Chapter Eight: Horror Movie Hangover

It was around 2 am when the boys were getting ready to leave, Jimin said he was tired to drive at this hour and since he is used to stay in Jungkook's house, he decided to stay the night here.

" Thanks Y/N, The food was amazing " Hoseok patted your head gently and smiled " It was really nice to meet you!"

" It's a pleasure to meet you as well " You returned the smile feeling happy that you could meet new friends, you called them friends because each one told you to call them so, you exchanged numbers with them and some of them even invited you to their work place.

New friends.

When seeing them leaving one by one, you walked to the living room and grabbed your bag ready to leave as well when Jungkook stopped you.

" I thought you'll be staying here!" The man said, looking confused.

You flashed a guilty smile " It's okay, I really think I should go home!"

" Why, Do you have something to do tomorrow or something ? " Jungkook walked toward you " It's late already, the guest room is empty so why don't you just stay and tomorrow morning I will drive you back!"

You looked down nervous, staying home alone with him is a thing but staying the night here is another, even if he is your legal he is still a stranger and plus, his friend is staying too.

What would you be if you slept in the same house with two strangers ?

True, You agreed being their friend, but it's too early to give your whole trust to them, right ?

Jungkook stayed silent waiting for your answer, he didn't want to force you so he was about to say that he'll drive you now when you nodded your head.

" O-Okay, I guess there's no harm in staying..." You smiled.

" Alright, You know where the bathroom and the kitchen are, and if you need something I will be in my room " Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck and looked around nervously " Ahhh I guess that's it.."

" Yeah thanks, Good night! " You thanked him before walking toward the room.

you lay in the comfortable bed after turning the lights off, staring at the ceiling with an empty mind yet many thoughts were fighting inside you, you believe the more you think about it the more depressed you'll become, Tomorrow you'll figure things out, Those words always help you sleep but they didn't help today, maybe because you aren't in your bed? but this one is more comfortable.....

You let out a sigh then took your phone from the nightstand, You haven't checked it from the moment you entered the house.

" Oh it's almost 3 ...." You put the phone down right away, you were tired and the least thing you deserve now is a good sleep.

-

But of course you couldn't sleep, Why ? Because the bad dreams kept waking you up,mixed and weird scenes from the movie you watched earlier were invading your dreamland as every other time you watch a horror movie, It's not like you get scared from them but your mind doesn't seem to want to forget what happened in the movies and keep reminding you to imagine a ghost in the ceiling staring at you or a monster behind you which was bothering you.

Knowing that you won't be able to sleep like this you stood up from the bed and walked slowly to the living room, Always when you have this bad dreams you watch some cartoon or something funny in TV to distracted your mind, You sighed and sat in the couch and turn the TV on quietly afraid that you might wake up the boys, you searched for Disney channel and smiled when Vampirina was on, You were watching carefully and didn't noticed the man standing behind you leaning against the wall confused.

" Y/N ..." Jungkook called your name and you almost jumped because of the sudden fruity voice before turning around to see him, he laughed " I scared you ? "

" Y-Yes..." You laughed and watched him walking toward you, he sat next to you in the couch and looked at the TV.

" Is this a habit or something ? Watching Disney in the middle of the night ? " Jungkook's raspy voice made your heart skip two beats over the fact that he sounds so sexy, He was obviously sleeping according how his hair was messed up making him look cute, not matching his voice at all.

Noticing that you were staring at him you looked away immediately, blushing. " Nah, I am just having a..... a h-horror Movie Hangover." You said under your breath " Sorry seems like I woke you up ? "

Jungkook's forehead crinkled in confusion and he tip his head to the side " Huh? Horro Movie Hangover? what's that?" Jungkook stared

Your body's heat went to the max now from embarrassment, You brought up your feet into the couch near you hugging your knees then " Yeah..." You nodded " I am a bit embarrassed to actually confess b-but every time I watch a horror movie.......... I get so many b-bad dreams that night which bothers me and woke me up every hour probably..." You laughed awkwardly and looked away nervously, but couldn't hid the red glow that came over your face.

" But I thought you said you don't get scared ? " The man couldn't hide the chuckle after hearing your words, right now you were the cutest thing he ever lay his eyes on.

" I don't." You immediately protest and glared at his face " I j-just..... m-my mind can't stop imagining stuff...y-yeah that's w-what happen." You sighed

" So you call it a hangover " Jungkook scrunched his face before letting out a cute laugh making you smile and forget about how embarrassed you were.

" Yeah it's like a side effect .." You nodded " B-but........ Please don't tell anybody, It's embarrassing."

" I think it's cute." Jungkook said huskily in his sexy Busan accent while looking into your eye.

Your face turned into a embarrassing reddish hue as you looked his black eyes drilling into yours. you couldn't help but think - you'd never seen such dark eyes with so much light in them. For some reason you couldn't look away and so does Jungkook.

Another different thing, Her eyes. Jungkook thought, Yuju's eyes were pure brown and he could easily know what she is thinking or feeling but Now, Staring into your eyes, He was shocked to say he found nothing inside. Nothing. It was like, looking inside a depth of ever-ending darkness combined with a large amount of charcoal being thrown at your rosy red cheeks. he blinked, attempting to think this was a small side effect of him being not fully awake, but nothing changed. Your eyes were black. Pure black. he expected to see brown, gray or hazel, but instead he saw a small black ocean just waiting for him to jump in. He cough.

" Hmm so what do you do when this happen ? " He throw away every thoughts and asked.

Red leaked into your cheeks as you nervously smiled and bit your lip. " I watch this...." You pointed to the TV " I try to distract my mind from those thoughts by watching something far away from everything bad "

Jungkook followed your gaze to the cartoon that was playing and smiled " I see."

You two stayed quiet for few minutes before you turn to him " You can go back to sleep, Sorry to wake you up." you shyly said

He shook his head " You didn't wake me up, My phone rang then I saw the light so i came to check..." he said then messed his hair probably to fix it but he just gave up when it didn't seem to work, Jungkook sighed then lay his head to the back looking up to the ceiling " Yuju keeps on sending me messages but I don't know what to do...." The man spoke what he was hiding from everybody for the past week, he suddenly felt the needs to tell you probably because from everyone around him you were the one who can relate the most.

"Oh!" You nodded slowly knowing exactly how he feels since Mark sent more than 50 text by now, You in your case.... Mark cheated so it's easily to say you're angry with him and probably will never forgive him but in Jungkook's case, as far as you know they love each other and she only left to protect him.

" She knew about our wedding....... " Jungkook added and you listened " I just..... I just don't know if I am ready to face everything or not yet..."

" I know how you feel." You whispered before looking at him, he was still looking at up when you mumbled a question, easy one but didn't feel right....." Do you still love her ? "

You, Yourself didn't know what you were feeling right now, You thought you love Mark but noway in hell you'd go back to him now..... and it's only been a week, Does love disappear in a week ?

Jungkook turned to look at you again when hearing the question you just say, before answering he looked at you carefully " O-of course, If I wouldn't why would I want to get married to her?"

You nodded understanding, His answer felt wrong to you same as the question " Well, I think you probably should talk to her...." You looked down at your fingers and imagined if you were in her shoes, you probably won't give up on him, right?

" You think so ? " Jungkook asked again

" Yes." You nodded " Maybe she made a mistake but if you two love each other you'll figure things out, right ?" You painfully smiled at him suddenly feeling jealous from the relationship they have, for two years you thought you had the perfect one, with a handsome and nice man like Mark but.... It were all lies you are aware of it now.

Jungkook noticed how you were playing with your fingers nervously " Does he text you too ?"

" Hum?" you were surprised with his answer but kinda was expected, you bite your lip and nodded " But I only read one or two..... I delete them as soon as he sent them."

" Oh." Jungkook nodded understanding "You haven't talk to him since the wedding day ? "

" Y-Yes, I don't think there's anything we talk about." You sighed before looking at Jungkook again " Ahh I remembered, Yoongi asked who was Mark earlier, Don't they know ? "

Jungkook shook his head " It wasn't my story to tell, only you can tell them if you want..."

You looked at him surprised first but then smiled softly " You're really a good person, Jungkook sshi.."

Jungkook stood up and looked down at you " Not everyone knows me the way you do, some people know me better to say a good person is far from being near my name."

With those words, he left, you just looked at the hallway he went from confused and not understanding what he meant. but you sure know you won't forget the tone he used, it was a serious and sold, like he didn't want anymore conversation after it.

-

Not even a minute, Jungkook came back with a blanket in his hands, you watched as he sat next to you and covered your body with the soft red blanket " Wouldn't your horror movie hangover end fast with a person in the room with you ?" his smiled was back.

Feeling as if his smile was controlling you, you immediately nodded still looking at him and watching the way he lay back closing his eyes, his hands crossed against his chest while the red blanket only cover his right thigh since he left a comfortable distance between the two of you.

After staring at him for a while, you didn't know how you fall asleep nor know the position you fall asleep in.

The next morning

--

Jimin woke up at 7am to get ready for work, The man blinked his eyes and looked around the room wondering where his younger friend is.

The man walked out the room to the bathroom, the kitchen and then the living room only to lean against the wall with a grin on his face, here was his friend sleeping in the couch......... well, he wasn't alone.

Your head were leaning against his shoulder while both of you hide under one blanket, and Jungkook's hand holding yours in a protective way, both in a deep sleep, Jimin's smile disappeared when he thought of Yuju suddenly, the girl was his friend and he know the behind the scenes things that happen to her and Jungkook, he knew Jungkook still love her and he knew you are a nice girl........ So, the best thing of all is not getting involved.

Jimin walked slowly toward the two of you and held your head carefully moving it from Jungkook's shoulder before shaking his friend to wake him up.

" Hey, Jungkook ah..." he whispered.

Jungkook opened his eyes and looked around " What happened ? "

Jimin shook his head " Nothing, I just woke you up to go and sleep in your room, Y/N will probably feel uncomfortable id she woke up beside you....."

Jungkook looked to his right to see you sleeping peacefully while hugging the red blanket to your chest,the looked at his hand that was now sweaty from being held into yours, the flashbacks from earlier seem to be repeating in front of his eyes, the way you fell asleep few minutes after he pretended to be sleeping, he still remember how after more minutes your face showed disturbance which he immediately knew the reason why, as if his Instincts knew what to do he grabbed your hand gently, and that was the end of your disturbed face.

With another call from Jimin, Jungkook thought for a second then stood up slowly letting go of your hand, nodding to his friend, the man walked away" You're right..."

Jimin followed Jungkook to his room and closed the door behind him " What happened man?"

Jungkook didn't look at his friend, he just sighed and took off his shirt next to the closet " Nothing important" Jungkook said, taking a pair of new clothes in his hand.

" What do you mean nothing important when you were literally cuddling with her back there, dude." Jimin's face showed concern as he looked at Jungkook carefully.

" I was not cuddling " The younger man rolled his eyes " Plus, What if I was cuddling with her, isn't she my wife ? " Jungkook smirked after taking a clean towel from the closet.

" You know what I mean idiot." Now it was Jimin's turn to roll his eyes when Jungkook ignored him and walked to the shower mumbling the word 'I know'

Jungkook stepped into the shower, toes flinching as they touched the chilled ceramic floor. He turned the dial, releasing thousands of lukewarm drops, darkening his hair and trickled down his back. Jungkook's eyes fell closed over and over as his mind fades into dullness and everything is a foggy illusion. The sensation of the steamy water calms him; it takes his mind of things, Every time it works but today..... He couldn't stop thinking, thinking about everything he told you, everything he listened from you and everything he knew about you.

Jungkook looked up closing his eyes, feeling the water dripping down his hair softly, And the drops slowly made their way to his body and the perfect abs he had. The water defined his well, organized and obviously worked out body. " So that's the reason." He clenched jaw feeling hot and it was not from the shower, he was angry.

----------

You wake as if it's an emergency, as if sleeping had become a dangerous thing. Your heart beats fast and there is a buzzing in your brain and together they are as panic with jump-leads. You looked around you surprised first but then your memories came back, Slowly and reluctantly, you uncover your face. You blink, close your eyes, and blink again. Streaks of sunlight penetrate the window and blind you. You sit up, drag your feet off the couch, and rub your knuckles onto your eyes. you stretch your arms above your head and yawn.

" Good morning." A voice said behind you, When you turned you saw it was Jimin.

" G-good morning." You smiled shyly and fixed your hair.

" It's brave leaving the comfortable bed there and sleep in the couch, Your back isn't hurting ? " Jimin asked checking you out a bit.

You waved your hand a No and laughed " Nah, I am used to sleep in the Hospital couch so.... I am fine."

Jimin nodded and smiled with you " Well, Jungkook is making breakfast let's wish it's eatable "

" Oh....." You smiled " I w-will help him then." you slowly walked to the kitchen to find Jungkook busy making pancakes while listening to the video recipe in his phone which made you laugh " Good morning."

The man turned to look at you and gently smile " Morning, Breakfast will be ready in few minute, you can wash up first.."

" D-don't you need any help ? " You blinked your eyes and yawn again.

" No It's fine, I got that " He winked and smiled making you blush, he looked so handsome as always.

yeah, better leave.

-------

After breakfast, Jungkook drove you back to your house and you run toward your building as soon as you said " Drive safe " to him.

When arriving next to your door, you were completely taken aback by the person standing in front of you " M-Mark ? "
