You'd made sure to send Sung Jin and Beom a quick text once Jungkook had fallen asleep noting that it was after midnight, letting them both know he was okay and he was now resting well; however you did fail to mention the fact that you were still in his room and he was resting well on your lap and that he'd fallen asleep with his arm hooked around your legs. Even though every single brain cell had screamed at you to get up and leave him there alone, let him sleep, throw the bed covers over him and let him sleep alone and go back to your own room, what happened in reality was much different. You found yourself softly stroking your fingers through his hair, and then running your hand very lightly down his back, drawing patterns over his T-shirt. You suddenly stopped yourself when you realised it's wrong; there was a moment of clarity as he made a soft snore and shuffled closer to you, hugging onto your legs tighter when you knew that it shouldn't be happening, something drawing you back to reality. You put your hand down to the sides and then let your head fall back, sleep wanting to claim you, and in the end, you let it. So it was only the alarm buzzing on your phone this morning that woke you up to find Jungkook still in the same place sound asleep lost in dreamland; he looks so peaceful and serene compared to how he looked last night after the performance, your heart couldn't help but skip a beat with everything that's happened in the last few hours.

Now was a whole new ball game

You gently raised a hand, stroking it through his hair, "Jungkook?" He didn't even move, you watch for a minute to see his chest going up and down just checking with yourself that he's still breathing. "Jungkook?" You try again louder, this time he stirs, he groans and then you stare down at his beautiful face as he turns over a little onto his back, but still resting his head in your lap; there's nothing but silence in the room and you're lost in the moment until Jungkook squints his eyes open slowly and blinks at you as if trying to understand whether he's dreaming or you're actually there, you wonder the same thing. When he doesn't speak but he just continues to look up at you, his features soft in the morning light, as much as you try, you can't help yourself when you reach out your hand and once again run your fingers very gently through his hair from the front to the nape of his neck while looking at him and as you do, you notice his eyes fluttering and then his eyelids blink rapidly, you know you're crossing a line but there's nothing you can do to stop yourself, it's too late, "hey, morning.." you say quietly with a smile, moving your hand from his hair, but still he just stares at you, ".. how are you feeling? Better?" This time it's like he's registering what's happening and Jungkook groans and stretches out his limbs removing his arms from their grip on your legs. Your own neck is stiff from falling asleep sitting up and your back is starting to ache from being upright all night, but what was you supposed to have done? How could you have just walked away? You never wanted to walk away and that's the problem that's increasing in your mind. His deep, raspy sleep ridden voice drags you back from your thoughts, "I feel floaty, like.. I don't know, I'm light headed, I don't feel right" your concern grows immediately although you remember he hasn't eaten properly for hours so by now it's probably hunger. You put your hand to his forehead, "your temperature seems okay now at least, I think maybe you're dehydrated and hungry Jungkook, you haven't had anything properly for hours, I need to call Sung Jin and let him know how you are, do you want a doctor?" His face alters instantly and the moment is broken and he sits up quickly looking wobbly, "no! No doctor, don't call a doctor, they won't let me perform, Sung Jin, will be... don't, Y/N don't please, I need to perform later, I promise I won't go too hard out there, please?" his pleads hit your heart hard, like it'd been smashed with a sledgehammer; "okay, okay it's alright" you reach out and sit your hand on top of his, electricity sparking through your skin, but you ignore it, Jungkook does still look a little pale but how can you force him not to perform? You can't. As an assistant you have no say in that, plus, you already know Jungkook is thinking of the fans and Sung Jin. "Jungkook let me call Sung Jin, go wash up, it'll be fine, I promise" you wish you hadn't said that, what if you can't keep your promise? You move your hand off of his, "you promise?" His eyes search your face for answers, "yeah, go freshen up, I'll call him" and with that he pulls himself slowly off the bed wandering into the bathroom as you press call on Sung Jin's name.

"Hello sir.." the conversation was nerve wracking, you hoped Sung Jin never asked you about your night, you don't want to have to lie about staying in Jungkook's room, you just want to never have to mention anything at all, sweep it under the rug and it never happened. "Good morning Y/N, how was Jungkook when you left him last night?" You swallow down the lump in your throat as you realise you're going to have to lie, you never left, "he was asleep, I think he slept well, although, sir, he's mentioned this morning that he feels faint.."

"I'll call a doctor.."

"No sir don't, Jungkook assured me he will be alright, I'll make sure he gets some food in him and some water, I'm sure by now he needs some energy." You run you fingers through your hair with stress hoping to hurry off the phone and go shower and change to rid you of sleeping in yesterday's clothes.

"Okay fine. Please make sure he eats, I don't mind if he arrives later to the studio, just make sure he's there in time for hair and makeup.. oh and Y/N I am grateful for your help, I, I believe that by allowing you to help the band more you build up a better relationship with them, so, thank you."

"Thank you for the faith in me sir, I will take care of Jungkook and get him to the studio on time, I won't let you down.. with him or any of the band." You hope he doesn't hear the slight shake in your voice as you try to push down the guilt you feel for the way you've previously thought of Jungkook, it has to stop, you can't carry on like this, you will be an assistant.

"See you later Y/N" and with that Sung Jin has disconnected the call and Jungkook came out of the bathroom, his hair still damp and ruffled from the towel drying and he was wearing casual sweats and a hoodie, you smile. "Feel better?" He nods his head, yes, "thanks for.. last night" his voice stutters and you feel your cheeks blush, "Jungkook I erm.. I'm going to go and freshen up, Sung Jin told me to make sure you eat and we can turn up at the tv studio later than usual.. no need for you to be there all day apparently, so will you stay here and wait for me to come back? We.. I'll get us breakfast?" You say shyly but he just continues to look at you with his big sparkly doe eyes, "yes of course.. I'll be right here" he smiles and you nod, "see you soon, I won't be long."
