Chapter 39- The Maze Runner

Jungkook pulled out his lips away from mine and dragged me to the upper surface with him. As I felt the cold air around me, I started breathing heavily, trying to over come the stun.

His hands were still on my waist, supporting me to stand up properly. Our clothes were soaked from water. I forgot to take my hands off his body even I could stand up properly. Jungkook's arms went around my abdomen, unwrapping the wet bandage. He talked to me like nothing special had happened.

"I'll give you some private time, call me when you are done. The shampoo is right here," He took one of my hands and  guided it to the shampoo bottle. He acted causally like he didn't do anything weird. Yah! he ruined my brain cells and now he's leaving just like that? I'm speechless.

"Ju-"

"I'll bring you a towel and some clothes you can wear," The water splattered making the sound echo through the place as he got off the pool. The foot steps faded as he walked away , distancing from me.

That really didn't happen right?

I took a deep breath and relaxed my brain. I leaned my body against an edge, acquiescing the sensation given my the cold water. I was lost with my thoughts, all alone,

Did that really happen?

He kept confusing me. All this time, before I was exposed, he knew me as a boy. And why all of a sudden he acted like this? I suddenly gasped as a sudden cognisance that made my startled.

Maybe,

I combed my hair backwards from my palm with disbelief growing inside me. I was incredulity staring at nowhere with my blind eyes. Is that the reason? Is that the reason he was like that?

Did he knew that I was a girl?

With that thought, I suddenly had a flashback of the moment they discovered me as a girl. He said it,

" JIMIN HYUNG NO-"  

He tried to stop Jimin at that moment. When others were surprised by the divulge of the fact me being a girl, he wasn't surprised, he was flurried and anxious. I can remember his face, it was rather filled with nervous than confusion like others. The puzzle was getting together as I collected all parts.

He knew it, He knew that  I was a girl, that must be the reason he was acting strange around me lately. But when did he discovered the truth?

I tried to focus on cleaning myself without getting hurt, keeping a pause for my thoughts for a while. Because of getting anxious and careless, I accidentally shot my eyes with the shampoo, making my eyes start stinging like hell. It's already damaged and I'm making it even worse. After some messy business, I was able to clean myself. It was kinda difficult to do it all with keeping the clothes on my body, but I didn't dare to remove them.

I finally finished cleaning myself up.

I moved my arms to find away to get off the pool. I felt a hand gripping mine. I know his touch too well, Was he watching me all this time? I shrugged off my thoughts as he talked to me.

"Done?" he pulled me up as I nodded to his query. I clutched him tightly cause I couldn't see anything. He slowly walked me away from the pool. I was bit hesitating to walk forward cause I was scared from inside since I was visually impaired. As the dry floor touched my toes, I understood that we were somewhere else.

I was shivering because of the breeze that gently kissed my body, but I liked the feeling. The freshness made me reborn again. I wrapped my arms around myself to stop shivering. "Here you go," I felt a fluffy towel covering my shoulders.

Wiping off the moisture of my skin, I wrapped the big towel around me and took off the wet clothes. The clothes were so heavy because of absorbing all the water. It was kind of impossible for me to do it all alone. Jungkook helped me to get them off and change into warm dry clothes. He is doing everything mildly,

He took a towel and started drying my hair. His hands ruffled my wet hair without hurting me. I stared blankly at nowhere and talked to him,

"When did you figure it out?" I blinked as usual, my eyes were opened as usual even everything I saw was pitch black. Still, I tried to look at his face,

"Figured out what?"

"That I'm a girl, you knew it before that happened, didn't you? " he stopped what he was doing with my question. I didn't stop talking, "Or else why would you try to stop Jimin that day? You knew it," he heaved a soft sigh.

"Yes I did," I gulped with his confess. "When did you realised the truth?" I nervously interrogated him.

"The night before we went on our first mission together, the day we took drugs," he answered in a defeated tone.

That explains everything, the way he acted that day, the way he stared at me, what he said. They all made sense to me now,

"So that's what you meant that day by you understood it, " he hummed in response and started explaining more, 

"I was noticing some differences on you than others. You were getting uncomfortable whenever one of us was too close to you," I bit my lip as he was explaining, "You avoided skinship from others. You always kept your door locked while you were living with us. And I did notice that your heartbeat was racing fast  when I was that close to you," he started saying all the hints I was dropping. Damn, I was right in one thing. He really did hear my heartbeat. He continued,

"When we were practising guns that day, I felt weird while holding you. Your shoulders, arms...unlike men, they were no muscles or broad. You quickly reacted when my hands accidentally touched your chest even" I remembered how I startled when I felt his hand touching me while teaching me to position myself. Damn, "That was the first time I got the crazy idea that maybe you are a girl," so that's why he was acting strange and giving me weird looks that day,

"You are even smaller than Jimin hyung. It feels like holding a small kid,"

I felt a sudden embarrassment recalling the lame excuses I made. I said that I'm a late bloomer. Why do I always embarrass myself in front of him? I mentally slapped myself biting my lower lip as he talked,

"I tried to ignore the odd feeling I got. But day by day my doubts were growing. The way you act, you behave, everything was leading me to one thing. I couldn't stop thinking that you were more like a girl than a boy,"God, he was really keeping an eye on me. I didn't know Jeon Jungkook was always watching me like that.

"That night, when you suddenly slapped me, I knew you were a girl. You just confirmed that my guess was right. And well, about that man we met that day, Yes, he's right, he never fails to recognise a woman," I was right, he heard what that man whispered to me that day. It looks like it didn't make him a detective to figure that out. Smart. From every single move, it was being obvious that I was a girl to his keen eyes. This must be the reason he was avoiding me, cause he knew my secret,

He again paid attention to drying my hair, ruffling the towel bit faster than earlier.

When he saved me from the mad man, when we went to the Bang mansion, all the time he knew it. One question was  remaining in my head. Why did Jungkook kept it as a secret without exposing it?

"Why didn't you tell the others? You could've easily handed me over to them," I asked him with an almost fainted voice letting out a deep sigh.

"Because I knew you were here to find something. It wasn't a coincidence, was it? Running into us?" I quietly listened to him. He inhaled, " Why would you take so much risk if you just wanted a job? Why would you dress up like a man and came to this city? Every time I looked into your eyes it was full of desire, wanting something badly. I wanted to give you a chance because I never had a second chance in my life," his hands moved away from me, giving a pause to is talking. I started thinking about what he said, without uttering a word.

A second chance? Mafia never gives a second chance yet he gave me the opportunity he never had? Jungkook wanted me to have the opportunity to untangle things in my life.

"I didn't want another one to suffer as I did," he softly said, whispering to my ears. All the thoughts were jammed inside my head. I have lots of things to think about. We somehow survived. But what's next?

What are we going to do? Hide like this forever?

Ki sung, can I run away from him? I was a helpless beggar for my life in front of my cruel fate. It made me meet all these inhuman devils and bonded me with them with not the soul but blood.

Why does he have to be my uncle? That Asshole Hyuk, That makes him my brother doesn't it...

That freak destroyed my whole life. But what can I do? Only cry and scream from inside. Still, the world wouldn't hear my pain. I'll end up suffocating with everything. After a long silence, I talked to Jungkook.

"What time is it now?"I asked, heaving a deep sigh. I had to go through everything, one by one and for that, I had to first stable and calm my mind.

"It's the evening," He answered me. I had to ease my restless mind. I was physically healing my injuries, but still, there was a big wound inside my soul. I had to treat that wound as well, bringing back the strength that had washed away from me.

"Can we take a walk? To somewhere calm?A place that'll calm down my mind?" Jungkook slowly lingered his hand to mine, folding my hand inside his.

" Let's go," Without knowing what's ahead, I walked. The fear of walking without knowing a thing didn't bother me or scare me. Because I trust him,

I know he won't let go of me.
