Part-48

"What is... this feeling...?"

Taehyung took a deep breath as he got up from bed and left his room. He walked to Bella's room and knocked gently on the door, remembering she was supposed to stay there tonight.

No response.

He slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside. His eyes scanned the room — but it was empty.

A confused expression crossed his face as he stepped back out. Returning to his room, he sat on the bed, stomping his foot anxiously. He bit his lower lip, his mind racing. The uneasiness in his chest grew stronger — something didn't feel right. It felt like Bella was in danger.

Unable to shake off the feeling, he lay back on the bed, but his heart still pounded with restless anxiety. After a few seconds, he sat up again, took a deep sigh, grabbed his car keys, and rushed out of the house. He didn't check the time. He didn't tell his mother. He just left — driven by instinct.

Meanwhile, Bella's thighs and shoulder were badly injured, bleeding heavily. She had somehow managed to crawl out of the deep ditch, gritting her teeth through the pain. Tears flowed freely from her eyes as she clung to a tree to stand. Blood still ran from her wounds, soaking her clothes.

She staggered down the road, her eyes tightly shut at times to endure the pain. Her steps were small and weak, but she kept moving — seeking any sign of safety nearby.

Jungkook arrived in the area where her phone's last location had pinged. He stopped the car abruptly and ran out, his heart racing. He searched frantically in all directions — but Bella was nowhere to be seen.

He didn't know her phone had fallen into the ditch, the signal was pointing to an empty spot.

Just as panic began to grip him, his eyes caught something on the road — fresh drops of blood.

His heart skipped a beat.

His pulse spiking. The moment his eyes landed on the blood, a cold dread ran through him. His heart was giving him the red signal that —  it is Bella's blood. Without wasting another second, he took off running, following the blood trail.

And then, he saw her.

Bella was limping along the road, her dress stained in blood. His breath caught in his throat. His heart dropped at the sight.

"Heaven!!!" he shouted, his voice cracking with fear as he sprinted toward her.

Bella stopped when she heard him. She turned slowly, her tear-filled eyes meeting his. "K-Kook…"

Her lips trembled. She took a few steps forward, but her entire body was shaking in pain.

Jungkook ran faster and, as he neared her, Bella weakly opened her arms.

Without hesitation, he wrapped her in a tight embrace. Bella closed her eyes and let her trembling arms fall around his neck. Jungkook pulled her closer by the waist, holding her like he never wanted to let go.

She sobbed in his arms while Jungkook's heart pounded wildly. "Heaven… my dear Heaven…"

"J-Jungko—" she tried to speak — but before she could say another word, her body gave out in his arms. Her head slumped onto his shoulder.

His eyes widened.

"Heaven?!" he panicked, pulling her face away gently and patting her cheeks. "Heaven!! Open your eyes!! Heaven!!"

At the Hospital

Jungkook paced anxiously outside Bella's hospital room as the doctors continued her examination inside. His fingers tugged at his sleeves, and his eyes flicked toward the door every few seconds.
