What the hell

I sat up with a jerk, panting and sweating as if I had just run a marathon.

T-the-
The dreams are back?

Please no, please tell me that that was a single performance

I pulled my hair, looking at the alarm clock on the night stand next to the bed. It showed 04:16 am.

"Haru?" A hoarse voice sounded behind me and it made me flinch.

"Hey, are you okay?" He turned on the lamp on the night stand and rubbed his eyes.

"Y-yeah." I said, turning to meet his sleepy face, "I'm okay, just a nightmare." I shrugged and forced a smile, "Go to sleep again."

"You're sweating?" He said concerned, swiping his thumb across my forehead.

I moved away, "Jimin, I'm fine. Let's just sleep." I said and bent over him to turn off the lamp again.

He was too tired to fight it and just fell back and dozed off into a good night's sleep again, his arms wrapping around me.

"Just a nightmare." I repeated lowly to myself as I closed my eyes again.

It was just a nightmare...

I went to the kitchen after getting dressed and packing my bag. Today I put my hair in a high ponytail, in case Taehyung would drive me again and roll down the windows as he did yesterday... It messed my hair up a whole lot.

Jin and Jungkook was in the kitchen, backs turned to me, clearly working on something. I supposed breakfast.

Jin turned around with his hands full of washed salad and noticed me.

"Good morning Haru." He smiled and plumped the salad onto a cutting board and started cutting it to smaller pieces.

Jungkook turned his head but I avoided eye contact.

"Morning." I said and went to the fridge.

Even though I didn't want breakfast, I opened the fridge. Mostly to shield myself from looking at Jungkook. As I struggled to forget the nightmare last night, his presence reminded me again.

I closed the fridge a bit too hard, rattling the bottles and cartons inside.

"Jin, would you mind driving me to school today?" I got next to him and asked him with big eyes.

"I'm sorry Haru, but I have somewhere to be myself in," He stopped to look at his watch, "20 minutes."

I perked my eyebrow at him and switched from looking at the not nearly done breakfast in his hands and back to him.

"I'm just quickly helping Jungkookie make breakfast."

His head spun around to look at Jungkook, whose back was still turned against us, then eagerly back to me, as if he had just got an idea.

"But Jungkook's breakfast can wait, he can drive you." He motioned to Jungkook who turned around.

As my eyes met Jungkook's, I shook my head immediately, "You know what, I'll just take the bus."

"But you-" Jin started but was cut off.

"I'd rather eat my breakfast anyway." Jungkook shrugged and turned around again.

"Aish you kids." Jin wailed. He never figured out as to why there was this awkward atmosphere between Jungkook and I, even though he tried hard to.

Just as I did on my way to school, I took the bus back to the house too.

I had called Jimin, asking him if he could pick me up. He was rehearsing a dance with some choreographers and had singing lessons afterwards, meaning he again had to stay late.

This day, I surprisingly didn't get detention. However, it was a long school day and the sun was already starting to set.

As I exited the school, my phone buzzed, a message from Jimin showing.

Jimin: Jungkook's home. He can pick you up, should I call him?

Me: I'm good, I'd rather take the bus.

Jimin: You don't have to stay away from Jungkookie bc of what I said that day Haru

Me: I'm not, I'm just not the biggest 'Jungkookie' fan

Jimin: 😂

Jimin: But seriously, it's getting dark, I'll call him.

Me: I'm already on the bus😜

Jimin: 🙄

Jimin: If I'm not home before you sleep, good night Princess.

Jimin: Get home safe.

Me: Good night❤️

I was not already on the bus... I just didn't want to sit in a car with Jungkook for 40 minutes.

I opened the door to the house, stepping into the hallway immediately spotting Jungkook on the couch. His legs were resting on the coffee table and his arms on the backrest.

We're seriously home alone?

Jimin's getting home late
I took the bus to school and back, 1 hour each way... 
I'm home alone with Jungkook, whom I by the way dreamed of last night!

Can this day get any worse?

I was about to sneak by him, going to my room, but the white fluff ball jumped from Jungkook's lab and ran towards me, Jungkook's eyes following.

"Hi Monnn." I cooed, for a second completely forgetting the 'don't wanna be noticed' part. I squatted down, cupping his fluffy head in my hands. That pup was irresistible.

"You're home late." Jungkook spoke from the couch.

I mentally cursed.

I straightened up and raised my eyebrow at him, "So?"

"Got detention again?" He chuckled, pausing the TV. He moved his feet to the ground and sat with his hands folded between his knees.

Jeez Tae, did you tell literally everybody in the household I got detention yesterday!?

"That's none of your business," I huffed, "but as a matter of fact I didn't, it was just a long school day." I couldn't resist correcting him.

"You get detention often, huh?"

His hair was full of gel, pulled back, only a strand of hair falling over his forehead. That look matched his personality. It made him look super cocky and full of himself and really annoying to look at. He must had been at a photo shoot or something.

I huffed, turning around to get to my room.

"I see why."

I stopped in my steps. He just knew exactly how to push my buttons.

"Why hm?" I spoke through gritted teeth.

He shrugged, putting his legs up on the coffee table again. His arms stretching and resting behind his head.

Highly provocative.

I huffed, about to leave again when he spoke, "I mean if I was your teacher..."

"You know what Rap Mon? You look like you need a walk." I turned to the pup at my feet, "Don't you? Yes you dooo." I cooed as he starting jumping excitedly. I grabbed the leash, putting it on him.

Jungkook let out a chuckle from the couch and unpaused the TV again.

'If I was your teacher'
If he was my teacher then what!?

You know what, he's not my teacher anyway, so I should not think about it.

I quickly slipped into my shoes and put on a light jacket.

But what was he going to say...
Should I not have interrupted?

No! It's a good thing I interrupted!
Right!?

Aish, stop thinking about it Haru!

"Come on Mon." I called and closed the door to the house behind us.
