AN ILLUMINATING LIGHT shinned across my closed lids, drowning me up against the feeling, spreading all around me. Urging me to open them, for there was more to life then there was for me.

I tried with all my might, wanting to open my eyes, wanting to wake up but I couldn't, I remained helpless to the tunes of misery, feeling it slowly consuming me.  A heavy silence slowly fell around me. When all of a sudden I hear the heart racing sound of thunder, striking it wonder across the grey, weeping sky.

My own tears soon consumed as slowly I opened my eyes, feeling them heavy, sending a jolt of pain through my head. As if I've been struck by lightning.

Trying to calm my rapid breathing, the first thing I saw was the familiar surroundings of the infirmary room. It didn't take long for me realize that how and why I was here.

Sighing, I hastily sit up as the soft  fabric that lay on me fell to my lap as I stared at it. It, the jacket was awfully familiar.

My hands clutched the jacket, and in an instant I knew who it belonged to.

Jeon Jungkook

His scent have embraced my body like my own, as groaning I immediately stood up. Crap what time is it? Since how long have I been here?

Is it the closing hour? Cause I see no one here.

As I turned my eyes caught the sight of the small coffee can placed there with a note by it's side.

❛ I hope you're feeling better by now, drink this and  keep the jacket it's cold outside.❜

—Jk

A pure feeling of joy and sorrow melted my resistance as slowly a faint smile embraced upon lips as I brought the piece of note closer to my beating heart.

I'm sure something must be wrong with me, cause I've never been this overwhelmed by someone's action before.

But why now? Is it because it's him?

Taking the coffee can and the note in hand, I wear his jacket around me letting the sleeves to hang loosely as the jacket upon my shoulders providing me with it's warmth.

It smelled of him, no I smelled of him reaching this thought upon my mind a tint of a pink shade spread across my cheeks, making me blush furiously as I continued to walk towards the girls locker room.

It was empty no was here, so I quickly took a shower and changed into a pair of clean denim shorts paired with a plain white t-shirt.

My eyes scanned for my blazer as I couldn't find it nowhere. Sighing turning around with no choice I wore his jacket back.

Something was definitely wrong with me. How in the world I'm wearing his sweaty jacket just after taking a shower.

I must be out of my mind.

Sighing, I continued to make my way out of the girl's locker room towards the basketball court where my bag and water bottle was.

All along I could still hear the sound of rain pouring hard across the windows hitting the leaves and trees, it was that kind a sense that scared me.

All I wanted was to get home, to get out quickly as it was getting dark.  Lowering my head I pushed open the door only to be surprised it wasn't locked.

Thank God, I sighed and briskly walked in, only a dim light was on making it hard for me to see before I sense someone move, standing in the dark.

My breath abandoned me within my chest as I stood still, my eyes widened.

“Finally you're up. I thought I would die waiting.”

My blood was simmering in my veins when eyes looked up to find Jungkook standing in front of me.

“Why would you be waiting for me?”

Frowning I've asked as I walked passed him and picked up my stuff kept at the corner. I heard his foot steps that followed where ever I go, as sighing I turned to face him with my arms crossed.

“Well it's raining and you've sprained your ankle. So as a fellow human being I felt like it was my responsibility.”

He murmured, sounding nervous as his did not make an eye contact with mine.

Fellow human being? My ass.

“How many times do I have to tell you.” I stepped closer to him, my height matching his own as with my glowering eyes at the poor man I spoke bluntly,“That you do not have to take care of me I'm old enough to do so.”

His eyes hooded and took to a darker shade with dilated pupils, I was almost taken by surprise when his hand went around my waist as he pulled my body forcefully against his own.

Lowering his head he paused by my ear, his breath trickling against my skin, making chills to run down my spine.

“I don't actually care what you think. I want—”

He stopped midway when the sound of door been locked reached our ears.

My heart faltered. Immobile, I stood.—Fearing the worst panic swallowed me whole as I pushed his hard body and rushed towards the now locked door.

“Open the door we're still here.” I yelled at the top of my lungs as my sweaty hands banged against the door,“Open the fucking door you idiot.”

“There’s no point in cursing the poor janitor. He won't even hear you the walls are sound proof ring a bell you woman.”

Jungkook spoke as he walked around the court as if nothing was wrong. Whilst my gaze followed him.

He wasn't wrong either, sighing I walked and dropped my bag to the floor then crouching down I sat there with my back leaning against the cold wall.

“What are we going to do now?”

I asked dropping my face in the palms of my hand as I sense him making his way towards where I was.

“I don't know, but do you have your phone with you?”

He asked taking the space beside me as groaning with frustration I turned myself towards him,“I don't it's out of battery as I didn't charge it for two days.”

His lips tucked up, with his face dissolving into a warm sense of vulnerability as leaned against the wall with eyes closed, breathing into small gasps.

Did he have a fever?

“Yah, Jeon are you okay?”

I asked nervously poking his arm with my elbow and waited for him to reply.

“It’s raining, Aria how do except me to be fine,” he breathed out, his voice trembled as slowly he titled his head, with his eyes staring into mine.

He seemed to be in so much pain.

However in my momentarily fear, my eyes darted back to his. Hypnotized by their dominating content I swallowed, and swallowed again.

As then my mind slowly recalled the old memories of back in the days, Jungkook he as phobia, he's scared of thunder.

“How could I forget, it's same as Alex’s.”

I spoke, as slowly my hand reached his with a little touch of hesitation I grasped it.

Just then the sound of thunder storm roared against the pavements as shivering Jungkook shut his eyes, now breathing harshly.

When it calmed he slowly opened his eyes and mumbled something that I've may have never thought he would say.

“I know how much you love Alex, and I'm sorry for whatever happened three years ago,” his hand moved in the hold of mine as he straightened up with his eyes still closed,“But I do wish you hear my side of the story too.”

I swallowed and stared ahead at the dim light, as I sense him trembling in results of how hard the thunder roared.

“I do want to, but I don't know how to” I want to believe in you, I really want but I'm just afraid—” I stopped abruptly as he drew back his hand, and turned briskly towards me, his whole body leaning against my shoulder, his eyes burning into mine.

“Afraid....of what, Aria?” He asked as felt his warm and hot breath fanning against my skin.

Jungkook is still staring down at me, an urgent look in his eyes, emitting ragged little gasps he beggins to shiver.

I can't tell him, I just can't I'm just afraid of these new emotions building up inside my heart. I'm afraid to let them out. To admit it to the world.

“Aria,” He breathed out as my face hastily t  towards him, staring into his brown autumn eyes I shivered at the close proximity of our bodies, my breath shuddered, my heart abandoned me when he brought his hand to my face.

I felt desperate, angry but even more excited.

When he kept his eyes open and lowers his face towards mine, lips brushing against my nose, then to my cheeks then slowly making their way towards my mouth. He kisses me gently, very gently, breathing hard now.

“Afraid of this.”

I breathed out slowly feeling my heart racing loudly. The world around me numbing, all thoughts disappeared out of my mind feeling his lips press dangerously against mine, his strong hands slowly cupping my cheeks.

The taste of him, the smell of him, was intoxicating like a drug surging through my veins. He deepened the kiss without releasing it, one hand slipping down to my back lifting me up, to press me closer.

“I am afraid too, but never of the way I feel for you.”

And that's when I lost as my arms went around his neck and I pulled him closer, my body strangled on his lap.  His kiss all consuming as I met his eyes eagerly reveling in the frantic hunger, I could taste in his kiss. As doubtful his words have been, his lips were confident and firm.

Like he craved for me, as much I craved for him.

“You smell of me,” He groaned against my mouth, as grinning I stared at him.

“It’s because I'm wearing your jacket, idiot.”

His hand migrated to my back and  tightened until I could feel his large body trembling with the intensity of his emotions.
