On The Inside [JJK]

~ FOUR || 4 ~

Y/N's POV

The days went on. Same thing over and over. His dreams becoming more vivid.

"Jungkook, are you okay?" I often asked, seeing the boy wipe his eyes in the mornings, sluggishly making his way in and out of the bathroom. It was miserable for him. He saw things that no one should have to witness. Things that happened to people around him, his friends.

Even himself.

He would wake up in the middle of the night screaming, or lay in my bed and just stay there. When I would ask, he wouldn't answer "Just cause" or say nothing at all.

The dreams would repeat and sometimes new things would be revealed. Minor details though. There was only one time though...

"Y/N!"

A hand waved and snapped in my face, as I jerked back and looked up to see Hye Na while Tae Mi was sitting across from me.

"Hm?"

"What's wrong? We've been calling you and you've barley touched your food. This isn't like you."

I glanced at the unchanged tray of food in front of me.

"It's nothing..." I mumbled.

"*cough* Liar *cough*" I glared at Tae Mi who looked away mischievously.

"Okay fine, it's Jungkook, but don't worry about it. It's fine." I smiled and put a spoonful in my mouth, trying to display an okay emotion.

"Why are you so worried? He's not even related to you-"

"Shut up."

They shrunk back a bit at my statement.

"Look, sorry. I just care about him, alright?"

They looked at each other and smiled, turning back to me.

"You don't think...?" Said one.

"Maybe..." said the other.

Hye Na sat down next to me and held my shoulders. "Y/N, are you sure that you don't like-"

"No." I pushed her away and scoffed, turning back to my food. "A-As if..."

"Okay, Okay. I get it. Anyway, I gotta go. Tae, you coming with?"

"Sure." Both of them waved and walked off, leaving me alone at the table.

Something heavy settled in my chest, as I poked my food.

Me? Like Jungkook? I thought. That's not possible. It shouldn't be... but....

I put down my fork and got up, dropping my food in the trash and storming off.

"As if I would ever..."

Classes ended. Everyone was filing out and I had walked to grab a few things from my locker.

I passed by a classroom and saw figure sitting in one of the middle top rows. Slowly twisting the doorknob, I entered quietly. The room was dim and eerie, which was odd since it was usually one of the liveliest and bright.

As I climbed up a few, I felt something.

Shadows were lurking. The air shifted.

I didn't know what it was but I decided to continue and walk towards the person. Their head rested on the desk.

The closer I got the more fear decided to sink in.

Because I knew. The hair. The stature. The feeling.

I ran over and looked at his face. He was sweating and breathing heavily. He tightened his fist to the point it was starting to bleed.

"Jungkook!" I shook the boy but he wasn't reacting. Instead the room got darker and I could hear whispers and crows.

It was one of the few times I haven't gotten this scared or worried.

"Jungkook! Please wake up!"

Nothing.

I tried to pull him, but ended up falling back and him landing on me. He was heavy. But he wasn't moving.

I continued to shake him but no response.

"Come on... think..." I held him in an embrace and closed my eyes.

Block it all. Block them away. Block away what is in this room and what is going. The thoughts. The memories. The images. Everything. Block them all, I thought.

He needs to wake up.

"Jungkook..." I whispered.

Silence.

Then I felt something wrap around me and I openly my eyes.

"Why are you whining?"

This boy was looking at me smiling, looking exhausted, but smiling. He used his finger to wipe me face.

"And don't cry. It's cute but it doesn't fit you."

I push him off and stand up.

"Shut up and let's go...." I turned around and rushed out of the room, hiding my face on my way.

"Wait up!" I heard behind me but I turned the corner fast enough.

I let out a sigh as I leaned on the wall. What was going on?  Why is my heart beating so quickly and palm is clammy?

"Maybe I was just too scared to realize it..." I mumbled.

"Found you!" Jungkook jumped in front of me, causing me to flinch backwards. "Oh sorry. Let's get out here." He drops his arm around my shoulders and starts to guide us home.

As if nothing had happened.
