JK's POV 

"Kookie, You need to stay quiet for Jana's sake okay sweetie?" 

Tiny me nodded in acceptance to the soft feminine voice but sudden loud shots made it to my ears, making me quickly shut my eyes in panic. 

In no time, I woke up from that traumatic repetitive dream which is, in fact, an unpleasant memory, haunting me since God knows when. 

I used to know someone by the name Jana 'till the age of 2, but sadly things went downhill. 

When I was old enough, my adoptive parents filled me in with what they knew about baby me, but there were things I remember of which they didn't know about, and since I didn't want to bother them, I avoided the subject. 

I sighed loudly and sat up straight on my bed, reaching out for my prescribed bottle of medicine on the nightstand beside it. I took out a pill and gulped it then headed to the bathroom for my daily morning routine. 

After wearing some decent clothes, my phone rang probably being my driver informing me about his arrival, so I cancelled the call and went directly to him. 

"Today is the last day of your tour. Correct me if I'm wrong, sir!" the driver asked. 

"Yes, it definitely is," I said these words with my head resting on my palm while watching the view through the car's dark window. 

My name is Jeon Jungkook. A particularly famous solo idol, who is searching for someone. 

It's a little bit hard, but I'm not going to surrender that easily. I've been on this mission since I was 10 years old. People might think I'm crazy or delusional or worse, running after a mirage of thought. 

I don't care though because I'm gonna find her no matter what. I owe her everything. I owe her my life, my success, my riches. 

The car came to a sudden halt as the driver informed me about our arrival at the building for my schadueled talk show. 

I got out of the car, put on my mask and quickly went inside to avoid catching any fan's attention in the perimeter. A few minutes later, I went to the specified airing room which will film my live show on. Yes, it's a live talk show. 

The MC took the seat opposite to me with multiple cards in his hand. We exchanged smiles and the signal for the airing to start was given. 

"Welcome to our weekly talk show. Today we have a very special guest. And yes I can already hear the loud screams from over here. He indeed is the Jeon Jungkook everyone is drooling over," The MC started off while I shyly smiled. 

"So since this is your first time visiting this show, I'd be helping you out. First, we'll do some Q&A which you'll have to answer with only one word. Some of them are from your fans and some are from our curious staff. Second, I'll choose a topic which I might find interesting to discuss with you," He continued, receiving an accepting hum from me. 

"I'd be anticipating that," I said with a bright smile. 

"What motivated you to become an artist?" He asked. 

A smile found it's way on the corner of my lips as I remembered, but at the same time felt a little pain in my chest. It's not like it's the first time to be asked this question, and my answer always remained the same no matter what. 

"Paradise," was my answer. 

He titled his head in confusion, "That's interesting. We'll have to come back to that later. Anyway, on to the next question. What do you think most of your fans like about you?" 

"My voice, I guess" I giggled while shrugging my shoulders. 

"Are you planning on visiting your home country?" 

I tilted my head in confusion, saying "I-I already live in Korea? I don't understand your question." 

"Ah! I've got sources telling me that you are actually half Korean. Also, some of your fans mentioned that you didn't live your whole life in Korea, correct me if I'm wrong." 

"Oh! You mean that" I sighed and recollected my focus, proceeding "I won't be visiting my home country any time soon since it's not a safe zone. Also, I'm pretty sure my fans won't want me anyway near harm's way," I ended my words with a wink directed to one of the cameras. 

A couple more questions were asked before the first part of the show was done. The MC put the cards he was holding aside and returned his focus to me, starting "Now tell me Jungkook. Who or what is that Paradise you mentioned earlier." 

K-Kookie! W-what are you doing here? It's too dangerous.

"She is someone who saved my life," I replied with a little bit of bitterness in my voice. 

The MC hummed, going further with his questions "She sounds interesting, and where is she?" 

Jungkook. T-that's his name. Please t-takecare of him, he is just a child. 

I squinched my eyes, feeling pressure on my chest area. This topic is always stressing me out, but if I really want to find her, I need to make it public. I need to tell her I'm looking for you Noona. 

I exhaled heavily while saying, "She is somewhere probably siping her tea." 

The MC made an 'O' sound, stating "This sounds like a love story to me. Can you tell us more?" 

You mean a tragic love story between an infant and a grown woman. I don't think so.
