Chapter 24
Jungkook's P.O.V.
Again, I and Lisa were assigned a project by our jerk of a teacher, and this time I agreed to go to her house. So here I am sitting inside her house, in her living room. And the second I stepped inside her house, there has been raining since then.
I can't go home like this.
But I didn't mind as long as I got to spend time with her. There was an awkward silence between us and I didn't know how to break it. We were both sitting on the same couch but she was sitting at the end of it.
Before reaching her house, she told me that I'm the first person who's ever going to visit her house besides her relatives, obviously. I was really shocked to hear that.
Ain't I lucky?
I don't know but I felt happy after hearing this because I don't think I would like to hear that there was some boy who visited her house before me while she smiled so brightly in front of him. I quickly shook my head to get rid of my thoughts.
God! I sound jea–
No, no no! I'm just overthinking.
I looked at her and she was awfully quiet and it doesn't settle well with me.
Her and quietness are the opposite poles that don't attract.
I heard the faint clatter of thunder which made Lisa shift in her seat while she kept fiddling with her fingers.
I tried to think of some ideas to start a conversation.
"Where are your parents?" I broke the silence, she looked at me then replied, "Out of the city for some business matters."
"So you live here alone?" I frowned and she nodded, "Yeah, mostly." My frown deepened. Don't get me wrong but do her parents know how her daughter is an innocent little beam which just makes you want to protect her.
I sighed, I shouldn't think too much. I looked around to find something interesting but there wasn't anything, not even some pics of her school life, and the type of girl Lisa is, she would definitely have them.
"How was your old school like?" I was curious but kept a blank face. "I didn't go to any school."
WHAT?!
Seeing my shocked expression, she answered, "I was homeschooled."
Woah! No wonder she is like this.
"But why high school now?" She sighed, "I begged my parents to at least let me attend high school, I didn't want to be locked inside my house all the time, that's why I wasn't allowed to go outside unless one of them came with me but now when they saw that I could take care of myself, they let me go outside alone."
Woah!
I'm still trying to digest the news that broke at me. I just nodded at her, still a bit shocked after hearing all of this.
After a while it became silent again and I felt really awkward, I thought she would continue talking but she didn't even utter a single word after that.
I can't go home because it was raining harder than before and I don't have to worry about the project because it was next week so we had plenty of time.
Again, I tried to think of an idea to start a conversation. It felt weird how she always initiates a conversation while I just boringly listen but now the tables have turned.
I pointed towards a picture and just as I was about to speak, I was abruptly cut off by a loud clap of thunder and a scream that followed after, which seem to came from Lisa. After the ear-piercing scream, she jumped from one end of the couch to the other while wrapping her arms around me, tightly.
What the.....?
I froze at her action and it took me a while to process everything.
She's afraid of thunder.
I heard sniffles and that's when I broke out of my trance. "Are you ok?" I carefully asked, I tried to make my voice as soft as possible, afraid to hurt or scare her even more. She didn't reply, just kept hugging me.
I'm not good with this hug thing, I never comforted anyone in my life, heck not even my Hyungs, whenever they cried it was always awkward for me. But now seeing her cry hurts me.
I slowly wrapped my arms around her and it was the first time I ever properly hugged someone back. I wasn't good at comforting but I'm trying, just for her.
There was another clap of thunder, her body jolted then a whimper left her mouth and it seriously broke my heart. I tightened my arms around her and whispered, "Shhh, It's okay. I've got you."
I placed her one ear against my chest and placed my free hand on her against her other ear, so she doesn't have to hear the sound of thunder. We stayed like this for a while
Didn't know that hugging someone will feel this content.
And especially her in my arms and the way, she fits perfectly in them was something I can't describe in words.
I don't want this moment to end.
I don't know why I'm acting like this. If it was the old me, I would've thought that I've gone crazy but now I seriously don't care. Just her being in my arms made the void in my heart was filled.
I think it's been half an hour and we were still like this. Her sniffles have died down but she didn't let go of me. Honestly, I didn't want to either. I looked down at her to check if she's alright, only to found her asleep. I didn't realize that my lips curled upward a bit. I don't want to wake her.
She looks so peaceful.
I didn't have the heart to. I didn't realize that I was staring at her like a creep.
Get a hang of yourself!
Thankfully, the thunder has stopped. I remove my hand from her ear and wrap it under her knees, tightening my hold against her back, I carefully stood up with her in my arms, trying really hard not to wake her up.
She's so lightweighted.
I slowly walked up to her room, trying to cherish every moment of her in my arms. She gave me a tour of her house when we arrived, so I know where her room is.
I carefully opened the door of her room then entered the room and carefully shut it with my foot, trying not to make any noise. I carefully placed her on the bed and tucked her inside the blanket. I sat beside her and moved bangs away so I could get a clear view of her face. She stirred a bit and I froze.
I looked around her room and it was a very girly room.
Just as I expected.
I looked outside the window and it seems that the rain has stopped, I sighed then looked at her.
Should I stay or not?
