"No, no, no, no, no... This can't be!"

Taehyung was sitting on the bed near Haeun's. His hair was a mess and his face was all swollen up because he had just woken up.

"I didn't just sleep here for the whole night, did I?" Taehyung slapped his forehead and made an irritated face while shaking his head, "Kim Taehyung, how could you be so irresponsible. HOW?!"

He smacked himself one more time before taking in deep breathes to calm himself down. "Okay... I need to calm my shit down and escape from here."

He looked around the room and found noone. His gaze landed on the couch where a blanket and two pillows were placed. It clearly looked like someone had slept there. Taehyung suddenly realised something and his eyes widened.

"Wait... As far as I remember, I was sitting beside Haeun last night, then how am I here now?" He immediately got out of bed and started looking here and there once again, as if it would give him any answers.

He suddenly stilled and his eyes widened even more, "Don't tell me that..." He gulped, "A ghost.." He immediately shook his head, "No, no, it can't be a ghost." He looked at the couch once again and kept staring at it for a long time. His eyes suddenly softened and he plopped down on the bed.

"So it was you, huh?" He bit his lower lip, "You again?" He took a deep breath before averting his gaze from the couch, "Why?" He whispered, "Aren't we enemies?"

Before he could do or think anything else, he heard some movements inside the washroom. His eyes widened, realising that someone was there.

He immediately made a run towards the door, twisted the doorknob and looked back at the unconscious figure of Haeun one last time, "I'll be back." He whispered before making a run outside.

Climbing down the staircase and reaching the ground floor, he made a run towards the exit of the hospital but before he could reach there, something caught his eyes.

Infront of his eyes, a guy had punched another guy hard across his face, causing him to groan loudly and fall down on the floor. The one who had thrown his fist was back facing him, so he couldn't see his face, but the one who had gotten hurt and fallen down was clearly visible to Taehyung. It was a good looking blonde guy.

Taehyung wanted to ignore the scene and just make a run outside but seeing the condition of the blonde man and how he couldn't even get up, he chose otherwise.

He hurried towards the man and crouched down in front of him. The man had a busted lip and a cut on his cheek. Taehyung gulped and touched his shoulder, "Are you okay, sir?"

Instead of replying to his question, the man kept glaring at the other man, who had punched him. Taehyung turned his gaze towards him too.

All breath left his lungs as soon as his brown eyes met with those deep eyes of the man. A gasp left his lips when he finally recognised the face.

"J-Jungkook."

With a cup of Starbucks coffee in his hand, Jungkook was strolling in the big garden outside the hospital. He was wearing a a black t-shirt tucked in black skinny jeans and black boots. His hair was, like always, styled. He had just taken a bath and was ready for the day, looking fresh as ever.

He had many things going on in his mind, but Taehyung was consuming his thoughts the most. The boy was still not up and was sleeping peacefully in Haeun's hospital room. Jungkook was anxious of what his reaction would be when he wakes up.
