Sparks ➳ J.JK

Chapter 19

I walk towards my seat, slowly.
I smile as I make eye contact with Jungkook.
Soo-ji is now sitting in front me, busy reading something. I decide not to disturb her and slowly sit on m chair.
Jungkook just sits beside me watching.

I open my textbook, fiddling with the pages, aware of his look on me.
Enough, I turn around towards my right so that now I'm facing him.
"What are you staring at?"
"Nothing."

I just  nod and head back to look into my book. It was getting awkward.

Soo-ji now turns around.
Yes! my savior.

Her facial expression changes ones she notices me.
"What's wrong with your eyes?," she questions curiously.
"I could not get a good sleep last night,"I lie.
I don't want her to worry.
"Come on it looks like you were crying for years."
I shrug her off.
"Did you complete the homework,"I try my best to change the topic.
"Oh no! We even had homework?"
"Yes."
My trick worked.
"Give me your copy,I'll try to complete it as soon as possible."
I just nod and search for the notebook. Once I find it I pass it on to her. She takes it and turns around to continue with the work.

The school day soon ends.
As the last bell rings everyone start to walk out Of the classroom.
"I have club activity today I can't join,"soo-ji whispers before leaving.
"Okay."
I slowly make my way towards the door when someone grabs me by my hand, pulling me outside.
Jungkook.

This guy has to stop popping of out no where.
I just follow him without a word. I din't know why but I'm wasn't in the mood to argue.
He keeps leading me and we finally stop at the park.
He smirks once we reach there.
"Okay, why are we here now?"
"Cause it's fun."
"What is?"
"It's fun watching that annoyed face of yours."

"Jungko-"
"Oh come on! Don't start it already."
"Okay, but why are we even here."
He walks around and finally decides to sit at the nearby bench, tapping his palm on the place next to him, gesturing me to sit. I slowly make my way and sit there.

"I just wanted to talk."
"Talk about what?,"I curiously ask.

About today morning?

"Okay I'll not beat around the bush, are you suffering from ptsd?"
Okay that is too blunt.
"Yes, you could say that,"I confess.

"I can help."

"How?"

"I once suffered too. But I got over it. Remember I mentioned an accident. I lost my mother in that accident. She died in front of my eyes. It all felt unreal. I felt guilty.
I suffered for almost an year. The doctors couldn't help, but later on I got over. I understood that it would not help if I stayed the same. I longed for someone to talk to. I found a friend, Jimin. He listened to me.
He helped me and now I think it's time I help you."

"You lost your moth-er?" I stutter, the vision of my own mother in front of my eyes.
"But what about Mrs.Jeon"

"She is my stepmother. She is a great woman. My father married her after my mother's death. He though that it was necessary for me to have someone to depend on. But I couldn't see her the same way."

"Oh."

"That's why I always acted arrogant towards my father. I know that he just wanted to help me but I don't think anyone can replace my mother."he shrugs.

I just sit there and listen to him carefully. I'm happy he wanted to help but will he be able to actually help me?
Maybe only I have the answer to that.
