Can't Let You Go || JJK [EDITING]

Chapter 16

I sipped some chocolate milk while I was watching the movie. It was already my third mug of chocolate milk. Ugh. I just can't resist chocolate. My brother in contradiction was partly covered under the blanket next to me. Every time there was a jump scare my brother clung on my arm like a koala. I enjoyed him getting scared, it was very rare seeing him like this since he always tries to act cool.

The main character screamed as the demon dragged her to hell in the ending, after a couples of seconds the screen went back and the credits appeared. I turned the TV off and went to the kitchen leaving my brother alone in the not illuminated living room. I washes my mug and went back to him who waited impatiently me to go upstairs with him. After the movie, the scary scenes were printed in his mind that's why he didn't dare to go alone upstairs. We went upstairs and I was about to enter my room when my brother spoke.
"Can I sleep tonight with you?" He said in a pleading tone.
"Sleep in your own room." I gestures him to go in his own room.
"Please?" He begged me as he held my hand.
"Mmmm...? Well, if I may eat ALL your ice creams and cookies in the kitchen then you may." I smirked.
"No, you can't do that!" He almost shouted letting go of me hand.
"Hey! Lower your voice, mom and dad are sleeping!" I whisper-shouted holding a finger in front of my lips.
"You know what? Go and sleep in your own room." I was about to close my door when his foot blocked the door from closing.
"Okay. Ice creams and cookies are all yours." His face peeked out of the door. I let him in and told him to get his own blanket. We always end up fighting for the blanket because this guy has a habit of rolling the whole the blanket beneath him, so that I'm left uncovered.

The urge of peeing woke me up that night. Ugh. I shouldn't have drank that much of chocolate milk. I forced myself to get up from bed. With my partly closed eyes I went to the bathroom and did my thing. As I was washing my hands my stomach growled. I knew I couldn't sleep on a empty stomach. I had to eat something. I exited the bathroom and startled when I saw a figure standing at the doorway of my bedroom. I couldn't see the person clearly because first off all I'm sleepy and second, the lights of my room were turned off so I could only see a shadow.
"Don't try to scare me and go to sleep." I said assuming it was my brother pulling a prank on me. His figure looked bigger and taller though. I just shrugged it off and went downstairs to eat something.

I went back in my bed and as I already knew my brother was awake. Well, he was trying to scare me a few moments ago.
I covered myself with my blanket and felt my brother shifting in the same blanket as me. He grabbed my arm with one hand and shook me awake. I heard him calling me but I just ignored him. I was so listless that I just moved my back to face him. This time he shook me hard enough to earn an elbow from me on his face.
"Noona, noona!" He whispered in my ear.
"What the fuck is wrong with you! Let me asleep!" I said in annoyance as he kept pulling my T-shirt. He whispered something in my ear about someone in the room but I didn't pay any attention what he was saying to me.

I woke up with my back completely covered in sweat because my brother back hugged me whole the night.
I looked at the time and realised it was school. Ugh. Why did we even decide to watch a movie when it's school the next day?

I was eating my cereals when I remembered the main reason why I slept bad.
"Why did you bother me last night?"
"I just thought I saw someone standing at the doorway when you went to the bathroom." Ah, this guy knows I don't fall for his tricks. Then why is he even trying making me believe there was someone or something like a ghost in my room?
"I know it was you who was standing there." I said to him.
"You saw him too?" His eyes widened. "I thought I was imagining things because of the movie we watched last night." His voice said in shaky tone.
He has to be kidding me, right?

My brothers words were roaming in my mind as I walked out my house. That's when someone called me. I looked at the direction from where the voice was coming from. Jin was cleaning his car. He waved to me.
"Hey!" I responded.
"Want me to drop you to school?" He said with a warm smile.
"No, I'm fine but thanks for the offer."
"I insist." This guy is always being a gentlemen. Mary is so lucky to have him.
"Okay then."

"So how's life doing?" He said breaking the awkward silence between us.
"Fine and yours?" I glanced at him for an answer.
"Good." He parted his lips again to speak but pressed his lips back together like he was going to say something that didn't fit the moment.

My eyes went back to the window next to me. I looked at the sight that was passing by. Students on their way to the same school as me, people on their phone while driving, everyone is busy busy busy. Well, this is life. First go to school to get a decent job. Then work your ass off to feed yourself and your loved ones. Then you die. You never actually get the part to actually enjoy your live. Well, this is life and you have the accept this because it's reality.

"Are you close to uhm... Jungkook?" Jin's words got me out of my deep thoughts. He looked at me as he spoke with a worried glance in his eyes. Hearing his name made me recall what happened at his house.
"No, he's just a friend, not a close one." I looked back outside.
"How was he when you met him before?" I asked in curiosity. Was he also this 'personality changing' before or did change when he lost his family.
"I don't know how I should tell you this but consider this as your big brother's advice to his little sister." He parked in front of my school. I still didn't got out of the car because I wanted him to finish his words.
"Just take some distance from that boy. You need to know about him and I don't want to hide things from you." He then looked at his watch and took a deep sigh. What is he or Jungkook hiding from me that I should know? I'm really curious what he wants to tell about Jungkook but why do I need to know about him.
"I don't think it's the right moment to explain this so come this weekend to my house. Okay?" He caressed my head. I smiled back. Is it that important that I have to go to his house? I have no problem with going to his house but what is bothering me is did something happened in the past that only Jin and Jungkook know about that they kept as a secret? Well, Jin didn't seem that happy that day when he met Jungkook at the hospital. I'm for sure he doesn't like Jungkook at all but why? Maybe he's gonna tell me this weekend?

"Now go! You're running late!" He said. We bid good bye and as I exited his car I saw Jungkook staring at our direction. I didn't know if he was looking me was because my eyes sight isn't my best perception. I walked to the entrance where he was standing. This time I could see him better. He was standing there emotionless, his dark eyes didn't leave Jin's car until it was out of sight. His eyes averted to mine which sent shivers to my spine. He was staring at me like vampires would stare at their prey in the movies. Gosh, I should stop watching horror movies.
I just wanted to pass by him as fast as possible. I speed walked just next to him when he grabbed my wrist and spun me around to face his eyes that were full of darkness and exasperation.
"Jin hyung told something about me. Didn't he?" I gulped.

How did he know that?
