Meeting Im Jaebum (Jaebum x Reader) [DISCONTINUED]

fifteen - sudden pain

His face came really close to yours in that moment and your breath got stuck in your throat as his face remained only centimeters away from yours. What was happening?

"Wh-what are you doing?" you stuttered.

"Do not act like you know so much about me," his tone appeared a bit angry, his warm breath hitting your face as he spoke. "I don't know who you think you are coming to this country you know nothing about and acting like you understand my life as an idol just because you're some little kpop fan," you hadn't realized you had stepped back to the point where your back had collided with the nearest wall hard enough to cause you to flinch as the pain in your upper ribs felt like a thousand stabbing needles but you tried to remain unfazed as he continued.

You had had a back and rib injury not too long ago and any sort of impact could cause a lot of pain, enough to leave you feeling paralyzed in that moment.

"Stop acting like you know me, telling me when to rest or eat. . ."

The rest of his words faded as the discomfort overtook your whole body and you couldn't help but wince in pain, your eyes closing shut as your hand gripped tightly onto his arm.

"What are you do- ...are you okay?" you could hear his voice but the pain was too much that you were unable to respond. "Y/N what's wrong?"

You managed to calm yourself down. Sighing heavily, you let go of his arm that you had non-intentionally grabbed. "I'm-I'm fine," you lied.

"No you're not."

"Like you said, I won't w-worry about you anymore . . .s-so you stop worrying about m-me," you said through clenched teeth as you tried to hold in the pain till you could get out of there.

"You're hurt," he sounded worried for the first time since you met him. He walked towards you.

"I said I'm fi-," the pain overtook your body once again. Your hand came over your back which revealed to him that you were indeed hurt and he was right.

"Back injuries are painful. You need to see a doctor immediately!"

"I can take care of myself," you began walking towards the door but before you knew what was happening your arm was pulled up and over his shoulder, his hand placed on your lower back avoiding putting anymore pressure on the injury as he helped you stand up and directed you outside.

"What's going on?" Hana asked worried. Mr. Park quickly got out of the drivers seat to check up on you as well.

"We need to get her to the nearest hospital now," his tone was once again filled with worry, something you'd never imagined.

"It's not that serious!"

"Yes it is."

You were helped into the car and taken to the hospital. He kept constantly looking over at you. This was the most he's ever stared before. Constant worry written on his features.

"The doctor said you'll be alright! Your rib is still bruised from the last injury you had but thankfully it's not broken or anything so it'll just take some time to fully heal," Hana explained a few hours later after you had woken up.

"Thanks for staying here with me. I know we were supposed to have a girls night sleepover, not exactly how I'd planned it to happen," you apologized but she just smiled and called you silly.

"We can have that girls night any time, I'm just glad you're okay I was so worried," she sighed in relief. "By the way, what even happened?"

"Ah. . . my clumsy ass just hit a wall that's all," it wasn't exactly a lie.

It was now 3a.m. You hadn't realized you had slept for that long and felt even more guilty that Hana stayed with you the whole time.

"I'll go get you something to drink."

"Thank you."

You rested back on the pillow. The pain killers had been working great because you didn't feel any pain anymore thankfully.

"How are you feeling?"

The sudden familiar voice made you look up in surprise. Jaebum stood right before you in the doorway.

"What are you doing here?"

"He's been here the whole time. He was really worried about you," Hana explained as she came back in the room with juice.

He was here all night? Worried for me? You couldn't control the way your heart beat fast in that moment. Did he really care that much?

"You really didn't have to stay here! Go home and sleep now! You have a concert tomorrow!"

He suddenly laughed and nodded his head side to side. "You're the one hurt, yet you're still worried about me."

You looked down remembering that this was the same conversation you two had before this happened.

"I'll go now. . .I'm glad you're okay," and with that he walked out.

Hana looked at you with a wide smile. "And you said he hated you, he definitely does not."
