The Air We Breathe || JUNGKOOK

Chapter 7

Nightfall came quicker than I thought and I found myself walking back to my room with Taehyung. We got to my door and I heard him sigh. "You know Y/N." 

You face him as he leans his shoulder against the door frame and running his long fingers through his silver hair. 

"I've never seen Kookie this happy before. And I've known him for a while now." He says smiling.

"Well I'm happy to hear that Taehyung. As long as it means he will get better." I respond twiddling my thumbs. 

"Heh, I never thought he would love someone again, after........" Taehyung whispers under his breath, talking to himself, making my curiosity rise. "After who?" I ask and his eyes widen as if he was caught. "I uh..nothing. It's not my place to say." He says. 

As if it was his luck, Dr. Su walked up to us with someone at her side. "Dr.Su! Nice to see you! I was just dropping Y/N off for the night!" Taehyung says, obviously nervous about what he had just said. Dr. Su bows and smiles. "Taehyung. Good to see you. I am to assume everything went okay today?" She asks and we both nodded. 

I look at the man standing next to Dr.Su and tilt my head as I observe him. Dr. Su notices my staring and speaks up. "Oh! Y/N I want to introduce you to your new caretaker filling in for Emily at the time being." She says, ushering toward the man.

Taehyung's eyebrows burrow at the man before bowing and saying goodbye, to immediately taking out his phone and dialing a number, putting it up to his ear.

What the fudge balls?

My attention turns toward the man once again as his icy blue eyes met mine. He stood about 5'8, pale skin. He had the most plump lips I have ever seen and he had a strawberry color to his hair. Soft red, but still vibrant enough away from brown. 

"May I introduce Park Jimin. He has a PhD in medicine and human relations." Dr.Su says as Jimin bowed to me respectively then stands up licking his lips.

No way, someone that good looking, has a PhD in medicine AND Human relations. I call the system rigged. There is no way.

"It's a pleasure Miss. Y/N." Jimin smiles, making me blush.

Wait, what the fudge? BLUSHING? No, I don't blush. Y/N does not blush.

Unless it's with Jungkook.

"I will leave you two to get acquainted. Good night Y/N, good night Mr.Park." Dr.Su says walking in the opposite direction, leaving us two by ourselves and an awkward silence.

"So.." He says. "So...." I reply. 

"Do you want to open the door? I don't have a key yet." He chuckles, pointing to my room behind me. "Oh! Right!" I exclaim turning around and fumble with my key trying to open the door. I open it and walk inside of the mess I call my room, turning on the lights. 

"Sorry about the mess. My last caretaker was like my Mom, so I didn't think about cleaning my room." I shrug and he chuckles. "That's okay. I can't say my room is much cleaner where I live." I sit on my bed crossing my legs as Jimin looks around my room.

God, I hope I didn't leave nay underwear out.... crap. What if I did? Quick, make conversation so it doesn't get awkward.

"So, uh, Mr. Park--" I start

"You can call me Jimin." He smiles, placing his bag in a near by chair.

"Jimin... how old are you?" I ask. 

"I'm 24." He smiles.

"And you already have your PhD in 2 areas? That's not possible." I say crossing my arms. Jimin sighs and rolls his eyes. "It is when you graduate early doll." 

Doll......

My mind immediately flashes back to this morning, last night, when Jungkook called me doll. I thought of his Bunny smile, and his midnight hair.

Him...

I turn on my phone and admire the photo I set as my lockscreen. It was a photo of Jungkook sleeping with his mouth wide open. Taehyung took it when we were Skyping. "Is that your boyfriend?" I hear Jimin's voice suddenly next to me making me jump as he scared me.

"Oh! Sorry! I didn't mean to scare you." He smiles taking a step back.

"It's okay." I respond holding my chest, catching my breath. "Here, let's hook you up to your tube for tonight." Jimin says picking up my tube as I nod and remove my mask as he gently loops the tube around my ears. His hands were soft.

Much more gentle than Emily ever was with me. Heck, she didn't even help me with the tubes half the time.

"Thank you." I respond and he smiles, sitting in the chair on the opposite side of the room. "You're welcome. Now answer my question." He says placing his hands together.

I roll my eyes and open  my phone screen again, admiring the sleeping picture of Jungkook. "It's complicated..." I say voice trailing off.

"Why? Does he not like you back or something? Not kiss you enough?" Jimin jokes as you sigh. "No.. he can't even kiss me." I respond in a near whisper.

His eyebrows burrow together and he places his chin in his palm, leaning towards me with curiosity written across his face. "Why?"

"He has the same thing I do.. CF. And the thing with CF patients. We can't--"

"Get within 6 feet of eachother." Jimin completes my sentence with a nod.

I nod in response. "So. We can't kiss. Hell, we can't even touch, and it's hard." I say, more tears starting to well into my eyes.

"Yeah... I can't say I understand completely Y/N. But I can tell you that everything always works out in the end." Jimin says with a reassuring smile, walking over to the side of my bed.

"Thank you Jimin. I can tell we are going to get along well." I say putting my hand on top of his, squeezing it.

"You're welcome. Now get some sleep. Tomorrow I can take you to see him if you want." He offers. "Will you please?!" I exclaim happily and he nods chuckling at my little kid reaction.

"But now, you need to sleep."

"It's only 6:30..." I say crossing my arms and Jimin rolls his eyes. "Sleep is key to health." He says, pointing to my covers "Don't make me tuck you in." He raises and eyebrow making you laugh.

"Okay Okay, as long as we can see Jungkook first thing tomorrow." I respond tucking myself in and Jimin nods.

"Goodnight Jimin." I say as he gets his things to leave.

"Goodnight Y/N."
