Never Walk Away

Barrier

Jungkook found the television was still on, but his roommate, Eunji was sleeping with her head leaned on someone's shoulder. The guy is none other than Jung Taekwoon. He turned her head around to meet Jungkook's surprise look.

"Oh, hi. You're back," Taekwoon greets, smiling from ear to ear like he wanted to show how happy he is now.

"What happened with her?" without reply the previous greeting, Jungkook quickly came closer. No smile on his face, at all.

"Eunji... She-" Taekwoon was shifting his gaze from man that stand in front of him, to the girl that placing her head comfortably on his shoulder. "-was watching a movie with me, but I didn't thought she would fall asleep and I let her be," he finished his explanation with another smile curved on his pretty face. He seemed didn't care at all with Jungkook's sharp look.

"Move aside, please. I'll take her to our room," Jungkook said, immediately pulled the sleeping girl into his arm. Fortunately, he didn't wake her up. Eunji has a habit to sleep like a log.

"I'll help you to open the door of your room," Taekwoon offered a help and Jungkook has no reason to refuse.

The taller quickly ran toward a room located near the main door, and Jungkook with Eunji in his arms, trailed from behind.

As the door opened, Taekwoon let the younger came inside first. Jungkook was placing Eunji down softly on the bed before he pulled the blanket up to her chest. She rolled to her side and frowned in her sleep as she found nothing beside her when her hands move around. Taekwoon that stood on the edge of her bed, knew what Eunji wants. He immediately grabbed a bolster and settle it in her arms. The frown on her face was suddenly disappear and changed into a thin smile as she snuggled closer to her sleeping pillow.

"She's cute, isn't she?" Taekwoon mumbled with low voice, but Jungkook could clearly hear it. He began to clear his throat to make the taller attention back to him.

"Excuse me, but I guess we should let her sleep," he said while pointing his eyes at the door.

Taekwoon got the signal and he excused himself out, leaving the owner of the room inside the door closed.

Jungkook let out a sigh before decided to walk closer to her. He then decided to take a seat on the edge of the bed. He was staring at Eunji's sleeping face before the edge of his lips slowly forming a smile.

"You look so innocent when you're sleeping," he muttered.

Suddenly, he reached out a hand to caress the girl hair; he did it carefully since he didn't want to wake her up. Jungkook moved his hand to caressing Eunji's chubby cheek with the back of his hand. He smiled genuinely.

"I really hope someday you'll realize it..."

Jungkook whispered while continuing to feel the warmness of her cheek.

"... And I really hope this isn't one sided," Jungkook told her - still whispering, though he knew she won't answer. Before he rose from the bed, Jungkook slowly leaned his face closer to the sleeping girl and he planted a soft kiss on Eunji's forehead. He was stroking her cheek for the last time, before walked out of the room.

It was 5 in the afternoon, yet Jungkook was still jogged at the beach shore in front of Yoongi's villa. It was the second time in a day he goes in for sport. He needs to keep his body-build well and of course, for his health.

Drenched with sweat, he kept running with phone in his hand. Eunji just sent him a message, telling him that she think Taekwoon was attractive and nice.

Jungkook ran and ran until he felt his legs almost gave up on him. Gasping for breath, he finally decided to stop, slumped on the sand and unlocked his phone screen.
He replied to her. 'Guess it's too fast to decide.'
