[Chapter 34] "What's wrong?"

"I'm letting him in!" He shouts shutting the door.

A few minutes later a confused looking Taehyung enters the room. He looks back at the door as he then continues to walk towards me.

"Hey! What's wrong?" I ask, lifting a brow.

"Is your brother alright? He asked me to wait outside and I have been waiting for almost three hours now and when I decide that I should go grab something to eat he pushed me forcefully inside?!" He shakes his head.

I tilt my head, JUNGKOOK YOU PEST!

"Um..so uh," it's awkward!!!
Look away!

"Jennie," I look at him now, expecting him to continue.

"What's wrong?" He asks.

"Nothing, really," I start playing with my fingers. A little habit I had developed lately. Whenever I was unsure of what I was doing or maybe if I had been caught red-handed, I would do this. But this time the needles prick me and I stop to look up at Taehyung. 

"H-how's she?" I stutter.

"Who?" He pushes further.

"She, I mean when I last saw her s-she was holding a gun,"I say.

"Yea and she shot you," he looks away.

"Don't act stupid, Tae," I ask seriously.

"She shot herself, din't she?" I ask.

His eyes turn large and he nods sadly.
My eyes start brimming with tears but I don't let them fall. Somehow I felt at fault but I knew that she would have only hurt me more.

"S-so what happened? D-did she surv-"

"I'm sorry Jennie," he looks at me, "we tried our best, she was rushed to the hospital but we couldn't save her, she couldn't even survive the ride, the blow was huge and from a very short range," his eyes too are now filled with tears, threatening to fall.

Finally I let myself cry, yes she was a bad woman. Someone who made my days worser but atleast she brought me into this world. I hated her but no one deserves to die and that I had learnt a long time ago. My dad, though he was rude at times, shouted, cursed but he din't deserve to die. No one deserves to.
Neither did she nor did my dad. But she brought her own downfall and when she had decided that it was time to stop I couldn't have stopped her.

She took away some precious things from me but when she took away her own life I couldn't continue to blame her. So I needed to stop. So, I let myself break down in Taehyung's arms. He wrapped his arms around me stiffly and I wailed. His simple presence gave me strength.

Jungkook entered the room, panicked but when Taehyung assured him that he would take care of me Jungkook left with a nod.

After hours of staying silent and thinking over everything that happened I decided to move around a little. This place made me feel stuffed.

"Jungkook let's go for a walk,"I say to the dork sitting on the couch in the room, his legs placed comfortably on a chair as he continue to tap away on his phone.

"Yah!" I shout when he doesn't reply but neither does that bother him.

"Who the fuck are you texting?!" I shout.

"Noona! It's a fucking hospital can you stop cursing," I glare at him as he now finally shifts his attention.

"Let's go for a walk," I mutter.

"I'm busy I'll tell Taehyung hyung to go with you," he looks back into his phone.

"Where's Tae?" I ask.

"Ah..he said he is going to meet his family, he'll be here in a few min- woah he's here!" Jungkook smiles as a tired looking Taehyung enters the room.

"Hi," he says unenthusiastically as he settles on the couch beside Jungkook.

"Yah! I'm the patient and I'm supposed to look tired!! Why do you guys look like you just stayed up for nights without eating?!?" I ask, bewildered.

They sigh in unison and I shake my head in disapproval.

"Can one of you move your damn legs and fucking help me to walk?!"

"Noona! Stop cursing!" Jungkook shouts.

"Yah! Kook you better fuc-"

"Let's go, I'll help you," Taehyung cuts me off as he stands up to help me.
