chapter twenty • ❤️

beep... beep... beep... beep...

slowly, my eyes open and i squint from the brightness of the room. my body is warm and dry, unlike it was the last time i was awake. where am i?

i look around, regaining consciousness. the white walls and white bed sheets are blinding and the air is quite cold. the glass window separating my room and the rest of the facility shows nurses and doctors rushing by. the hospital?

  "you're awake." his voice lingers in the silence of the room. my eyes look to him, longing for him, "jungkook?"

  his tall figure steps over to my bed and he holds my left hand in his, "you've been out for three days, y/n."

  "what?" i ask, trying to remember what happened. "what's going on?"

  "i found you passed out on jimin's porch, you were freezing- the doctors said you must have slipped into a minor coma." jungkook explains, i can see the worry on his face. he seems drained... exhausted... i know vampires don't sleep, but he looks like he could use one hundred years of rest right about now...

  "a coma?" i question.

  "the doctors said you've been through a lot and your body basically shut itself down for a few days... they said you hadn't eaten enough and your body didn't have the nutrition to keep going." jungkook tightens his grip on my hand, looking down at the floor. "it's my fault, i should have done more."

  "what? nothing is your fault, baby." the words leave my mouth so smoothly and easy.

  he looks up to me, the sadness and worry leaves and is replaced with a smirk. "you must not remember what happened before you were out."

  i furrow my eyebrows, "what do you mean?"

  "you should probably resent me instead of calling me baby. you were pretty pissed off the day i found you on jimin's porch." jungkook explains.

  i try my hardest to remember but for some reason, my brain locked away yet another life event that i desperately wanted to recall. hopefully this won't ever happen again, because i hate blacking out like that.

  "i-i can't remember..." i say, wanting to cry and scream and shut myself away all at once.

  jungkook sees my confusion and can tell i'm upset, so he scoots closer to me, "hey, it's okay." he plants a kiss on my hand, "i'm here, i can tell you..."

  "but wouldn't that make me mad at you all over again?" i look into his eyes.

  "i don't care... you should know what happened to you." he stares back into my eyes and i could see galaxies... stars upon stars... planets upon planets... it was beautiful.

  jungkook finished explaining everything that led up to him finding me on jimin's porch three days ago. i felt the anger again. the resentment. the frustration.

  no wonder i crashed, i couldn't handle the truth. hearing it a second time was like a gunshot to the chest.

  "where is lisa?" i ask, seeing as i hadn't seen her in about five days now.

  "she's actually been spending time here with you. she doesn't know what's going on, but i've been taking care of her for you and your parents." jungkook says, which puts a smile on my face. "thank you, you didn't have to do that."

  "but i did because i..." he cuts himself off.

  my eyes watch him. he wanted to say more, maybe pour his heart out to me in this very moment, but i could tell he was hesitant. he wants to wait.

  "i know." i say, giving him a soft smile.

  suddenly, a tall man enters my room, "ah, she's awake! perfect!" it was a man in a white button up and with a doctor's jacket over it. he smiles widely at me, "good morning miss y/n!"

  "good morning." i reply, jungkook takes his hands away and leans back in his chair.

  "so, you were out for three days. you suffered a very minor coma there for the most of it. we believe your body just needed a reboot and we gave you an IV and we were hoping you'd wake up yesterday. since that wasn't the case, it's amazing to see you're back with us today. are you feeling dizzy, nauseous, tired?" the doctor questions.

  i shake my head, "no, i feel pretty good actually."

  "that's perfect, we are prescribing you with medication. one is for your mood, it's basically like a happy pill. the other is just some vitamins that you'll need to start taking daily so your body can get back to the stage it needs to be in to function properly." he smiles at me.

  "why do i need happy pills?" i ask.

  "a lot of young adults go through stages in life where they can become depressed without even knowing it... since you're parents are currently in jail, you might want to reevaluate your mood and how you feel. i think the medication will do you some good." the doctor holds up a clipboard and marks it. "you just need to sign here and you can sign yourself out and when you are ready, you can stop by the front desk, grab your prescription and head out."

  "thank you." i say and sign the paper.

  after he leaves i look to jungkook who was oddly quiet. too quiet...

  "what's wrong?"

  he shakes his head, "i don't want you taking that medication."

  "but the vitamins will help me-"

  "you know which one i'm talking about." his voice is stern and deep. it sent chills down my neck and made goosebumps along my arms.

  "you don't need medication for your moods. i know how to fix that without medicine." jungkook looks to me, smirks, and then stands up to leave.

  "wait, where are you going?" i ask.

  "to get lisa while you get dressed. i brought you some clothes that i think would look nice on you." jungkook points to my right and there's some neatly folded clothes sitting on a chair.

  "wait- don't you want to help me get dressed?" i ask.

  he stops at the door and turns to look at me, "mmm, very tempting... how about i take you out of those clothes later on?"

  i blush, i blush so bad that my face gets ten times hotter than usual, "i- uh-"

  he looks at me with his eyes half closed and his lips slightly parted, "you're just as beautiful waking up out of a three day coma as you are on any other day... hm..."

  with that, he turns around and leaves me to my privacy.
