For You ✔️

Chapter 26

Taehyung came rushing in. "We found something out."

I was laying my head on the bed while Jungkook was sleeping. Now he's awake. He quickly got up.

"What did you guys find?" He asked impatiently.

Suga continued, "Well, Jin hyung tried to coax someone out to talk and it worked. Kim Ara Hyun has been in a coma for more than six months. She has had an accident."

"They found her near the bank of a lake. She drowned in the water. Apparently there had been a flood that time." Namjoon filled in.

Flood? Drowned? I don't have a single recollection of those days. I was confused and looked at Jungkook. He was deeply in thought.

"Hyung is that 'the flood' ?" He asked.

"I guess so. But I'm not sure. That rain lasted for more than two three days. It could be or could not be." Hobi cleared.

"What are you guys talking about?" I was puzzled. I have no idea what they were talking about.

"Ara that's...uhh...I had an accident long before you came. You know how I like photography, one time I went on a raft, alone, to take some. But the rain increased and the lake got terrific. I lost my balance and fell in the water. I woke up after a day in a hospital. We are thinking maybe that might be the time you must have had the accident too."

"Why didn't you guys tell me before? And I don't think I had such an incident. You know I'm scared of lightning. So shouldn't I be scared of water then? That girl might not be me." I know it was a dumb question but it was worth a shot.

"Ara we can't stay put anymore. I am going to be discharged today. Without wasting any moment we should find the answer. We need to make sure if that's you." He was determined. I had to agree, in a way he was right, what if it's too late.

After his discharge, we headed to see her. Jungkook was with me. As we were walking, I saw a familiar face. A little girl. I have seen her somewhere before.

That's when it hit me. She was the kid I saw in the photo Kook took, wearing my bracelet. Also she was the one who accompanied me on the ride we took in that dream where I met my parents.

I nudged Kook, " I know that kid, remember the photo you took? It was her." He looked at her right away.

"I don't really remember the face, but it could be her." We decided to follow her maybe she was the answer. She turned around the corner and was heading to the same room we were going. She turned the door knob and I entered along with her leaving Jungkook outside the room.

I gasped at the sight before me. The woman on that bed look just like me. She looked pale and her face looked like she was only one step away from death. She really is me. I realised my face was wet. I didn't realise I would cry, but atlast I found myself.

I stumbled backwards as I felt a excruciating pain inside my head. Memories. My memories.

I was seated on a bench near the park, watching the kids play. Their single movements made my heart warm. I've always wanted to have a little sister. Unfortunately, I ended up alone. I come here every weekends. This has been my usual place, my getaway from the orphanage. I used to hate it there. But I have lived there since I was a kid and I've grown to like it.

There was one boy in this park whom I adore very much, he reminded me of a boy who recently got adopted from our place. Whenever I see him it reminds of how much I missed playing with him.

He hopped like a bunny to bring back the ball  he threw across the ground. His cute little actions made me giggle. I saw a young man with a camera crouch down to get the ball. He passed the ball onto the kid as he playfully pinched his cheeks. I saw his face once the hoodie fell off from his face. Jungkook. All along I have known him. And I forgot about it. How could I forget him? Well I forgot even myself.

My eyes traced his movements. He was walking towards the playground. He played with them for a few minutes. His smile was contagious, I couldn't help but smile at his every actions. I was getting drawn to him. The past me, not the present me. I'm already down for him. I saw him clicking pictures of the kids. His eyes held admiration for them. He bought them chocolates receiving a lot of love from them. Not just that, I saw him helping an old man pick up his heavy luggage. There aren't many who still are willing to help others. His each actions made my heart flutter.

Everything started to disapparate.

Just like that, now I was at a street that looked really similar to the one we both went last week. I felt someone tugging at my dress, I looked down only to find that little girl whom I have seen multiple times by now. Ji Yoo. That was her name. Now I know.

"Unnie, please buy me that icecream." She whined. I crouched down to her level and gave her some money as I pinched her little chubby cheeks. She gleamed and sprinted towards the shop. Just then my phone rang, it was from our orphanage warden. She is a really lovely lady. Chill and fun.

"Yes aunty, we both are okay. Just stopped by to get some icecream. We will come back before it's dark." I ended the call. Tracing my fingers to my wrist, I panicked suddenly. My bracelet. Did I lose it?

Ohh..it's with Ji Yoo. For a second, I thought I lost it. It was really special to me, the only thing that connects me to my mom and dad. I don't remove this at all. But the only one I gladly give it to wear is Ji Yoo. She's the sister I've always hoped to have. It's hard for me to say no to her puppy eyes.

Just then I heard her giggles as she raced back to me.

"Unnie, that oppa helped me to buy the icecream. He even took a picture of me. He was a really nice oppa." She squeeled pointing towards the man I thought I would never see again. It was him. He didn't see us, he was in a phone call. My heart started pounding fast. My cheeks flushed at his sight.

"Unnie why are your cheeks so red? Do you know him, do you like him? Aunty told me cheeks become red when you see someone you like." I didn't know she gets such information from aunty till now. I patted my heart to make it stop beating so fast. I ruffled her hair and walked away from him to get back to our home. If time allows I might see him again.

I was brought back to reality, tears were threatening to slip from my eyes. I have always known him. I liked him even back then. Maybe that's the reason why I came to him. I need to get well to be with him like I hoped I would. I was thinking if I should tell him about this or not. Maybe I should tell him that I've seen him before and skip the part of me falling for him.
