The Perfect Secret (Complete)

Chapter 15

"JungKook?" Jimin called.

I blinked my eyes a few times before responding, "Wha-what the hell?"

"Dad, he's awake!" Jimin nearly shouted.

I found myself staring up into the brightest lights that I had ever seen. They were, literally, burning my eyes out of my head. I shaded them, quickly, as I turned away. Facing my mom, who was face to face with me, was beginning to tear up.

"How are you feeling, Kookie?" she asked me.

I was beyond confused. Why would she ask me that? I wasn't sure of where I even was. I realized a repetitive beeping, from a machine, coming from the left of me. I slowly turned to see a heart monitor, staring back at me. Seeing that worried me greatly. I looked down at myself, in curiousity. Slightly pulling back the blanket, a hospital gown, began to reveal itself.

"Mom?" I said franticly,"What's going on?"

Forcing me back onto the bed, my mom stroked my hair while she kissed my forehead.

My breathing became heavier, the more scared I became, "I don't understand. Please tell me what's going on, mom."

I looked to a corner of a room and saw Jimin, who had his face buried in Hoseok's chest. I could hear his muffled whimpering. That's when I knew something was wrong.

"What the hell is-," I felt a sharp pain that, automatically, brought tears to my eyes, "Argh!"

I snatched the gown up, over my chest and revealed a bloody bandage on the right side of my body. Before anything was even explained, I began to bawl like a small child.

I tried to calm down enough to speak, "Mom, what is this?"

"Kookie, you need to calm yourself, okay? Please relax," my mom tried to soothe me.

"Deep breaths son," my dad joined in.

My mom rested her head against my forehead as she softly said, "You were stabbed, Jungkook."

"Mother fucker!" I roared as I jabbed Jiyong's left jaw.

My punch sent Jiyong flying back into his friends. While Jiyong stumbled back onto his feet, his taller friend ejected a knife from his pocket. Seeing the knife made my dad attack. Within a second, everything got crazy. The store clerk didn't even know what to do, other than watch. A few customers pulled out their phones to film the action.

With my dad, scuffling for the knife and Jimin keeping Jiyong's other friend in a suffocating headlock, I kept my focus on Jiyong. Frankly, I had lost sight of him. I soon noticed that the clothes racks were rattling, near the door.

"JungKook, no!" I heard Jimin shout.

I was chasing after Jiyong, who had ran out of the store. Gaining up on him, I started to reach out for his hair. Just when I had him in my reach, I was snatched back and then thrown to the hard pavement. Luckily, my head didn't connect to the ground. Above me hovered one of Jiyong's friends. The one who had the knife. I could see his right foot slowly rise up, beside my head. I already knew what his intentions were.

Rolling from under is dark shadow, I sprung up and attempted to punch him. Frankly, I missed and was thrown up against a brick wall.

Damn, this guy is strong, I said to myself, worryingly.

I knew I wasn't going to be able to beat this guy alone. He was of similar height but a lot more muscular than I. Smacking me around as if I was his bitch, he taunted me.
