Desperate Kiss

I was lost in my own cosmos trying to make sense out of the paranormal activities that were happening around me. I had taken two days of break attempting to bring my thoughts straight, I had talked with Suba, went to Jin and explained everything that had occurred but couldn't come into any reasonable conclusion.

They both imposed that it was simply my mind playing tricks and the session ended with the addition of more medicine to take but I couldn't bring myself to accept their explanation.

because why now?

Why after three years I would start having such hallucinations?

And if it really was Taehyung who was hunting me then why would he take three years to return back?

A shiver ran down by my spine when his face flashed on my mind. As if cold liquid metal flowed into my body, I got chills all over my bones so I quickly shrugged the thoughts away.

"Tiara!" Charlotte called me from behind snapping me out of my trance.

"How have you been? I haven't seen you for days" I gave her a guilty smile and whispered out a small sorry then lied that I got sick due to excess drinking.

"By the way who found me?" I questioned as my heart picked up its pace unsure if I was ready to hear the answer that could lead to some findings.

"A lady staff found you lying unconscious on the bathroom floor. To be honest, we all were so drunk to even notice you were gone and after that Hyein passed out as well, Jongkyun vomited all over the place, it was a mess."

She went on and gave me details on everything that had happened the night of gathering. It wasn't unusual for some people to pass out in such meetups so now the only thing that bugged me was how did no one notice the blood in the basin and the shattered mirror in the toilet.

"Do you know where Jungkook is?" I inquired feeling my anxiety growing rapidly.

I had to know if what I saw was real or not.

"Yeah, he has the lecture in computational intelligence right now" As soon as I got the info, I murmured a small thank you and dashed out to the lecture hall.

I didn't even care if I was interrupting the class in the middle and headed straight beside Jungkook.

Jungkook was clearly surprised by my presence after all he knew I hadn't taken this course this semester nevertheless he requested the person beside him to shift a little to make some space for me.

"How are you?"

He quickly wrote down a note for me to see.

"I am fine Jungkook, were you the one who carried me from the bathroom?"

I didn't waste any time and jumped right into interrogating Jungkook.

"Yes, did you lose something?"

He looked at me and I shook my head.

"When I passed out I think I broke the mirror"

I don't know if my words made any sense however I jotted it down without giving much thought to it.

"Really? I didn't see anything broken, are you sure?"

My heart slumped down on the pit of my stomach. It was getting tougher and tougher for me to continue writing down my questions when I knew the answer would be far away from what I was anticipating.

"Nothing unusual was there? like no blood? "mustering up the courage I wrote it down when Jungkook immediately responded.

"Did you hurt yourself? Sorry I didn't notice if you did. Are you all fine now? does it hurt?"

With an uptight expression, he continued to pour his concerns upon me but I could no longer answer him.

Suddenly all the strength on my wrist faded away and the pen I was holding dropped down from my hand when the realization hit me like a truck. There was nothing that could logically explain my predicament leaving me with only two options, both equally heart-wrenching.

I laid my head down on the table and cupped my mouth to muffle my sobs because,

Either I was going mad or

He had really come back from the dead.

"Tia" Jungkook stirred me with a slight panic mingling in his voice and when I didn't respond to him for the third time, he snaked his arms around my waist and pull me close to his body.

The warmth radiating from him did provide me some form of solace but it didn't guarantee my safety.

I have no clue for how long I had remained in the same position bawling my eyes out but after some time I started to hear people chattering and their footsteps fading away as they exited the hall.

Some people asked Jungkook to join them to the cafeteria but he politely declined saying he wanted to look after me because I was having a stomach cramp.

Everyone must have thought that I was on my periods nevertheless I was thankful to Jungkook for covering up for me.

When everybody was gone, I slowly rose my face up to meet his eyes. I was embarrassed for breaking down before him so sniffing I puckered my lips saying sorry.

For some reason, his breath shuddered. His pupils dilated while he was studying my face, tracing my features with his gentle eyes.

The ardour with which he was boring his eyes into my soul made me bit conscious so I shifted in my seat nibbling my lips.

Catching me off guard and confused, he placed a small kiss on my lips stunning me for a moment.

"Dont cry, please" he whispered against my lips and deepened the kiss while I stayed frozen as my mind was desperately scrambling to make sense out of his action.

When he got no response from me, Jungkook cursed under his breath and pulled away averting his gaze. Unlike before he could no longer look into my eyes.

"I am sorry, seeing you in tears I had a strong tendency to do something to comfort you. I don't know why I did it but I couldn't help it." he was explaining himself rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"You are so beautiful Tia and you always made my heart go wild. From the first day you smiled at me I...."

"shit" when he realized what he blurted out he covered his mouth with wide eyes.

"Its...O..k" red blush flushed my cheeks and I quickly contemplated the words to say at that moment to make it less awkward.

Rather than feeling mad, I felt butterflies crowding my belly. I wanted to shoo them away but harder I tired more they fluttered against my will.

"No you have a boyfriend and I should not have kissed you" He appeared defeated and as if accepting the fact I was with someone was painful to him, he bit his lips hard and looked away with a clenched fist.

I was stunned for a while wondering how did he come to a conclusion that I was in relationship when the incident where I fainted and Jimin had to came to pick me up hit me. Even though I was not in my senses witnessing the way Jimin must have held me, he must have gotten the idea that we were dating.

"I dont have a boyfriend" I confessed shrugging my shoulder.

"You don't" Jungkook looked shocked at the revelation.

"But..." he stopped himself but I knew what he wanted to say.

"It's complicated actually but we are not dating, however we are living together" I mentioned.

We remained quiet for some time and when few students began to enter the hall we got the clue that it was time to leave.

Gathering our stuff, we walked out of the hall with our lips zipped shut. None of us bothered to say anything until we reached the coffee machine.

"Do you want some coffee?" I asked to break the tension between us and Jungkook who seemed to be in deep thought nodded his head signalling okay.

I had missed my first lecture and my second lecture wouldn't start until an hour later so I dawdled to choose what kind of coffee I wanted to drink when Jungkook's voice garnered my attention.

"Does that mean kissing you wasn't wrong?" my finger which was about to press the vanilla Machito button paused.

It felt like I had no answer to his question. Jimin and I never discussed the grounds on which our relationship was based upon.

I knew he went on dates but I never bothered knowing the details. I had no clue what he did outside since I never pried in his external affairs.

Confused on what to reply, I slowly spun around to face Jungkook when I noticed we were not even millimeter apart.

Jungkook was so close to me that my heart felt like it would explode. I didn't even have the courage to lift my head up to look directly into his eyes.

His towering frame made me feel small and swallowing down the lump in my throat I squeaked whatever that came in my head." I don't know"

I told him sincerely.

I really didn't know if it was right or wrong.

It would be wrong if I got offended right? but his kiss simply made my heart flutter so would it be counted as right?

"I think I no longer care" with that he pressed his lips against mine into a desperate kiss.

He pushed me with his kiss until I was leaning on the machine as he angled his head to get a better grip on the kiss. Disregarding all the students surrounding us we kissed as if it was our very last kiss, losing our mind completely over each other's touch.
