22: Wake Up

"You're finally getting discharged from the hospital Jiyeon, that means you can go with me to do something", Jimin said and I looked at him confused and said, "Look man, I'm tired, the hospital food is terrible and I want my bed."

"Don't you wanna go interrogate Mr. Kim Namjoon about this stupid chocolate?", he asked me and I shook my head and said, "Jimin it's 5:00 am in the morning and besides I have to go back to school okay, that's torture enough."

Jimin helped me up from my bed and he said, "You know this is kinda weird because we know that we like each other and we're still not doing anything about it."

"Didn't I tell you to wait for prom, patience is key Jimin", I teased and he just rolled his eyes and said, "All I wanted was a kiss and you won't give me one."

"Just not now", I said.

"Anyways, I've got an idea but I'll tell you once we get home, the cab is waiting", he said and I nodded.

I grabbed onto him for support because it's been a while since I walked. We slowly walked out of the hospital and I gave a sigh relief when I saw the cab waiting.

"We didn't forget anything right?", Jimin asked and I shook my head and said, "Nah, we're good."

We got in the cab and the driver started the car and drove off. I placed my head on Jimin's shoulder and I sighed again and he asked, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just really missed this a lot, I can't believe we avoided each other for so long and its honestly so weird to think that you actually like me", I said and he laughed and he said, "Why wouldn't I like you? You're perfect."

"Naeun's perfect, I'm some problematic girl that you're friends with", I said and he sighed and said, "Goddamnit Jiyeon, I can't hold myself back anymore."

And before I knew it, he kissed my lips and I was at first resisting but he never backed off so I kissed him back and sighed into the kiss.

I pulled away and Jimin smiled his signature smile and he cupped my face and said, "Crazy girl, can't you see I'm in love with you."

I smiled and our moment was interrupted when the cab driver said, "Hey two lovebirds, simmer down a little, the two of you just remind me of how single I am."

We giggled and we intertwined our hands and I put my head on his shoulder.

Soon enough, we arrived at my home to where my parents already left for work.

Jimin helped get my stuff in and we made our way to my bedroom.

I took a deep breath as I opened the door to my room.

Jimin put a hand on my shoulder and he said, "Bad memories, huh?"

I nodded and he just squeezed my shoulder and said, "It's okay, I'm here."

"I have to go to school, don't I?", I said as I looked at Jimin and he said, "Don't worry, I'll protect you from Krystal."

I held Jimin's small hands tight and he said, "I'm not gonna let her hurt you this time."

I smiled and nodded and he let go of my hand and said, "I think I should wait outside, you need to get ready."

"Yeah", I said and he left my room and closed the door behind him. I opened my closet and I smiled as I caught a glimpse of Jimin's shirt at the corner. I immediately grabbed it and a pair of skinny jeans then put them on.

I got my favorite pair of gudetama socks and the same old pair of white sneakers I have.

I packed my bag and went outside my room and saw Jimin patiently waiting and when he saw I was done, he offered his hand and I took it.

We held hands going downstairs and I grabbed the keys along the way. Once we were out of the house, I locked the door and we walked to school.

Just like the old times, intentionally dragging our feet on the pavement og the sidewalk. You could say it was nostalgic even if it wasn't that long ago.

We were halfway to school when he stopped and he let go of my hand. I was confused so I said, "What's wrong?"

He arched his back and said, "Want a piggyback ride?"

I smiled and I got on his back and he piggybacked me to school. I buried mt face in his neck and he twitched then said, "Stop that, it's ticklish."

I laughed and kissed his cheek and I felt him warm up. We arrived at school anf he put me down only for us to be met with Krystal and her cronies.

She gave an evil smirk and said, "The audacity for you to even come back, you should've stayed in your hospital bed cause going back here means you're gonna get back in one."

Jimin stepped in front of me and said, "I'm not gonna let you."

I sighed and put a hand on Jimin's shoulder and said, "I think its time that I really stood up to her as the real me without the chocolate and everything, just me, Im Jiyeon."

He nodded and I walked up to Krystal and she said, "What are you gonna do? Cry in front of me then run away again."

"Nope, I want to try something different," I said as I slapped her right across her face and she glared at me and she tried to slap me back but I quickly held her hand.

"I AM DONE! Being held down by a person like you", I said, "Someone who's only powerful because of a group of cronies who think she's superior well guess what, deep inside you is an insecure girl who picks on other people to make herself feel better!"

Krystal looked ashamed as she watched her "friends" dissipate. I let go of her hand and said, "Who do you have now?"

She looked at me mortified and she ran away.

Jimin walked up to me and hugged me then he said, "I'm so proud of you Jiyeon, but you need to wake up."

I looked at him confused and everything went black and all I cpuld hear were faint echoes of wake up.

Finally, it wasn't black and suddenly I was in my room with Jimin shaking me to wake me up.

"Gosh Jiyeon, its like you hibernate when you sleep", he said.

"Wait what?", I said, "What about the magic chocolate that makes us attractive? The man who gave it to us? Me being in the hospital?"

"Jiyeon, I think you should stop watching too much romantic fantasy movies", he said.

"Wait so none of those things happened", I said and he nodded and said, "Yeah, now go get a shower, you stink"

He left my room and I sighed deeply.

"So that means I haven't told him yet how I really feel", I said.
