Stutter [J.JK FF : Completed✔]

51. Dinner

It was starting to get dark and we were yet not in Busan.

As it got darker, the pain in my stomach grew. It was slowly starting to get unbearable. We had been on the horse ever since after lunch and I think three hours or more had passed with the constant moving.

We weren't going at normal speed, it was between fast and normal actually but whatever it was it definitely was triggering the wound.

Breathing in and out,trying to calm myself down. Cheering myself up that I can do it and that it's just a matter of little more time. But the idea had stopped working long back.

The pressure on the wound was constant since the past three hours and I couldn't take it anymore.

It was like another sharp objects was digging into my skin at the same exact place.

My other hand was holding Jungkook by his waist. My grip tightened as I whimpered his name out.

"Jungkook..." I grunted.

He immediately stopped the horse and looked back.

"Jae are you okay?" He asked calmly but added a hint of worry when he saw me clutching the part with the wound.

I shook my head slowly.

He cupped one side of my cheek.

"I need you to be strong okay? I'll increase speed for a while. We are really close and would reach the orphanage soon that way. If I reduce the speed, it'll get late and I do not want burglars to a remedy to our problems alright? Hold me tightly. I swear it'll be just a few minutes love" He said and pecked my forehead.

I held him with both hands this time tightly.

He increased the speed, my stomach hurting EVEN MORE if that's possible.

I still held on to him, investing my faith into his words.

It seemed like eternity but I told myself it was just my conscience  trying to mess with me.

Finally he came to a halt.

"Are we there yet?" I whimpered.

"Almost, we are into the kingdom. Don't worry. Don't stress yourself Jae" He whispered and the horse began moving slowly.

It still hurt but much less.

We stopped again. I opened my eyes- they were closed all the while.

The view was familiar. The orphanage right in front of us.

Jungkook got down first. He extended his arms for me to take.

I did and he helped me on my feet. I held on to his shoulder for support because my legs felt jiggle and that they could give up on me anytime.

"Do you want me to pick you up?" He offered.

I politely declined because who the heck wants to meet someone again while being in someone's arms? Plus he has had a bandage on his upper arm ever since that infamous fight. I didn't want him lifting weights like me.

He nodded and held me by my waist to give extra support.

He knocked on the door.

"Who is coming at the dinner time for the kids! I swear if it's another salesman-"  We heard Miss Minjee's voice fuzzing behind the door but she froze when she saw us.

"H- Hyung Jae? Jungkook? You came back!" She gasped in happiness and I was tightly hugged before I even knew it.
