The Memories Five - I'll Follow... But Take The Bunny Off Of Me

I walked into the house uninvited. I know I'll find her in her usual spot in the living room flooded with sunlight. She sat on her armchair near the window, her nose buried in her favorite book. Leaning on the doorframe, I stared at her for almost a minute, lost in her charm and innocence. My heart skipped a beat, knowing she's my girl. I sauntered to where she sat, but when she suddenly met my gaze, the whole room was engulfed in darkness at once.

"Yoongi?" She called, her voice shaky in the absence of light.

I couldn't make out her silhouette, my eyes not adjusting fast enough

"Yoongi, where are you..."

"I'm here, baby. Wait, I'll get you out of here."

"No, wake up. I need you to wake up now."

"You're leaving me again, no. Don't go, please Emily..."

~~~~^~~~~

"Shhhh... Hush now..."

I opened my eyes to the sound of my own hair being brushed by slender fingers and soft breathing near my ear. It was soothing, and my aching heart became tranquil. But after a while, the feeling wasn't familiar, it was strange.

Strong huge arms landed on my frail torso, making it a bit hard to breathe. I feel like some of my ribs cracked from the sudden impact.

"Emily?"

I turned my head to the side, wishing I had not. I was mortified, Jungkook lay comfortably beside me, his bunny grin wide as he put one monstrous leg on top of my waist to immobilize me. I had no energy to push him off since he's so much stronger, so I just endured it, laying completely still.

"What the hell, Jungkook..." I muttered in annoyance.

"Shhhhh. Sleep, Yoongibear... Sleeeeeeeep......" he pet my head like a cat.

"Can you atleast get yourself off of me, I can't breathe!"

"I promised the others I'll watch over you tonight. We're taking shifts in sleeping over, so stop complaining and shut your eyes."

I tried to wiggle free from his tight grip but it just drained me even more.

"Don't you think this completely ridiculous? I'm fine, and I am not going insane..."

"Nope. Not taking any chances."

I groaned in displeasure. These idiots.

"Rest. You need it. By the way, I'll try out for the basketball team tomorrow, so shall we keep quiet and just close our eyes?" he mumbled as he hugged me like a koala bear. "You're seriously thinner than before. Your bones are sticking out, feels like I'm hugging a skeleton."

"Can you let go now? Honestly, you're taking it way too far. I'm not gonna do anything stupid, okay? If that makes you happy."

"Answer my question first," he demanded.

"Go on..."

He released me at last. "Why did you leave the basketball team?"

They found out earlier than expected. I wanted a quiet exit, but I guess sooner or later everybody in school will know.

"It's tiring and not interesting anymore. I've given the school enough prestige already, so I retired early. You'd be a great captain."

"I'm not really confident, but you taught me well, so I'll rely on everything I learned from you," he laid on his back. I felt how nervous he was.

"I'll be there to cheer on you. So can you please get off my bed now? It's getting more and more uncomfortable by the second."

"No."

I can't believe this kid...

Sighing annoyingly, I could only nod my head. "I'll pass a recommendation letter to Coach Stratuz to make your application easier."

"But- beginners are not eligible for captainship..." He looked at me with much confusion.

"On rare occasions, young one, when the player possesses fine qualities, no matter what age or year, is eligible for the position."

He laughed, "Oh, yeah... YOU were the youngest team captain since Coach Stratuz... Fine. Goodnight." He moved to the carpeted floor, immediately falling asleep.

I can't let them know everything, especially the dreams I was having lately, and the apparitions. They'll worry too much. I was suffering eversince the end of summer, eveything was going downhill. I tried so hard keeping myself together, but as the days go by, I could feel that I was falling apart, deteriorating...

I wanted so bad to end this suffering.

But I can't let go yet.

I have a promise to fulfill.

Just wait a little more, my love, my Emily. I'll be with you soon...
