"Wow"

The only word Haewon could only speak of when he saw Jungkook with a short hair, black and neat with his eyes sparkling in amusement seeing the woman mouth parted at his new look. Haewon couldn't believe how his simple hair cut will lead him to be another different person, and she hated how he is still handsome which bought her face turned red when he come close.

"You like it?"

She nodded shyly, eyes blinked before looking away and cleared her throat, eyes darting everywhere at the saloon before spotting a style with long blonde locks. "Have you tried that?"

Jungkook eyed the style and nodded. "I did, during my college year. I was swooning everyone with that kind of hair. But only lasted for a week because I need to show up for a formal meeting the next week. "

"I should have entered the same college as you," she joked before she grabed his wrist and walked out from the saloon with her boyfriend new hairstyle. Jungkook glanced at her touch, hiding a smile that is threatening to leave his lips. He likes how Haewon was being comfortable like this. He remembered how shy the woman is whenever they held hands, or giving a goodnight kiss at the cheeks but these days Haewon would sleep late as she is busy doing her work at the kitchen, making Jungkook giving her less attention because he doesn't want to bother her.

Now that she's finally free from her stress, Jungkook wanted her to be with him today.

They walk in his car and Jungkook was about to ignite the engine when his chest suddenly was clenching around him, the pain suddenly makes him hard to breath that he groaned in pain, and Haewon noticed it when she entered the car. She went closer to him, pushing him slowly so that his back was rested at at the seat and her eyes looking at him in fear.

"Jungkook? Hey, are you okay? Can you hear me?"

His breath is short, he clutched his shirt at his chest area and Haewon held his hand, while the other free hand went to his pocket to take his phone and called Taehyung. She's lucky the man didn't decide to put any password in his phone. "Haewon..",he trailed and looked at her in pain, sweat was now forming at his forehead and she looked at him, afraid at everything now.

"I'll call for help, try to breath and-"

"My meds-"

"Hello Jungkook? I'm entering a surgery now, why did you call?," Taehyung voice interrupt them and she quickly answered it but Jungkook shoved her hand away, making the phone fell down under neath her seat before he pulled her close to him, hug her so close she could feel his shaky breath fanned her ears. What she didn't notice was his hands struggling to reach the compartment of her seat, and grabbed his meds. Taehyung voice was still faintly heard that she quickly went to her sense to grab the phone again.

"Jungkook! I need to-"

"N-no. Don't,", he said sternly and distanced himself from her, a pill on his palm before he swallow it without a water which Haewon looked at her in a worried expression. The man then slumped his head at her shoulder, breath now calming a little bit as the pills reacted to his body now and his pain was gradually decreasing. But Haewon was still worried about him and Taehyung yelling Jungkook name was making her afraid. The man still didn't ended the call and Haewon knew something was wrong if Taehyung freak out that way. What is happening?

"You-you smell n-nice"

Even at this moment, he proceed to make jokes to her. And Haewon had enough. "Jungkook, don't make jokes like this, it's not funny," she said but the man didn't respond, instead he sighed tiredly, the after effect of the pain and the pill consumed him to the most but he doesn't want to look weak in front of her.

"I'm okay now, let's go back home"

"No, let's go to the hospital. You looked as if you're dying, Jungkook! Let me drive there and we can check what's the problem,"she said, almost yelling to him but he shook, rubbing his forehead at her shoulder and the hold on her waist was tightening. Haewon had no time to feel the butterflies but she knew her body flamed when he touched her like this.

"I'm tired, please?," He plead with a soft voice and she sighed. The man didn't want to go, and she can't do anything about it. But Taehyung is a nurse, he might help her a little bit to check on Jungkook. So she make sure her voice is loud enough to say "Then let's go home so you can rest," hoping Taehyung heard the message and proceed to drive himself there.

"But I'll drive. You stay back"

Jungkook didn't stop her, and he let her be. This is the only order he can obey from her now.

His time is running out.
