~~~~~Naeun

The light in the room is annoying. Did I not close my curtains last night? Cracking an eye open, I groan at the light flooding through the window. I try to cover my eyes, but there's a pinch on the back of my hand that stops my movements.

"Nana?"

The voice I love, calling to me, forces me to open my eyes again. It's not as painful as before with Jin's beautiful face hovering over mine. I try to smile, but a pain shoots through my head, make me groan.

"Shhhh... Nana just keep your eyes closed for a minute. I'll shut the curtains honey."

I can't stop the corners of my lips from curving up as he speaks sweetly to me. When I feel his presence again, his hand caresses my cheeks as his plump lips land on mine. I giggle after he pulls away from the kiss, and open my eyes to see him grinning at me. Everything is a little blurry, but he still looks amazing.

"What happened?'

"Don't worry Nana... You're going to be fine."

My brows furrow trying to remember what happened after we left to go to the concert...

"Wait... Haerin... Oh my God... Jin!"

"Shhhh... It's alright... She is in a room down the hall."

"She's ok?"

I catch how he looks away before painting a smile on his face.

"She's going to be fine."

"Kim Seokjin... You've never lied to me before... Don't you dare start now!"

My head pains again, but I glare at him anyway.

"Don't get upset... She's unconscious... But the doctors are saying she should make a complete recovery. I'm not lying Nana..."

I breathe a sigh, feeling thankful that she's not dead.

"The kids? Are they fine?"

"Yes! Jimin and Hobi have been staying with them at the dorm. I'm sure they're being spoiled rotten."

I can't fight the chuckle that leaves my lips, and I see Jin grin. He lays his head on my shoulder, and an arm over my waist.

"Don't you dare scare me like that again. I thought that I'd lost you... We have a whole life in front of us, and I don't want to spend it alone."

Running my fingers through his hair, I smile and just whisper an 'I'm sorry'.

"Nana?"

"Mmmm?"

"I love you."

My heart pounds like crazy in my chest, and Jin lifts his head to look in my eyes. He's only showing me his sincerity and affection, which causes my heart to melt. I run my hand over his face, taking in his absolute perfection, and give him the biggest smile I can.

"I love you too Kim Seokjin."

When his lips meet mine, I feel like there will never be another bad day. He brings me happiness, and I hadn't realized how much I've been missing it.

~~~~~Jeongguk

A week has gone by, and every day there is a new story on me, my kids, or Haerin. I'm beyond frustrated with how  much information has been made public, and I feel like I'm going a little crazy. The only thing that's good in this mess, is Haerin is unaware of it. She's still unconscious, and the doctors are concerned, but when I ask they just say she's healing.

Sitting on the chair, I lay my head down on her mattress and hold onto her hand. I've been doing the same thing every day since the accident. We postponed the tour, and now everyone is just waiting for my Haerin to wake up so we can plan our next steps. The only thing is the public, and our fans, are ravenous for answers. They want to know if the stories are true, and without any response, there has been a severe backlash.
