"What if he leaves me again?" I looked up at her, "Just like the last time."

Mihae's eyes widened. Seemed like she was surprised too.

"Got nothing to say anymore, huh?" I smiled. I knew. Indeed there was no solution.

"It's okay you kn-"

"No. It's not. You have to give him the chance if you want to see whether he leaves you again or not" Mihae looked somewhat sure.

"Huh? What if he does it again?" I asked not getting my original answer.

"Then that will just suck" she sat down.

"What? Are you serious? That's all?" I would never talk to anyone like that,

"It seems as if you don't care" I could not help myself saying that.

"Kkum. Of course I care. It's that you never know. Jungkook is a grown mature guy. He has obviously changed" she continued explaining.

"I don't- I don't feel so good. I am not going to make my decision just based on that" I got up,

"Let's call it a day."

I got out of there. I really was not feeling good. But I felt upset by putting off Mihae like that. She obviously thought something before saying that. But still I was not that weak. It was not like I had to have Jungkook in my life.

I sat in my car. I was mad at Mihae. And since she reminded me all about the past, I was mad at Jungkook too. Suddenly I got a call. It was from Taehyung. I had not heard from him for days. I picked it up.

"Hell-"

"Kkum, uncle Jeon just had a heart attack. He is in the hospital you work at. Be there" I could not say anything.

I was shocked. I did not see that coming at all. I quickly went to the hospital.

Jungkook was talking to doctor Han. It was probably for the best that my shift was ended. Probably I could not perform the operation by myself.

"How is he?" I asked Jimin.

"We don't know anything yet" he kept looking down.

"Where is aunt Jeon?"

"She is sitting outside the OT" Jimin replied and I went to her.

I sat beside her.

"Aunt Jeon, there is nothing to be afraid of. Our hospital is known the best for a patient of myocardial infarction" I tried but she looked depressed.

"I know" she smiled, "I think he will be okay" she looked at me.

I returned her smile and nodded.

After a while, I went to sit where the guys were. My eyes looked for Jungkook. But he was not anywhere to be found. I asked Jimin. He did not know where he went to.

I strolled around the floor and found an empty cabin. I did not know why but I tried to open the door. Jungkook was sitting just beside it, on the floor.

His hands and head were on his knees. I could not see his face. I sat beside him.

I did not know if he noticed yet.

"You okay?" I mustered up the courage to ask.

He looked at me.

"No" he started crying. Teardrops fell continuously from his eyes.

"Jungkook."

"I don't know if I can see him again. What if I can't? What if they can't-"

"Sshh" I pulled him in my arms,

"Don't think about that since it will not happen" I started crying too. But I tried my best to not let it show.

Jungkook buried his face in the crook of my neck. He was bawling. I never saw him crying like that. Heck, I barely saw him cry. It really affected him. And here I thought that he was okay because he was talking to the doctor normally earlier.

"It's going to be alright. All of it" I could not bear the sound of his crying. It was too much.

How much was he going through?

"Jungkook."

I held his tousled, soft, brown hair. I wanted to pat his head but it was difficult. He was still in my arms. I did not know what to say anymore. So we just stayed still like that, crying into each other's arms.

That was it.

Why was I even thinking? What was I thinking?

Hospitals remind me the fear of losing. I could never lose Jungkook. I had to have him in my life. It was a must. I must be stupid to think that I did not need him.

I obviously did. He seemed so small crying like that in my arms. So fragile, that I was cautious to even move a little so that he might not get hurt.

I knew Jungkook never would have hurt me on purpose. But I was afraid, afraid of getting heartbroken again. He must have left me back then just because he thought I would not want him to meddle in between me and Taehyung.

But I could never even think of that. He was always precious to me. I could never get tired of him.

After sometime Jungkook gradually calmed down. We sat beside each other for a while.

"Let's go and check on him" Jungkook said.

"Yeah. Aunt Jeon must be worried too" I replied.

We both got up.

"Kkum" Jungkook turned around to face me.

"Yeah?" I spoke.

"Thanks for being here for me."

I smiled.

We saw all of them gathered in front of the OT.

"What happened?" Jungkook asked Namjoon.

"Your dad is out of danger now. The risky part is over. He is under observation and needs rest right now" Seokjin said.

"Thank goodness" I held Jungkook's arm.

He caressed my hair.

"I will go and talk to Dr. Jung about his condition" I said again.

"Okay" he was happy.

I went to Dr. Jung's office.

"Thanks professor" I said with a smile.

"Of course, I had to do my best. You don't need to thank me because of that" he said casually.

"I know you are a really profession driven person but you can sometime receive a thanks normally you know."

"That's not why I said that" he shook his head.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"He is Jeon Jungkook's father, right? He was the one who brought you to this hospital again. I needed to thank him properly."

"What again?"
