Falling Comets (Jungkook Fan fiction)

Chapter 20

"You," said a woman hovering above Hyunsoo, "Need to go to the hospital and find out what's happening with your head."

This was the first thing the woman said as soon as Hyunsoo opened her eyes and found herself looking at the ceiling of the wellbeing office at her university.

Hyunsoo tried to sit up and speak to the woman at the same eye level, rather than have her talk to Hyunsoo as if she was an immobile hospital patient. However, the minute she put her hands to her side to help herself up, pain shot through her head as if a dagger had just gone through. She couldn't help but gasp loudly from the pain and quickly laid still.

The woman looked concerned but didn't move. "You need to stop trying to move and just rest here. I'll allow you to stay for a few hours so take a nap, but once it's 5pm I'll need to get someone to help you home..."

How long had she been laying here for? It must have been over two hours, maybe three.

"No," Hyunsoo cut in, "I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an inconvenience. I'll just text a friend quickly and go home now."

"Shall I call your friend for you?" asked the woman, smiling now. She probably felt bad for her now that she was leaving sooner.

"Yes," answered Hyunsoo without thinking.

It hadn't hit her then but how did the woman know who Hyunsoo's friends were? Was it the same person who caught her? Maybe it was just a classmate and she assumed they were friends.

It didn't take long for her 'friend' to turn up. In fact, Hyunsoo wished he hadn't turned up at all. Still, at the same time, she was grateful and figured he at least could still help her... if he's in the mood.

"Hyunsoo," Jungkook said nodding at her.

"Jungkook," said Hyunsoo, trying to hide her gratefulness and display more of her irritation.

Jungkook chuckled. The woman looked from one to the other.

"Well, I'll leave you two be," she said, then loudly whispering to Jungkook, "Make sure you get your girlfriend back safe."

Hyunsoo nearly chocked. What? Out of shock, she looked at Jungkook in disbelief. Did he say something to the woman earlier to make her think this?

"I will," replied Jungkook. "Thank you."

No time was wasted from when the door closed to when Hyunsoo opened her mouth to say something about the 'girlfriend' business, but Jungkook beat her to it.

"It's so obvious what you have in mind right now. Normally, I would take this chance to make fun of you, but right now I don't care. Now get up, I'm tired and hungry so let's just get this over with."

Hyunsoo imagined strangling Jungkook but said nothing. She was more worried about the pain coming back. "Fine."

In contrast to the way he was acting, Jungkook moved closer and helped Hyunsoo up by putting an arm around her.

"Don't get too excited," he said, making Hyunsoo scowl at him again. He laughed, "This is your everyday typical face I guess."

"I've reserved it to use only in your presence," retorted Hyunsoo.

Jungkook scoffed but continued helping her.

The pain was coming back again, making Hyunsoo yelp and crouch down.

"Jesus, what's up with you?" he asked her, a hint of concern in his tone.

"I... don't... know..." Hyunsoo gasped.

Without a word, Jungkook bent down and put Hyunsoo's arms around his neck from the back, before lifting her up and holding on to her legs. "I'm taking you to the hospital instead. You look really unwell."
