Help Her (Jeon Jungkook FF)

Remebering

I walked off the stage after answering a few more questions. I gave the lady the earpiece.
"Thank you,"  she mumbled while taking it.
 I nodded and walked to the dressing room. Once I returned, I got dressed in comfortable clothes.
"Time to go..." Namjoon mumbled as he walked up to me.
I looked over at him with a petite smile.
"You did great, Caroline. I know it was hard for you to share this song." Namjoon said, rubbing my back.
"It was hard, but it looked like everyone liked it." My smile was a bit brighter, but I could still feel my emotions running high. 
"Sariah had to go home, but we want you to come over."
"I would love to come over. Thank you," I said, picking up my things and walking to the black car. I got in and buckled up, and everyone got in after me.
"You did a good job!" Jimin smiled at me.
"Thank you," I mumbled, looking out the window.
"Is she okay?" I heard Jimin whisper to Namjoon.
"She's just tired," Namjoon responded.
We've arrived at the studio. "Go get something to drink. I have to do something so we can go see Sariah. Sound okay?" I nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

[Jungkook's POV]

"Jungkook! You missed Caroline's amazing song. Why did you leave?" Jimin busted through the door. I snapped to the door. Jimin stood with his arms crossed, looking upset.
I looked back down at my phone.
"Because I had a date with Jess," I simply answered. "
"'Because I had a date with Jess.'" He mocked me, making me sigh and glares at him.
"You always have a date with her. Everyday!" Jimin said, coming closer to me.
"You never have time for your best friend. You're always hanging out with Jess."
"She's my girlfriend. I need to hang out with her." I said as I put my phone away.
"I'm your best friend. Don't you need to hang out with me? What about Caroline?" Jimin said, glaring at me.
"You are my best friend, and what about Caroline?" I asked, giving him my full attention.
Jimin stumbled over his words before saying, "She probably wanted you to hear it,"
"I can listen to it later," I told him.
Jimin sighed while shaking his head. "whatever," He mumbled, leaving the room.
"What's his problem?" I asked myself as I pulled out my phone to talk with Jess again.
I got bored talking to her, so I said I had to go to something. She asked me what it was, and I made up a lie. I got out of the room and walked towards the kitchen.

I got to the door but stopped when I heard someone singing. "No one ever made me feel as small as you did; no one made me feel as cursed..." I stopped in my tracks to listen.
This song.  I feel like I've heard it before, but where? I opened the door and stayed in the doorway of the kitchen. Carolin's back was facing me, so she didn't see I was standing there.

 "Hey... um, can I sing you something?" She asked Me. I smiled at her. "I didn't know you could sing?"
"I can; it's just I don't sing often..."
"Sure." She got ready to sing the song she was writing... 

I groaned in pain, clutching my head and struggling to maintain my balance. I instinctively reached out and banged my hand against the wall to steady myself. As my heart raced and my head throbbed, a sudden loud thud followed by Caroline's scream echoed through the room. I had fallen on the floor. The world around me started to spin, and a wave of nausea washed over me as my stomach churned.
"Are you okay!" Caroline asked, rushing to my side.
I didn't answer her, which made her tap my cheek. I shake my head to get away from the dizziness. 
"What's going on?" Caroline said, taking her phone out.
 "No one has ever made me feel as small as you did..." More pain went to my head
"Ugh!" I squeezed my eyes shut and grasped Carolin's arm.
"Jungkook, tell me what's happening!" I felt a hand on my shoulder, shaking me.
"Are you okay?" I nodded slowly as the pain subsided.
"I'm okay..." I mumbled, slowly opening my eyes and staring into her eyes.
A surge of emotion swept through me, evoking a profound sense of déjà vu. It ignited a fierce blaze in my heart and soul while my mind grappled with the elusive recollection of where I had experienced this exact same feeling before. 

"Did you like it?" I looked up and saw myself in my old room with Caroline. 
"Jungkook? Are you okay?" Caroline asked me while walking towards me.
I didn't respond; I didn't know what to say. Why is she in my room? 
"Was I that bad?" She asked, waving her hands in front of my face.

"Jungkook!" My thoughts were interrupted as I snapped out of my reverie and turned to face Caroline. "What the hell, are you okay!?" Her voice was loud, and it pierced through my head, leaving me with a throbbing ache.
"Do we need to go to the hospital?" She asked me.
 I shook my head, "No, I'm okay. I just got dizzy," I told her.
Caroline helped me sit up slowly
"Are you sure? It looks like you got more than dizzy," Caroline stated.
I slowly rose to my feet, my heart pounding in my chest as I gazed into her eyes. At that moment, a surge of love washed over me, leaving me momentarily unable to vocalize my emotions. It confused me. Why do I feel like this? 
"You should go home and get some rest," She mumbled while glancing away.
I nodded slowly before turning on my heels.
"Thank you for helping me," I said before leaving.
Glancing behind me, Caroline was still looking at me. I quickly looked away from her and went into a random room. I opened it, got in, and slammed it shut with one move.
I leaned against the door while letting out a loud sigh.
"Holy shit," I mumbled, I raised my hand slowly and placed it gently over my heart, feeling the rapid, rhythmic thumping as my heart raced with excitement.
"That was so weird. Why did I get like that? Why am I feeling like this?" I stayed in there for a couple of minutes to calm myself down. I had to figure out why I was like this and if I knew Caroline before the accident. 

[Caroline's POV]

I got into my apartment and locked it. I sighed and Placed the keys in the key holder.
"What a day." I thought as I walked into my room. I got out of my clothes and got on comfortable ones.
I heard a knock at my door as I walked out of my room. I stopped in place and looked at the door. It was late at night, and no one was expected to visit. I waited for the uninvited guest to leave.
"Caroline, I know you're in there. I saw you walk in," My body froze, and my heart skipped a beat when I recognized whose voice it was.
"The fuck?"
I quickly made my way to the door and opened it slightly. I peeked through the crack. He saw me and smiled shyly. "Hi," he said.

"Hi, Jungkook."
