"This is Jeon Jungkook, CEO of Seoul Higher View. You must pour all your skill, energy and talent into protecting him from all these attacks."
My head snaps up to meet eyes as bewildered as mine.
"You-"
"Do you know each other?"

My head is pounding, and I'm starting to feel sleepy. The pain slowly dies down, I'm not in as much pain as a few minutes ago. I feel my muscles slowly relaxing.
"Hyejin!" I struggle to open my eyes and meet Jungkook's. I smile weakly, loving to look into his doe eyes. "Hyejin, please." He cries in a broken whisper. "You can't leave." I frown at his words which echo in my mind.
Leaving?
I cough painfully and blood streams down my lips, on my chin, trailing down my neck. The metallic taste of blood plagues my mouth.
Fear clutches onto me so violently.
I'm dying?!
Eyebrows knitted, tears burning my eyes I struggle to keep myself awake. I need to survive. I need to get through this.
But the truth flashes in front of my eyes so brutally. I can barely breath. I'm bleeding out. There's a good chance Taehyung aimed just right.
He knew what he was doing.
"I took what was- what was most precious to him."
I don't want to die.
"See you soon, Hyejin." I hear a raspy whisper and my eyes trail to the person laying on the floor. My eyes meet Taehyung's. He's smiling like the psychopath he is. I watch as he draws his last breath, as life leaves his body and his eyes are emptied of that devilish spirit of his.
"I'm- I'm dying." I whisper, shakily turning my head to Jungkook.
"No." He cuts harshly. "No you're not. Ye-Jin needs her mother to be around. Jin and Ellie are waiting for us." He takes in a sharp, painful breath. "We're getting married." He lastly whispers and tears stream down my face.
I'm leaving this early?
"I-I don't want to die. I...I want to marry you." I whisper, my voice hoarse, my body numb.
I'm so afraid.
"The emergencies are on their way." Jungkook repeats but I know that I'm not going to make it. My baby, my Ye-Jin-
Was it the last time I saw her?
Jin?!
"Please...can you tell- can you tell Jin I love him?" I whisper, my hand gripping tightly onto his. He shakes his head vigorously.
"You're not dying."
"And- and Ye-Jin-" my voice breaks and a sob shakes my body painfully. Jungkook tightens his embrace, crying with me. "Jungkook..." I whisper. "I love you."
