"Just.... do it already."Jungkook whispered under his breath. "Do what they asked you to do. Then leave me alone," he added.
You were looking at him dumbfounded.
Yes, your first instinct was to stick that serum into his neck and then run for your life. But that was because you assumed that the Jungkook right now who was sitting so close to you, was the same who kissed you back then.
You thought so because you were sure he was not that scared boy who was running away from reality, seeking warmth and help, who was trembling in fear all the time, like a frightened little kid.
The Jungkook in front of you closed his eyes slowly as he waited for you to do your job. But before closing his eyes, you saw it. How he looked at you. It was for a second, but you saw it.
So much sadness. Loneliness. Disappointment.
And you couldn't do it.
Something felt wrong.
You couldn't find that evil in him that you felt that day. That presence that gave you chills. It was the first time feeling so terrified because of someone. But now it was somehow different. Yes, his eyes were cold and frightening, but that lust was not there anymore. This Jungkook actually didn't like your presence. It was clear he wasn't seeking contact or had other perverts intentions.
"Who are you right now? "
Jungkook opened his eyes. Then he smiled as he silently watched you.
Why is everyone asking me the same damn thing? He asked in his mind. Jungkook was tired of having to deal with the same bullshit all the time.
He didn't answer.
With a sigh, he pulled himself away from you and headed towards the other side of the cell.
He sat down close to a wall, with his arms atop his knees, resting his head in his arms, facing down the floor. Totally ignoring you as if you weren't even there.
"It's really important to me. Please answer my question. Is this the first time you see me? " Your soft exhausted voice asked.
Jungkook raised his head and looked your way. He could sse confusion and curiosity on your face, questions but never fear. Not anymore.
So, he answered to you.
"The second time," He bit his full bottom lip before continuing.
"The first time I think it was your first day here. When Naeun came with you and introduced you as my new... " His voice trailed off as he remembered that girl. How he woke up with her on top of him. How sick and powerless he felt while being continually touched. Again.
And now another one. Another girl. Another pain. He thought for himself as he glared your way.
Your lips parted as you were trying to understand what the heck was happening.
Yes, the day you first saw Jungkook was when you were with Naeun. Then, before Jungkook took his dose, he was conscious. He knew what was happening to him, and in that moment you felt the same thing around him, just like back then.
Restlessness, curiosity, intimidation.
Somehow, he was intimidating you.
The way his eyes were burning you every time they were fixed on you.
Not only that, they were shredding you to pieces.
His eyes were hiding intelligence. A larger pupil size reflects both a higher fluid intelligence and a greater working memory capacity. The faster our brain works, the more the pupil dilates.
It was something that you never saw with that playboy. And it hit you.
They were three different persons.
The kind one.
The playboy.
And this Jungkook.
"I thought that the real Jungkook was that warm and kind one" You sincerely said as you were standing up, your eyes never leaving him. "I was wrong?" Then you started to slowly approach him.
Jungkook didn't move from that spot, not even when you stopped in front of him. He just raised his head up and looked at you with an unreadable expression.
"Can we... be friends? I want to help you."
"Just like that? "
"Yes," Your eyebrow crashed together in utter confusion.
This again? Jungkook sighed. He felt how he was losing his patience with each second that passed. Then he suddenly stood up, taking you by surprise when he trapped you between his body and the wall.
"Look here.
Yes, I am a freak, weird, sick, a criminal, or how the fuck you would like to name it. But this does not mean that I am stupid. Can you stick this tiny but important thing in that beautiful mind of yours, sweetie?"
"Don't insult my intelligence.
I know exactly what are you planning on doing , and let me tell you that it will not work."
"What? What the heck are... "
"Am i talking about?
He smirked at you when you pressed your lips together. Yes. You were caught. You couldn't fight back because he was right.
"Don't you know? Everyone around here wants something. You can't come with the "let's be friends" thing and expect me to say yes. Please. You can't be that naive." His eyes darkened as he was taking in every inch of your face. "And I am sure you are not."
"What did they tell you? To try and gain my trust?" Jungkook laughed as he placed his hands against the wall, trapping you between his arms blocking your way of escape.
"Well, it will definitely be too much of an effort coming from your part. All for nothing. Why? Because I have nothing to say to you. How can I? When I don't know anything myself?"
Jungkook ended, throwing you an icy glare. "Secondly, why would I want you as a friend? "
You didn't say anything. But you knew better what you had to do.
That was... to approach the other two first. Of course, that it will be a pain with the playboy one. But you had to try. It was better than having to deal with this Jungkook. He was intimidating you as hell.
You had to first find out who was the real Jungkook. If indeed he was the one who killed his family, then which one of them did it? So, for the moment you just smiled at the boy in front of you.
Jungkook blinked in surprise. He was always accustomed with people throwing him weird looks, being ignored or being pointed at. And here you were... smiling. Well, you weren't the only one weird around here. Naeun was close behind.
Then your smile widened.
"You owe me." You said to him. And Jungkook's eyes widened when your fingers touched his cheek before gently tracing a finger along his jaw. And damn. Your heart just made a triple flip.
"What? Why would I owe you something? "
Jungkook asked, confusion was all you could see on his annoyingly gorgeous face.
"How can you not remember how you shamelessly kissed me without my consent? " You smirked after dropping the bomb.
For Jungkook, it indeed was like a bomb that just exploded. Because right at that moment, Jungkook's blank expression just transformed into something that made your heart flutter.
His cheeks suddenly became pink in embarrassment , his lips parted in shock as you were looking at each other.
But you weren't aware of how his heart was pounding. And it was for the first time.
-
You also weren't aware that someone was watching everything you were doing inside Jungkook's cell. Everything that was happening on the monitor before him.
He felt a pang of jealousy when he saw the two of you that close.
It was happening again.
But this time he will not stay and watch. Just like he did that day. When he saw Jungkook with the love of his life having sex.
This time he will fight. He was as aware of how weak his heart was. He couldn't go through this once again. The pain was too unbearable.
So, he will stop everything. Even if that meant to make Jungkook disappear or even kill him.
