Chapter 23☙

JaeEun's POV

"S-seokjin o-oppa...?" I said with a shaken voice due to the site of my so-called dead brother.

Then everything went dark.

My eyes fluttered open as they met a plain white ceiling. I slowly sat up to see that I was sitting in a hospital bed. I started panicking at the thought of what I last remembered.

'Seokjin oppa! Jungkook got shot- wait where is he!? Is he ok???'

I quickly got off the bed and pulled out the IV tubes out of me, though it was a bit more painful than I thought, I needed to see if Jungkook is ok. As I sprinted to the door, it suddenly opened displaying my mom.

"Mom, where is Jungkook? Is he ok? And what about Seokjin oppo, was he there or am I just-," She cut me off.

"Hey, hey you finally woke up. And slowly, you should get back into the bed, you are weak. We'll discuss the other things later. Now get back into bed and I'll call someone to see you." She said and pointed the bed I was just sitting on.

"But I need to see-," before I could an answer she walked out the door. I let out a sigh and asked back to the bed and laid back down.

'How long have I been out? Probably a couple of hours, maybe a day. I feel a bit light headed though.'

A couple seconds later the door opened revealing a doctor with my mom following behind him. "Ah, good thing you're awake now Miss. JaeEun, I was starting to worry." Dr. Kwon said making me confused.

"Wag at do you mean- how long was I out for?" I asked curiously.

"About 3 days." He said as he grabbed the files from the desk beside me and analyzed them. "It looks like you went into a small coma due to the intense stress of the situation you were in at the time before you fainted. Your mother informed me."

"Wait what about Jungkook, he was shot in the chest? Is he ok?" I asked frantically.

"Ow, Jeon Jungkook? Well, are you related to him? I can't just tell anyone another patients information." He said making me sigh.

"No we're not related but he is my really close friend, and he got shot in front of me before u fainted, soOOoo... it would be nice to know if he is still ALIVE or NOT!" I said with frustration.

'Who the fuck does he think I am?! Why would I ask to curiously if I didn't know him that well?'

"Ok, ok, please calm down miss, it's just part of our protocol. But due to the excessive blood loss and the fact that the bulled basically punctured his right lung, he is in a pretty critical state but he is still alive. Jungkook is in a coma right now and we don't know when he will wake up. It could be days, weeks, or even months. But bear with us, we are doing our best to keep his body in a good state for a faster recovery." He bowed and left the room as my mom care and sat on the bed next to me.

"What about Seokjin oppa?! I saw him! I know it! Tell me where he is." I demanded.

She let out a loud sigh and said, "Yes, he is still alive, actually he was never dead. The accident was made up..." She had a guilty look on her face as I stared at her in disbelief.

"W-why would you keep this from me?!?! Tell me a valid reason that this was a good idea to not tell me this??!! I was literally homeless for 2 months before this lady found me and let me stay in her place!! SO TELL ME WHAT WAS YOUR REASON!" I yelled out in frustration not caring that I was in a hospital.

"Listen, calm down and I will tell you everything. You know when your father and I used to fight? Well, it was because of money that he wouldn't give me so that I can get the necessary things for you and Seokjin, your father even refused to pay the school fees. So I borrowed money from Mr. Kim and when I failed to return the money they threatened to harm you two, that's when I asked Seokjin to 'run' away with you and make it seem like we didn't know. But I did know just not your father." She said and took a deep breath.

"I now realize that that was a bad idea because they found Seokjin and blackmailed me into making a deal. It was the day we faked his accident, I basically found him first and told him that we had to fake his death but he disagreed at first. Only when I told him that Mr. Kim said that he would kill you if we tell anyone about when he did, and if we complied to his terms he would make sure you met no harm." She finally finished her story.

"But he didn't keep his side of the deal, I was homeless, kidnapped, and raped. And those were mostly caused by Mr. Kim!" I ranted to her.

"I didn't know those things happened to you! That's why I took matters into my own hands since your father didn't care about you guys!" Mom explained.

"Ok, so where is Seokjin oppa now? AND when I saw you and Dad outside my apartment for the first time in years why were so... UGH! I don't know, why were you acting like a bitch!?" I said and she was a bit taken back when I swore.

"That's because the 2 men who were with me were working for Mr. Kim! He said if I didn't bring you to him he would kill you and seokjin. And by the way, I hadn't seen Seokjin since to the fake accident so I thought Mr. Kim did something to him until he told me that he would kill him if I didn't bring you." Mom paused as I saw her eyes getting watery. "All I've ever wanted to do was protect my children. But I ended up being the worst mother ever..." She looked down as tears spilled out of her eyes.

"Ok, ok, don't cry. You aren't a bad mother. All you did was try and protect your children but other people got in the way. But where is seokjin oppa? I want to meet him." I said patting her back to comfort her.

"He was here most of the time looking after you but I sent him home because he wasn't resting much. I'll call him though, and you can go visit Jungkook. His room is down the hall, room 204." Mom said, grabbed her phone out of her purse and went out of the hospital room.

I slowly got out of the bed and went out of the room, heading towards Jungkooks room. I was pretty nervous and hoping that what the doctor said wasn't true. As I walked along the long narrow hallway, I thought to myself about my feelings.

'I know my feeling for him are more than just like a friend relationship, but I don't exactly know what they are... Who am I kidding, it's probably love- Do I love Jungkook?' I thought with uncertainty.
