Euphoric Beginnings (BTS)

Chapter 5: A Walk of Faith

A few days had passed since the hiking incident. I couldn't go to work because my ankle was still in a lot of pain. I didn't feel like explaining the entire incident to my boss, so i told them that I injured myself while running. I did as Jungkook told me and made sure to rest and ice. It helped a lot. It sounded like he'd experienced this type of injury before, which actually saved me a trip to the doctor. I'm not saying I'm glad that he got hurt - I'm just glad I have this knowledge.

Liv, Jas, and the boys all came by everyday to check on me. I swear I never even had a minute to myself. It was sweet, but sometimes, it got a little annoying. I mean it was just a sprained ankle - I'm not completely handicapped. The only me-time I got was when I went to the bathroom. Even so, I'm incredibly grateful for them. I'd only known the boys a few days, but I could tell that we would stay together for a long time. I need to find their parents and tell them that they raised such wonderful, caring gentlemen.

Actually, if I think about it, I'm not even sure where they're from. I just never asked. I need to remember to be a better friend; I tend to talk more about myself rather than listen to what others have to say. It's actually a pretty bad habit of mine. I'm honestly surprised Liv and Jas have stuck by me for so long.

Ding! I was sitting in my room by myself when I heard my phone ring.

It was Jungkook!

Jungkook: Hey, I just wanted to check up on you. How is your ankle?

Me: It's better. Your advice really helped. I never thought using ice and heat could have such a great effect.

Jungkook: Yeah, it works wonders. That's good that you're getting better.

Me: Yeah, thanks to you haha

Jungkook: I actually wanted to talk to you... I know you can't really walk, but can we meet?

Me: Uh yeah sure.. My parents aren't home and the door is unlocked so you can come over if you want.

Jungkook: Okay, yeah... I'll be there in 20 minutes

I wonder what he needed to say to me. It was making me incredibly anxious. I texted Jas and Liv in my nervous state, trying to figure out what he could mean. They kept teasing me about how he was actually coming over to tell me he's an ax murderer in real life. My best friends are such great help...

The 20 minutes seemed to pass by so slowly. I couldn't pace to relieve my anxiousness so I just sat in my bed, which made it even worse. Suddenly, I heard the doorbell ring. I texted Jungkook to make sure it was him before I yelled for him to come in (just to make sure it actually wasn't an ax murderer).

I heard the door open and close.

"Eury?" Jungkook called.

"Yeah, I'm in my room, up the stairs," I yelled back. I realized he was the only one who hadn't come to see me yet since the hiking trip.

I heard him shuffle around a little then walk up the stairs. He peeked around the open doorway and knocked to make sure it was okay for him to come in.

"Come in," I said to him. I noticed he'd taken his shoes off, even though it was still wood flooring upstairs, so there was no carpet to get dirty.

"I love your socks," I giggled as I looked at them. He was wearing the cutest socks ever - they were red and had little tacos on them.

"I have some house shoes you could use. There is a pair of black Adidas slides in the closet over there." I watched him walk over and slip them on.

There was an awkward silence and everything felt a little tense as he sat down at the foot of my bed. He looked at my ankle that was resting on a pillow then looked up at me ask if to ask for permission. I nodded.

I watched him carefully unwrap the athletic tape I had wrapped around it for stabilization. His soft hands slowly turned my foot side to side to test its mobility. It didn't hurt as much now. I think I could try walking on it and I would be fine.

"Do you want to try walking?" Jungkook said after examining my ankle. "It looks to be moving around fine and you don't look to be in a lot of pain."

I looked at him nervously. I knew I could do it, but I was still scared, to be honest. It was bad enough that I could barely go outside to get any fresh air and sunshine. Even though Hoseok was here almost everyday to be my sunshine, I thought.

I shuffled to the edge of my bed, my feet hanging over the edge. I grabbed the edge of my desk that was sitting next to my bed so I could use it for support. I stood up cautiously. Since it was my right ankle that was injured, I was using only my left leg. I took a step and slowly shifted my weight onto my injured ankle. This didn't seem so bad, actually.

I started to take another step, but the pain was just too much. My weight shifted uncomfortably underneath me and started to stumble. I felt myself fall and threw out my hands to try to catch myself. I felt a pair of strong arms grab me from behind before I hit the ground.

"Are you okay?" Jungkook asked with a worried look on his face. He helped me back up to my bed and sat down next to me.

"Yes, I'm fine. I guess I tried too soon," I sighed. I looked down at my hands and played with my fingers.

"Hey, it's okay. At least we know that you're able to stand up by yourself."

We sat there for a few minutes, not knowing what to say next. He was playing with the corner of my blanket, deep in thought. He seemed nervous.

"So... what did you need to talk to me about?" I questioned.

Jungkook opened his mouth to speak. Just then, the doorbell rang. Wow, perfect timing...

Before I could get up to open the door, Jungkook instructed me to stay put and dashed downstairs. I heard a familiar male voice from the doorway and froze up as all the memories rushed back. Slowly and shakily, I got up again and limped my way to the doorway.

"Is Eury here?" The man at the door asked.

"No, she's not. Who are you?" Jungkook asked.

The man at the doorway happened to look behind Jungkook at that exact moment as we made eye contact.

Drake.
