Don't Let The Memory Fade [ Yoonmin X Taekook ]

11 - Mended Hearts and Broken Hearts

Jungkook POV

Flashback

The traffic light turned green and I started my car. My life is a mess. I just wanted to scream so loud. I just wanted to disappear. Just then the car in front of me stopped suddenly. My reflex was to slow and eventually my car hit the one in the front. My car flew to the sky and as most movies or stories potray it, you don't feel like your life is about to end.

In fact, you'll feel free. You take a moment to think about what's happening. You feel no pain. Almost like your brain has gone numb. Just before the car hit the ground, I could hear the radio on my car still playing, I could still hear the screams of the people outside, I could hear horns from cars behind us. What now? Is this how it'll end?

Yoongi POV

Flashback

I was back into my senses as I nearly got run over by a car. "Concentrate on the road Yoongi!" I thought to myself. Turns out I took the wrong way and now I don't think I'll make it into the bus station on time. Guess I'll have to walk till I can find a cab. I noticed the pedestrian signal that was about to turn red, so I made run to cross the road. Unfortunately, it turned red before I could reach there. The road was pretty empty though. The scene that was about unfold was something I never predicted. A car flying over another car and landing upside down. Whoever is in there will surely be injured really bad.

People went rushing to take the person inside the car. I just went near and just peeked in because honestly I didn't want to get involved but fate had other plans, everything blurred out as I saw the bleeding mess in front of me. It was Jungkook. My mind just went blank after that. All the noise was distorted including my vision. I shoved myself near the car and moved anyone in my way. The glass of the car was already broken. I opened the door and thankfully it wasn't jammed. The first thing I checked was Jungkook's pulse. It was throbbing but slowly. "Yoongi hyung..?" Jungkook muttered out. "I'm right here Jungkook. You're gonna be just fine. We're gonna get you out of here." I said trying to give Jungkook hope. There were tears coming out his eyes but I don't think Jungkook knew that himself.

"No, hyung leave me here. Go tell Taehyung, I love him. I love him so much. Tell him I never meant to make him feel imperfect or useless. Tell him to find someone better than me." Jungkook managed to let out. I looked around to see all the people surrounding us to see them look at me as if a movie was rolling in the theatre. "SOMEBODY CALL THE AMBULANCE!" I screamed at them and quickly they started rummaging through their phones. I got Jungkook out and maintained his breathing and a stable conversation, not alerting him in any way till the ambulance arrived.

Jimin POV

Yoongi told me everything that happened. And we were all waiting for Jungkook to be moved to his separate room. I was searching for Taehyung but he was nowhere to be found. I asked Jin and Yoongi, they both had no idea. I went inside the men's washroom and saw him washing his face. He has been ignoring me all day saying he was the reason Jungkook got hit.
"Taehyung." I called out to him. "Just please leave me alone." He uttered looking at himself in the mirror. "No! Look Taehyung, you can't keep beating yourself for fate's decision. I'm not saying Jungkook should have gotten hit but over thinking and just blaming yourself is just stupid." I looked up at Taehyung holding his hand. He was chewing on his lip.

"I told Jungkook to get out of my house and just leave. If I wasn't so selfish, he wouldn't be in pain now." Taehyung replied a bit more calm. "You acted in the moment. You did not know the consequence. You couldn't predict the future. We're all here for you and Jungkook. Jungkook wouldn't want to see you cry over him. Okay? Did you eat? Let's go get some coffee from the canteen." I said smiling. As we both got out, we saw Dr. Choi talk to Jin and Yoongi before leaving. We were very anxious to go ask and question if we even wanted to know. Either way we went up to them and asked them what the doctor said.

Third Persons POV

"He said Jungkook was completely fine but he needs a three month recovery. He broke is right arm and fractured his left hip. He has to learn how to walk again." Jin said. "Any two of us have to look after Jungkook through out his recovery as bystander." Yoongi added. "I'm staying with him." Taehyung spoke out. "But....taehyung you need time to practise for the nationals. There are gonna be really hard competers." Jin reminded.

"It doesn't matter. All that matters to me right now is Jungkook and I will do whatever it takes to see him healthy again. Screw nationals, I'm not participating." Taehyung said with much determination. "Just make sure your making the right decision." Jin said. "Then, why don't you guys carry on. Taehyung and I will stay here for the night." Jin added.

Taehyung POV

Jin and I entered Jungkook's room. "Oh, I'll go get us something to eat. You can sleep in the couch if you want." Jin spoke out. I nodded. As he went out, I observed Jungkook's face closely. How calm and small it was. He still had a little pout along with steady and gentle breaths. I took a hold of his free hand and placed it on my forehead. "Jungkook, I am so sorry. I love you...." I whispered before letting my tears roll down. Soon, I  fell asleep holding his palm.

Third Persons POV

"Sorry if it took so long, you won't believe the queue in the canteen." Jin said barging into the room but soon lowered his voice. He put the food on the small table beside Jungkook and looked at how Taehyung was holding onto Jungkook's hand. Jin smiled to himself before putting a blanket on top of Taehyung and making himself comfortable in the couch which was rather small for him.
