You open your eyes slowly and blink few times before trying to scan the place. "Where am I?" You try to get up but then you feel your head throb. "Ouch.." You groaned as you held your temple.
"Oh you're awake now?" Says the nurse. Nurse?!?!
You slowly wake up and look at her with thousands of question in your mind. Who, when, what, how were all over your mind.
She seems like a mind reader and so she smiles, "you're in the school clinic, dear. You were unconscious just now during your dodgeball practice due to a hit by a ball at your head." She explained.
"Ohh... Erm I don't... don't really remember what happened."
"It's okay. Don't force yourself since you just regain conscious."
You nodded then your eyes roams around the room. The nurse who was doing check-up, stops and look at you, "What is it dear? You're looking for your friend?"
"Friend..? Who?"
Just then, the door open and you saw Jongin enters. "Oh you're awake! Thank God." He said, letting out a soft relief sighs. The nurse chuckles, "oh you're back. Well she just woke up."
"Back..?" You asked in confusion.
"It was your friend," she pat Jongin's shoulder, "who brought you here."
"Him?" You look at her and she nodded. "You?" You turn to Jongin.
Jongin scratch his nape, "uhm, I... oh I brought your... stuff! Haha... I... I'll leave you to change and wait outside for you." He said then step out of the clinic.
"He must be shy. He was really worried when he brought you here." You were still confuse but still nodded to what the nurse just said.
"Well, I've checked on you and you're fine now. You can change your clothes and prepare to go home. It's getting pretty late now." She smiles and went to the pantry. You change your attire back to uniform. After saying your thank you and bid the nurse goodbye, you leave the room.
"Yah!"
You turn and you saw Jongin is leaning at the wall. "Yes Mr Kim Jongin?" You ask.
"Are you okay now?" He ask you back.
"Oh ne, I'm... I'm okay. Thank you..." You answer.
"Ahh its o-"
"No, really, I owed you. Thank you so much for... bringing me to the clinic."
Jongin nodded, "no big deal!" and smile sincerely to you. You heart beat was beating very fast when you saw his smile. "Urm s- so w- why are you... s- still here?" You stutter.
"What are you saying? I was waiting for you. Did you forget that I told you I'll be waiting outside?"
"A- ah, yes... sorry, I..."
"Shall we?" He was still smiling when he asked. You nods.
You don't know why did you just agreed with his request. It's either you feel guilty for troubling him or just because he ask to but one thing that you sure of is that there's a strange feeling when you walk with him. You both were silent throughout the journey.
"How's my little Jongdae is doing?" Jongin broke the silence.
"Jongdae..? Oh he is just fine." You answered
"Does he miss me?"
You chuckled. "A little. He always ask me, 'Noona, when is Kai hyung gonna bring me play again?' even when you both just met recently." Kai laughed hearing that.
"I guess he's just missed playing with me."
After 20 minutes of walking, you both stopped in front of your house. Jongin look at you, "Well urm, we're here... again." He said.
"Where do you live Jongin?" You asked because why not?
"Actually my house is nearby this area too. It's over there." Jongin point.
You nod. "Erm t- thank... you for.... walking back with me.... and for today...."
"Oh yeah, don't mention it! I guess... I'll get going now. See you then! Have a good rest!" He smiled, then walk away.
"You too!" You reply and went inside your house. "Eomma, I'm home." You said.
"Oh my dear, are you okay? Your school called and told me about your injury." Eomma hurriedly approach you, touching your forehead.
"I'm fine Eomma, don't worry. The nurse advice me to rest more so I'll just go get some rest now."
"Okay dear, go get some rest. If you need anything, tell Eomma okay?" She brush your hair.
"Ne Eomma." You went upstairs and straight headed to your room. You lied down on your bed, releasing a heavy sighed. You close your eyes, trying to snooze off.
"Jongin??" You asked.
"Ne, suprisingly he managed to catch you before you fall on the floor. I mean, he's like pretty far from us and out of sudden, he was there, holding you in his arms. He then carried you to the clinic. He even told us that he will handle it himself eventhough we insist following." Krystal said.
"Wait, so you mean..... Jongin ran from the other side and caught me before I fall??"
"Uhh yes, well that's what we all saw. In just a blink of an eye, you were in his arms. His face plastered worries. He called your name few times before he carried you to the clinic."
You opened your eyes wide when you remember the phone call you had with Krystal earlier before you left. "Why did he do that?? Why was he worried??" You bite you lower lips and slam yourself back onto the bed, massaging your temples.
"Well I guess, maybe I misinterpret him and maybe Jongin is really not bad at all." You smiled. "Thank you so much, Kim Jongin." You then doze off to your dreamland.
Why was I nervous when the she told her the truth? It took me a while to gather my courage and act normal in front of her. I've never did this to anyone before... Why was I worried over a.... friend?
Deep down inside, Jongin was also acting weird without you knowing.
