He turned the shower on and tears rolled down my face as his words echoed in my head all the trauma coming back as the words repeatedly played over and over again.

Well maybe we shouldn't get married..There's no point in it at all we're already old so why not just enjoy life. Our father said as we all sat in the diner my face sunk at his words and I shook my head no.

"Does that means you guys don't love each other anymore?" I said shaking in my 17 year old body Jungkook grabbed my shoulders "no that just means that it won't be on papers but they love each other very much Ara!" JungKook tried to reassure me as we sat in the diner.

I played nervously with the coin in my hand when it fell I went under the table to grab it and JungKook tried to help when we heard gunshots I hit my head on the table and I heard screams I looked up and my parents laid lifeless on the chairs.

JungKook quickly covered my eyes and I panicked "mom dad!" I pulled them trying to make them come back as blood covered my hands an arms.

"Please save my parents!" I said as the paramedics lifted them onto a gurney they took both there pulse and she shook her head at me "honey I think your parents are already gone."

"No no mom! Dad! Wake up" JungKook held me as multiple bodies where turned over people crying and sirens wailing and the only things that ringed in my head was "maybe we just shouldn't get married" that was the last thing they told me..

I gulped as I tried to stay calm my breathing hitched and it became hard to breathe as my chest heaved up and down I pulled out my phone calling JungKook as I tried to contain myself.

JungKook: what's up?
Ara: I-it's happening again I can't breath help me Kook I can't I can't I need mom I need her I can't
JungKook: calm down breath Ara listen to my voice!

*Tae comes out the shower..*
Ara: I can't breathe I'm feel like I'm dying Kook I need my mom please help me!
Kook: I'm on my way right now just breathe with me

"Baby what's wrong what happened?" Tae said trying to hold me I pushed him off as I tried to breathe normally but I had no hope.

"Mom..I need you please please!" I said as I heard footsteps coming from the stairs JungKook ran in and Jimin was behind him.

"Hey hey breathe Ara!" Kook said holding me I pushed him and he tried to come back.

"I can't breathe Kook I can't I can't please I need mom give me mom I can't" he pulled me into a hug and my breathing worsened.

"Ara mom isn't here she's gone and I can't help you if you don't listen listen to me please..tell me what triggered it?"

"T-Taehyung..." I said trying to control my breathing pattern tae looked confused and crouched down to my level to look at me.

"Ok now what color is my shirt?"
"Yellow.." he nodded and my breathing slowed slightly.

"Ok..what did Tae say that triggered it"
"He s-said maybe I d-don't want to get married"

"Tae isn't mom and dad..ok Ara he's not he never will be ok mom isn't coming back she can't you know if she could she would but she loves you.."

"I need her..mom" he shook his head and my breathing normalized "you haven't been taking your anxiety medicine" I shook my head and he stood me on my feet.

"Go shower..let us talk" I shook my head and he pushed me into the bathroom.

JungKook's POV
I lead Jimin and Tae downstairs and sat them down on the couch clearing my throat.

"Ara has anxiety...she was diagnosed with it when she was 17 after witnessing the murder of our parents one of the 2 anxieties she has is separation anxiety the sad party about is the person she's emotionally attached to is dead our mom died...words can also trigger it like when you said you didn't want to get married those happened to be the almost exact thing that our parents said to us last before they were shot and killed in front of my 17 year old sister and 22 year old me so yes..Ara is fragile and she refuses to believe that she's sick. Every time she gets like that the first person she calls for is usually our mom so please I know this may seem difficult but refrain from saying things like you did"

Tae shook his head and a tear rolled down his face "I was so mean to her for nothing she just wanted me to open up to her" Jimin hit the back of his head and he groaned "I'm the one who told her to talk to you so don't yell at her yell at me stupid"

Just then Ara came down the stairs in all black with her hair braided back her eyes were still puffy and she sighed when she reached the bottom.

Ara's POV
"I'm going to go see mom.." They all stood up and came towards me "mom is gone you can visit her grave though" I shook my head going toward the door and tae ran towards me.

"Baby...I'm sorry I didn't mean what I said I was an asshole" he took a box out of his pocket and showed me it "let's get married I love you more than life itself and I want to hold you in my arms forever I want to call you mine I want to grow old with you I want you to bare my children and we can have only 1 if that's what you want we can even adapt you can peruse you dreams as a model at the same time so please don't say no and make me the happiest man alive marry me please my love!"

I squealed and looked at Kook who gave me the thumbs up "of course I'll marry you!" He picked me up and twirled me as I happily laughed.

"We still have some things to talk about don't think you off the hook my fiancé" he chuckled wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I'll Go get changed so I can visit your parents.." I smiled and he came back dressed in a black suit.

"Ooh..dad would have loved you.." Kook laughed and agreed "yeah..he would have"
