Chapter 16

Jinhee POV

I woke to a massive headache.

"Where am I?" I looked around the room I was in curiously.

Oh.

Jungkook's house. I got out of his bed and headed for the bathroom. I took a step forward and collapsed from pain. I glanced at my bandaged knee.

What happened last night?

Right at that moment, the door opened and Jungkook walked in. He took one look at me and went into full panic mode.

"Oh my god! Jinhee are you okay? How are you feeling? You shouldn't be out of bed so soon! Why are you on the floor?!"

I swatted away his outstretched hands and scoffed, "I wanted to go to the toilet, but I fell down because my knee hurt like crazy. What happened last night?"

"Well you hit your head pretty hard last night when that idiot pushed you. You also scraped your knee. I carried you back here and helped you bandage it."

I was surprised at first but I wrapped my arms around his tiny waist and squeezed hard. "Thanks Kookie."

He stiffened at first, but relaxed immediately after. He hugged me back. "My pleasure. Always ready to help you."

I groaned when my headache worsened. "Here, eat this. It'll feel better soon."

He brought my frail body to his bed while handing me a glass of water and a small white pill.

I took it and Jungkook insisted that I lay back down whilst he went to get breakfast for me.

When he left, my phone rang. I groaned again and picked up the call.

"Hello?"

"Park Jinhee! Where have you been! Why didn't you go to school today? Do you know how worried your father and I was when you didn't come home last night?!"

I gulped.

Uh oh. Omma's mad.

Jimin POV

I was beyond worried. Jinhee didn't come to school today. Neither did Jungkook. I know they were together the last time I saw them. Jinhee insisted on staying with Jungkook to make sure he was fine.

To be honest, I think he looked much better after Jinhee arrived. It's like she's the only person who can heal him. Physically and mentally.

I'm actually jealous of how they're so comfortable with each other. They click really well. In more than a few ways.

I don't stand a chance, guess Kookie's wish will come through. I sighed and dialled Jungkook's number again.

"The number you've dialled is currently not available, please try agai---"

I slammed my phone face down on the table and unluckily drew attention to myself from the teacher. Mr Kim glared at me and returned to what he was doing.

"Ugh, some great day..." I muttered to myself. The end of school came quickly, thankfully. My hyungs and I together with Tae went to Jungkook's house again, to check what happened to the pair.

I rang the doorbell and Jungkook himself opened the door.

"Hey hyungs! What are you doing here?"

"You look well." was the first thing that Tae blurted out. The maknae shrugged and said, "Must have been the pills that Jinhee gave me."

We trooped indoors and greeted Mrs Jeon. "Hello boys, make yourselves at home! I'll be right back!"

She hurried off and came back with a steaming tray of...wait for it...

OMG!!! CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES!!!

All of us looked at Mrs Jeon for approval and when she nodded, all hell broke loose.

"They're mine!"

"Not if I can help it!"

"Back off!"

"Quit putting my hand in your mouth, I'm not food!"

I quickly grabbed three and started to wolf the cookies down. My mouth was so full that I'm sure I looked like an overgrown walrus.

"So...why are you guys here? I'm better now." the ever curious youngster asked.

"Why didn't you come to school today you brat!"

As usual, Yoongi hyung was blunt and to the point.

"Oh well I still had a slight fever in the morning and I had to take care of Jinhee."

"Why? What happened to her?!" I exclaimed, feeling worried.

"Some idiot pushed her when she was talking to me last night and made her hit her head on the ground yesterday and she fainted. So I brought her back here to treat her wounds since I don't know where she lives. Then her mom found out that she missed school cause she woke up at 3 in the afternoon and she had to go back." he explained.

Wow.

I want to kill that son of a bitch.

Wait, why does Jungkookie's face look purple and blue?! "Jungkook ah! What happened to your face?!"

His expression immediately turned sour. The other guys craned their necks at his face to check.

My eyes widened when I thought of a possibility, "Did that idiot punch you in the face?!"

"...Jinhee did that when I was cleaning her wound..." he muttered.

It was silent for a second, then all of us burst into fits of laughter, which Jungkook seemed to despise.

"OMG! Nice work Jungkook, you tried to help her and she punched you in the face!"

I barely heard what Namjoon hyung said. I was too busy choking on my own saliva and trying to get my breathing under control.

"Yeah yeah very funny," the irritated maknae shot us all a grumpy look.

With tears still in the corners of his eyes, Tae asked, "Well I'm sure you had a good time last night kookie."

The youngest replied flatly, "No, I really didn't."

Jinhee POV

I stood outside my front door, hesitating to go in. My hand hovered over the doorknob and I was about to twist it when the door flew open.

"Where have you been?!" I winced at the loud voice.

Omma always scared me when she was mad, but I was in the wrong this time so I went with the flow.

I stepped into the house and took off my shoes and placed them neatly at the side before launching into a 20 minute explanation as to why I didn't come home last night and didn't go to school today.

"So Omma, you see, it really wasn't within my control."

I think I summed it up pretty nicely.

Omma sighed and spread her arms, and I dove in immediately for a huge bear hug.

"Well in that case thank goodness you're okay!" I smiled and added cheekily, "Can I get ice cream now?"

Omma grinned at me and said, "You always know when I buy your favourite ice cream. I wonder where that sense of smell comes from."

Jungkook POV

I got a call just as I was about to pull on my shirt. I stopped and picked up my phone.

Jinhee.

"Yeah? What's up? Anything wrong?"

"No no everything's fine, I just wanted to check up on you, and you know thank you for taking care of me." I sighed.

"I thought I told you it was fine."

"Well I still think I should treat you to something."

"...In that case...buy me ice cream."

I smiled when she chuckled and said, "Okay big boy, whatever you want."
