Chapter 20

Y/N's POV

Muffled voices. A distinct beeping sound. Strong smell of chemicals. A dizzy feeling. Even before I flicked my eyes open, I knew where I was. When my eyes got adjusted to the bright lights, I realized that my assumption hadn't been wrong. I was at a hospital.

As all of my senses gradually became activated, I became conscious of a warm touch upon my hand. Turning my head, I saw Taehyung sitting by the hospital bed, looking through a nearby window out of red, swollen eyes. Sensing the slight movement of my hands, he jerked his head around, his eyes widening a bit when he saw me looking at him.

"Y/N! ", he exclaimed, but as if realizing something, stopped short.
" D-do you remember who I am? "

"Why won't I recognize you Taehyung? ", I asked a bit confused.

He, however didn't make any attempts of answering my question. His face visibly brightened, and he literally ran out of the cabin while calling out loudly, " Sir, Y/N came back to her senses! She remembers my name! "

He came back a few moments later, dragging Mr. Namjoon along with him.

"How are you now Y/N? ", he asked the moment he entered.

" I'm fine Sir but-"

"We'll have a talk some time later, I must check you up first", said the doctor who had also followed Mr. Namjoon into the cabin.

The doctor completed his routine check up and after announcing that he will discharge me by tomorrow, left the cabin to us.

I wasted no time in pouncing upon Mr. Namjoon with my enormous number of unanswered questions.
" What in the wide world is happening? Why am I here? "

"Don't get so excited Y/N! It's not good for you. We'll be telling you  everything, don't worry. But for that, I need to know whether you clearly remember everything that happened in the past, say five or six years? "

"Yes I certainly do. From meeting Taehyung at Mexico to this mission and-"

"And Jungkook? Do you remember him? "

My voice got stuck in my throat as he mentioned his name. All of a sudden, the memories of Jungkook, even the encounters of our last few days, flashed across my mind like bullet train, with each compartment flashing a different phase of our lives.
"Yes, I remember him". After a pause I said, " Where is he now? "

"He escaped. After jumping off the first storey balcony, both of you fell headlong into a sack of sand and debris. You got a fracture in your ankle and you became slightly unconscious due to the unbearable pain and Jungkook ran away before we could reach him. Maybe he wanted to take you along with him, but since you became unconscious, he had no other choice than to escape alone. I won't say alone though, since he took Clara Rossaire along with him".

"Did he drug me to erase my memory? But I could recognize him at once, though Taehyung appeared a complete stranger then. It feels weird, as if he had taken the memory chip out of my brain, and now, since you've inserted it again, I have revived my memory".

"The doctor told us that he used the neon gas on you. It erases one's short term memory. It's basically a technique used in the medical fields to make patients forget about traumatic experiences like witnessing a brutal murder or sometimes about the rape incidents. The procedure is highly expensive and we suspect that he had an illegal access to such equipments, which is not at all surprising. I fear the consequences which he'll have to face once we get hold of him will not be pleasant. The doctor gave you the required antidotes and we are extremely glad that you got back your memory".

I don't know why I felt sad for Jungkook. I knew what he had done was wrong, terribly wrong and unjust, yet I couldn't help resist the knot forming in my throat while picturing what will happen if he gets caught.

"How did you know that Jungkook was involved in all this? Or his location? I remember that on of the gum bearers was you though I couldn't recognize you at that time".

" We had information about him, in fact we could guess that he would try to kill Taehyung once he gets hold of him but we didn't have any choice other than giving it a chance. I'll forever be indebted to Taehyung for all that he has done".

" What about the elections? Aren't they supposed to be this week? ", I asked.

The change of topic caused the atmosphere of the room  to lighten greatly.
"Mr.Dae Jung got re-elected! Would you believe it! ", Taehyung spoke excitedly.

" Wait what? The elections are over? ", I asked bewildered at the thought that I've been lying unconscious in the hospital for months.

" Taehyung! ", Mr. Namjoon glared at him playfully. " It's nothing of the kind Y/N. Actually we could prove that Mr. Hoon was directly involved with Jungkook, and although he knew nothing of his evil plans, he is to be considered guilty for shielding him. Although the election results aren't out yet, we have information that all the votes have been polled in for Mr. Dae Jung", he whispered the last few words.

"Really? that means our mission had been successful after all? " I asked excited.

"Definately! And I congratulate you both for that".

Time skip- The next day

It was early morning and the sun shone brightly through the light blue curtains of the cabin, giving it a more cheerful look than before. Taehyung came over just as the visiting hours started.

" The doctor said he'll be discharging you today. Mr. Namjoon is looking through the paper works. I think I should also go and help him out", he said although I knew that he didn't want to leave any time soon.

"Be a good girl till then okay? ", he said and leaned in to peck my lips but at that exact moment the door parted and in came the nurse.

Her eyes widened on seeing us in that position and as I pushed Taehyung away, she gave a 'I'm-so-done-with-these-kids' kind of look and continued with her work.

She spoke before the flush in my checks could even fade,
" Your boyfriend really misses you a lot. The amount of times he's paying you a visit is-"

"Hey now, what can I do if the visiting hours are so short? " Taehyung retorted.

"And that's why you sneak in at night don't you? I've been working for over 11 years at this hospital Sir, how can you even expect to sneak into the cabin without my knowledge? "
She raised her eye brows, quite amused at how she had caught him in the act.

"Wait a second, I never showed up last night. Are you sure you saw me entering the cabin? " Taehyung asked, concern mingled in his voice.

The nurse peered at him carefully this time and shook her head, "No it wasn't you... he had a well built frame and his height-"

"It's ok, we got it. Can you just give us some privacy for some time? "

She nodded and left the room, not understanding what was happening.

As soon as she left, I turned towards Taehyung. "Was it Jungkook? "

"As far as I think, yes. I'll be checking the CCTV footage once".

" Which means he's still in town? "

"Not anymore. If I'm not wrong, he came to see you once last time before leaving the city.. or maybe the country".

Seeing my worried face, he said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine", and gave me the kiss he couldn't last time before leaving the cabin.
