"What took you so long Tae? Uncle already fell asleep in the car."

I looked inside inside the car to see uncle sleeping. Jimin put a thin duvet on him, probably he carried it from home.

My head was still throbbing and whole body felt sore as if someone beat me up severely. The abdominal pain was constant and that's what worried me the most. I didn't know if my baby was okay and I had no way to check either.

"I..I was in the bathroom..yeah.. let's go then"

My answer was vague I realised but I didn't have anything else to say. Hopefully Jimin bought whatever I sold him and we sat in the car.

Jimin started driving and uncle was in the back seat sleeping. I wish I could talk to him and Jimin too but my body wasn't letting me to do so. I felt so tired that it was even harder to keep my eyes open.

Whatever happened in the hospital bathroom should seem normal as ever but somewhere in the back of my mind it was there. Whatever happened there was quite unusual. It was impossible to comprehend albeit.

I was drying my face with my handkerchief after washing it, trying to remove any kind of trace of being wasted after almost having a break down. I absolutely hated the pregnancy hormones. They were all over me and I couldn't even help it.

"Take care of yourself. While you still can"

There was no one other than me and the person standing beside me. He was wearing a black hoodie with a mask and sunglass that hid his face quite well.

But was he talking to me?

"Excuse me..?"

I chimed in. I had no idea if he was talking to me or not but there was no one else in the bathroom.

He suddenly turned towards me and moved his hand to touch my face. I got scared, I wanted to run away from there but for some unknown force I couldn't move from my place as if my feet got stuck there. I could feel my whole body trembling as soon as his index finger touched my forehead. I felt hot and cold all together. I kept sweating strenuously, my shirt was already wet I felt.

All of a sudden a sharp pain shot through my spine and immediately it spread through my bones to all over my body. It was becoming unbearable. I wanted to scream but couldn't as if something held my voice captive.

I tried to look at the person but all in vain. My vision became blurry too. The only thing I could notice was his eyes when he removed the sunglass. I swear I could feel my soul leaving my body the moment I saw his eyes. They were all white. His pupils..too. Not a single trace of black.

The pain was increasing instantly and I shut my eyes tight because of it. However the moment I shut my eyes everything went back to normal. The extreme pain was long gone even though I felt sore and the person... He was no longer there. It was only me standing in front of the mirror.

What was that..?

"Hey chim..can you drop me at my place? I'll go to your place when uncle wakes up. You'll inform me, alright?"

I couldn't tell Jimin about the incident earlier and absolutely not what I was feeling. He would start worrying about health and probably wouldn't believe me.

"Yeah that I can do but what happened suddenly? Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm alright. I just remembered about the assignment that is due today. I'll just finish it and get back to you"

I lied. But I didn't have any other option left. I just wanted to go home nothing else.

"Ah okay. No issue."

Jimin focused on driving after that. I looked out of the window to feel the cold wind against my face. It was so calm and peaceful unlike my life right now.

I already had enough in my hand to find out Jungkook but this new incident totally shook me up. Was he like Jungkook too? Or...was it all my imagination..? No it couldn't be. I clearly felt his presence and his eyes...his eyes were definitely not usual. But Jungkook had normal eyes.. right? Or was he hiding his real appearance too?

And why did he touch me like that? Why did I feel this extreme pain anyway? Did he know me? What about my baby..?

No matter what, I had only questions piling up without any source of answers to solve them.

"Hey Tata, you home already? How's uncle?"

Hara was on her laptop when I entered into my small living room. She looked at me smiling unknowing of the storm inside me.

"He got discharged. I'll go back to Jimin's house once I'm done with my assignment"

Shit. It was hard to speak again. My throat was sore and the pain was still there. I immediately went to sit beside Hara, closing my eyes as soon as my back touched the sofa.

Hara put her laptop aside and started stroking my hair gently. It eased my throbbing headache a bit.

"What happened to my baby tiger hmm? Tired?"

I didn't reply to her, just melt into her touches on my head. I wanted to tell her everything. But I was afraid too. Afraid she wouldn't believe me or I might put her life in danger by letting her know. She didn't deserve that. I wish I could give her all the happiness in the world which she deserved but I was only a pathetic of a human being, suffering in my own misery.

"Hara, am I bad person?"

I was suddenly overwhelmed with all these emotions. Fucking pregnancy hormones. I'm sure they're the reason for this!

"Who told you that, tiger? Of course not! You're the greatest person alive. My most beautiful brother. Now tell me what happened? If you don't tell me then how will I help you? Are you hurt somewhere?"

I looked at her. Worry was written all over her face and it hurt me more. She had to suffer because of me too.

I told her nothing, instead hugged her tightly, shaking my head and of course not wanting her to see the visible tears in my eyes. Hopefully she asked me nothing further and let me borrow her shoulder for crying until I fell asleep.
