My Brother's Clone✔ [Taekook]

32. CBT

Taehyung’s POV

“He's alright Tae and he'll surely recognize you,” Gayoung tells me patting on my shoulder as we sit on the cold steel chairs put outside the casualty. I nod my head in reply and keep on looking at the floor. My eyes are still pooled with tears and I don't want Gayoung or anyone to notice that.

 The awful silence, the suffocating smell of antibacterial wipes, the dull white paint, everything about hospital sucks. And it's more than two hours since we are sitting in this horrible atmosphere.

 After Jungkook was taken away from the field in that van, we went to the school nurse and asked her what is the issue. She said it was probably a concussion and Jungkook will be alright.

 We then directly drove towards the hospital in Yugyeom's car and was sent to this unfortunate area to sit and wait.

 The coach and a few of the footballers joined us a little later, seeing how they had to finish the match first. I heard one of the players telling Yugyeom that they almost lost the match because they were all distracted.

 I wasn't so worried at first as I thought it's just a concussion and it's not a big deal. Eunwoo said it often happens to football players and Jungkook will be alright. And the school nurse also didn't sound very nervous.

 But then I really didn't know much about concussions and I googled it as I was simply sitting here. And then a variety of different articles about football players who had died of concussion and scary words like brain damage, surgery and memory loss appeared. And I almost broke out into sobs at that.

 Gayoung took my phone away and said Jungkook would be perfectly alright. She tried to console me but I couldn't feel a bit calm. I was so freaking worried until an hour ago when a nurse came and told us Jungkook is alright and has got back his consciousness. I can't explain how relieved I felt at that moment

 But then she asked a few of us to go and see Jungkook to check whether he can recognize us. Gayoung told me to go along with Eunwoo and the coach, but I was afraid he wouldn't recognize me and I wouldn't be able to control my tears. So at last Eunwoo and Gayoung went along with the coach. And Jungkook could recognize only the coach.

 The coach said the doctor told him that Jungkook is suffering from short-term amnesia as a result of the concussion, due to which he can't remember things happened recently. But they said he'll be alright in a few hours and he can soon remember everything clearly.

 But I'm afraid he won't recognize me. Since he didn't recognize Eunwoo and Gayoung, he surely won't recognize me. What if he won't get back his memory?

 I can't imagine him looking at me and telling me that he doesn't know me. I don't know how shocked Gayoung and Eunwoo felt when he said he can't recognize them. Good that I didn't go with them.

 But one way it is good. If he forgot he liked me, then my problem is solved. Maybe I can try and become friends with him again and he may date Gabriel. Everything will be fine.

 But I don't know why I'm simply shedding tears right now. Gayoung and Eunwoo said Jungkook has a bandage around his head and he has three stitches. He might be in pain right now. But I don't think, that is the only reason why I'm worried right now. Let me admit honestly, I don't want Jungkook to forget me and all the things that happened between us, even though some are really unpleasant. I don't want him to forget he liked me. And I don't want him to date Gabriel. Don't ask me the reason.

 Talking about Gabriel, strangely she hasn't come here yet. Don't know what happened to her. Did she also lose consciousness on seeing Jungkook getting hit and falling down? Or else she should be here. She and Jungkook are almost lovers, right?
