15. Leave

❝ leave ❞

This morning Jihyun came back from her hometown after spending a day with her family. Right now she was on the way to his home. As much as she didn't want to go there, but she had to. And for the last time.

The next thing, she was already in front of his room. She knocked on the door and opened it, praying not to see the similar kind of sight from that day. And there he was sitting on the bed and looking at her.

There she walked in after having his permission. Jungkook offered her to have a seat but she rejected. "As I told you before, now you can give up crutches. I have prescribed some medicines in case of pain and also instructions to your manager who visited me earlier, " she said, trying to contain myself since he was staring right into my eyes.

"I just came here since your manager told me to meet you personally for the sake of your satisfaction. You can contact the hospital in case you feel uneasy. They will send a nurse if necessary. I shall take leave-" And Jungkook immediately cut her off. "Do you not have feelings for me anymore?" he asked, having her annoyed.

Then he stood up on his legs without the help of crutches and walked towards her. "I'm happy to see you start walking already, " she commented.

It was obvious that he was having a hard time to walk. But the moment he reached to her, he ended up leaning on her. They were lucky since Jihyun leaned on the table behind her right away or else both of them would have ended up on the floor.

"That's not the answer to my question, " Jungkook whispered in her ear, leaning against the wall to leave less weight on Jihyun. "Minsu told me about that guy who played with her, " those words made his expression fall within a second.

"You were handling two of us at the same time, or was it only two? But that's pretty impressive, " she said with a bitter smile.

No wonder why his hand turned into a fist, but he took a deep breath and calmed himself. "That is still not the answer to my question, " he said again. Jihyun laughed at his words. "Why do you think I still have any kind of feelings after whatever happened between us?" she asked but he just kept staring at her without a blink.

"I Don't Have Any Feelings For You, " and she said it so that this stupid conversation could end right now. Jungkook laughed at her words this time. "I will consider that as a lie because I can feel it, " he said.

Is this even worth it? She asked herself and decided to stop this right here and leave, but his few words stopped her again. "What if I say I have feelings for you?" he asked. And she turned around and forced a smirk. "I will consider that as a lie, " with that, she walked out of the room.

"JIHYUN!" Jungkook couldn't even run after her, so ended up punching the wall instead.

A tiny tear ran down her cheek as Jihyun ran out of the house. She got into her car where she could still hear a faint voice calling her name. Then she looked at the balcony where he was standing. "Yes, I lied and I hope you did too, " and she drove it to the hospital.

There she went straight to the chief's office and the man grabbed an envelope from the drawer. "Here you go," he handed her the tickets. "Have a safe flight, " he said. She bowed at him. "Thank you, " and walked out of the place.

Then she drove to her place where she already had her things packed. She grabbed the luggage and took a cab to the airport.

It was a few months back when Jungkook was admitted to the hospital. Jihyun was still not ready to give her full time to this one patient even after her senior tried to convince her when she was called by the chief to have a talk.

This man offered her to sponsor the special training she wanted to get abroad for a long time. It was her dream and she had been saving for a long time but the funds were still not sufficient. And this offer made her have second thoughts about giving her whole time to this patient.

Yes, she accepted the offer that time and here she was leaving Korea for the training which would last for six months. That time she never thought that she would develop feelings for this guy but now she is leaving with the belief that six months was more than enough to forget about those feelings since they were not that deep.

There she sat on the bench and got herself busy on her phone since she came too early than the flight time. The texts were still popping on her phone, so she blocked his number which she would have done a long ago. But sooner than later.

A tall guy sat beside her who started humming a song like right next to her ear. There are so many benches around us where he could sit but he had to sit beside me. She put her earbuds to avoid that irritating noise.

Not so soon it was time for the board. This guy was on the same flight as her and unlucky of her to have him beside her on the plane as well. There he tried to talk to her but she ignored him and pretended to sleep.

"Beware of players."
