Blind || BTS Jungkook

Chapter 26: Imprisoned

Two Days Later

Aeri's POV

My eyes fluttered open. All I could see in front of me was a white ceiling up in the distance. As soon as I got my eyes to focus and adjust to the brightness, I started observing my surroundings. I was in Taehyung's room again.

I immediately sat up on his bed and soon I winced in pain because of my left arm. I found my left arm was bandaged. Then, on my right arm, I found an IV string attached to my hand through my skin.

I raised my head looking up at the door as I heard the door creak open. The person entering through the door was Taehyung. As soon as he saw me, his eyes widened. He came running to me and laid his hands on my shoulders. "You're awake... are you okay?" he asked and immediately hugged me.

"Where's Jungkook? Is he okay?"

Taehyung's POV

I stayed frozen when she asked me that.

Seriously? She had been unconscious for two days straight but the first thing she talks about was if Jungkook was okay?

I pulled away from the hug, looking at her in the eyes. I spoke to her in a rough tone, "Worry about yourself first."

Ignoring me, she repeated, "Is he okay-"

"Why didn't you tell me anything about your brain tumor?" I inquired, hoping that she would stop talking about him, and worry about herself first.

Aeri's POV

I was shocked as he now knew of it. I calmly said, "You know, huh?"

He eyes were red and getting watery. "Don't worry, I'll help you-"

"I don't need your help," I said sternly, and looked away, tears were pooling in my eyes as well.

After a moment of silence, he gently touched my hands, and softly held onto them. "If you're not going to think about yourself, then think about the baby..."

I turned my gaze to his hands, then I slowly turned my head to look up at him. I said to him, expressionless, "The two of us... will die together. That's how it's gonna work." I instantly looked away from him again with tears that couldn't help but pool in my eyes, blurring my vision.

"Are you crazy!?" he bellowed loudly.

"You don't understand!!" I broke it out to him, staring at him with impatience. Tears finally escaped my eyes as I quietly whispered to him in a brittle tone, "It's too late to fix me now... No one, not even the top doctors in this world can help me anymore... It's almost a game over for me..."

We stayed there in total silence, the only thing that could be heard was our minds. I could tell by looking at his eyes that he pitied me and I... had pity for myself as well. However, I didn't need his sympathy for me at all.

Soon later, I turned my attention to the IV string and tried taking it off my hand. However, as soon as he saw what I was doing he stopped me, "Yah! Are you crazy? What do you think you're doing?"

"Since you don't want to tell me where Jungkook is and how he's doing, I'll go and find him myself."

I shook his hands off me and again tried taking the IV string out of my skin, but Taehyung got a hold of my arms and held them apart so that I wouldn't be able to proceed. "You're not going anywhere," he said, meeting my eyes. "You'll be living in this room from now on."

"No!!" I thundered. "You can't keep me in this nightmare-"

"Stop it!!" he argued back, trying to hold me still. "Don't ever think of escaping again. It would be impossible for you to run away from me again this time, Aeri..."
