Until You Found Me - A YoonKook Story

Chapter TwentySeven - Angst

Jungkook's Pov

   The next day, I arrive at Yoongi's room with his favorite snacks and Midnight. He's reading a book, and I place the basket of snacks on his nightstand. He looks at me, and I release Midnight on his lap.

   He gasps and smiles as he looks at Midnight. Midnight gets comfortable on his lap and purrs underneath his touch. "That's Midnight, we adopted him together," I say to Yoongi.

   He looks at me while petting Midnight. "I don't remember adopting a cat with you," he says to me. I sigh but chuckle. "I know you don't remember. We did though, and we sat in your room.

   "Midnight got on my lap and purred under my touch. You acted jealous, and it was cute." I smile as I look at him, remembering the fond memory of us. Yoongi stares at me in confusion.

    "I'm... deeply sorry, I don't remember any of that." He says while petting Midnight. "Yoongi... I know you don't remember, but please. I can help you remember! You go to college with me, and we share third period! To make it better, Jimin is there too! Marcus as well!"

    Jimin comes in and chuckles at me. "Just leave Yoongi alone, clearly he doesn't want to remember. He can just move back with me, to my house. I promise to take good care of him..." He says with a wink.

    I get up, feeling irritated. "Y-Yoongi please, I can help you remember! You just have to give me a chance, Marcus a chance to show you!" I say to Yoongi. He sighs. "Can you please stop pestering me?"

    My heart drops. "Jimin is keeping his peace, and I seriously don't know what's so important, that you keep showing up! None of it matters, just like Jimin told me!"

    "Y-Yoongi..." I say to him. I can't give up! "Just please leave me alone. I have this huge headache because you're trying to make me remember the past! God it "must be so important" that I get such a bad headache!"

    I feel deeply hurt, and Midnight meows. I notice Jimin smirking, and I grab him by his collar. "Y-You! You're doing something to make him forget on purpose, aren't you?!"

     Jimin suddenly whines, and Yoongi sits up. "Stop it! You have no right, to accuse Jimin like that! he's my friend, and he's very loyal! He told me that you wanted me to get kidnapped! I can't trust you!"

    I let go of him, confused. "W-What?" I stare at Yoongi. "That's right! He told me, you were even part of the planning! You just pretended to be a hero, and saved me!"

    "...You remember getting kidnapped, but not anything before that? Do you even remember me? Like at all? Don't you know that I almost became your boyfriend before you got kidnapped?"

    "Y-Yoongi, that's not true at all! Trust me, he's lying to you! The kidnapping did happen, that's why you're here! But he indeed pretended to save you and not know anything about it!"

   Yoongi backs away from Jimin and looks at him. "The last thing I remember was... a gunshot, him calling my name, and.." he holds his head in pain. "Yoongi..." I say.

    "J-Just leave. I don't want to think anymore, I should be resting." Yoongi says to me. "Y-Yoongi, please try to remember some more! I'm not lying to you at all, he's the one lying! Please just believe me this once!"

   "Just get out! You're hurting him!" Jimin yells at me. I sigh and take Midnight back in his little carrier. "I'll be back tomorrow. Enjoy your snacks, Yoongi." I take Midnight and leave.

   I get back to my room and angrily sigh as I sit down. "Marcus! Come out here." I say and Marcus appears. "Yeah, did you try to talk to Yoongi?" I nod and pat the space beside me for him to take a seat.

   "I may have a plan." He looks at me, intrigued. "What is your plan?" He asks. "Yoongi revealed that he remembers getting kidnapped, but he was lied to by Jimin. He fed him lies, that I wanted him to get kidnapped, even said I was part of the planning! Can you believe that? Yoongi does!"

   He sighs and shakes his head. "I get that Yoongi doesn't remember well, but what the hell is up with Jimin? Knowing he's the only person Yoongi trusts, and he fucks with him like that?"

   I sigh, feeling frustrated. "Honestly... I think what Yoongi needs, is time. The whole situation must've scared him, and adjusting to the things going on around him must be scary. Maybe I shouldn't push the remembering on him too harshly."

   I say to Marcus. "Yoongi told me he was getting a headache just trying to remember. I think what's best is to let him rest for a couple of days. Hopefully, once he gets released, we can help him." I say to Marcus. 

   "That's a great idea. It must've stressed him out..." He says to me. "I can continue visiting him, but I won't push anything on him. He may need a friend, and I can be just that." Marcus nods and gives me a thumbs-up.

Author's pov

   Hours later, Yoongi is asleep. Jimin takes out a syringe and slides it into the pouch. The pouch is connected to a tube, that is injected into his veins. Yoongi starts to wake up from discomfort, but Jimin puts a hand over his eyes. Yoongi goes back to sleep, and Jimin throws the syringe away once the liquid is in the pouch.

Jungkook's pov

   The next day, I enter Yoongi's room once again. I'm holding Midnight, and I have a bouquet in my hand. I notice Yoongi is still asleep, so I place the flowers on the table beside him.

   I let Midnight out, and he lays on his stomach. I smile and hear him purr. I pull up a chair and sit beside his bed. "I hope you're sleeping well, Yoongi. I hope you remember me soon, so I could properly ask you out."

   "Hopefully you feel the same, but who am I to assume that?" I chuckle to myself and softly caress his hand. I hear the machine start beeping, and realize he's no longer breathing.

   "Y-Yoongi?" I say and get up, in panic. I start to sweat, and I hear my name being called. "Jungkook!" I gasp and sit up, sweating like crazy as I wake up from my sleep. "Are you good? You started to say Yoongi's name in your sleep, and now you're sweating like crazy."

    Marcus says to me. I breathe heavily and hold my head in pain. "God, I just had the worse nightmare ever.." I say as I hold my head. "Want to talk about it?" Marcus asks me.

  "I went to visit Yoongi, and he was resting in his bed. While I was talking to him, his monitor started beeping and I realized he wasn't breathing... thankfully you woke me up, that was a horrible dream."

   I say to Marcus. He sighs and pulls me into a hug. "That sounds terrible, Jungkook. I'm sorry you had to dream like that, but it just shows you've been worrying about Yoongi a lot. You need to relax."

   Marcus says as he pats my back. I remove myself from the hug, and ask him "how am I supposed to be relaxed when the person I love is in the hospital right now? That dream only scared me even more!"

   I say, my voice cracking. "I understand, Jungkook. Please, you have to calm down. Yoongi will be fine, and he's going to get better. All this worrying is making you just stressed."

   I sigh and nod. "I just feel so stressed... I wish I could just go help him, I want to be by his side all the time. Knowing that I can't be there, because I have to keep a healthy distance, is driving me crazy.." I say.

   I put my head on Marcus, and he hugs me once again. "I know, I know. Just please calm down okay? Yoongi wouldn't want you to be worried sick about him. He'll get better on his own."

   I nod and hug him back. "I'll try..." I say. "Good, now let's go eat something. I made you some breakfast!" I gasp. "For real?" He nods. "Alright! Then, after we're done eating, let's go visit him! Please?"

   He chuckles and nods. "We can go visit him then, just calm down for now and eat alright?" I nod excitedly. He laughs and walks off into the kitchen. "Wait for me!" I say as I get out of bed, going after him.
