Jungkook's Light

Chapter 13

~Jiwoo~

I stirred my coffee, sighing to myself. The doctor's appointment didn't go too well. Maybe I should just stop going for a while. The last thing I wanted is to have him nagging me about that damn surgery.

"Did the coffee do you wrong?"

I flinched at the sound of Jungkook's voice and spun around to see him eating an apple while sitting on one of the stools.

"W-what are you doing here?" I stammered.

"I live here."

"I guess," I muttered.

"You're not going to ask me if I want anything?"

I started stirring the coffee again, "Well, that depends."

Jungkook raised both eyebrows, "On what?"

I tilted my head to the side and smiled at how serious he looked. He may not remember me but that doesn't mean I've forgotten him and the little things he does that makes me smile. Jungkook gave me a reason to fight but why is it that I feel that I'm fighting a losing battle?

"We can start with you being sick at today's—"

I didn't finish what I was saying because Jungkook suddenly dropped the apple, wincing in pain as he touched the side of his temple.

"Jungkook?" I asked. "What's wrong?"

He shook his head, got off his stool and then left me without saying anything else. I watched him leave and waited until I heard him close the door to his room. After I was sure he wasn't going to talk about that, I sighed to myself, leaning against the counter as I reached for my mug.

Maybe I was wrong. Maybe we weren't going to get close at all.

~Jungkook~

"What was that?" Jungkook muttered, making his way towards his room. He closed the door behind him and leaned against the door, tilting his head up, eyes shut.

He keeps getting really bad headaches these days and it was messing with his mood. Seeing Jiwoo wasn't really helping too. Why does this always happen every time Jungkook musters up the courage to talk to her? To get to know her? To remember her?

Jungkook reached up and touched the side of his head, wincing a little. When Jiwoo was tilting her head and smiling at Jungkook like that... it did something to him. He felt her lips pressed against his, whispering something he couldn't decipher.

Jungkook touched his lips with his fingertips and let out a sigh. Guess he was left with no choice after all.
