(Completed) Mr. Kim

32 Thirty-two

Continuation- -

After the nurse left, my grandmother came back in. Before she sat down, she started to speak.
"Baby, I suggest you take the year long break.
I don't want any other bad things to happen to you."

"I-I will grandma. I-I-I think I need it also."

"Thank you for thinking of your safety first rather than your studies.
During the break I want you to stay with little old grandma. I get lonely sometimes by myself, me being your only family, and the fact that you're off to college."

"I-I understand grandma."
"I'll be back tomorrow. I'm so glad you woke up, it's been a few days from the medicine.
Sweet dreams Jungkookie."

Her lips made an O shape on my forehead.
She patted me, walking back out of the room.
I let the tears fall down my face.

This was all too much for me to handle.
I wiped my eyes, feeling them water as I touched them, not being able to see my hands.

I calmed down a little bit at the thought that my vision will be back.
I heard the door open and close, and I tried to perk my ears up to see if I could know who it was by sound.

"Hello?" I ask, getting the feeling that it wasn't grandma, the nice nurse, or the doctor.
"It's Taehyung, Jungkook."
I froze.
Taehyung?

"Hi."
"Hey, Jungkook."
It was silent for a moment, before he asked me a question.
"Why, why aren't you looking at me? Did-did I do something to hurt you?"

My anger came but quickly diminished, knowing my anger wasn't directed towards him.
"Sit down in the chair by my bedside."
He does as told. I can feel his warmth by my head.

"As you probably know, I was taken away by the ambulance. The reason is because on my way home I was stabbed. I got surgery and the nurse told me that damage was done to my optic nerves by head trauma, so I'm temporarily blind for a few days."

"Oh my God Jungkook, that's, that's a lot."
I nod.
"I know. Just so you know, don't look for me on campus anymore after I'm released."
"Why?"
"Because of this, I'm taking a year long break. I-I have some things that I-I need to sort out myself."

He's silent for a minute.
"Am I aloud to visit you?"
"I won't be in my dorms. I'm going to live with my grandma."
He doesn't stop.
"Please, can I still? I don't mean to be a bother, but I'm honestly very worried about you."

I stop talking, thinking about his words.
Honestly his presence does annoy me, and he does always try to pry into my private life.

"Fine."
"Fine?"
"I wasn't finished. I'll ask my grandma for the address if you promise not to ask about my private life."

"Ok. I won't. Thank you for letting me. I'm thankful."
"Sure."
