It's Complicated?

Rest

The class ends soon and the other students leave the class one by one, submitting their work to Jimin. I stay seated in my chair, planning to leave at last.

Jungkook stays by my side until the class gets empty and him, Jimin and I are the only ones in the class. He gets up only when Jimin arches one brow, silently asking why he has stayed here.

He sighs loudly, trying to grant Jimin his daily dose of annoyance, and turns to me to wink one last time and gets out of the classroom.

I can't help but chuckle at his behaviour.

"Come, let's get going." Jimin urges me to follow him and I do just that. I don't talk to him or try to give him any excuses as to why I had fallen asleep in his class.

When we reach his office, he again traps me in between himself and the door, just like the day before when he revealed that he was my soul mate.

But, this time he looks at me in concern. He puts the hair strands that had escaped from my ponytail behind my ears and gently cups my cheek.

"Does it hurt a lot?" He asks softly. A warm feeling spreads inside my chest as he asks that. His caring tone erasing my worries about upsetting him.

All this while I was scared that he would scold me because I had fallen asleep, but it turns out he has noticed my sudden weakness and is just worried.

"No, I'm quite used to it. I just need to rest a little." I answer him, smiling so he doesn't worry much.

His hand leaves my cheek and I suddenly don't feel as good.

"Okay, then I'll tell your Arts teacher about why you're absent and ask the nurse to write you a sick leave approval. Do you want to rest here or go home?" He asks leaving me shocked. I feel weak, but I'm definitely not skipping classes.

"No, I can't go home now. My mom gets really worried even when it's just period cramps. I can't let her know that I'm skipping classes, she'll be here in a second to take me to the hospital." I hurriedly let out, sighing at the end.

Ever since that one situation that had happened during my childhood, she's been like this. Always worried that something like that might happen.

"Okay, you can rest here then. I'll get you the slip from the nurse's office and ask Jungkook to give it to your Art's teacher. No arguments." Jimin insists, more like demands in his teacher like tone so I agree.

As I move towards the couch in his office to sit down, he brings me a heat pack and asks me to wait for him to finish his classes so that he can take me home after the school ends.

Immensely grateful for his care, I nod, smiling at him. He smiles back and kisses my forehead before leaving to teach his next class.

I am left blushing for a while until someone knocks at the office door.

My mind instantly thinks it is some other teacher and I start panicking. Right then, I hear Jimin speak to the person outside the door.

"Why are you here?" Jimin asks the person, sounding suspicious of them.

"I- uh- hehe. I'm here to look after Hyejin. You know, since I'm her bestfriend and such." I hear Jungkook say and exhale out a breath of relief.

That idiot, he scared me.

Do you want me to let him in?

I heard Jimin speak and get startled. In my panicked state of mind, I had forgotten that I could actually speak to Jimin through thoughts.

Doesn't he need to be in class?

"Don't you have any class to take?" Jimin asks Jungkook right after. Jungkook takes a long minute to reply.

"Uh, well the thing is our Art's teacher has given us freedom for this class. We can draw anything that we see during this time period and submit it in the next class." I can't see him, but I can tell that he is smiling his bunny smile.

"And? I doubt this freedom would be of any use in my office." Jimin replies, but he does not sound strict. He sounds as if he is holding in his laughter.

That's weird.

I do not hear Jungkook's reply, but after a couple of minutes, the door opens and Jungkook comes in. Again, with that smile on his face.

"Hi again, Hyejin." He cheekily smiles and sits down next to me. I just sit watching him do this thing as he takes out his sketchbook from his bag and starts digging into his bag again for something, my guess is a pencil.

He probably senses my stare and turns to look at me. I keep staring at him, still processing that he is here and Jimin has allowed him to be here.

Not that I mind it, but I have heard that soul mates are very possessive and protective and would, in most cases, try to keep their soul mates to themselves only when they get to meet, for the first few days/weeks.

So, it is very surprising about how Jimin is acting. But, maybe I'm lucky and he's just understanding.

"Hello? Ms. Hyejin? Hye? Jinie? Hello? Have you gone deaf?" I snap back to the reality from my thoughts when Jungkook starts waving his hands in front of my face.

"Huh? Sorry, I was just thinking." I reply, smiling to keep myself from looking like an idiot. But, I probably do look like an idiot.

"Hmm. I was saying that you should lay down and rest. Mr.Park would kill me if he knew I was being a disturbance and I also don't want to keep you from resting." He hums like he is deep in thoughts.

I don't know if he has found his soul mate and is talking to him or her.

Why does the thought of his soul mate make me feel weird? I must be going crazy.

I snap at myself, shocked at why I would even think that.

"So, do you agree? Hyejin?" Jungkook calls me again and now I definitely look stupid for zoning out once again.

"Can I ask you something personal, Kook?"

Jungkook looks surprised at my abrupt question, but nods his head. 

"Did you meet your soul mate?" I immediately want to take it back thinking how nosey it must've sounded, but before I can speak, Jungkook replies.

"Yeah I did. I met them, but it's still kind of complicated. I hope I can properly introduce myself to her as well." He is smiling with so much adoration shining in his eyes, I almost feel like crying.

Strange.

"Oh, okay. All the best to you, I should rest." I turn to lay down and Jungkook gets up from the couch. He takes out a small blanket from his bag and gives it to me.

"It's from the nurse's office." He tells me, without me having to ask. I thank him and put the blanket around me, turning sideways to try and fall asleep.

Jungkook sits down beside my sleeping from and starts sketching something. I slowly fall asleep to the sound of his pencil being dragged across the sketchpad.

"I hope she doesn't get hurt when she knows the truth." He whispers, but only when I am fast asleep.

Jungkook POV:

Cute, right?

Right. And I hope we're doing the right thing.

I hope so too.

A/N:
Oh well, who is this new person?

Do we want to peer more into Jungkook's thoughts?

Reminder:
The words in italics (italics) are the thoughts of Hyejin and the ones in bold italics (bold italics) are the thoughts of Jimin. The words that are bold (bold) are the thoughts of Jungkook. Their thoughts appear this way when they can hear each other (when their thoughts/ minds are connected).

Hope you enjoyed. See you next chapter. 💜💗
