Jungkook - Please Remember...

It was a late afternoon and Jungkook just got back to the dorm from his walk around the park endlessly in circles right after hearing from Minji's bestfriend about his girlfriend's situation. He went straight to his room without making his presence known to his hyungs in the studio room, afraid that if he sees them, he'll just break down in tears, looking like a helpless boy that he is.

He locked himself in his room, breaking down in tears as he was safe inside his four walled sanctuary. He let himself embrace the pain of having someone you love suffering, wishing you were in their shoes, taking the pain away. But you can't. You're powerless and helpless. There's nothing you can do.

"Minji ah..." he cried her name out in pain, clutching on his chest.

He had his back resting on his door, slowly sliding down until he was sitting on the floor, still feeling the throbbing of his heart and the twisting of his insides.

He felt weak at the moment. He hates the feeling of being helpless and not being able to do anything. Especially for that one girl that he promised to protect with all his life. He can't do anything with his girl's life on the line. He felt useless and pathetic.

Poor thing's making things hard for himself when he never had control of this in the first place.

"Jungkook ah?" A voice was heard from outside, making the young lad get a grip on himself, wiping out the tears as he tries to stand up. He wiped his face with his bare hands, hoping that he'd done enough before opening the door.

"Where have you bee- What happened? Are you okay?" he got bombarded by questions by one of his member who treated him as his own brother, Park Jimin.

"Aniya, I'm fine. What's up hyung?" Jungkook asked, sniffing.

"Did you cry?" he asked, doubting Jungkook's statement.

"No. I did not." He said, avoiding his hyung's gaze discreetly.

"You're sniffing."

"It's my rhinitis." He argued back.

His hyung sighed in defeat. His stubborn dongsaeng never gives up.

"The others are in the studio, talking about the upcoming album. Come on." He said, grabbing the younger one's wrist, dragging him to the room where the others were while Jungkook wipes his remaining tears, still thinking of his girlfriend.

~ The next day ~

"Hey..." Minji said quietly as she lay down in her hospital bed.

"I'm sorry..." Jungkook's voice was soft, but it was breaking. "I didn't know-"

"Shhh...Don't be..." she said, taking his hand in her fragile ones with dextrose and such connected to it. "I'm supposed to be the one apologizing..."

Tears suddenly fell from the young lad's eyes, rolling down his cheeks as he sees the girl he loves with pail lips and thin arms, her facial features saying she was so exhausted but her lips still forming a smile despite everything.

"Jagi, Saranghae" he whispered in a cracking voice, suddenly giving in as he cried on the shoulder of the young girl, embracing her fragile body carefully, tenderly but needfully.

"Nado jjinja saranghae." She whispered, wrapping her arms around him.

"Promise me you'll recover..." He whispered shakily.

"Be strong." She said. "I'll be okay." She smiled encouragingly, hoping that Jungkook would feel better.

Jungkook got back the dorm, taking his personal DSLR in his hands as he scrolls over the pictures he took when they were still in high school.

Walking down the street, Minji was holding her bag strap as she looked down on her shoes, covering her beautiful face by her straight, silky hair. Pre-occupied by her thoughts, she didn't notice the guy following her cheekily with a grin that cannot be wiped off his face.
