Faded Away || Jeon Jungkook

(15)

This is a place where I feel at home.

The sound of the mouse clicking was what brought Jungkook's attention over to the desk. Miyun had left a note for Jungkook, saying she would be at the lab all morning. He knew that she would have left right away and so he had stopped to grab her some breakfast.

Jungkook pulled out the chair beside her and quickly sat himself down, plopping the food onto the desk in front of her. She smiled up at him, finally taking notice of his presence. There was a moment where neither of the two said anything, just staring at each other, the sound of their breathing intermingling and it made Miyun relax. 

The smiled stayed wide on her face and she diverted her attention back to the computer. She took a deep breath before returning to the task at hand and searching through the webpage she had pulled up. 

Jungkook, without saying a single word, wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close so he could rest his chin on her shoulder. Miyun felt the blush flood straight to her face and if Jungkook couldn't recognize the heat radiating off of her then she was going to have to check his censors. 

Just as the thought crossed her mind Jungkook shifted and turned in his chair, turning her chair to face him. His face was near inches away from her own as he placed his hand on her forehead to check her temperature. 

It was almost suffocating to Miyun how close he was, but how far away he really was. She pulled back quickly and diverted her attention to the side to try and escape Jungkook's pressing gaze. 

"Are you feeling sick at all?" He asked. 

"Just a little hot." She responded, trying to ignore how close he was still. She turned back to the computer and continued running through the lists sitting in front of her. 

She had spent the entire morning, sitting in front of the computer screen looking through tons and tons of hospitals. Ones she had heard of and ones in countries she didn't even know existed. Her goal, by the end of the day, was to find somewhere she could take Jungkook. 

Somewhere where there were a lot of high paying doctors, and some place where people would benefit from his work. Miyun had a lot of faith in Jungkook and knew that he would be able to do this. It wasn't even a question to her. 

Now was all about finding the place. And it was seeming less and less like an option the more she scrolled. She hadn't realized just how hard it would be to narrow down her search. She was scared, and nervous, and could feel her body shaking as her fingers scrolled down the screen. 

Jungkook's hand came down lightly over hers and her actions paused. With just the small little touch, she managed to breathe in shakily and it seemed to help her relax. There was still a possibility that Jungkook wouldn't be excepted by people and nobody would want his help. 

Despite all of Miyun's efforts to make this possible. And that was what made her a nervous mess. She didn't like the idea of not being able to finally prove herself. To the boys, who all expected her to succeed. To Yoongi, who had finally put some faith in her. To Jungkook, who didn't know any better. 

He squeezed her hand gently and brought her back to what she was doing. She stared up at the screen and watched as Jungkook took control of the mouse, guiding her hand back up to one of the hospital's she had passed.
