BTS FF~ First Child of Creation (HIATUS)

Chapter Nine - Recovery

You wake up the next morning to sunlight streaming through the window. You open your eyes and see a nurse standing next to your bed.

"Ahh, you're awake, Miss Y/L/N. How are you feeling?" she asks you with a sweet smile.

"My neck is sore from how I slept, but other than that, I feel fine," you reply, grinning back at her.

"Wonderful, Miss Y/L/N!" the nurse says. "I'm Nurse Jihyo. We did a few tests yesterday and overnight, and you can leave the hospital this afternoon. We haven't gotten results yet, but we're pretty sure that you passed out due to stress. It could be something else, though, so we are keeping you here just to be safe."

You nod back at Jihyo. "Thank you."

The nurse's eyes crinkle in a smile and she walks out of the room.

You sigh, wanting to fall back to sleep. You close your eyes, knowing you probably shouldn't, but before you know it, you find yourself back in the Land of Nod.

(Time skip)

Yoongi walks into your hospital room to see you fast asleep. He smiles at you, examining the small details of your face. Your subtle freckles. Your small nose. Your beautiful lips. Your chubby cheeks. Everything about you is perfect to him.

He sits back on the bed and runs his hands through your hair. He lays his head on the pillow next to you and almost falls asleep before you wake up.

You wrap your arms and legs around him, squishing him. "Yoongi..." you giggle. "Good morning!"

"Hi, Y/N!" Yoongi replies, jolting back to reality. "How'd you sleep?"

"Pretty well," you tell him. "Nurse Jihyo came in earlier and said I could probably go this afternoon. They still have to get the tests back, though."

Yoongi nods, then quickly changes the subject. "Who all texted you last night?"

"Well, you remember my cousin, Jeongin?" you ask, not waiting for a reply. "He lives with me now, but he's in Greece visiting his parents. He texted me to make sure I was okay."

Yoongi hums in response.

"Jennie called me several times," you remark. "She was too busy training for her debut next month that she couldn't visit. One of my new friends, Chris, is in Australia, and he thought I went bungee jumping without him."

You laugh, thinking back at how he overreacted.

Yoongi chuckles and shakes his head. "The Y/N I remember never had this many friends. What happened?"

You shrug. "After I thought you died, I kind of locked myself up. My dad forced me to go to school. I ate lunch on the stairs, hoping I'd be alone. But I wasn't the only one who had that idea."

FLASHBACK

You pull your hood up as you make your way to the stairs, praying no one notices you. You sit on the stairs, but as soon as you take out your lunch, another male figure comes up. You quickly stand, apologizing.

"I'm sorry," you say. "I-I'll leave now. Sorry, sunbae."

The boy grabs your arm. "It's okay," he says. "I won't bother you. This is just where I eat lunch too."

The boy flashes you a tiny smile before sitting down a few stairs below you. He takes out his own lunch and begins to eat. You sit as well, still slightly nervous.

The two of you sit there in silence. The weird thing is, it isn't an uncomfortable silence.

You both come back to the stairs each day for lunch. You usually only exchange greetings, but you eventually find out that the boy's name is Chris. You slowly become friends and help each other break out of your shells. The two of you sit at the stairs for most of the tenth grade year, but in February, you work up the courage to sit in the lunch room. A few other people come over to sit with you, asking first, of course.

Those people are Jennie and Woojin. They are twins and your next-door neighbors, so you already kind of know them. The four of you become good friends.

For the first time in a while, you feel happy. You are grateful to these three people for helping you move forward.

END FLASHBACK

"So, basically, you all met on accident?" Yoongi says. "And is this Jennie the same Jennie I had a crush on in middle school?"

"Yes to both of those," you tell him. "Now, I'm still tired, even though I just slept forever."

"Then go back to sleep, Jellybean," Yoongi replied, using your childhood nickname.

You playfully hit his arm before closing your eyes. "Fine, Grumpy Cat."

A/N

Hey, guys. I'm sorry for the short chapter, but it was all I could come up with. I'll try to have a better uploading schedule. I'll try to upload at least twice a week, but I just started school and CCP (basically college for high school students), so I'm really busy. Sorry for the long A/N, as well. Now I'll stop apologizing and work on the next chapter. Thanks guys!

Belle~~❤️🌹
