I'm Breaking

Chapter 36

Author PoV

Chaeyoung and Seungri walked together to the military quarters. Like what Jiyong promised, she can get a call from the quarters. 

After saving the life of the African secretary, Ms. Quilo, Chaeyoung laughed at how Seungri felt shy. In fact, Seungri and Ms. Quilo were in love and everything is just awkward between them. 

When they reached the door to the military quarters, Seungri opened the door for Chaeyoung. Both of them recalled memories, as Chaeyoung was the one who taught Math for Seungri during her last year in high school.

Normally, people graduate high school in the age of 16 or 17. But in Chaeyoung's case, she graduated when she was 14 or 15 years old while Seungri graduated when he was 21. 

During their last class reunion, Chaeyoung had brought Junhoe to the reunion. Every classmate of Chaeyoung said he looked awfully rude and it was like he wasn't taught manners. So, since then, that was the sign of Chaeyoung to break up with him.

But no, because she has a great heart and is very kind. She cannot stand anyone getting hurt. 

Now that her duties in the medical hut were finally dismissed because the Seon medical staff has arrived an hour ago, all she does is aid minor injuries and tend to patients who needs her. 

2 days and 1 night since the earthquake began, she's in the medical hut in the day time and in the Korean Hospital at the night. The military did not just help the UN members, the people from the ghost town were sent to the medical hut if there weren't any hospitals available. 

There were no such thing as 'biased' missions in the military. Whatever nationality you are, you must be saved. 

"Here," Seungri handed the telephone to Chaeyoung. "It's satellite connected. Don't mind the mess, we haven't cleaned up since the earthquake."

Chaeyoung shook her head, "No worries."

"Have a seat," he offered her a chair. "The country code is +82 then add the phone number. I'll head back and join rescue operations."

"Thank your Major for me, please."

He nodded and left Chaeyoung alone. 

She looked at the phone.

Should I call him? Nah, he's probably not worried. Is what she thought.

While on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, we have Jungkook.

Scratching his head, rubbing his eyes, waiting for Namjoon's updates. He can't take it anymore. There's no news about her, he'll go outside and jog. He'll call Cole but he isn't picking up. Rachel is busy managing his schedule. 

He was very worried of her. 

Back to Chaeyoung, she was having a dilemma within herself. Should I call? Maybe no. But he has to know how I am. 

Without knowing, her thumb started to type Jungkook's phone number. She was still too busy fighting with herself. Whether to call Jungkook or not. 

"Yeobuseo?" She heard his voice.

All she could is freeze up and stare at the phone.

It's him. His voice. 

"Yeobuseo? Who's this?" He asked once more.

"J-Jungkook-ah..." she finally said. 

"Chaeyoung? Is that you?! Are you alright? Are you hurt? Have you eaten? When are you coming home?"
