Sleep Paralysis- Jungkook

Chapter 17

Jungkook's POV

It has been a month since I have seen Soeun... The past month has been nothing but hardships. I thought I would be easy not being able to live without her, but it was much harder than I thought. I tried visiting her house but everything I knocked on their door either her mother or Jimin would greet me and tell me Soeun was no home.

I knew they were lying... But what could I have done, I hurt her too many times to ask for their forgiveness. Even my mother hurt her.

The relationship between my mother and I has been very flaky the past month as I barely speak to her. My father is too busy to be around to talk at all. I usually just go straight home and ignore my mums greeting at the door and rush to my room and slam the door shut.

I only come out of my room when I need food or water, so I barely see the sun anymore besides the short period I am at school. There have been nights where I have cried myself to sleep, knowing that I could never meet her ever again.

Soeun's POV

It has been a month since I have started the school from home program, the past month I started forgetting about Jungkook and concentrated on my studies. Taehyung visited almost every day and soon my mother and Jimin became very fond of him. If it wasn't for Taehyung this past month would have been hell.

He would bring food, have study sessions with me and keep me company. Taehyung was truly an amazing person.

During the month Hypnos was somewhat tame but still attacked when least expected. The longest I was out cold was a whole day. The fear of Hypnos became evident as the thought of finding a job and university came into mind.

It was the day of the final high school exam, my exam was held separate from the others in the old building as the school thought it was best if I don't sit the exam with the other students. I walked through the school and in a month it has changed a lot.

I freely walked through the school as no one was here as I came extra early just so I could sneak into the old building. I decided to stop by my locker one last time before I leave this place for good. I was trying to apply to study aboard in the off chance I meet anyone from this high school.

I just want a new start.

I was hesitant to open my locker as last time I opened it, ripped up letters from me fell like a waterfall. Taking deep breathes I finally built up the courage to open my locker, once I opened it hundreds of sticky notes flowed out of the locker. Hesitant I picked one up.

I miss you- Jungkook

Then I picked another one up.

I'm sorry- Jungkook

And another

I love you...- Jungkook

I kept picking these post-it notes up from the ground, all of them had messages that ranged from I'm sorry to I miss you, to I love you... And they were all from Jungkook. I also missed him and I wanted to go back to him but my pride and dignity got in the way and I couldn't possibly go against what Jungkook mother said.

God knows what that woman can do...

I collected each and every one of the post-it notes and carefully placed them in my bag. Strange how something so simple can make me so happy...

I swallowed my sorrows and made my way to my classroom, I just wanted to see it one last time before I graduate which was tomorrow but tomorrow there will be more students. I slowly made my way towards my desk and it had scribbles and drawings all over it.

'I'm sorry'

'We miss you...'

'we're sorry'

'Comeback...'

'You're really pretty-Taehyung'

Instead of what I expected I got these nice compliments and apologies written all over my desk, it looked like almost everyone in my class signed my desk... A tear finally fell from my eyes as I rushed out of the room and just headed for the old building.

...

The final exams were all over. Now I was finally free, I just have to come back tomorrow and collect my high school certificate and I would be officially graduated. Now I'm finally going to leave.

Looking back at the incident at the roof I thought this day would never come, this fresh start to the ending of the darkest chapter of my life. I'm grateful to the person who took care of me when Hypnos attacked at the roof, it made me realise that there might just be someone out there that cares for me.

...

"What! why didn't you tell me you were applying to study aboard!", Taehyung exclaimed as I was talking to him inside the principles office. Surprisingly the principal didn't mind Taehyungs rude interruption.

"Hey! stop being rude. I'm in the middle of a conversation with the principal", I whisper-shouted at Taehyung who looked at me dumbfounded.

I heard a light chuckle as the principal said: "It's okay".

"Well thank you for everything this past month an now.", I stood up and bowed collecting my high school graduation certificate and pulling Taehyung outside.

"So... what are you planning on studying aboard", Taehyungs tone became serious.

"Business marketing, and market communication. It's a dual degree that would be five long years", I teased Taehyung.

"I'm coming with you. I can't be separated from you for five years!", Taehyung almost shouted.

"I haven't gotten accepted yet, we took the test literally yesterday."

"Well if you get accepted I'm following you aboard.", Taehyung sternly informed me.

"Tae no! You have a life where you can't throw it away. Plus you're parents even though I still don't know what they do might not be pleased with your choices", I retorted.

"They will be fine with it."

"No. You can't your dads probably a CEO waiting for you to graduate and take over the company.", I stated.

"No that's my mum!", Taehyung said but instantly regretted it.

"Oh so is that what she does? No wonder you live in a mansion in the most prestige part of Korea"

"I-Uh", Taehyung was speechless as he refused to tell me what his parents did.

"Common Mr Heir of a company, you can't follow me aboard.", I teased walking a bit faster.

"Okay, let's make a deal. When you graduate and need a place to work at you, call me and you will work under me. Deal?", Taehyung offered.

"Okay, so no following me aboard and be a good boy and study here in Korea.", I pet Taehyungs hair.

"Deal!"
