"Never say goodbye, because saying goodbye means going away, and going away means forgetting." ~ Peter Pan

"Jeon Jungkook!" she slides the white door opened shouting his name out of anxiety but, no response. He was helplessly sleeping on the white bed in a white attire looking restless. Slowly her steps brought her closer to the bed, scanning his figure with glossy eyes, a slight scratch on his left cheek, a fully bandage right hand up to his elbow, her fragile heart couldn't resist but to feel the exact pain.

The second tragedy after the night she was almost raped by a nameless man two days ago. Jungkook stayed by her side the whole time since she was still in a trauma to be left alone. However, today, he had an important meeting regarding his next project. He couldn't help but to attend the meeting. A few hours later, Jiwon received a phone call stating that Jungkook had an accident while crossing the road with a bouquet of red roses in his hand.

She sprinted to the said hospital with tears flowing down her cheeks, she kept on praying for his safety, the events that they had together was replaying through her thoughts like a broken record. She still has many things to tell him, to share with him, the truth yet untold, the feelings yet confess, she wants him to know how much she cares, before everything ends.

And now, she was standing next to him, holding his cold hands tight against her warm hands, trying to find strength from him, she bit her bottom lips to not make any weeping sound, seeing him weakly laying on the bed broke her heart. But the truth she was about to learn later was more tear-jerking. The ringtone from her phone disturb the silence of the dull room. A known number appeared on the screen making her fingers shivered.

"..." she picked up the call but couldn't bring herself for a simple greeting as if a huge lump was stuck inside her throat.

"Jiwon-shi, is that you? Surprise surprise, you seem speechless," Mrs. Jeon was on the line, "Love what you are looking right now? Just to let you know, you were apart of the reason he was laying in the hospital bed. Now, come and meet me at the restaurant across the hospital! You better hurry before the next disaster launches," she laughed hysterically knowing that she was almost the winner.

"You never believe me, don't you? You thought I was only joking around, playing playground, that's why you ignored my words, right? I was only planning to hurt you but, where's the thrill? Both of you need to learn the lesson. How's last night, did you enjoy them? Or should I change the game, how about another round, Jiwon-shi? Sounds fun, doesn't it?" she scoffed and shoot her with a pair of heartless eyes.

Jiwon shook her head to respond. She was trembling nervously by her words, merely understanding what she meant. "Please, don't. I'm sorry. I am really sorry. Don't hurt him anymore." She was terrified by what fate awaits her but, having her beloved husband to share the pain hurts her the most.

"Then, do as I say. Leave him. Stay away from him. And the last thing you must do is, divorce him. With that, I'll guarantee he won't ever get hurt anymore. So, Jiwon-shi, what do you say?"

She felt like a huge boulder was being thrown on her, leaving her breathless against the weight, laying on the ground ruthlessly, she couldn't do anything but weep on her misfortune. She nodded her head in agreement. "What should I do?"

"Easy. Leave the country. Move faraway. Disappear. I heard that you were offered to work in Sydney for a few months. Take it. Just do anything so that he won't ever be seeing you any longer. But don't you ever tell him or let him know your whereabouts. I dare you. You will see the best of me if you didn't take my warning seriously. I'll give you a week from now. I hope to hear good news from you." She stood up, grabbing her purse harshly in front of Jiwon, and sprinted out the restaurant.
