Chapter 25 - Chapter 24: Let Me Know

Jeon Jungkook's POV

"Can I talk to you later?" I motion to Lee Jieun who was chatting with Heejin. It made me question even more.

"Yeah sure." She mutters quietly.

Its been days since she fell, and she is a lot better now. Though I couldn't get it off my mind. My dreams keep coming true. My instincts made me feel like she knew about it too somehow.

Not to mention that right now they just announced the Suga MV I dreamt about recently.

Leaning next to company door. Jungkook waited, his weight switching from one leg to another.

His thoughts pondered. Until a pat in his shoulder drew his attention.

"Do you wanna talk now?" Lee Jieun asked.

"Uh yeah, lets go somewhere else though."

Jungkook sitting down into one of the swings in the park they usually hanged out.

Lee Jieun sat down in the other starting to swing unconsciously, already knowing what he wants to talk about.

"Is this about my mom seeing us the other day? Don't worry I am sure she didn't because if so, you wouldn't be walking normally now." She chuckles trying to cut through the tense atmosphere in this windy weather.

"What do you mean?" He laughs slightly.

"Oh just that she might have killed you"

He looks away with a soft chuckle.

After She quieted down, a wind blew by carrying the same intense atmosphere.

"You know I have been having weird dreams lately." Jungkook broke the silence into the first thing he could think of.

Lee Jieun stopped swinging, heavy chested she met his eyes.

"It might sound even weirder but somehow they're coming true."

"What do you mean?" She stutters.

"I keep dreaming about Heejin and they actually end up coming true, but the scenes repeat to you. It always ends up linking to you somehow. I dont know to explain."

Lee Jieun gasps, holding her breath as she's too scared that he knows. Looking down into her hands that rested on her thigh.

"Like what?" She asks again.

"Like you falling instead of her. And i dreamt about heejin joining us in a suga comeback and it came true but it was... you instead?" He bit his lips realizing how irrational he might sound but he had to.

"I dreamt about it too." She added, her eyes still focused on her hands.

His eyes darted immediately to look at her, "What, really?! You dreamt of Heejin too?"

"Yeah something like that." She couldn't figure out how to tell him the truth so she didn't.

"So you did it on purpose? Getting hurt in her place?" His eyes narrowed as he gazed her confused.

"Not really, i was just making sure she doesn't get hurt." she explained.

"By hurting your self?" He huffed loudly.

She stayed speechless.

He held into the rope of her swing moving her closer. When she finally met his eyes once again. His eyes darted at her face softly.

"You know everything goes back to you. Even the fact that I liked her in my dreams. I am sure you know of that right?" As his gaze wonders to her face , her eyes, nose and finally to lips.

She still stays silent. He looks back into her eyes.

"I will take that as a yes.." He added.

"Huh?" Lee Jieun mutters quietly.

"I don't know what you're trying to do, it feels like you're trying to help her from something even bigger. Whatever it is, if it involves you getting hurt I won't let you." He firmly said pulling her closer.

Lee Jieuns chest that felt heavier by the second, felt heat rush through her with every glance.

"I have to do something, she will die if I don't." Lee Jieun's eyes water instantly but she hold its back.

"Die?" Jungkook eyes widen in shock.

"Wait are you planning to die instead of her too?" He questioned this time sounding alot firmer.

Lee Jieun who didn't know how her plan was going, rather stayed silent, absorbing how this could actually end.

Jungkook abruptly gets up, now both hands on the swing. Squatting down, looking up to meet her eyes.

"Answer me." he sulked quietly.

"I can't let her die."

"I cant' let you die either!" He explains trying to hold his rage.

"This is all my fault to begin with , i should at least take the responsibility." She tried reasoning, her hands fidgeting. Her once heavy chest now feels tighter.

"How is any of this your fault Lee Jieun?" He stands up, gasping his breath trying to keep him self calm.

"I wished for it remember? I already took her place in those dreams, and she ended up dying because of me." Her lips trembled and tears already reaching her cheeks.

Jungkook who stayed silent, his eyes softened to the sight of her.

Wiping away her tears, he moved his fingers through her hair. Grazing her and wrapping his hands her shoulder. Her face buried into his chest.

"Its not your fault, everything happens for a reason." He tried calming her down.

"I even selfishly let myself like you when I was in her own body. Now even ruining things between you guys." She removed her head off him.

"What do you mean?" His hands still rested on her cheek.

"I can't do this." She holds into his arm moving it away.

She gets up trying to walk away as he grabs her back to him. Facing her ungluing his eyes from hers.

"What are you saying?" He rephrased.

"I am getting in between you two."

"I am the one who decides who I want in my life!" He held into her hand even tighter.

Moving her hand away from his grip but to no avail. He glared down cursing into him self.

Letting go of her hand. He clinched his jaw.

"If you are insisting, then might as well not meddle in our life anymore. I will help her in my own way."

He turned walking away. His feet dragged him farther hesitantly. He didn't look back.

Neither could she call for him.
