He stood before her with a bunch of roses at hand. Smiling from ear to ear, he had heard her short but sweet reply. Yes. He never knew that one little word could make him the happiest man on earth.
It wasn't as if he had asked her to marry him, but he felt as if it could have very well lead to it. The girl of his dreams had answered his awkward confession with the faithful word. Joy stood there with her signature toothy grin with beautiful brown eyes, gradually gathering tears which would later stain her porcelain-like skin.
In her happiness she walked closer to him and hugged him whispering, "Thank you. I don't deserve you."
With a smile on his face, a tear escaped his eye as he hugged her back as tightly as he could with his gentle arms.
And with that, their blissful moments begun to unfold in front of them.
On their third year together, Joy had suddenly collapsed. The ever-agile, Jungkook had been able to catch the falling girl. Grabbing his mobile from his pocket, he had quickly dialled for an ambulance. Joy had never been sick before, she was neither stressed or unhealthy, so Jungkook had no idea what could have caused her to faint. Placing his phone flush against his cheek he begun to talk to the lady on the line.
"Hello, please state your emergency."
"You have to help me. My girlfriend had just collapsed, she's won't wake up," He stated as clearly as possible despite his obviously shaky voice.
"Okay sir, please calm down. I need you to state your name and your current location. We'll send an ambulance to you as soon as possible." The way the lady had spoken irked him. How could she be so calm? Joy could die, how could she sound so calm?
"My name is Jung Jungkook, I am at 3rd level of an apartment complex in 187 Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam." Jungkook had never spoken so fast in his life. The lady on the phone had assured him that the girl would be alright as another wave of panic had begun to resurface.
By the time the ambulance had arrived, Jungkook had let his frustration show. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, Jungkook had let a string of colourful words leave his lips. She was brought out on the stretcher with Jungkook following closely behind, tripping over his own feet in his haste.
Entering the back of the ambulance, Jungkook sat right beside his girlfriend, holding her hand in his. He bent down to her ear and whispered reassuring statements to her, "You're going to be okay. After our trip to the doctors, we'll eat ice cream."
Once taken to the hospital, the nurses had quickly ushered her to a room before professionally blocking of her boyfriend from entering. From behind the closed doors, Jungkook sat on the closest chair and waited in pure agony. He could hear the chaos erupt in the room where the love of his life had just entered.
Doctors could be heard shouting orders to their nurses as machines beeped constantly. Jungkook's legs begun to shake involuntary as his nerves begun to eat away his sanity. Standing up, Jungkook begun to walk from one side of the waiting room to another. He had already called her parents and her sisters on the way to the hospital, so it was no surprise to see her mother running towards him with a look panic painted across her face.
"Jungkook, where is she?" Mrs. Park asked frantically.
"They had taken her in about 30 minutes ago" Jungkook replied, holding the older lady steady afraid that her legs would give way any second.
"What happened?" Mr. Park fired him questions after questions.
Jungkook had hung his head low. He had failed Mr Park, he had promised her father that he would take care of her, yet there she was rushed to the hospital for some unknown reason. He felt as if he was to blame.
