FALLIN'

[15] Enters the stalker

Next morning

*Namjoon's POV*

Jin was at his best today. He seemed super energetic since this morning~ woke up without having to call, made breakfast & brought it for all of us, he danced his heart out not missing a single move. It didn't appear like he missed his practise sessions earlier.

As I was busy thinking, Jungkook came & asked me, "Hey, what's with hyung? He seems very happy today"

"Mhm..Why don't you ask him yourself?"

"Come on, tell me! Did something good happen?", he nagged.

"...mm...he met somebody"

"Who?", Jungkook shrieked

"Shhh.. keep it low"

"...okay, but who is it?", he asked whispering.

"Ask him.. he'd kill me if he gets to know that I told you"

"Okayyy! Rrraaaaapppp monsteerrr"

*Jin's POV*

The day seemed so bright today. I danced like never before.

I was busy practising when Jungkook came & asked me out of the blue, "Hyung! Where were you last night?"

"What? .... at the hotel.. why?"

"Whom did you meet?", he kept throwing questions at me.

"Whom will I meet? I was there with you guys all the time & after practise I went back to the hotel"

"Hyung, why w....."

"You guys! Lets take a break & Jungkook come with me, I need your help", thankfully Hobi-ah intervened, saving my a*s from lying.

He winked at me while taking Jungkook away. I sighed with relief, taking out my phone from the backpack.

I wonder if Annie is alright. She looked so peaceful while sleeping last night. I saw her so close for so long, I can almost picture her clearly whenever I close my eyes.

Without hesitating further, I dialed her number.

*ring ring*

Her phone kept ringing but she wasn't picking up. I was just about to disconnect when she finally picked up the call with a husky voice.

Annie: H..ello?

Jin: uh... good morning

Annie: mm?

Jin: *chuckling* you don't have work today?

Annie: mmm..

Jin: It's 7.30, don't you need to wake up?

Annie: huh?..... sh*t sh*t I skipped my alarm. Ahhh I'm gonna be late

Jin: *laughing* okay, go get ready then..

Annie: yeah.. bye! Talk to you later

Jin: yep! Oh, oh... you okay now?

Annie: perfectly fine. Thanks a ton. Talk later?

Jin: sure, bye!

*call disconnected*

I sighed in relief, for the n-th time today.

At the hospital, Evening

*Annie's POV*

"Don't forget to remove the clot", I said to one of the interns before walking out of the OR.

Changing from the scrub to my usual cloths, I washed my hands & entered my cabin. I unlocked my phone to find a message from Jin.

Jin: When will your shift end?

Annie: In an hour, why?

I waited for his reply, but he didn't inspite of reading my message.

I let it slide & concentrated on my work before leaving.

'Ugh! I'm so damn tired'

I was walking out of the gate when I surprisingly, saw Jin waiting outside his car.

"Hey! What are you doing here?", I asked as I strolled towards him.

"I...uh..I wanted to see you,

I was worried... you know cause...."

I couldn't help smile at this guy. Do people like this even exist? Do I deserve this happiness?

I want to believe, but I'm scared.

I cannot afford being broken again.

"Hey? Where'd you get lost?", Jin asked breaking into my thoughts.

"Oh! Nothing... I...uh...I'm fine now. Thanks"

"...okay...um..so I was thinking.. maybe I could drop you home?", he asked scratching his neck.

I knew he did that whenever he was nervous. He does that almost everytime we meet.

"I have my car today", I said.

Suddenly his face lost all that glow. His shoulders slumped at my dismissal.

He looked at me with dejected eyes, flashing me a faint smile, saying, "Oh! My bad. Good night then. Get some rest".

I don't know why I was being affected. Why was I feeling guilty? I did nothing wrong, then why?

He weakly smiled at me for the last time before turning around to leave.

"Uh, Jin!", I called him out without thinking.

"Hm?"

"I...uh...I think I'm not feeling well to drive. Maybe I co......"

"Yeah, sure! I'll drop you home", he said cutting in, smiling like an i***t.

His eyes sparkled like that of a kid having his mother buy him his favourite toy.

I giggled at his cuteness.

Tonight, the ride wasn't silent. I heard a lot about his mother & how he grew up mostly feeding on chicken breasts. I told him how was my journey until now. It was the first time that we were actually getting to know each other, even if a bit.

We kept talking without even realising when it was time for me to leave.

"Umm...so, goodnight, I guess?"

"Umm, yeah"

"Okay...", I said, opening the door to the passenger seat.

"...Annie?"

"Hm?"

"Will you mind, if I drop you home tomorrow night as well?"

"Uh...I..."

"I'd totally understand if you don't want me to..."

"No, it's fine. I think I'd love that, if it's not too much for you"

"No, it's not", he said, suddenly closing in on me.

I could feel his hot breath on my lips.

My heart was pounding against my chest.

His gaze was so intense that I'd have fallen on my kness if I wasn't sitting inside his car.

"Jin..."

"Shhh..", he interrupted placing a finger on my lips, "Can I kiss you?"

I wanted to say yes, but all I could manage to do was lightly nod. I had been in a relationship before, why am I trembling infront of this man, as if it's my first?

I shut my eyes as his lips caressed mine & our tongues played passionately.

"Look at me", he grunted in between our kiss.

I wanted to, but I couldn't. I kept them shut tightly.

Suddenly, he pulled away, leaving me gasping for air. I gently opened my eyes looking at him.

"I like you", he whispered, reaching behind my ear, kissing my ear lobe.

He removed the strands of hair from my face, carefully placing them behind my ear, kissing my temple.

"I know you're busy worrying about others more than yourself, but, I want you to take good care of yourself from now on. Will you do that for me?", he asked with the most precious smile I've ever seen.

I nodded with tears gushing to my eyes & randomly falling on my cheeks.

He gently wiped them with a bright smile.

"Woah! You can make bubbles from your nose", he said cracking up.

"Ughhh don't laugh! It's all your fault", I pouted like a kid.

"Hehe.. okay, sorry! But I don't want you fainting again, deal?"

"Yeah, fine", I said, still pretending to be mad.

"Oh! I have something for you"

He said handing me my favourite chocolate.

"Ahhh! How did you know I like this one?"

"Cause I saw it in your freezer last night, dummy", he said pulling my cheeks.

I slapped his hand off my cheeks.

This guy is something. I feel an undefinable pull towards him.

"Thank you, Jinnie", I pecked his cheek before coming out of the car.

He was my Genie, indeed.

I walked into my house, smiling like a stupid teenager fallin' for a guy.

*******

*Anonymous POV*

I saw her. I saw her kissing a man. I saw her walk inside her house smiling like a stupid b*tch.

"How dare you?", I clenched my fist, digging my nails into the palm.

"You're mine", I wanted to claim her but I knew this wasn't the right time.

I stood there watching her every move.

"I am back for you baby. You have me now"
