JUNGKOOK'S POV
I just couldn't sleep.
I had been tossing and turning on my bed for hours on end but for some reason, I couldn't stop my mind from racing. I felt so uneasy.
Meera noona had seemed really very troubled and anxious when she had come for the lesson. She was being very vague when I asked her about her health. Is she going to avoid me now? What was she planning?
I flung my blanket off and looked at the clock. '11:00 P.M.', it read. It didn't seem like I was going to be getting any sleep any time soon and so I opened the curtains of the window and gazed out. It was pitch dark outside. An owl hooted somewhere in the distance. I sighed and stretched myself. I needed to settle things with noona.
Maybe no? Maybe I'll just watch her from afar. Because I'm sure I won't be able to sleep peacefully till I know why she was acting strange.
The corridor would be a risky path to take because of Yoongi hyung so without another thought, I decided to take the less risky way by jumping out the window.
The moment I reached the ground, I ran, jumped across the wall and hailed a cab. I repeated the address that I had seen on her resume and was soon outside her flat.
But the rustle of leaves caught my attention and I looked back. I couldn't spot anyone or anything that could have possibly made that sound. I walked a little distance further, and there it was again. The sound of someone walking behind me. But when I turned, there was no one in sight.
Strange..Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me! I'm just being paranoid.
I stood near the gates and looked at the different windows of the small building. Does she really live here? I looked around the neighbourhood and it was definitely scary. Even a little sound made me jump at my place.
I leaned against the wall and waited for some time before stepping inside the building. It was creepy to stand alone in a deserted area.
And so I walked to her door, rang the doorbell and waited for her. Soon I heard footsteps. The door opened and I saw her. She looked like she had just woken up, her hair all disheveled and messy.
But I couldn't deny the fact that she still looked really beautiful. She looked horror struck on seeing me. Her face grew pale all of a sudden and she bit her lip nervously.
"Wh-what are you doing here?"
I gulped and looked down feeling embarrassed. I shouldn't be here. This was not the part of my plan. I screwed up.
"I don't know..."
MEERA'S POV
Jungkook was in my house. A demon was in my house! At 11:30 p.m! I should have looked through the hole to see who it was.
I couldn't just push him out. And he was already sitting on my mattress as his doe eyes looked around the small room like a scared and lost kid at amusement park. But then I heard my phone buzz with a text message. It was from Yoongi.
Yoongi: Don't worry about Jungkook. I am right outside. Act normal.
I felt a lot better after reading the message but I was still nervous. I tried my best to mask it.
"T-tea?" If he were a human I would've asked him that. Yes Meera. You're doing great.
"Do you have banana milk? It's okay if you don't have that I'll have water then." He shook his hands in front of him as if he said something wrong. He then gulped and looked away when I didn't say anything.
"I have chocolate milk. Is that okay?"
He nodded. I made myself a cup of coffee and took the beverages to the mattress where he was. I ended up sitting next to him as we faced the window and looked outside.
"I'm sorry noona. I don't know why I came here." He still didn't raise his head up and I was glad for that. I didn't want him to see me scared. It was quite difficult to be calm and collected.
"Does anyone know?"
He hesitantly shook his head. "It's my first time sneaking out. I'll be grounded if my father knows about it." He pouted and for a second I forgot that he was a demon.
Jungkook did not have the aura of a demon. He was a shy and simple boy. If not for that incident I would've never figured out his real identity.
"I won't tell anyone." I smiled a little at him and he smiled back. He was probably scared of being caught.
"Thank you noona."
We stayed like that for some time. It was peaceful and the fear in my heart was slowly fading away. He looked harmless.
"Noona?" I hummed in response and sipped my coffee. He played with his fingers in nervousness.
"Why did you agree to tutor me?"
"Umm...", I moved to a comfortable position and turned to my side to face him properly, "I needed money. Your father promised to pay me well."
Jungkook nodded slowly, understanding my point of view. "Is it hard to teach me?"
"Not at all. You listen to me and do your homework on time. You're a good student." I gave him a big smile. It was all true.
"But I'm a slow learner. Aren't you frustrated?"
"That's my work Jungkook. Just because you are a slow learner doesn't mean that you are a bad student. You are taking your time and it's okay. I'm here to help you with your studies."
I sipped my coffee as he flashed me a bunny smile. He looked happier now. The lost look from his eyes was long gone. His eyes shone with brightness as his cheeks turned pink.
"Thank you noona. It really means a lot to me. From now on I'll work harder and make you and my father proud."
Without realising my hand went to ruffle his soft brown locks. He froze at my touch and I quickly withdrew my hand.
"I'm sorry I didn't..."
He passed me a small smile and picked up the small plastic bottle to finish his chocolate milk. After finishing it he stood up and I followed him to the door which was a few steps away.
We stood at my doorstep. We simply looked at each other searching for some good words to say to each other. Was it necessary? I didn't know.
"Goodnight noona."
Seeing him all relaxed and calm somehow made me feel better about the whole situation. It was awkward and difficult for me in the morning but now it's manageable.
"Goodnight Jungkook." I closed the door when he left. I let out a big sigh and went to lay on my mattress. My phone buzzed again catching my attention.
KimTaehyung: let's meet tomorrow. I'll pick you up at 2.
