Part-29

"Heal her with your love, Jungkook... You will heal my sister, right?"

Jungkook looked at Jimin, who was lost in his own storm of emotions. He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply, but didn't say a word in return.

Just then, the doctor's voice echoed down the hallway, pulling them both back. "You can take her home now. Her drip is complete."

Jimin gave a small nod of acknowledgment, "I'll come in a minute after meeting the doctor. You go and take her to the car."

Jungkook hummed in response as Jimin walked away. But that one sentence kept ringing in Jungkook's head,

"Heal her with your love, Jungkook... You will heal my sister, right?"

He closed his eyes again, breathing out slowly. Then, without another thought, he made his way to Bella's room.

Inside, he saw the nurse bent over her, bandaging her hand. His heart dropped.
"What happened??" he asked, voice laced with concern as he rushed over.

Bella stayed silent, turning her face away. The nurse looked at Jungkook and explained gently, "While the drip was being administered… she forcefully pulled out the needle. That's why it started bleeding."

His eyes darted to Bella, but she continued looking away, distant and unreadable. Once the nurse finished, she quietly left the room, leaving only the two of them behind.

Bella stood up and began walking toward the exit without saying a word. Jungkook took a deep sigh, and followed silently.

Meanwhile, Jimin was in the doctor's office.

"Doctor, is she alright? There isn't anything severe?" he asked, anxiety woven through his tone.

The doctor sighed softly. "She's in depression, Mr. Jimin. She's suffering inside, but not showing it to anyone."

"Depression?" Jimin repeated in a low voice.

The doctor nodded. "It's not severe, but it's present. It's under control for now, but she needs care. Keep her occupied, mentally and emotionally. Distract her from the things that haunt her."

Jimin exhaled heavily, then nodded.

Stepping outside, Jimin spotted the car parked in the driveway. Jungkook was behind the wheel, and Bella was resting in the back seat, eyes closed, her head tilted gently back.

Jimin opened the rear door, and sat with Bella but Bella opened her eyes slightly. "Sit in the front seat, Jimin."

He smiled softly and patted his lap. "You're sleepy, aren't you? Come here. Sleep — I'm sitting here with you."

Bella gave a faint smile, then shifted and gently laid her head on his lap. Her body relaxed.

Jungkook, watching through the rearview mirror, remained quiet, eyes lingering on them. Jimin met his eyes in the mirror and gave him a short nod.

Jungkook exhaled, started the engine, and drove.

The atmosphere in the car was silent. Peaceful, yet weighed with emotion. Jimin softly ran his fingers through Bella's hair while she slowly slipped into sleep, the medicine pulling her deeper into rest. After some minutes, her breathing steadied. She was asleep.

Jimin looked down at her sleeping face. So still. So delicate. He closed his eyes and leaned back, his thoughts spiraling around her.

Outside, the sky was beginning to lighten. The sun was rising, gently brushing away the night's shadows. Soon, they arrived home. Jungkook parked the car inside the garage and turned to look at the back seat and saw Bella fall asleep.
