6 | Cold Room

Jungkook POV.

I turn around in panic.

It's dark.

It's cold.

Freezing cold.

I look down at my hands and they are lime-white from the temperature. I try to fold my fingers but I'm not able to, as a wave of pain spreads from the ends to the whole of the hand.

The breath coming out of my mouth transforms into little clouds of smoke, each of which play a different scenario of my life.

I turn around with a fast heartbeat, only to notice that I am at the edge of an endlessly depthful cliff.

- HOLY!

I gasp in fright and take a step back back, almost rolling down the cliff from the unstability of my freezing feet that deny to move as freely as I want them to.

Then I hear someone calling me from far, a voice that reaches my ears as if I am in a dream and they are trying to get me to realize that this is not real.

I want to run to that direction, I try to, but I can't! I'm stuck, my feet are stuck on ice and I'm slowly becoming numb. I cry for help.

I shout and shout but the voice is as far as it was since the beginning and I'm slowly losing my senses and my vocal chords too...

I cough like my life depends on it. It becomes hurtful on my chest and more and more intense. I feel like I'm suffocating and then I'm shaking.

All of a sudden I somehow find the strength to inhale a huge amount of air and-

- JUNGKOOK?!

Jimin hyung?

- Hey, are you okay?

It takes me a while to realize where I am and what is going on.

- Kook-ah, Kookie, are you okay?

Kookie. That is what my younger brother calls me.

I find myself being rolled to my other side and soon Jimin hyung climbs on my bed and sits next to me, staring at me from up.

Still absent-minded, I blink fastly and try to buckle up, realizing that we are in my room on the upper bunk bed where I sleep.

- Jungkook-ah... -Jimin hyung looks at me with worried doe eyes and wipes tears off my cheeks with his thumbs.

I-I had tears? Was I crying?

I quickly touch my fingertips on my face and oh god... I have tears flowing all over my cheeks and a runny nose. Oh my, my nose is still running that is so embarrassing!

I was freezing just a second ago but when Jimin hyung cleans my nose with the tissue in his hand and start warming my hands inside his, I feel that my cheeks are suddenly heating up.

- Jungkook-ah you are so cold. -He says, never taking his shaky eyes off of me while rubbing my hands inside his. -Why didn't you tell me you didn't have a heater in your room? You brat...
