"Mrs. Heo is still crying. I don't know what to say to calm her down," Seokjin said sadly to his friends. Namjoon held his shoulder and made Seokjin lean his head onto him.

Their eyes were puffy from crying. No one has eaten yet and everyone looks so sad. Their supposed to be happy picnic turned into a nightmare.

"Let her cry. She must be shocked about what happened," Jimin said and sat down beside Jungkook who is still crying too. "Stop crying Kookie," Jungkook looked at him with such sad eyes. The maknae has gotten very close to Jihyeon so it's understandable why does Jungkook is still crying.

"Guys," Taehyung called out. All of them looked at him. "I bought some water and steamed buns for us after I talked to the doctor," he faintly smiled and gave the food to his friends.

"What did the doctor said?" Hoseok asked.

"Jihyeon has a problem in her heart. I don't know what kind of disease is that but the doctor said that Jihyeon is not allowed to feel too much emotions. It's a good thing that we brought her immediately to the hospital, but did something happened before we arrived few hours ago at the park?" Taehyung said but no one answered like their mouths are sealed.

"Everything was fine..." Namjoon said while shaking his head. They stayed silent as they tried to think of something that might triggered Jihyeon.

"She was so happy," Jisoo said in a low voice. They instantly looked at her. "The day when we went to the amusement park, when we all got home, Jihyeon called me. Telling that she was so happy because at last, the two of you became a couple. She even cried in happiness but the call ended when I heard rapid short breaths. M-maybe it's the same reason b-but I'm not really sure," She said that made Jungkook cry even more.

Taehyung hugged Jungkook and drew circles at his back to calm him down. They suddenly felt guilty, thinking that they are the reason why Jihyeon is in the hospital.

A few minutes later, a couple in their late 40's walked to them and they instantly stood up, bowing a bit. "The doctor said that you guys can go inside her room now," the man said.

"Oh, that's a great thing but Mr. and Mrs. Heo, we think that you should visit your daughter first," Seokjin politely said as he eyed Taehyung who has his right arm wrapped around Jungkook's waist because Jihyeon's parents were looking at them suspiciously. Jungkook sensed it and he quickly removed Taehyung's arms and just pretended that he's wiping his tears.

"No, we should go home first because my wife can't really look at Jihyeon in that state. So I guess that we'll be going now." He said and one of them bowed at them. "And," he trailed off that made the group of friends look at him. "Thank you for befriending Jihyeon. It means a lot since you are her first friends,"

Everyone has their mouth slightly opened until Mr. and Mrs. Heo managed to go out of the hospital. Jungkook didn't waste any time and quickly but quietly barged in inside Jihyeon's room. His friends were also quick to follow Jungkook. And there, they saw Jihyeon lying on a bed and wearing a hospital gown.

"Jihyeon," Taehyung muttered sadly as they walk closer to Jihyeon. Jisoo bit her lip and turned around, not wanting to see Jihyeon in that kind of state.

No one talked the whole time. They just sat still and stared at the unconcious Jihyeon. It's hard for them since it's their first time to have a close friend that has a serious disease.

Thoughts flooded Jungkook's mind. Almost all of it were occupied by nervousness because of Jihyeon, and the rest were about him and Taehyung. He remembered how Mr. an Mrs. Heo looked at them suspiciously when they saw that he's leaning on Taehyung's shoulder a while ago. He can't help but to think that their relationship is a secret one since Jihyeon is still Taehyung's fiancé. His heart ache at the thought as he frown, but suddenly, he saw Jihyeon's finger moved. He quickly walked to Jihyeon and held her hand. Jisoo followed him and they looked at Jihyeon.
