After many attempts to calm myself down, I finally managed to swallow down the lump in my throat. All the information shocked me completely and thoroughly.
I felt like a sharp knife being stabbed straight into the flesh of my back, digging deep into my skin. I could've told myself I expected it, especially with how Namjoon has been acting towards me and everyone else. Luckily it was all over, for now, I finally had some time without worries.
Of course, there was still Jungkook trapped inside this madhouse, that, as he says, won't let him out.
"Explain to me one more time how Taehyung is involved in all of this?" I asked, moving a few inches closer to Jungkook on the rock hard hospital bed. His eyes still stuck to me.
He took a deep breath before speaking up, "He's just a liar like I told him to be. Since I wanted to cover up what we did by hanging out with Claire, it only seemed right that someone started clinging to you too. Sadly that plan didn't go very far."
His eyes showed hesitation with anger hidden deep within them, it was obvious for me since I had known and looked into those eyes for almost eighteen years now.
I stayed silent for a moment, which seemed to make Jungkook even more tense and nervous. I wasn't normally someone to stay silent in a conversation, but this time, it was as if my lips had been sewed together, making me unable to speak a word.
Dare I call it, a statement of shock. It didn't take long for me to get used to Jungkook telling me yet another thing I didn't know about the situation. Taehyung wasn't my secret admirer, he was just yet another part of Jungkook's little game of keeping the truth safe for me.
It felt like a huge hole being punched directly through my chest, first I find out Jungkook wasn't my family, which meant I hadn't actually done anything wrong. Second, I discover all Namjoon's long-held secrets of trying to get his revenge by using my friends against me.
If it wasn't bad enough, I had caused Jungkook a stay at a psychiatric hospital. According to him, it would be an impossible task to ever get out from there again.
Even though I didn't wanna admit it, my time apart from Jungkook had bettered a lot. It was my time away from Namjoon's little games and threats, time away from notes and stupids girls like Claire. After all, Claire was just yet another part of Jungkook's lies.
"We're gonna get you out of here," I say to him, changing the subject which informed him that he was forgiven. "No matter what."
I raised from the hard hospital bed, looking down at Jungkook who's eyes widened. He sat still for a few seconds before copying my movements and getting up on his feet.
"Vivian, don't do something stupid please, this place isn't a safe plan." Jungkook pleaded while staring into my eyes. His hands slowly reached out in front of himself to find mine, holding them softly.
I scoff at him, he couldn't possibly be that foolish. He had known me since birth, that man should know by now I always do something stupid to get what I want. And at this moment, I wanted him back home.
"Don't you scoff like that at me," he grabs my hands tightly, pulling my body towards him, "I know that look on your face."
"I want you home again, and you can bet I'm gonna get you out of here somehow." I raise my chin to get a better look at him, a smirk spreading across my face.
"Always so stubborn, princess." Jungkook now had a wide smirk on his own lips as well.
"Says the boy who covers up his crime by dating a stubborn girl."
My comments started to trigger him and he absolutely loved it, his smirk growing wider and wider the closer we each learned to each other.
"Claire was indeed a stubborn girl, but she can never beat you, love." Jungkook's lips neared mine more and more after yet another second passed by. It was undeniable that my cheeks had heated up and turned bright red after he called me that nickname.
Tension started building up between us, but not the bad kind of tension this time. I craved holding him tight again like we used to do every day, those moments I couldn't do without.
"Just fucking kiss me for god's sake."
