High school bodyguard

I had a dream. The day I went to the amusement park with Jeon Jungkook on our first date and the day we went to the beach, which ended up being our last, overlapped. We looked happier than anyone else that day, so I naturally raised the corners of my mouth as I watched the scene in my dream. Just witnessing that moment made me so happy I didn't want to wake up. Then, I heard a faint voice calling my name. At first, I covered my ears. Gradually, as the voice became clear enough to distinguish its source, I woke up from the dream.
My tightly shut eyelids fluttered open, and a beige ceiling came into view. A man's hand appeared on the white blanket covering my body. Frowning, I checked to see who it was. It was Jeon Jungkook, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt and sweatpants.
“Are you stupid, really?”
Jeon Jungkook looked down at me with a pitiful expression and asked if I was stupid, but his eyes were still the same longing gaze he had once gazed at me with. I sat up and turned my head away from Jeon Jungkook.
“Kim Yeo-ju, aren’t you going to look at me?”
“……”
“Huh? Lady-.”
The voice of Jeon Jungkook asking if I really wasn't going to see him, the voice calling my name, was unnecessarily too affectionate.I really hate you.Still avoiding Jeon Jungkook's gaze, he muttered only that he was disgusted. Then, Jeon Jungkook's breathless laughter was heard.You think this is funny right now?!The head that had been turned in anger turned back to Jeon Jungkook.
"how have you been doing?"
“… You really!”
“Did I ask too late?”
Wow. You said that earlier…Jeon Jungkook finally began to tell me, one by one, the things I'd been wanting to hear on the playground earlier. He did so with his signature gentle voice, his tone of voice, and his wistful expression. Having finally shaken off the resentment I'd felt earlier, Jeon Jungkook made my heart flutter again.
“You heard what I was like without you.”
“Why did you act like that, when I just said something.”
“…It was because of you. Because it was Jeon Jungkook.”
I looked at Jeon Jungkook, recalling the angry words I'd shouted at him just two hours ago. Hearing my words, Jeon Jungkook's expression changed subtly. A little bitter? Sad? It was somewhere in between. The area around my eyes turned bright red as I told him it was because of you.
Jeon Jungkook moved a little closer and hugged me. His arms wrapped around me, his hands brushing my back and the back of my head. The warmth I hadn't felt in ages made tears fall. I sobbed silently, shaking my shoulders, while Jeon Jungkook continued to stroke the back of my head without saying a word.
“Kim Yeo-ju.”
"… huh."
“You said that earlier, that you weren’t precious enough to leave in an instant.”
“……”
“As you can see, I have nothing, and you are the only thing that is precious to me.”
Jeon Jungkook's arms tightened as he held me. His voice trembled slightly, and he buried his face in my shoulder. Even when we were intimate, he never trembled like this, but for the first time, he was trembling in front of me.Jeon Jungkook… why are you shaking like this…?
“You were so precious to me, so precious to me, that I had no choice but to leave…”
It was Jeon Jungkook, his body shaking and he began to sob. In all the days I'd spent with him, not a single moment had he shed tears. I'd always thought he was strong. I felt like nothing could scare him. And now, here he was, leaning on my shoulder, shedding tears.Jungkook…All I could do was hug him tightly.
I hugged Jeon Jungkook and patted his back instead of comforting him every time. Jeon Jungkook lifted his head from his crying and stared at me, tears still streaming down his face.
“Can I kiss you…?”
Jeon Jungkook, who asked if he could kiss me while shedding a tear, immediately nodded with a raised lip because he was so damn pretty. Then, Jeon Jungkook's hand went around the back of my neck and our lips met, and I automatically closed my eyes at the passionate kiss I hadn't felt in a long time.
When I opened my eyes, which had been closed several times after locking and unlocking our lips, I could picture myself catching my breath, my cheeks flushed red from the kiss.
After the kiss, the two of us sat side by side against the wall, leaning back and holding hands, as if trying to make up for the few days we hadn't seen each other. No words were exchanged, but Jeon Jungkook and I were both smiling, as if we understood each other without needing to say a word.Ah, Jeon Jungkook. I have a question.
“What is it?”
“When I looked for you earlier, you said you were a freshman, not a third-year student… You’re the same age as me. But why are you a freshman?”
“Um… This might be a bit long, is that okay?”
“Yeah, that’s okay. I want to know everything about you.”
That's how I learned everything about Jeon Jungkook, from his past to his present. The fact that he was an orphan, that he worked all kinds of jobs to earn money after leaving the orphanage, and that he barely made it to high school at the age of nineteen because he was too busy working. Finally, all my questions about Jeon Jungkook were answered.
“Then this attic too…”
“I barely managed to get by with the money I saved up for a year. Even the rent.”
“…I think I understand now why you pushed me away in the first place.”
I didn't know Jeon Jungkook's situation would be this bad, so I was ashamed of how lightly I had thought back then. Now I understood Jeon Jungkook's firm words to stop talking nonsense. He didn't want me to be dragged into this situation. That's why he pushed me away, telling me to find someone I liked. My dad knew too... that's why he was so angry.
“Kim Yeo-ju, do you want to go outside?”
"huh…!"
Jeon Jungkook draped one of his coats over me and creaked open the rooftop door. We stepped outside and looked up at the sky, which had already darkened. Stars were dotted across the sky, twinkling, and below, the lights of the buildings shone brightly.Wow… so pretty!He smiled brightly as the breeze blew gently.
“You are prettier.”
"What the hell are you talking about! You keep telling lies while I'm not looking..."
“Huh? It’s not a lie, is it?”
Jeon Jungkook and I stood side by side and laughed heartily. After looking at each other for a while and laughing, I shook my head when Jeon Jungkook reached out his hand and offered to take me home.No. I'm not going... I want to stay here with you.When I pout, Jeon Jungkook grabs my hand.
"I'm not going anywhere now. No, I can't go. So, let's go home in peace. Don't worry about the chairman."
“… Really?”
“Yeah, I realized I’d die without you, so where are you going?”
"I'll come every day. I'll come right after school."
“Then I’ll wait until you come.”
Jeon Jungkook smiled sweetly and said he'd be waiting for me. Still feeling uneasy, I held his hand tightly as we headed home. Even as we rode in the taxi together, we held hands tightly and didn't let go.
There were a lot of comments about Jungkook's age in the last episode, so please refer to Ep. 28! I really like those comments. I love any comments😆 Thank you for watching today too💗
