Mr. Shallow || K. Taehyung

「Chapter 54」

"Mm...What time is it?" With the crust still in her eyes, Minji started to blindly feel around on her nightstand for her phone. But after groping nothing but air for past few seconds, "the hell?" She noticed that something was kinda off. Her lids slightly peeled open so she could search properly, but came into more suspicion when she didn't see her phone. Much less the nightstand.

"'Oh no," her eyes shot open wide. The second they did, Minji finally realized--rather, remembered--her situation. Slowly, she turned over and found a sound sleep Jungkook right beside her. 'Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! I need to get out of here, right now!'

Minji tried to gently roll herself out of the bed and onto her feet, but failed when she landed right on her butt instead. 'Crap!' She peaked back over the edge of the bed to check if he was still sleeping, and fortunately, he was. 'Clothes! Where are my stupid clothes?!' On her knees, Minji started a scavenger hunt for her dress and jacket. But with each move she made, she could feel a bit of dull pain in her sides. 'Nice. My sides hurt and I can't find my flippin' cloth--Oh!' Just then, she stumbled upon them by the doorway and closet. She quickly crawled towards them, snatched them up, and went out through the door.

Minji then carefully got up on her feet and trudged her way towards the bathroom of the second floor. Once there, she closed the door gently and stood before the mirror to check her appearance. "Wow," she ran her fingers through her trashed curls, "my hair is a mess." But she soon became distracted by a little red mark, located on the crease of her neck. "Is that...a hickey?" she exclaimed in a quiet tone. Minji zoomed in on the red mark that claimed her neck. "Oh gosh...I'm going to have to put some makeup on that for a while..." She then looked down towards her chest and noticed two more sitting by her collarbone and another on the top of her breast. 'This guy doesn't know how to let up, does he?'

Minji continued to stare at herself and those new hickeys. Unable to come up with an answer, she sighed and started to get dressed. 'Should I be happy that he didn't realize it was me?' Following that, she started to think about last night's events. "I can't believe I slept with Jungkook..." Her cheeks started to burn feverishly. "And it was...amazing." But though those words came from her mouth, she couldn't help but frown. That amazing night only happened under the condition of him being drunk. Meaning, last night had no meaning whatsoever. The only person who would probably ever remember last night would be herself.

'I don't have time to stand around and think about this. I have to get out of here, get myself home, and take my ass to class.'

After she finished dressing, Minji immediately made her way down those squeaky steps. 'Ugh!' She cursed each step that squeaked under her weight. Once at the door, she strapped on her heels and went out the door, quietly.

Meanwhile, Jungkook was now waking up from his own biological clock. In the middle of stretching all his tiredness away, he winced at the dull pain that knocked through his head. "My head..." He held onto it with care, and trying to soothe away the pain. Once it was tamed for a while, he got up and started searching for his phone. When he found it, he tried to turn it on, but realized it was dead. Jungkook put the device to charge, turned it on and immediately became bombarded with notification on top of notification.

"Eighteen missed calls?" Jungkook looked at each missed call and found that they came from Jimin and some of the guys. "Three from Jimin hyung, 2 from Namjoon hyung, and...the rest are from Jiyeong?!" Jungkook's knees went a little weak before plopping down on the edge of his bed. A stressful sigh then escaped his lips. "She's probably really upset with me right now."
