Still With My Memories

11: Twisted Fate

Jungkook POV

"Mom..." I immediately hugged her as I arrived the hospital.

"Jungkook..." She mumbled under her breath. Her hands desperately gripped on my shirt. I bit my lips as tears streamed down my face. I still couldn't believe what happened.

"H-how is hyung?" I asked choking in my own words. She shook her head "Still unconscious." She said while massaging her temples. Her chin was trembling as she tried to control her tears. "D-doctors are still monitoring his situation and still can't assure his safety..."

"...H-he will undergone operation. They found internal bleeding on his head." Her voice was shaking as she uttered every single words.

JIMIN POV

(Few Weeks after the accident)

After the accident, I locked up myself and didn't talk to anybody. His picture lying on the ground kept on playing in my head every single minute making me sleepless.

It's been weeks since the accident and I still haven't out in my room. Grandma kept checking on me but I'm lost in words.

Sorry grandma.

I leaned my head in my bed as I sat on the floor, staring at the plain white ceiling as tears kept on flowing.

"Why don't ya get ya ass up now and visit him?!" I didn't realize grandma entered the room. 

"H-huh?" I answered in surprise wiping my tears.

"Stop acting like this, Taehyung must be waiting for ya" She said pointing her cane on me while trying to keep her balance.

"H-how did you know?"

"He's in the news since that f*****g accident but his family and the hospital won't give any update as of now..."

"So you GO and check him now 아이구.. This jerk.." She said while kicking me a little and still trying to keep her balance.

I looked down. Yes, I know I'm too cruel. Everytime I took a step closer to him, I felt like sinking in my own fears. Seeing him lifeless is the worst. What if those smiles are the last smile I'll see? I don't even know if I can take it.

Was I been in the same situation before? It was so scary. I couldn't pull myself to get back.

I was so lost in thoughts when I suddenly felt a hard smacked in my head.

"WAKE UP! YA JERK!! STOP OVERTHINKING, WILL YA!?" Grandma just smacked me with her cane.

"Go. NOW!"
----

I'm standing in front of the hospital for almost an hour now. My feet just won't move. "I'll smack ya head again until ya bleed, if ya don't go." My grandma's threat echoes. "가  (Go)!!"

I shook my head to erase those fears and only remember grandmas words. She might seemed terrifying but she's my strength.

I finally went to information desk to visit Taehyung. "Hi, I came here to visit Kim Taehyung, the pianist?"

"Kim Taehyung ssi?" Nurse asked  in surprise. She talked with other nurse seemed to be confirming something.

"Im.. I'm sorry to tell you this sir, but he's long gone."¹  She said apologetically.

He's gone?

It was as if cold water had been poured on my head. I almost tripped as my legs weaken from the news I'm too afraid to hear.

The nurse seemed to be saying something but I cannot comprehend anything.

"O-o-okay." I managed to say. I clenched my hand, gritted my teeth to prevent myself from trembling.
