Jungkook’s ears are still ringing loud with a lot of voices being heard around him. He is too scared to open his eyes, to guess the possibility. His entire childhood is being flashing back to mind.
‘Now they’ll know too that I am curse. The men.. they will punish me for my crime.. my crime for being born. My secret is out. There is no way to run now.. no one to stop them, no one to save me ….’
“Hey lad are you okay?”, “What happened?”, “Someone call the ambulance”, “Did the street light just suddenly broke down?”, “Must be rusted…”, “ Poor municipality…”, “We must report about this, they could have died…”….
‘Wait!’, Jungkook tries to reason around him, ‘They?’, ‘could’ve?’, ‘died?’, ‘Does this mean….?’
Jungkook finally finds his courage to open his eyes slowly and looks around. His almond eyes slowly widens as a tear forms in them.
“You saved me!”
The girl weakly remarks at him while a lady tries to stop the blood flowing from a cut of her leg.
“You are bleeding!!!”, Jungkook feels horrified. ‘May be it’s too early to celebrate for me!’ Jungkook’s mind still narrates the possibility.
“But I’ll live!”, The girl smiles as the sirens of the ambulance being heard in the back.

“ I am soo fucking sorry… It’s all my fault!!!”, Jungkook keeps apologizing as an elderly nurse treats the wound on the back of the girl’s head.
“ Why are you keep apologizing? In fact it’s you who saved me!! I am the one who should be thanking you numerously instead.”
“But..You won’t be in this situation in the first place… Only if I weren’t this unlucky… if I weren’t bearing this curse with me… you would have never been in danger in the first place….I--”
“Hey Hey HEY!!… Stop Stop Please Stop! What the hell are you even saying?? Was that YOU who magically snapped the street pole? Or Is it you who wished that tragedy to happen?? NO! But IT IS YOU who threw himself on me without a second thought about his own.. and SAVED my useless live that no one has ever cared for!! Though it’s a mystery to me as how you survived the direct blow though .. but IT DOES NOT MATTER AND IT DEFINITELY DOESN’T MAKE YOU A BAD LUCK… It is not your fault that you are ok… Am I clear?”, The girl smiles sweetly again after a long heavy tiring speech. She feels so done with her new friend honestly, but at the same time, she also understands the source of it; ‘Survivor’s Guilt’ is not an easy feeling to get over.. She would know.
Wait.. ‘friend!’ Did she just think this guy in front of her as her friend? Of course she did. But wait.. How could she though? She doesn’t even know his name? His saviour’s name! She almost spent an entire day with him, talked about her favourite artist like no end, got saved by none other than him and she didn’t even BOTHER to ask his name before thinking him as a friend!! She mentally slaps herself.
“Hey…I should have asked you this before.. I mean before bombarding with all the facts about Vante… But.. What is your name?”, She suddenly wishes to dig a hole on the Hospital floor.
“Oh!”, A sudden realisation also brushes over Jungkook; he doesn’t know the girl’s name either!
“It’s Jungkook! Jeon Jungkook.”, He utters in shock.
“Oh My God!! Like the great HERO? Well you do justice to his name! You are my saviour today”, The girl squirms, “But if you don’t mind can I call you ‘Kook’ or “Kookie’? Otherwise it’s a bit mouthful you know.”, She cutely pouts at him.
Jungkook blushes at the sudden nickname. No one in his life has ever gave him a nickname. May be because in his hometown anyone hardly called him by his name, thinking it as a disrespect to the hero. His mother had never shortened or changed the name to keep reminding him of not to lose hope. He has hardly a friend in the University to give him a nickname. So it’s a new feeling for him entirely.
“Ouch!!”, Jungkook’s reverie breaks with the girl’s howl to the antibiotics on the small cuts.
“Are you okay?”, He asks in concern.
“Yeah just stings!!”, She pouts.
“I am So—”
“Don’t you DARE!” Jungkook receives a strong glare which soon turns into a small laugh.
“Do you need something honey? You are physically alright as I see, but do you feel anything internally? Lightheaded or headache? Or any slight pain in the back or other body parts? Do you need aspirin or want to lie down for a bit?”, The Nurse asks Jungkook kindly as she finishes her job with the girl.
“No Ma’am, I am feeling perfectly fine. Thank you.” Jungkook politely replies.
“Well that’s strange.. But if you say so…”, The nurse bade them goodbye and left the cabin.
Jungkook looks at the exist for some time before turning his head back to the patient. She looks a bit drowsy, probably an effect of the pain medications she consumed. Jungkook suddenly remembers something, he needs to ask her this before she falls asleep.
“I have been meaning to ask you for some time; I am sorry to admit but I also don’t know your name.”, He feels his cheeks getting hotter until he hears a tired laugh.
“Well that’s because I never told you, did I?” She laugh again for a bit before calming down, “My parents named me ‘Lisbeth’..”, she yawns as she is almost to sleep, “But I prefer people calling me ‘Lisa’”
