Twins | Jungkook

Chapter 13

You walked back to your bed, holding yourself against the wall, slowly making your way back under the covers. You checked your phone to see that it was already 16:04. You don't know how long you've slept or how long it's been since he came. You didn't want to remember, it was still painful, like a new open cut trying to heal but you knew it would leave a nasty scar forever.

"She told me to leave her probably wanting time for herself so I went downstairs. After an hour passed, I got worried as she didn't call for me so I went up and saw that she has fallen back asleep" A small smile spread on his lips while he admired you sleep comfortably on your bed. Your face nuzzled in his other free hand, thinking it was a pillow.
You had held Jeongguk's hand and brought it close to your face, your breath vented on his hand. Jeongguk didn't want to let go as it would wake you up or disturbed you from the good sleep you were having.

But what Jeongguk did not know was that, you weren't having a perfectly "good sleep"

You were having a nightmare and the reason why you grabbed his hand was to feel the comfort and safety of someone's presence. You acknowledge that you were holding onto his hand, you were aware of it but you secretly didn't want him to know.

"The rest are worried so we might come over later. For now please stay and watch over her" Taehyung who was on the other side of the call, spoke with a low voice. Currently seated on a high stool in the kitchen, waiting for Seokjin to serve dinner. It was already 19:18 and Jeongguk was starting to get hungry but you wouldn't wake up nor let him go.

"Says the one who said to stay away from her a few hours ago" Taehyung could feel the mischievous smile on Jeongguk's face behind the call. By the tone of the youngest's voice, he could determine that Jeongguk felt somehow fond of his words

"Yeah yeah, whatever kid" As soon as that slipped out of Taehyung's mouth, giving no time for Jeongguk to reply he hangs up and lets out a loud exhausted sigh, catching the attention of the 5 other figure in the room

"Let's eat up because I don't want my children to starve in a house that has everything but not food" Seokjin sarcastically mentioned and everyone nodded, thanking for the food and started happily enjoying the dish as an incomplete family.

-

You woke up a few minutes after he ended the call with your brother, not because he was loud but because you started feeling nauseous so you had to wake up otherwise you'll throw up on the bed. But once again you chocked on your own saliva but nothing came out.

You saw that you were still holding his hand so you abruptly let go, which made him quite sad as you could see his lips turn downwards and into a pout

"Jeongguk, why did you come back to me?" You decided to build up your courage and ask him what was those things he had said during the day

"Because you needed me and I'll always be there-" His brows knitted together as he tilts his head a little bit, confused as to what you were saying

"But you said you didn't want to deal with me if he hurts me"

"I never said that. Where does this come from Yumi?" You were hurt, why was he lying to you. But the real question was why were you this stupid to not notice he was speaking the truth. He didn't know what you were blabbering on about, it confused and hurt him so much to just hear you shout at him for something he didn't do

"You said it yourself, you cursed at me and said I was blind for not believing you! You said it yourself so don't act innocent-"

"Kim Yumi! I never said such things and would never. You know me, I'm going to joke around but never mean it in any hurtful way, so I don't know where you got that stupid idea but it was definitely not me-" He snapped, locking eyes with yours but then he suddenly thought of something which made him stop himself from continuing

"Wait a minute"

"Jiyeong" Both of you said in unison while still having a fixing gaze on each other. Both having a shocked expression plastered on their faces.

"This is why Taehyung didn't want me to see you.." He places his finger on his chin like he was thinking of something and mumbles softly but as it was too quiet in the house but you heard him clear

"What the- My brother did?"

"Only to protect you" He answered fast to avoid misunderstandings

"Jeongguk, come closer" Your eyes travel from his lips to his nose and to the scar. Something was definitely pestering you and you needed to clarify your doubts

"Huh?"

"Just come" Without him answering you back, he came closer to your face, his body inches apart from yours but it wasn't close enough to see the details of his features. You pulled him by the collar gently and stared at the scar on his cheek. You raised your other hand and brought it up to his face, he shuts his eyes thinking you would slap him but instead he just felt a soft cold finger on his cheek. You touch the scar, feeling how the skin sunked in forming a deflated bump. You heard him fake cough and then you remembered the proximity between both of you, so you excused yourself and let him go gently

"So this explains the scar on his cheek" The scar you saw on the supposedly 'Jeongguk' was on the right cheek but the real Jeongguk has his scar on his left cheek. This explains why it was pealing like it was dry, because it was makeup. Jeongguk's scar looked more deep, carved into his cheek.

'This guy really played me off today' You spoke with you teeth gritted and your jaw clenched
