now. "Ahhhmm, I need to go to the bathroom." I turned my attention to Jungkook trying to get direction because I am not familiar with the place but I avoided looking at his eyes. "Noona, just turn left from the living room and you can find the bathroom. I will go with you." Jungkook offered and was about to stand up but I stopped him. "No, thanks. I'm okay. Excuse me." I declined and exited the room with my head bowed down. It was kind of difficult to walk since my waist hurts because of the fall.
