Chapter 25: Thin Ice

With both your bomber and Jungkook's hoodie soaked, the two of you took your time with walking into the hospital. The rain had slightly subdewed and the heavy fall was now light and soft when landing onto the fabric of your bomber. 

Jungkook had been silent ever since you asked him why the doctor has been searching for you, his mind having a small inner battle with itself, contemplating whether or not he should tell you all things that had been clouding his mind for the majority of the year. 

The truth was, although he tried to make it seem like Minjin's words had not affected him it did. He tried so hard to suppress them and try to move on with life, to give up and to stop hoping for the past. 

There was just so much information he had been bombarded with he hadn't had a chance to puzzle them all together. All the stories and information Minjin had told him over the past year was all muddled up into one giant tangled woollen ball. Now that he had perked your interest he had to try and untangle said ball which somehow all unravelled into one big idea, one long piece of string. 

Or maybe it was the fact he knew that it was wrong. 

V.I.R.T.U.E had been disbanded for over a year now and it wouldn't be fair to assume you could just drop everything in your life now to help. You could have begun your studies, be a working woman the list goes on. A lot can happen in one year and it was selfish of him to assume everyone else was in the same situation as him. 

Not everyone was stuck living in the past Jungkook. 

Shaking his head hastily, Jungkook rids the droplets of water falling down his hazelnut bangs. His sudden action causing you to frown slightly. 

"Jeon~" You were about to open your mouth to voice your concerns but you were abruptly cut off by a loud ring tone. 

The unexpected sound of the phone swiftly brought Jungkook out of his daze as he sluggishly reaching inside his jean pocket in search of his phone. Once his cold slender fingers wrapped about the buzzing object he pulled it out, a scowl immediately appearing on his lips once he read the callers ID.

"Speaking of the devil." He muttered to himself as he stared at the screen, weighing his options. He could always put his delightful cousin on voice mail but speaking from past experiences, that would only earn him to a long lecture once he got back. He could pick it up and have her lecture him right through the phone but then again...she could help him explain the situation to you but did he want that? 

He must have been staring at the screen for too long as once Jungkook had made a decision, his phone screen went blank. "Shit." Knowing this would only agitate the women further, Jungkook quickly unlocked his phone and called back. The line only rung once before Jungkook heard his name being screeched out from the other side of the line. 

"Jeon Jungkook, why did you not pick up the phone? Why are you out this late? You are in so much trouble mister." Jungkook winced at the sheer volume his cousin was screaming at.
