Puppy Love [COMPLETED]

"The nerve of that... that... gorgeous man." You groan under your breath as you wait for Namjoon to get back from the convenient store. Miri looks at you from the rear seat of his truck and nudges your shoulder.

"Miri, you think so too right? He's such a pain in the butt!"

"Who's a pain on your butt?" Namjoon asked, as he gets to the driver's seat right next to you.

"That new guy! I found out he was the one who adopted Bam... and now he's out there being all competitive in school." You replied, sounding too annoyed.

"Wait, you found Bam?" He asked while handing you a cup of slushy.

"Yup and his new owner enrolled him in Purple Paws too." You said in between sips of the iced sour soda drink. 

"Owww... so did you give him a piece of your mind?" He asked, knowing you already did.

"Well, you know me..." You replied with a smug face. "But I guess it was my fault losing Bam to him." You said not feeling to proud right now.

"Hey, how many times do I have to tell you that this isn't on you." Namjoon says looking worried.

The time you didn't get to visit Bam and failed to take him on the arranged date of his adoption, you were actually confined in the hospital, sedated and deprived of consciousness.

Why? Because life chose another random mortal to suffer... and that poor soul is you. Three years ago at a tender age of 22, fresh out of the university and about to conquer the world.

You just landed a job, got a new apartment and was ready to spread your wings. Then one day, it happened. Without any warning, while having late lunch with your coworkers, you felt weird in your gut.

Like a bolt of lightning coursing through your veins, you suddenly felt your entire body being consumed by an unknown force. At that exact same time, you had your very first seizure, sending all the people around you to a sudden shock.

Months of tests, therapy and tons of doctor visits paid off a bit. What used to be daily attacks of seizure eventually went down to every week then every month. You still have them now but thankfully you haven't had one for 3 months.

The time you were MIA and failed to attend to Bam, you had several episodes of seizures in succession. Your doctors got concerned of the sudden development and had you sedated to control future bouts.

"A penny for your thoughts..." Namjoon's voice suddenly invades your reminiscing thoughts.

"I'm okay big bro..." you give him a reassuring smile as you course through the highway in his truck, heading home.

Jungkook took Bam early to school. He's more than ready to show off what Bam can do, especially now that they've been practicing nonstop at home.

Jungkook's eyes wandered in the big activity area looking for the only person he wants to see. Bam spots Miri right away and went over to her but was flustered seeing a tall buff guy with her instead of you.

"Ohhh... so your Bam huh? Aera told me so much about you..." He kneels down on one knee and started stroking Bam.

Meanwhile, Jungkook approached the big guy who's been giving Bam a good rub. Miri went up to him, as if wanting to say something.

"Hey Miri..." He scoots down to pat her head and Miri just kept sliding her body against his legs, going around him.

"You must be Jungkook?" Namjoon stands up and holds his hand for him to shake. "I'm Namjoon, Aera's friend."

Jungkook takes his hand and feels the firm grip on Namjoon's handshake. "Nice to meet you." He says casually, keeping himself from asking where you are.

"We'll be seeing a lot of each other." Namjoon says bluntly. "Aera's tending to some personal stuff so Miri is stuck with me."

"Oh, I see. I hope she's okay." He said that sincerely. His eyes giving away his feelings and Namjoon was quick to see it.

"Don't worry, she's doing great." Namjoon reassured him with a quick pat on the arm.

At the same time in a specialty hospital somewhere in Seoul, you're lying on a moving table about to enter a small tube. Heart racing, lips trembling as you try to relax and get through another series of tests.

"Here we go..." You whisper to yourself as your being transported slowly through this huge tunnel of white nothingness. Closing your eyes you seem to have flashbacks of random things... your dad, Namjoon, Miri, Bam... Jungkook.
