A few days later ;
Young Eun's POV
"Are you sure you're okay now?"
I held onto Daehwi's forearm tightly as we walked out of the hospital. The doctor said that he can be discharged but I just felt uneasy.

He rested his hand on mine and smiled reassuringly.
"Hey, I'm a strong man. I'm fine now."

"Well if you say so" I muttered.

♣︎♣︎♣︎
After sending Daehwi home, I did some deep and serious thinking in my room.

Here I am, pacing around in circles as I bit my lip. I remember that black van. It was Jungkook's van. He was sitting in that van when he came to see me at the airport. Of course, Jungkook has been acting weird lately.

How could he do that to Daehwi? What if it's not him? But what if it is him? What will happen then? Should I report him to the police?

Questions filled up my useless brain and I didn't had answers. It's so frustrating when you're given a question and you can't find the correct answer.

I plopped myself on my bed and finally made my decision.

"Here goes nothing then"

The Next Day
"Has anyone seen Jungkook? Anywhere?"
I asked Rose and Lisa anxiously, biting my finger as I walked back and fourth.

Lisa shook her head while Rose had confusion plastered on her face.
"Nope, why? Did something happened?"
Lisa questioned, worried.

"I don't know about you Lisa but I smell drama. What happened Young Eun? You and Daehwi didn't attend class for the past few days" Rose said, resting her chin on her palm.

"Jungkook too" Lisa added.

I accidentally slammed my hands on the table a little bit too aggressively, causing everyone in the cafeteria to send us glares.
"What? Jungkook was absent too?"
My eyes widened as the two girls nodded.

I had to find out. I couldn't wait anymore. What if he was really the one who hit Daehwi?

I quickly ran out of the cafeteria and started searching the whole school for Jungkook while the two girls just looked at each other, dumbfounded.

"So, no drama? Aw i was expecting something."
Rose pouted.

I've checked every single classroom, corner of the school and even the men's toilet. Still no sign of Jungkook. That's when an idea popped into my mind. Of course, why didn't I thought about this earlier.

I quickly head out to the dark alley behind school, used the same way going down in the big drain to get into Jungkook's underground mansion or whatever that's called.

"Jungkook? Jungkook! I know you're in here, show yourself!"
I kicked open the door just to see Namjoon and the rest of the boys staring at me with an unreadable expression, but no Jungkook.

Namjoon took a step forward to me as I backed up.
"Looking for Jungkook?"
He asked and I simply just nodded aggressively as I was in a hurry for answers.

He eyed at the other boys as if they're using their eyes to communicate so that I can't understand a thing about what they're thinking.

"Show her to him, he's gotta take responsibility for what he has done" Jin then pointed to Jungkook's bedroom, gesturing me to go over. And I did, but hesitantly.

This room brings back bad memories. It was when I entered his room and touched his picture without his permission and he started going gaga and crazy.

This time, I knocked on the door three times and counted to three seconds. If he doesn't open this door in three seconds, I'm leaving because this place is scary af.

Three...

Two...

One...

"Okay, yup I'm leaving. Maybe another time for answers but I'm leaving now."

I quickly unattached my hand from the doorknob but as soon as I was going to turn around, someone caught my wrist and dragged me into the room and shut the door.

I held onto the arm of that person to keep my balance.
Dam those are some muscular arms
But a familiar voice rang in my ears, causing me to look up to that person.
"Young Eun.."

"J-Jungkook.." I stuttered unknowingly as I hurriedly placed my hands on his chest and pushed him away. He stumbled and a feeble whimper escaped his dry lips.

Speaking of which, why does he look like a zombie and why is his lips so dry? Doesn't he always carry the Nivea lip balm? He looks horrible to be honest.

"What are you doing here? Don't you have to take care of your boyfriend Daehwi?"
He said weakly with a scoff, refusing to make eye contact with me.

I took a step forward to him with a raised brow.
"What do you mean take care of Daehwi? He's fine, right?"

His eyes widened,
"Wait, didn't he got into a car accident and he's in the hospital— I-I mean, I didn't knew—"

I pointed my index finger at his chest and took more bold steps towards him, anger boiling in my veins.

"Admit it. You were the one who ran over him and left. You did that purposely didn't you? You wouldn't have known about Daehwi getting into an accident because I have never told anyone!"
I exclaimed with a cracked voice as I was sure that Jungkook was behind all of this mess.

He sighed and took my wrist, dragging me to his bed and sat me down as he took a seat beside me.

I stood up again stubbornly and demanded answers but he pulled me back down. Taking a deep breath in and out, I calmed myself down a little as he exhaled sharply and turned to face me.

"I'll get straight to the points" He finally spoke up after a moment of silence.

"Points? With a 's'? So many poin—"

"Are you going to listen or what?"
He cut me off with obvious annoyance.

I nodded numbly, still trying to calm myself down and hope I don't burst out loud again.

"I know I was cold to you at first but I got really attached to you after getting to know you. After that, everything doesn't feel right and I know I asked you to act as if we're strangers but I couldn't help myself"

My eyes surprisingly softened when I heard his explanation. There was this feeling when he looked at me. His eyes, it was filled with sincerity, gentleness and regret. So I continued hearing him out.

"I'm sorry about everything I've done to you"
Another feeble whimper left his shaking lips, a tear rolled down his cheek.

I was going to wipe his tears but suddenly, his eyes darkened, staring into my soul hard as he took hold of my hand. His grip on my hand tightened. I was scared.

"I'm sorry but you better stay away from Daehwi if you don't want to see me do something crazy again"
