14: The Stranger

Third Person POV

Both hands were tucked in his pockets and Jimin seemed to be deep in thought as he stared at one of the countless photographs taped to the wall. There are many photos of different patients here but his attention is focused on only one photo of the woman.

"Isn't Tzuyu beautiful?"

Jimin was startled when he heard Jeongyeon, she's just behind him and was raising an eyebrow at him. Jimin was shocked by the girl's question so he quickly shook his head so Jeongyeon just sighed.

"If you like her, its normal. Who wouldn't? She's beautiful inside and out. Feel free to have a crush on her, just don't crush her heart or else I'll crush your balls. Do you get what I'm saying? " Jeongyeon threatened while folding her arms. Jeongyeon's smile and the seriousness of her voice made Jimin cringe.

"I-I'm just being nice to her." Jimin stuttered and immediately stepped back from Jeongyeon.

"Okay, If you say so." Jeongyeon said meaningfully as she stared at the pictures on the wall. She caught sight of a photograph in which the four of them were together; Jeongyeon, Jeongin, Jungkook and Tzuyu.

"Is that the Jungkook guy Tzuyu was saying earlier?" Jimin asked while pointing to Jungkook's image.

"Never mention his name again. Never let Tzuyu hear his name again." Jeongyeon said authoritatively so Jimin was even more confused.

"Why? Aren't you friends? And besides, Jungkook and Tzuyu has a deep relationship." Jimin said but Jeongyeon didn't say a word. Instead the girl just grinned and without hesitation rip the photos involving Jungkook.

Jeongyeon crumpled the photos and hid them inside her pocket. She walked down the hall without emotion but Jimin immediately followed her.

"Jeongyeon what happened to Jungkook?" Jimin asked, already confused.

"Let's just say he died." Jeongyeon said sarcastically but the young man was even more confused.

"But he didn't right?" Jimin asked.

"Unfortunately." Jeongyeon whispered to herself and she suddenly stopped walking. She was right in front of Tzuyu's room. The door is opened slightly and she heard someone laughing inside so she peeked slowly and so did Jimin.

Jeongyeon couldn't help but smile when she saw Tzuyu having fun with her family. Her family was still hugging while weaving, her whole family was very happy with each other.

"Jimin do you want to know a secret?" Jeongyeon asked in a very low voice so that others wouldn't hear them.

"What?" Jimin asked confused and glanced at her slightly.

"Tzuyu is a liar. But instead of using words, she flashes her smile. Dont be fooled by her smile, deep inside the pain is already killing her. Tzuyu had enough pain already, thats why she shouldn't see nor talk to Jungkook anymore." Jeongyeon said so Jimin just nodded.

Tzuyu 

9:46 PM. It's late but I'm still happy because until now I'm with my parents and my brother I missed so much. I prayed every day that we would be together longer and we would always be happy, seeing their happy faces now, I'm contented. I just hope I can't sleep first.
