☆10☆ : New threat

Stinging pain.

I have a damn headache.
People were talking. I distinguished Jennie's voice.
I opened my eyes.
"Uuurggghh."
Flashing lights.
Oh, I was laying in the infirmary.
I saw Jennie talking to the nurse.
Jin and Suga hyung stood next to the nurse anticipating the conversation Jennie led.
Everyone now turned to me.

Water. I tried to ask what happened when a hand out of nowhere offered me a glass of water.
I looked to my left where the hand came from and met Jungkook's eyes.

Why was he here?

"Drink." was all he said demandingly.
I took the glass.

"God, you are awake!!!" Jennie exclaimed.
I looked to Yoongi hyung asking with my eyes what had happened.
He sighed "Dehydration. You lost strength and fainted."
"Damn Kyungmi, that's so dangerous. Why did you two battled when you aren't in a good condition?" Jin hyung interrupted and gave Jennie an accusing look.

She gulped. "Stop it! It's not her fault." Yoongi said while putting a hand on Jin's shoulder.
"Don't blame her. It was me. I should have drunken more water." I said with all the authority left.

"Exactly!!! You should drink way more water! 1.5 litres of water is the minimum to drink on a daily base. That's what I tell all my students!" the senior nurse, who just entered the room gasped not believing why I "tortured" my body.
I knew her... Oh, Ms Aurora was her name.
Right, she was the nutrition councillor. "Healthy ways to live" was the course she lectured. She might look like being over 100 years old with her tiny, fragile figure and her cane. But this woman was most certainly not to underestimate!

"Dehydration is not to underestimate! What would have happened if that young gentleman over there was not able to catch you, huh?" Ms Aurora scolded me.
The young nurse, who talked to my friends ealier gave me an apologetic look while checking the wires connected with my arm that provided my body some liquid.
What did he do? Catch me? I looked to the guy Ms Aurora was pointing at.
My heart made a skip.
I raised an eyebrow. Jungkook smirked. What did I miss?

"I am totally fine. It's nothing serious. Thank you for nursing me! I feel so much better now.
I am sure you have more serious cases to take care of." I tried to soothe the furious old woman while trying to get out of the bed.
"You will stay here until, you have recovered!" she roared.
"I did! I really need to go now-"

After arguing with the old woman we made a compromise: I was allowed to leave the infirmary when I got the infusion but had to come back for a daily check up. As if my dehydration was that serious! But the old stubborn lady insisted so I gave in.

"Drink more water you stupid panda!" Jennie said while holding my hand. We were walking back to the dorm.
I nodded. She always told me to drink more. It's not that I am drinking less on purpose I just tend to forget to drink aside from meals and after sport.

"You don't need to accompany us, it's getting late." I told the guys who were just a few feet away from us.
"It's 10pm. We still have an hour till curfew. And we can hangout at your place." Jin hyung stated.
Yoongi nodded.
"Then, what are you doing here?" I asked the boy walking next to me.

"Me? Hanging out at your place I suppose?"
 White t-shirt and black sport pants with nike trainers and a ladykiller-face.
I now understood why girls said he could cut paper with his strong jawline.

"Like what you see?" he smirked. I gave him a death glare.
Never am I going to admit that he was handsome!

"He catched you, when you fell. So stop being rude to him!" Jennie advocates Jungkook.
I gulped. He did?

"We were sick worried Kyungmi. You need to take care of yourself." Jin rubbed my back gently. I bit my lip "Hyung, I'm sorry for troubling you."

"It's alright don't make us ever rushing to the infirmary like that, will you?" Yoongi ruffled my hair like I was a toddler.
I nooded "I won't, hyung."

"So what do you think of our room?"
Jennie sat at the window nerviously slipping in her seat since Yoongi hyung sat next to her.
"Huh, why are you asking me that? I've been to your dorm like last week." Jin said dumbfounded.
"Oppa, I was not asking you!!!!"
I grinned. Siblings love.
Something I never had.

"Looks good to me. Really comfy indeed. Whoever was responsible for the interior design got my respect. And I can tell that it wasn't our feisty president because she lives like a nun!" Jennie blushed at Yoongi's indirect compliment. I threw my pillow at Yoongi hyung who just laughed it off.
"Come on, you would never think of light chains to decorate your room!" he flashed me his gummy smile pointing at Jennie's light chains.
He was right I'd never hang up a light chain and shape it like a unicorn! Or have the entire ceiling covered with some light chains?
Who the f#ck does that except from Jennie?
I mean, why would someone purposely waste more electricity than needed???

I just shrugged "I bet your room just has a bed and a desk."
Yoongi grinned "Nope, Jin forced me to get a couch, since he's sleeping over quite often."
"Why is Jin sleeping over at your room when your rooms are practically next to each other?!" I asked.
"You would miss your roommate too after living with him for years and then getting separated the last year of school!" Jin nagged.
"The life of seniors" I sighed over dramatically laying my hand right above my heart before laying in bed again.

"Guys, where's Jungkook by the way?" Jennie offered everyone chips.
"Going somewhere else when we entered your room." Yoongi shrugged.
Right he left after glancing in our room.
Probably thinking that he could spend his time better than with us.

Knock, knock.
"Come in!" Jennie yelled.
I snuggled up in my blanket.

"Hey"
Huh? Why was he back?
"Jungkook! We thought you went back to your dorm!" Jennie exclaimed.

"Why are you -? Oh... well she's upstairs"
Upstairs consisted of a small space for two beds and a small nightstand and a dresser.
Downstairs we had our desks a large window with seats and a tiny store room. We also had a bathroom that we shared with the girls living next to us.

I heard someone shuffling upstairs.
No! Go away! I don't want to be thankful to you!

"Thanks" I quietly mumbled.
"Huh?"
"Thank you" I said a little louder.
"For the water?"
"What?"
He handed me a water bottle. Grinning widely.
"Water." his deep velvet like voice stressed.
"Why are you - ?" I looked to him then back to his hand with the bottle.
"I went to buy you some" he leaned in to me smirking before placing the bottle between my bed and the wall "provision."
"I ... uhm thanks for catching me and for buying a water bottle I guess." I awkwardly said now sitting in my bed.
"You're welcome, sweetie." he whispered.
I bit my cheeks. His honey like voice was not helping to restrict any feelings either.
Can't he have at least a squeaking voice?
Or -

"F#CK!!!" Jennie shrieked.
"This b#stard!" Yoongi growled.
"Why-" Jin gasped.

"Guys, what happened?" I ran downstairs to see my friends crowded around Jennie's desk looking at her computer screen.
Yoongi turned to me. Concern flickering in his eyes "You won't like this..." he said before he let me see what outraged the three of them.

Our school's website.
A new publication.
And a very clear message.

Annuler le festival! Sinon des eleves vont saigner. 🐺

(Translation: Cancel the festival! Otherwise students will bleed/blood will be shed! 🐺)
