Saerom felt extremely drained once her breathing finally relaxed. Even though it had only been ten minutes, she felt like three hours had passed. During the entire ten minutes, Jungkook had never stopped telling her she was okay, that he was there, and to breath slowly. felt hoarse when she finally spoke, "Jungkook," she felt him slightly jump, "Uh hum?" He hummed softly, "Your hearts been beating really fast, did I scare you?" Jungkook could feel his cheeks flush, "Yeah, you scared the heck out of me." He scolded, a small smile took over her lips as she pulled away from his embrace. "Sorry."

Immediately Yeji launched into a whispered game of twenty questions. 

"Where were you? Why were you with Jungkook? Is everything okay? Why is your face so puffy?" Saerom sent her a smile, "I'm fine, we can talk after school." Yeji eyed her suspiciously, "Fine, but we will be talking." Saerom waved her hand dismissively, "Yeah, yeah."
