Fated Together (BTS jimin)

CHAPTER 26: strand of hair

Jennifer's POV

"I um..w-was trying to lessen your  fever" I said quickly

"I'm fine"

Seriously?

"You're burning!"

"Um..Jennie?" Lisa's voice startled me,
I quickly cut the call and threw away my phone..

"I said I'm fine" he said again

"Ok! Then I'm going to sleep."

I turned around angrily and loosened my hand from his grip when he caught my hand again and pulled me back.

"What?" I snapped

"Um..can you please stay here until I go to sleep? I'm scared I'll get nightmares again"

I softened at his look. I sat down on the floor beside the couch and sighed..

"Ok then.."

"Thank you.." he let go of my hand and snuggled closer to the pillow and closed his eyes

I sat there and saw my phone vibrating continuously..
I grabbed it furiously and saw 10 messages from none other than Lisa.

"Where are you?!"
"Who is that?"
"That's definitely not Jake!"
"Tell me"
"Now"
"Jennifer"
"Nowww"
"What's going on?"
"It's literally midnight"
"Jenniee"

Sigh..

I placed my phone away and saw that jimin had already fallen asleep..
There was a strand of hair which had fallen on to his forehead and I had the sudden urge to brush it back..

He shifted a bit which caused another strand of hair to gracefully fall on to his forehead.

I looked at him. He looked so peaceful sleeping like a small kid, but God knows what is going on in his mind and what happened that he gets nightmares everyday and is even scared to sleep alone.

Seeing him this way it seems like I started to like him a bit more, I mean I already had this familiar feeling with him which I've never figured out why or how. But he seems so normal in my life and I'm just so comfortable with him..

Why am I feeling like this? It's strange..and weird. I just hope he will tell me what happened in his life that he has to take medicines for him to go on with life. It hurt me to see him hiding all this pain and it seems like I'm the perfect person to fix this? To fix him?

Like hobi said, maybe I am the chosen one or something for him. I know it seems all childish and stupid, but maybe I could make him talk to his brother and maybe he could get rid of all his bad memories..

Who am I kidding? I'm not even that close with him. I mean who am I to interfere in his life and make decisions for him? But at the same time..I feel like it was fate that I'm here..

I looked at him again, another strand of hair had fallen on his forehead and I couldn't help but lift my hand up to his face.

What am I doing?

Despite me continuously telling myself to stop, my hand automatically brushed away his hair back to place and it lingered there for a bit until I literally ran upstairs and almost tripped and fell.

I entered my room and sighed in relief..

He's fever is gone

I could tell because when i brushed his hair back, I might have accidentally touched his forehead. And it seems he's back to normal and not sick. Yay! I'm a perfect nurse!

Almost jumping on to my bed, I pulled up the blanket and covered it up to my chin and focused on breathing..

Inhale,exhale, inhale, exhale

However I still couldn't get his peaceful sleeping face off my mind. Oteokkeee!

But hobi..

He might have gotten a new girlfriend right? And I hope I can still be friends with him..

I took my phone which I grabbed from the floor where I threw it.
New message from clarie?

Bestie: hey, here's his new contact. I thought you might want to chat..

Hobi's number..

I quickly saved the number and messaged him

"I miss y-" delete

"How are you?" Delete

Sigh..

"How's London?" Sent

I kept my phone away and switched off the lights. I hope jimin would return by tomorrow morning before my brother sees him..

.....

"Jennie I need to tell you something"

"What is it?" 

"I love you.." jimin said

I looked into his dark chocolate brown eyes and smiled, he smiled back at me.
We both looked at each other for what seemed like a long silence, but it was a comfortable one.

"I-i love you too"

He smiled more widely and hugged me hard. I hugged him back and I was never so happy..

He stepped a bit back and looked at with loving eyes, my arms were still around his neck and he tightened the grip around my waist and pulled me closer. He looked into my eyes and we stared at each other until he leaned a bit closer..

....

"Aaahh!"
