My mood exploded, and so did my thoughts.

'Is he pranking me?' 'Oh please let him be pranking.' 

I raced down the street and then dropped to a squat when I reached him. Pushing his hair out of his face. It hit me how tired he was looking. I couldn't just leave him but how was I going to carry him back to his house? No I would have to take him to my house. I put his arm around my shoulder and tried lifting him up that way but failed. So instead I took off my jacket and put it under his butt, picked him up by the arms and started dragging him awkwardly back to my house.

"Honey what are you doing?" My mum asked staring from the doorstep of our house.

"Mum, help me." I gasped breathlessly. She didn't ask anything else and just came out and helped me get him inside.

"Isn't this Jungkook?" She asked worriedly.

"Yes." I said, I was recovering from the shock of him collapsing and a thick cloud of worry was gripping at my heart making it race wildly. 

"Is dad home?" I asked, my dad is a doctor which is rather convenient. 

"He'll be back soon." Mum said quietly.

"Should we call an ambulance or something?" I asked concern obvious in my voice as my mother looked at me sympathetically. 

"I don't think he is in too much danger, dear. I think he might have collapsed from exhaustion I mean look at his face it looks like he hasn't slept in weeks!" She exclaimed "I'll call his parents though." She got up.

"They're both in some important meetings today." I said.

"How inconvenient." Mum huffed.

"Mm." I agreed sitting next to Jungkook and brushing his hair delicately from his face. I placed his head on my lap and watched his chest rise and fall letting me know he was alright. It was getting late and mum told me to go to sleep, telling me she would look after him but when I went into my room and got ready for sleep I could only think of Jungkook and how worried I was. When I lay down on my bed I felt as though I was having a panic attack and just as I leaped to my feet to go downstairs my mum opened my door.

"Oh honey you look terrible, you really should get some sleep." She said observing my expression with motherly concern.

"I wish," I scoffed "Mum I'm really worried for him." My voice cracked a little, why was I so worked up?

"I've never seen you in such a state." Mum giggled then continued on a more serious note. "Dad checked him over and concludes what I thought, the poor boy passed out from lack of sleep." 

"Oh poor Jungkook." I sighed. "I wonder why he hasn't been sleeping." I mused.

"There's no need to worry but I can see that you won't be falling asleep anytime soon so you can go down and look after him if you so desire." She said. 

"Thanks mum." I hugged her and ran down stairs. Dad met me at the foot of the staircase and I hugged and kissed him goodnight. 

I watched Jungkook lie peacefully on the sofa and I sat down back at my original spot, resting his head gently on my legs. He rested so peacefully I started to worry just a little bit. Resting one hand on his chest I felt the steady drum of his heart which seemed to calm me along with the soft rise and fall of his chest that made me feel tired myself. I was eventually brought into an uneasy sleep.

(Jungkook POV) 

I was walking down the street and then all of a sudden my head felt dizzy and my eyes went blurry. I could feel a violent shake overcome my legs and then my knees gave way and I collapse to the ground. Everything went black after that. I was ever so slightly aware of bodies pressing in on me at one point, someone looming over me and someone touching my face softly.
