Revenge. A word that can blindfold people and prevent them from seeing the light around them. It can destroy lives and love. It's not meant to be kept in the heart but sometimes it just stays there.
Jungkook could never forgive the person who destr...

"It's difficult to hope when all you can see is darkness. It's difficult to try when there is no one to cheer you up. I.....I can't do this anymore Kook. Please come back to me. Please take me in your arms and protect me from this world Kook. Ple......Please."
"I'm sorry I was late." Jungkook whispered listening to the voice message for the nth time. He was in his room without Taehyung and this fact was eating him up from inside. He had to leave the hospital for Haneul because the baby wouldn't stay away from him and he couldn't be left in the hospital for long.
I have already disappointed Taehyung so much. I can't disappoint him more by not taking care of our son properly. He had thought to himself while walking out of the ICU reluctantly. His heart was aching while leaving his husband but thankfully Jimin and Yoongi had volunteered to stay at the hospital through the night.
One relief for him in that dire sitch!
Jungkook sighed whilst thinking about everything that had happened in the past couple of days. He couldn't help but realise how foolish he had been all this time. How could he not comprehend Taehyung's situation? How could he not see through the eyes that he had loved so dearly?
A loud sniffle escaped his mouth as he remembered how cold he had been to the other while leaving him all alone to fend for himself. He could have confronted Taehyung like a good husband but he chose to take the coward's way out. And now they were paying the price for it.
The realization of it all was a weight too heavy for him to carry. The guilt of his actions was crushing his soul with it's bare hands.
With a shaking frame, he slowly got up from the bed and walked towards the crib. Carefully he took Haneul in his arms and went back to his original position. The sudden soothing night air took his attention and guided him to glance towards the window. And there he saw him. Sitting on the window seating in all his glory. He was looking right at them with tears in his eyes.
"Are you real?" Jungkook whispered. Taehyung shook his in a no. Ofcourse he was not real. He was just a work of Jungkook's desperation. An image to give him some comfort and he was was going to take every ounce of it. "Do.....do you hate me Tae?" He asked hugging the baby closer to his chest.
Taehyung shook his head again. He could never hate him. "Then why are you not opening your eyes? Why u...s everyone sa...ying that you w....ill leave.....leave us? Why love?" He cried and Taehyung cried with him. "Please come back." The ravenette kept crying in pain. He had lost his confidence today. He cried and cried with no one to comfort him. Slowly his eyes closed off and he slept in a not so peaceful sleep holding onto the little boy for dear life.
It was sad to see how a special day had turned into a nightmare in just a few seconds. Christmas for them would never be the same ever again.

Hyunsik was sitting in the parlour waiting for Jungkook to come downstairs. He had come to the Jeon mansion early the next morning because he had something very important to tell them. Something that had shaken him to the core.
"Mr. Jeon." He stood up and greeted Jungkook who was coming down the stairs. "I'm sorry for the delay. I was feeding Haneul." Jungkook said but his voice lacked emotions. His heartbroken state was clearly visible to everyone around him.
The ravenette gestured Hyunsik to take a seat and sat opposite to him as well. All the family members were present there too. Including Ji-ung who had been called right on the day when Taehyung was taken to the hospital. "I want you all to be calm while I tell you this." The doctor started.
"When I checked on Taehyung that day his pulse was very feeble along with his breathing but something didn't feel right to me. His pupils were too dilated. So before leaving the room I had sneaked out the glass of water kept on one of the side tables. I really wanted my gut feeling to be a lie but it's not. The glass of water had traces of a drug that puts the heart's electrical system into a deadly overdrive. His heart was already weak and this was the reason why he suffered so much. His heart had stopped in the ambulance. If we were late then even that little opportunity of reviving him would have gone."
These words sucked out all the air from the ravenette's lungs. This was too much. Why was fate playing such cruel games with him? "There must be some mis...." But before he could say more Hyunsik cut him off.
"No Mr. Jeon. This is not a misunderstanding. I've thoroughly checked everything. The drug is very much present in that glass of water. You can come to the lab with me if you want to confirm it." The confidence in his voice was enough proof for everyone.
This revelation made Jungkook's mind a mess. Did he try to take his own life? Was it a suicide attempt? No! It can't be. He would never leave us alone. He would never. These thoughts were enough to make him insane but he kept himself together. He had faith that Taehyung would never do that to him. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and then a sudden realisation hit him.
"The baby monitor." He shouted getting up from his seat. Jungkook ran towards his room skipping two stairs with every step. Entering inside he glanced towards the camera and microphone that were attached to one of the walls. It was something Taehyung had installed to keep an eye on Haneul from other places.
The ravenette ran towards a cabinet and took out a laptop from inside it. He opened an app that automatically stored all the recordings from the baby monitor everyday. Scrolling through the screen he searched for the recording from the day before Christmas.
Others had entered inside the room as well. They all stood behind Jungkook waiting for him to play the video. Taking in a deep breath the ravenette clicked on the play button. With each passing second the truth was revealed. Everyone forgot to breathe. Jungkook fell down on his knees. He stared at the screen with wide eyes. Tears already staining his cheeks.
His Taehyung did not suffer from a heart attack. Someone was trying to murder him.
