One Rule! • JK x Reader•

53. Jinsoo

"Like, if they like you or whatever, how would you know?"

"I... well I guess they just are really nice to you, they try to make you laugh, in my experience they can be not so much clingy but maybe touchy in a nice kind of way" she smiles and watches as you get up wandering to the kitchen area to grab a glass of water.

While you're running the tap to cool the water you hear a ringing.

"Y/N I think your phone is ringing in your bag by the sofa, do you want me to grab it and see who it is?" Jinsoo calls to you.

"No... no it's fine I'm coming, probably nothing, I'll just..." you wander back over to the sofa and bend down at the side of to look in your bag, keeping your phone screen out of Jinsoo's eye line.

Fuck!

You mentally curse to yourself when you see Jungkook's name flashing up on the screen as the phone keeps ringing.

"Who is it?"

"No one, ignore it" you say hiding your phone deeper in your bag.

The door bell rings and you jump away to answer it; "foods here" you call as Jinsoon jumps up grabbing a few plates to share out the take out food you'd ordered, "I know it's late but we don't care right?" You ask with a smile putting it all down on the kitchen counter for Jinsoo to deal with.

As Jinsoo is plating up the food your phone rings again.

Fuck he never gives in!

You go back into your bag and once again see Jungkook's name flashing on the screen; you pull your phone out of your bag into your pocket so she never sees who's name is visible on the screen; "I, I've just got to answer this, sorry, I'll be back in a few, eat, don't wait for me, I'll eat when I'm done" you smile at your friend and dash away to your bedroom, closing the door hastily behind you so she couldn't hear your conversation as well.

"Hello?" You say quietly, and even though you don't want to be in this situation right now, you'll be glad to hear his voice after Jimin's small grilling earlier in your office.

"Hey, are you okay? Why didn't you pick up?" Jungkook asks immediately, the sound of a little fear in his voice.

It's at that moment that you realise you haven't actually properly spoken to him for a day or two, you missed him even though you shouldn't have.

"I'm fine, are you?" You whisper hoping you're quiet enough for Jinsoo not to hear you.

"Yeah I just... I worried when you didn't pick up"

Jungkook's voice genuinely sounds worried about you and it makes your heart melt, whatever you do to try and make it so you don't want him, you end up falling right back.

"Please don't worry about me, ever... you should just be worrying about yourself and the performance tomorrow, wait no... don't worry about it you'll be great oh... you know what I mean"

You hear him give a small giggle and in your mind you can see him.

"So..."

"So what?" You question.

"You didn't pick up because?"

You hear him humming down the phone waiting for you to respond.

"Sorry, my friend is here, that's why I'm whispering... so, I can't really talk Jungkook I'm sorry"

You sigh a little wishing you could stay and talk to him.

"Ah okay... is she leaving soon? Can I come over after she's gone?"

"Wait... why? ... are you okay? Why were you calling? Are you sure you're alright?" You quickly question wondering instantly why he wants to come round.

"Yeah I'm fine I just... with the performance being tomorrow and... I just wanted to come and hang out with you, it takes my mind off things" he sighs and you can almost see his disheartened face.

"Kook? Sorry, my friend is staying until morning, so you can't, not tonight..."

Your brain mentally interrupts with a 'or never again'

"... Kook, go to bed, rest well, it'll be okay, please it's getting late when you have a performance tomorrow, try to sleep" you say genuinely hoping he'll take your advice.

You hate yourself though, for telling him no, for not looking after him when he's asked for help to calm his mind.

"So she's not... she isn't leaving?"

"Kook I'm sorry, please try to rest, where's the rest of the guys? Can't you talk to Jimin or..."

You hear Jinsoo calling; "Y/N? Everything alright? Your food will be cold!"

"Kook, I've gotta go, I'm sorry, she's shouting me... promise me, you'll go to bed and rest now?" Your voice is almost pleading through whispers to him.

"Okay... I... nothing, night then" His voice stuttered like he wanted to say more but stopped himself.

"Goodnight Kook, sleep well, see you in the morning" and with that the call was disconnected and now you probably had to face Jinsoo's questioning while all you did in response was lie!
