Help Her (Jeon Jungkook FF)

Put Your Head On My Shoulder

Jungkook's POV

I jerked awake because the thunder was echoing through the room. It was so close to the apartment that it shook it. I sat up and rubbed my face. I got up and went to the bathroom to relieve myself. I got done, washed my hands, and walked back to bed. I was all cuddled up and almost asleep when I heard the door creak open. I stayed still, hoping whoever it was would go away and leave me be.
"Jungkook?" Caroline whispered.
I didn't respond. I heard footsteps walking closer to the bed. "Jungkook." I felt a hand on my shoulder.
"Jungkook." All I wanted to do was sleep.
But she sounds scared. I opened my eyes and looked at her dark figure.
"Yes?" I mumbled.
"Uh... can I stay in here for a little bit?"
"Sure. I know that you are afraid of storms." My eyes widen,
"How did I know that?" I thought.
"Thank you!" She got in bed and pulled the covers over her face.

"This must be weird for you," She mumbled under the covers.
"Sort of," I chuckled, staying as far as I could from her.

I looked over at her; she peaked at the ceiling with wide eyes. I look away from her; I close my eyes to fall asleep. Suddenly, another flash of lightning glowed up the sky and a loud boom right after it. Caroline screamed and almost literally crawled on top of me. I gasped, and my eyes shot open because of her sudden movement toward me.
"C-Caroline...?" I mumbled, feeling myself freeze.
Her face is in my chest, her arms are holding onto me like her life depends on it, and her legs are around my legs.
"Can-" another boom of thunder interrupted me. She held on to me tighter.
"You know I have a girlfriend, right?"
"That doesn't matter when I'm about to fucking die," She said in my chest.
"You're not about to die," I groaned, trying to get her off of me.
She had a strong grip because she did not let go of me no matter what I did.
I sighed, feeling defeated, and slowly lifted my hand to her back. I pat her back several times before resting my hand on her.
"It's okay. It's just a storm." I whispered.
She was shaking pretty badly. I honestly felt bad for her. I didn't know anyone could be this scared of storms.
"There there," I whispered.
Caroline slowly lifts her gaze, her eyes widening as they meet mine. We both hold each other's gaze, and I can't help but feel startled by the beauty of her eyes. Despite the dim lighting, I notice a glint of something special within them, a spark that reveals an underlying depth and spirit.
My heart leaps with joy every time I gaze into her eyes. Each glance fills me with an overwhelming happiness I never felt with Jess. Caroline's long, flowing hair drapes on either side of me, obstructing my view. I feel her warm breath on my lips, sending shivers down my spine at the mere thought of kissing her.
Caroline let out a breath and fell to the side. I cleared my throat before saying, "I'm going to use the bathroom. I went in, locked the door, and looked at myself in the mirror.
"What am I doing?" I asked myself in a whisper.
"Why do I feel like this?"

I gather myself together. I flush the toilet to pretend I have to go pee. I open the door, walk out, and see all the lights in the bedroom. I glance over to the bed I was sleeping in and see a lump under the covers. Caroline is hiding from the storm again.
I sighed while walking over to her.
"Caroline? Are you okay?" I asked.
"No," she mumbled.
"Can you come out?" I asked with a small smile.
"No," she mumbled again.
"It's okay. I think it stopped now," I told her. Caroline popped her head out and looked around. She looked at me and gave me an awkward smile.
"Sorry, Jungkook," She got out of bed and went to the door and out.
I realized I had the perfect opportunity to ask her about the picture I saw earlier.
Suddenly, another loud thunder rang through the stormy night sky, causing the power to go out, and I heard a scream.
"Jungkook!" I got to the door frame and looked both ways, but I couldn't see because it was dark. I quickly got my phone and turned on the flashlight.
 "Jungkook!" Caroline called again; this time, it sounded like she was crying.
"I'm coming!" I shouted back.
