i slowly fluttered my eyes open, letting it adjust to the slightly bright light and white ceiling. i groaned as i felt another ache in my head.

where the hell am i?

i tried to roll around to check my surroundings. every wall is white.
i must be at the clinic, then.

clinic.

everything that transpired suddenly came crashing back to me and i remembered why the hell i'm here.
my body.

i quickly sat back and looked down on my uniform as i kept touching my body and hair.
i saw a blouse and skirt. my eyes widened as i raised a brow.

did i just return back to my own body?

when i looked up, i saw jungkook sleeping on the other bed just across mine. i covered my mouth with my hand to prevent myself from screaming.

I GOT MY BODY BACK!
HELL YEAH!

i started hugging myself like crazy, missing my breasts and body.
i stopped hugging myself after a while and just stared at jungkook who is still sleeping peacefully.

“you idiot,” i mumbled, looking at him, “you ridiculously ripped guy. i cannot fathom how an idiot like you can have a  ridiculously good-looking body.”

“i can hear you from here, stupid.” i heard jungkook say.

his voice surprised me and i felt my cheeks get warmer after realizing what the hell i just said.
“w-well, that's good to know,” i said, getting out of bed despite my still slightly shaking legs, “just to inform you, we've turned back to normal, jungkook.”

jungkook turned his head towards me, eyeing me with his big yet expressive eyes.
“turned what?” it seems that what i said didn't fully sink in on his pea-sized brain.

“you're back in your body again. so am i.”

jungkook looked at his arms before looking at his uniform.
“no shit—” he said, looking up at me, “—i'm back in my body.” he muttered.

“yeah, yeah, i know, jungkook—” i haven't finished my sentence when he suddenly jumped out of bed towards me and hugged me tightly.

and caught me by suprise.

“wh—”

“we've returned to normal.” there was something with the way he said those words. the way i heard it.
it was more than relief.

something much more than that.

he pushed me slightly away, so we were facing each other now. i saw how his eyes twinkled with something i couldn't put into words.
“jungkook?”

“are they awake now?”

taehyung.

as soon as i heard taehyung's voice, i unconsciously pushed jungkook away rather harder than i thought i did.
  “OW!!”

“eru?” i heard taehyung's voice and i quickly whirled around.
“jungkook?”

“hey.” i mumbled, my heart thumping hard inside my chest.

“oh, thank god you're both awake,” taehyung said, clutching his chest, “you scared me when i heard both of you collapsed by the side of the hallway.”

my cheeks warmed when i heard how worried taehyung is for me.
“y-yeah. but we're okay now, tae.”

“that's good to hear. but what really happened, anyway? a senior told me both of you collapsed at the same time.”

i looked at jungkook but the idiot lied down again, not making eye contact with me.
“oh, maybe that's just coincidence. i don't know about jungkook but i don't feel really well since morning so maybe that's why i collapsed.” i lied. i felt guilty but i couldn't do anything. taehyung at all cost musn't know anything about the failed potion which backfired at me.

“have you eaten anything, eru?” taehyung asked. i shook my head.

taehyung frowned and tapped my forehead.
“you idiot,” he muttered, “let's come down to the cafeteria. you need to eat.”

jungkook suddenly whirled around.
“what about me, tae?! aren't you treating me as well?!” he said that made me roll my eyes.

“of course you're coming as well. both of you need to eat.”

as all three of us were walking on the hallway, i felt a pang inside my chest.

i knew the lies i had to say starts now.
i felt sorry for the lies i had to say but i know this is all for taehyung.
