"Hi Jungkook, good to see you again! How are you today?" The receptionist kindly asks.

"I'm good thank you! Good to see you too, Ms. Kim." Jungkook answers with a smile.

Jungkook visits his uncle in the hospital everyday. His uncle suffers from alzheimer one year ago, and everyday it's getting worse, his uncle barely remembers his family members, including Jungkook.

Jungkook knocks on the door, he then turns the door knob and walks inside.

"Hey uncle, how are you-" Jungkook's about to ask but got cut off.

"I'm sorry, do I know you?" Jungkook's uncle tilted his head in confusion.

"Uncle, I'm Jungkook, your nephew." Jungkook bitterly smiles.

Jungkook's uncle paused for few seconds, then he remembers, "Oh, hi Jungkookie! How's school today?" He excitely asked.

"It's alright, the usual." Jungkook shrugs his shoulders.

"I know high school is tough, remember don't put too much stress yourself okay?"

"Okay. Oh by the way, I brought your favourite food, let's have some before it gets cold." Jungkook sadly smile.

In fact, Jungkook has graduated from high school, right now he's in his second year at his college. Jungkook loves to sing and dance since he was a child, in order to achieve his goal, he studies music in his college.

Thirty minutes later, Ms. Kim came in to inform them that it's time for Jungkook's uncle to rest, Jungkook packed up his things and waved his uncle goodbye before he left the room.

In the hallway, Jungkook calls his mother as informing her about his uncle's current conditions.

"Hey mom, I'm on my way home right now." Jungkook said.

"Okay, how's your uncle?" His mom asked in concern tone.

"He's doing fine, but..." Jungkook tries to held back his tear when he answers.

"But?"

"The first moment when I see him, he can't remember me..." Jungkook's voice starts to crack.

"Oh, sweetie, I'm really sorry to hear that...but I'm glad that you are willing to visit him everyday, I'm sure your uncle is happy to see you." His mom tries to comfort his son.

"Yea I can tell that uncle is being very comfortable at the hospital since everyone arounds him treats him very well." Jungkook said.

"Oh that's good news to hear, your uncle never changes, always a talkative person." His mom chuckles.

"Haha, yea I agree." Jungkook smiles.

Suddenly, Jungkook hears someone's singing, echoing in the hallway.

"Mom, I gotta go, I'll call you once I got home, okay?" Jungkook starts pacing around.

"Alright sweetie, be safe on your way home." His mom said.

"Yea I will, see you later." Jungkook hang up and immediately run towards the voice where it was coming from.

After a few turns in the hallway, Jungkook hides behind a pole, peeking at the boy whom the voice he heard from. The boy is standing beside the window, staring out the sight, he looks ethereal, with his wavy brown hair, with his husky singing voice.

At a sudden, the boy stops singing. He turns his head towards Jungkook's direction. Jungkook immediately hides.

"There's no need to hide, I can hear your footsteps at the moment when you're here." The boy speaks in a cold tone.

Jungkook lets out a sigh, walks out from the pole, slowly approach to the boy.

"How can I help you?" The boy asked without looking right at Jungkook.

"Actually, I heard someone singing, and guess now I'm here" Jungkook answered in confidence.

The boy sighed. "What do you want from me?"

"Umm...I just want to say I like your...voice..." Jungkook spoke in a nervous tone.

"Oh, thank you." The boy still answers in a cold tone. "And anything else I can help you? If not, then get lost."

"Wait...why? I just want to talk with you." Jungkook said in confusion.

"I'm fine with my own, I don't need anyone to talk to." The boy answered.

"But-"

"Enough! Leave me alone!" The boy raises his tone.

"Why? I have no intention to hurt y-" Jungkook tries to convince him.

"Because I don't trust you, or even anyone..." The boy turns his back towards him and walks into a room.

Jungkook was confused, he wonders why is he being so resistent.

--

When he gets back home, his mind still flooded with the boy's encounter, especially his vocal. Jungkook is like spacing out, slowly dragging himself heading straight to his room, lying on his bed. During the night, he stares at the ceiling, in a deep process of thinking...
