IU's POV
I was leaning my head on Kookie's shoulder while still my eyes closed. We are now here in Korea. We decided to just go to his apartment since it's closer to the airport.
"Baby, we're almost there. Don't fall asleep." I just groaned at him.
My manager is also on his way to Kookie's apartment. I feel so nervous already. I already texted him about it. He didn't say much but he seems fine with it since it's not confirmed yet.
To be honest, after talking to Jungkook about our situation, I feel like I became more at ease about it. I've already accepted it and there's no turning back. As long as I have Kookie by my side, I'll be alright.
Of course I still am worried about our fans, especially armys. I know that even though his members are fine with it, we can't still erase the fact that their career might be shattered because of this.
It's still early in the morning. I'm so sleepy. I ran to Kookie's bed right after we arrived. I didn't bother changing my clothes. I closed my eyes and hugged the pillow.
"Noona, change your clothes first~" I didn't move an inch cuz I was too lazy. Then I felt him remove my shirt and put a new one me. I smiled because of that, but my smile faded when I sniffed the shirt he put on me.
I immediately ran to the bathroom when I felt a circling feeling on my stomach. Then suddenly, I threw up. Good thing I reached the toilet on time. I felt Kookie rubbing my back. After throwing up, I went to the sink and washed my face.
I looked myself in the mirror. I don't look that bad, it's just that my eyes were watery and red, as well as my nose. I saw Kookie looking at me in the mirror. I turned back to face him.
"Are you okay?" He looks so worried. I smiled and nodded at him. I went closer and hugged him.
"Do you have other shirts?" I asked him. He seems to get my message. He held my hand as we went to his walk in closet. He grabbed a shirt, still with a tag on it. He smelled it first before giving it to me.
"I haven't used that one." I smiled at him and took the shirt, "Do you want to eat something? Are you hungry? Thirsty?" I chuckled at him.
"I'm fine. I'll just take a quick rest." He nodded at me and guided me back to his bed.
"Rest well, okay?" I nodded at him. He laid me down the bed, fixed the blanket and kissed my forehead before heading out the room.
I fell asleep after just a few seconds. I just woke up when I heard some voices outside. I went to the leaving room and saw Jungkook and Hanteo Oppa talking. They looked so serious.
They both looked at me at the same time, "How was your sleep?" Kookie stood up and guided me to the couch.
"It was good. Why didn't you wake me up?" I looked at Hanteo oppa, "I'm s-sorry, oppa."
He took a deep breath first before talking. "We can't do anything, Jieun-ah. It's already there. I'll try my best to protect you. You're also a family to me. So, I understand. You don't have to be sorry."
"Thank you." I'm so lucky to have him as my manager. I'm so blessed to have him and IU team.
We spent another hour talking about how we would handle this situation. We decided to still continue my comeback next month and my 10th anniv concert. Though we have to push it earlier. Jungkook was against it because it was too much but we have no choice.
After talking to Hanteo Oppa, Kookie and I are now getting ready for our OB appointment. I was sitting on the couch while waiting for Kookie who's taking a shower. I keep biting my finger nails because I was so nervous about our appointment. Even though I already know it myself, I still can't help but to get nervous.
