"Jungkook can you hear me?", I heard a soft voice say in my ear.

I fluttered my eyes at the faint voice. My eyes felt so heavy, as did my whole body. I couldn't move my limbs, even a little finger, and my mind was still too foggy. My muscles contracted with the pain I suddenly felt.

I tried to move my legs but once again it was a failure, unfortunately. I didn't understand what was happening.

"That's it Jungkook, go ahead, open your eyes slowly little one..."

I had already heard this voice somewhere, it told me something. But what was happening? I felt the hand of the man who had just spoken stroke my hair and enclose one of my hands in his, it was very warm, it was comforting.

Time passed before I finally managed to open a single eye. But I couldn't see anything, everything was white, it immediately gave me a huge headache so I immediately closed my eyelids, while letting out a little plaintive moan.

"Turn off the lights, you idiots!"

I tried opening them again and this time it worked. My eyes opened little by little. Everything was black but it didn't hurt my eyes or my head in any way. On the contrary, it did me good.

"Jungkook you hear me."

"Mhm."

I growled a little in response to this man. I couldn't form a sentence or any words really.

When my vision stabilized, I could finally see this man. He was tall, had a black suit on him and beautiful tattoos like my dad.

My dad...

Memories of the day before came flooding back to me. It couldn't be... What the- My family couldn't be dead... mom, dad and Yoonkook, my little brother that I loved so much.

Tears began to well up in my eyes and my breathing hitched considerably.

"Hey shh... everything's going to be okay, Jungkook."

"M-mom..."

"Jungkook it's going to be okay, I agree with you."

"D-Dad, I-I want my parents!" I shouted.

"Jungkook, that's not possible kid... look at me."

I cried now more heavily, the tears would not stop, my vision was almost completely blurred by the tears, so much so that I could no longer see this man in front of me. I felt the sound of a chair, his chair and his arm coming to grab me behind the back to make me sit down.

I started to have trouble breathing, I almost couldn't in fact.

"Hey, you hear me, listen to me."

I mimed yes with my head, as I tried to calmly catch my breath.

"Count with me to 10 son."

I ignored the nickname he had just called me by and counted with him.

"And."

"U-An..."

"Yes that's it."

"Two." He continued.

"T-two." I huffed.

"It's good Jungkook, keep it up."

"T-three...Qua-four...seven...nine."

I finally succeeded after several tries, which calmed my breathing and my tears.

"And ten."

"Ten."

"That's good, I'm proud of you Jungkook. You're very brave man."
