Perfect Timing

Chapter 19: I'm Fine

Jungkooks POV:

   You've got to be kidding me. Tiffany's here? Why? She barely knows Y/n. The thought of the two being friends made me cringe. Like I was protecting something, I Instinctively felt my grip around Y/ns shoulder tighten.

   Y/n glanced at me, but didn't object. Tiffany approached us closer. "It's so great that you two are friends." Her voice sounded pained, "I heard from your sister about you being stuck here and not being able to make it to our dinner tonight. So of course, I had to visit my favorite little sister!" She teased while pinching her cheeks.

  Y/n's cutely scrunched her face away, but Tiffany followed it up by opening her arms to hug. In the process, my arm was shoved off, and I could see Tiffany smirk to me from behind Y/n's shoulder.

   Y/n jerked awkwardly hugging back, "Uh yea, thanks for coming..." she tried to sound sincere, but there was obvious tension filling the room.

   Tiffany released her and stood between us now. "Well, Y/n you have to tell me all about it! Can I talk to you alone? I know your frail little self might not be able to take it, but can I take a short walk around the floor with you?"

   Y/n looked hesitant, "Frail? Bet! I'll run around the hallway right now." In an attempt to show how capable she was she punched her fist to the ceiling. She grimaced in pain a bit at the sudden movement.

   Tiffany chuckled, "Oh how cute, i wouldn't want to over work you, but let's have some girl talk then. Shall we?" she smiled back to the rest of us. Y/n must have realized what she just agreed to and reluctantly followed.

   I wasn't trying to hog all Y/ns attention or anything, but I sure didn't want her to leave. Y/n glanced back at me before walking out. I mouthed a "you got this" while giving her a thumbs up. She smiled at the gesture giving me a salute in return.

   After they walked out, I turned to the other two in the room, "How long have you and Tiffany been friends?" I poked.

   Jess looked up, "mmm she was really interested in hanging out recently. But we have known her I guess for a couple months now?"

   I thought about that, I guess she could have changed since I knew her. I'm still uneasy about it though.

   Just then we heard a knock. "Are they back already?" Marie stood up to get the door. Hiding behind we saw a multitude of visitors.

   V looked excited while holding a feel better balloon, "Y/n! Guess who!" He smiled popping to the room first. His face grew a little disappointed upon not seeing her. "Is she hiding?" The handsome man asked while checking under the bed.

   RM held a bouquet of flowers in his right hand and spoke up, "Jimin told us she was in the hospital, and we all wanted to see her. The receptionist didn't look too happy at how many of us there were, but we made it!" He cheered.

   I smiled at the sight of all my friends. Marie spoke up, "She stepped out for a bit, but they'll be right back." Banter erupted throughout the room. Everyone seemed to be in good spirits. But I was anxiously checking the door to see if it would open.

   My glancing finally came in handy when I saw y/n creak her head through. "Hey guys, I think it's best if-" she stopped when seeing the mass of people in the room.

   "Y/n!" V jumped, running to get her attention. "We were so worried!" He examined the scratches on her face. "Ahhh, you're looking so tough! Like you just won a fight!"

   She held her cheek feeling the scratches from the concrete, "Oh, uh thanks" she muttered shyly.

   "What were you saying before?" I was eager to find out what Tiffany said to her.

   Her cheeks turned flushed when she looked up at the faces staring back at her. "Oh, right..." she glanced back at Tiffany. "It's nothing, never mind." She threw on a smile, "Thank you guys for coming!"

   I frowned, something was clearly bothering her now. She turned her head back towards the ground.

   "Y/n! We brought chocolate for you! Marie said Lindt was your favorite right? Check it!" Jimin spoke.

   Her face turned up at that. "Really?" Her sad expression had changed to a softer one, "That's so nice of you" her demeanor brightening.

   Was the mention of chocolate all it took to lighten her mood? I made a mental note of that for later. But why is she upset?

   Y/n made her way towards the chocolate and I was about to follow the crowd, but Tiffany pulled on my shirt. "Hey, can I talk to you outside?"

   I glanced from Tiffany to Y/n who looked at me curiously from the other of the room. I sighed, "make it quick"

   She smiled and pulled me out of the room. I felt Y/ns gaze follow my every step.

   Tiffany bit her lip. "Why aren'tyou responding to the emails?" She seemed much more impatient than before.

   "They go straight to spam."

   She was boiling, "Are you kidding me? You're ignoring the only opportunity you'll get to land your music career? I have been asking nicely, Jungkook. I really don't suggest rejecting my offer." She smiled and stroked my chin.

   I pulled back, "Is that a threat?"

   "Take it as you will. But your luck hasn't been great lately has it? Lots of danger you two have been through lately. Poor Y/n right?" Her other hand started to rub my shoulder, "Think carefully Sweetheart" she giggled, "Her little secret can only help her so much" and turned back to go back in the hospital room.
  
   I stood there stunned. Was Tiffany behind all of this?

   "Y/n how many are you going to eat!" I could hear Tiffany tease her from the other room, and I made my way back in. Its decided. I wasn't about to let Tiffany win. Not especially when Y/n was still recovering.

   I skirted over to the crowd that was surrounding Y/n's bed. They were all sharing chocolate now. I skirted around Jess and leaned on the bed next to Y/n.

   "Hey, I missed you! Can I get in on this chocolate party too?" I smiled.

Jungkooks POV:

   Visitor hours were about to end again. The only ones still around were Jimin, Marie, Jess, and Me. Marie smiled, "Alright, Y/n, that's enough babysitting for one day, we should get going."
  
   Y/ns expression turned slightly disappointed, but she tried to hide it. "Oh right, of course! Yea, you guys should get some sleep. Thank you for staying so long! I really appreciated it!" She scratched the back of her head.

   Jimin replied, "Anytime!" Everyone but Y/n was grabbing there stuff. While they were distracted I took my chance to see Y/n alone.

   I thought about Tiffany's threat from earlier, "Hey, I'm really sorry about all of this."

   She smiled at me, "You didn't do anything wrong. Besides everything worked out just fine."

   "Ahh, well? I still wanna do something for you. Want to...I dunno escape this Saturday? Go somewhere and forget about the craziness for a bit?"

   I smiled and we both stared intently. Marie was now noticing the conversation.

   Y/n was intrigued, "Oh? Consider me there. Any place in mind?"

   I thought for a moment, "Mmm, how about a hike? I think, I know just the place." Marie cut in.

   "Hike! Oh that sounds like fun! Yea, I know I'm free tomorrow." She turned back, "Hey! Jimin jess! you guys free tomorrow too?"

   They both glanced at one another, "Hmm, yea probably" Jess called.

   "Yea, same here" Jimin agreed.

   I was about to object, but Marie continued, "welp! Its settled then! We'll all go together!" She looked at me specifically while speaking. "Wouldn't want you two to have all the fun right?"

   I sighed, "Uh yea, let's all go"

Hey! Late update but we got it!
