BTS Oneshots Part 2

Normal (kookiemonster)

Jungkook is me even though school just started

Namjoon warily puts down his bag and pulls out a stool. Jungkook takes out his pencil and begins drawing random things on the surface of the lab table. Namjoon looks at him, a little concerned, before proceeding with the experiment. As he begins measuring out chemicals, Jungkook starts humming and talking to himself, closing his eyes but still drawing. "Are you okay?" Namjoon knows Jungkook as the quiet guy in the back of the class, not a maniac who talks to themself. "Why are you acting so weird?" Jungkook opens his eyes slowly, as if the action drains him.

"I'm sleep deprived and I have a crush on you. I don't know how to act normal right now." Namjoon finishes the lab with no help from the younger. 

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I'm a Big Hit trainee. I'm pretty sure sleep doesn't exist anymore."

"I'm a trainee for them too. I'm sleeping just fine. You can't possibly be that busy all the time." Jungkook lays face down on the table.

"You have no idea." Having finished early, Namjoon lets the other rest until the bell rings. When Jungkook doesn't wake, he explains the situation to the teacher. She sympathetically writes them both a pass and helps Namjoon walk the tired boy to the office. 

"He came down with the flu during class. Both of their mothers have been contacted and requested I bring them to the hospital." The trio is immediately excused from the school. The teacher lets Namjoon take the boy and heads home herself. 

Namjoon carries the now sleeping boy into his home and takes him up to his bedroom. My parents should be home any minute. He quickly lays Jungkook on the bed and shuts the door. He paces impatiently as he waits for the small boy to wake up. "Come on..." Jungkook rolls onto his side and groans.

"My head..." 

"Finally." Namjoon presses the back of his hand to Jungkook's forehead. "You're burning up!"

"What time is it?" Namjoon briefly looks at his phone screen.

"Almost 3 o'clock." Jungkook jolts upright. 

"I have to-"

"No, you don't." Namjoon gently pushes him back onto the bed. "You're sick. You're not going anywhere."

"But my parents-"

"I'll have my mom call them."

"No, you don't-"

"Understand? Yes, I do. Now rest. I got this." Namjoon watches him cautiously as he backs out of the room. He shuts the door after him and heads to the kitchen to get a glass of water. He calls all of Jungkook's job's and tells them he's gotten really sick. Just like he predicted, they all offer him a paid leave. Namjoon graciously accepts. He goes back into his bedroom and offers Jungkook instant ramen as he hadn't eaten yet today. The younger accepts and slowly follows him into the kitchen. As they wait for the water to boil, Jungkook sits in one of the chairs. Namjoon watches him curiously as Jungkook leans back over the seat and looks at him upside down. "About what you said today, is it true?"

"Huh?"

"That you had a crush on me." He plops the noodles into the water.

"Oh, yeah."

~The next day~

"So you're telling me, I fell asleep in class and you took me to your house. I was so sleep deprived I couldn't even function and now we're dating." Namjoon pecked his lips.

"Yup."

"Damn, I should sleep more."

"I agree."
