Set Aflame

"Jungkook I need to get out of here," you murmur. "Your father recognizes me. He probably even knows who I am and is just hiding it. It's not safe for me here."

You and Jungkook have just escaped the living room and are now on your way to the guest room for bed time.

In the time that you talked to Jungkook's mom, you have found out that she loves baking, she loves Jungkook, and she went back to working at JR Labs "just like old times" as soon as Jungkook left home for college.

Which means she could totally be in on this whole "kidnap Y/n" thing.

That was when you stopped listening to her and couldn't stop thinking of the danger of being in Jungkook's house.

Jungkook shakes his head. "Relax, Y/n, if he's the one after you, he won't do anything to you tonight. There's nothing to be worried about. It's late in the evening anyway. We can get you out of here tomorrow."

Again. Not we. Ouch.

"Yeah, it's late in the evening because instead of planning or letting me talk to you, you decided it would be a good idea to use up the day talking to your mom."

"I haven't seen her in six months. Ease up."

"I can't ease up. I get how that feels. I love my family too. But I'm not safe here."

"Tomorrow okay? Just get a good rest tonight and we'll find another place tomorrow."

There's a we. So he doesn't want to leave you? Or he does?

You reach the guest room door and lean against it. "Tomorrow," you repeat. "Early in the morning?"

"Yeah sure. Just- not right now. Can you survive?"

You sigh. "Yeah fine. Are you..." you look down and bite your lip. "Going with me or... or not."

Jungkook raises both his arms. "I'm tied to you, remember?" He says. "Plus. I made you a promise. I'm not breaking it that fast."

You look back up at Jungkook with big eyes. "Really? You're-you're coming too?"

Jungkook nods. "Did you think I wouldn't?"

You look at his arm.

"My arm's fine, Y/n," Jungkook sighs. "Even if I wanted to stay here, you start burning while we're apart and I am done for. This shit hurts."

You look at the floor. "I'm sorry," you mumble. "I didn't... I thought that..."

"Doesn't matter. Just... go to sleep. We'll go somewhere else in the morning."

"Where?"

"I dunno. We'll figure that out later." He reaches for the door knob behind you an twists it. The door swings open. You stop leaning on it so you don't fall.

"Good night, Y/n," Jungkook says. He places a finger on your forehead and pushes you back. Your eyes follow his finger as your head goes back and your feet carry you inside the room.
