Chapter 33 | To See You Like This

My baby must be waiting for me. Once I reach the spot, I find a body, fully naked, turned to the other side with her back in my sight. Something isn't familiar or the same. She looks so skinny it hurts. As expected, I break down, my knees giving up on me causing me to kneel on the ground. I take my coat off to cover her body with it, which was something at least one of these people should have done, but didn't. I turn her body to face me, only to be shocked, but also let tears escape my orbs before I cup her wounded, unconscious face. "It— It's not... It's not my baby. It's not Y/N." 

"IT'S NOT HER!" I start to scream which gets Jin and Namjoon immediately rush towards me and try to get me out of there. Tears making my vision hazy, and a heavily wounded Aera in my arms broke me again. But what made it worse was that Y/N was not here. They didn't find her. 

"What did she do to— to deserve that. I want her, hyung." I cry and beg them to get her back as if my pleads would do anything good. They've tried their best and Hanmi is pretty strong in her head. 

The ambulance arrived and they took Aera from me to check her pulse before putting her on the stretcher and then shifting her into the ambulance. Thank God she's alive. But I'm not sure her mental health will be of any good once she wakes up. 

Meanwhile, I was losing my mind, and began to kick, scratch my face and scream my lungs out. But I was interrupted with a burning sensation in my throat and Jin attempted to bring his hands to my mouth to prevent me from screaming. 

Within seconds, all I could see was a blurred scene of Aera being taken into the ambulance with her father crying, trailing into the vehicle along with the paramedical team. What I saw next was my vision turning darker and darker until I saw nothing, but could still hear faint voices calling my name. "Ask the ambulance to wait. His heart rate is going down... Jungkook! Do you hear me?". I can hear him, but I wasn't in a condition to take any action nor open my mouth to speak. I was going numb.

My mind was wide awake though, that I was slowly able to process that I was being shot in the chest, but I'm still alive, I don't know how to explain that. 

A few seconds later, I hear several more gun shots but I couldn't see anything. But the moment I felt Jin scream and I couldn't feel his touch on my body anymore, I completely pass out. The last thing I saw through my inward eye was a memory of Y/N spinning in her gown, with the brightest smile plastered on her face as her bedazzling eyes shine, lighting the world around her.  

I miss her. More than I could explain. More than I could ever imagine. More than anything else that mattered to me. I need her, and I'm ready to do anything for her. Anything to keep her alive, safe, and happy with me.

'YOUR P.O.V'

"She's moving, guys." I could hear a familiar voice while I was still kind of feeling subconscious. The only thing that comforted me was that the voice did not belong to Hanmi.

"It's okay, baby. Take your time and try opening your eyes." I slowly process and confirm it was Yiren, but the one who spoke first was Lisa. The nickname she used could only remind me of one person. 

Wait. Wait a minute. "Where— where is... Jungkook? Where's Jungkook?" I start to move my body all of a sudden due to tension and fear. It was just seconds before I felt Yiren hold my body and press me back on the bed which indicates... I was in a hospital.
