ramen|| im jaebum

you wake to a bright light, the first time you've been able to do that in over a week. shielding your eyes, you sit up in your new bed and examine your new room. the set up was still unfamiliar and it was strange waking up elsewhere.

someone knocked at your door and you told them to come in, using the softest voice ever.

"oh my god, you're so adorable!" a boy walked in, his hair dyed a bright white.

"hello?" you said, furrowing your brows at the stranger standing in the center of the room.

"oh hi, i'm bambam," he put up two peace signs. "bambam?" you ask, laughing at the awkward name.

"well, yeah. unless you want to say 'kunpimook' every time i enter the room," he replied, sass lacing his voice.

"yeah, i'll just stick to bambam," your face turns a light shade of pink out of pure embarrassment.

"anyway, i'm here to let you know that you're coming down to breakfast. it's in like five minutes so let's go!" he jumped up and down tugging out your arm.

you looked at him like he had six heads, "b-breakfast downstairs?" all thoughts of where you could possibly be flew out the window, "aren't i in a hospital?" you question.

"you could say that, now let's go, you're crippled and we don't have much time~" he whined still tugging your arm.

"okay, okay. i'm coming!" you give in and allow bambam to walk you out of the room and down the hall. you haven't gotten to change since the incident so you were stuck in short shorts and a cropped sweatshirt. not exactly the best attire.

with a little help, you made it down the stairs and bambam led you to the kitchen and eating area. six other boys were seated at a table, plates in front of them and smiles on their faces as you entered the room. that is only five of them were smiling, and jaebum was not one of them.

you take a seat in between youngjae and jaebum, you wave to the three strangers that were sitting by you. your eyes land of yugyeom sending a wave of confusion through your body.

"yugyeom?" you raise the pitch of your voice, "what the hell are you doing here?"

he pretend not to hear you and let youngjae talk, "this is mark," he pointed to another boy, his hair dyed silver, and a smile on his features. you wave and smile politely, "this is jackson!" youngjae moves onto yet another person, this one had the brightest smile, next to youngjae that is, his hair dyed a regular brown. he waved and smiled even brighter at you, you couldn't help but to smile back. "and lastly, this is jinyoung." youngjae hesitated to say his name.

jinyoung smiled a bit it seemed a little forced and it only lasted less then a second. his black hair coating over his forehead and his faces leaned against his hand, he was totally uninterested. you smile awkwardly at the cold boy, he was obviously uncomfortable with you staring as he sent a glare your way.

"don't worry about him, he's in a mood," youngjae whispered.

"oh hopefully that mood will coast over and we can formally talk," you smile trying to be understanding.

"uh, he's always in a mood," jaebum replied emotionlessly. you form an 'o' shape with your lips and nod off the upsetting news.

the eight of you ate breakfast, the boys asked a bit about you, "so how are you feeling?" mark asked, mouth full.

"uhm, better. still getting over the fact it happened, but better!" you answer honestly, dapping the corners of your mouth with a napkin.

"how old are you again?" jinyoung asked, stuffing his mouth.

"same as yugyeom and jaebum," (just pretend for me bros) you say, "18."

"oh okay, that's cool."

"okay, kylie. so in a few days you'll be able to go home, but going home doesn't mean everything will go back to normal. one of us will be walking you to and from school everyday for at least a month. we need to make sure you're 100% safe before we just say goodbye and part ways." youngjae said, quietly. his soft voice fading, but still slightly present. you nod, despite all the questions circling your mind.

"who will be walking me? yugyeom?" you asked. the group all looked at each other, reading each other's expressions, but you stayed clueless.

"uh, probably not. matter of fact, i don't think yugyeom will be here for a while, so i'll be taking you." you look over to the owner of the voice.

your eyes meet with jaebum's, sending a tingling feeling all through your body and heat rising in your cheeks. "oh, okay. thank you." you say barely above a whisper.
