Chapter 42

"Tzuyu!" Jungkook watched Tzuyu looking up from her phone to him.

"Hey, Jungkook."

"You up for dinner tonight?"

"AAHH!" Jungkook screamed out, tears gliding down his face, the burning becoming unbearable as the doctor and nurses ran to him.

"Hey, girlfriend." Jungkook kissed Tzuyu's cheeks, smiling.

"Oh my god, you're still saying that."

"AH!" His hold on his head became stronger when a vivid memory of Tzuyu telling Jungkook about her friend, Taehyung, popped up.

"It's Taehyung, he's drunk somewhere, I need to go, babe." Tzuyu kissed his cheeks, hurrying to leave, not noticing Jungkook's murderous glare.

Jungkook let out a sob while his head spun around with thousands of memories attacking him one after another, never giving him a chance to rest.

He wiped his forehead with the back of his palm before flicking his hands, the blood on them splattering to Taehyung's body on the floor, mixing with the blood flowing out his head.

"That's why, you shouldn't have called her out."

Jungkook fell to the floor, screaming again, feeling people trying to hold him.

"Now, focus on me." He spoke before slamming his lips on hers.

"Jungkook, calm down." He heard someone shout, but all he could do was to cry louder.

"Tzuyu, baby please----"

"I don't wanna see you right now, leave."

Jungkook sniffled, his hands grasping his hair, pulling at them.

"Why do you do this?" Tzuyu asked him.

"Because I want to remember every moment with you?"

Jungkook kept his hand on his aching chest, fisting his shirt in his hand.

"It's the third time this month, Tzuyu."

"But she just came back from Japan, Kookie. I'm sorry, huh?"

He felt a slight tingle on his arms as if someone was injecting him.

"Why do you always wear red?" Tzuyu questioned Jungkook.

As the drug kicked in, the aching of his heart lessened for a while.

"I'm sorry, I'll make up to it." Tzuyu said before running out, leaving Jungkook on his bday for Sana.

"I'm sorry, I'll make up to it, Tzuyu."

Jungkook closed his eyes, shaking his head furiously, hoping for his head to clear up but instead, he saw himself following Tzuyu.

"They found some trace of the murderer." Jungkook heard Sana telling Tzuyu.

"I swear, I'll kill that bastard." Jungkook touched his finger, where the ring used to be, and realized, his cover was going to blow away as soon as Tzuyu sees the ring.

Once again, the throbbing started, this time, worse than before.

He smirked at Sana's terrified expression when her gaze went down to her stomach, where the knife was seeping out her blood.

"You should have stayed in Japan only, Sana." The last thing Sana saw was Jungkook's wide smile before she fell to the floor, limp.

"Hy-Hyung." Jungkook felt himself in Jin's arms as he looked up at his brother, the tears in his eyes blocking his view.

"I-Is that what you want, Tzuyu? For me to go to prison?"

"Yes."

"Hyung, I-I---"

"You refused to visit me. I spent months waiting for you." Jungkook spoke, but Tzuyu's face remained the same ice-cold.

Jungkook started losing his consciousness, his eyes fluttering, but his heart still heavy.

"You don't make any sense, Jungkook."

"Love doesn't make sense, Tzuyu."

And then, darkness welcomed him.
