Taehyung laid there, staring at the ceiling above him quietly. The lines of destiny and luck blurred and crossed over each other. Everything seemed to fall into place, so why did things suddenly have to change? Was the vision incorrect? If the future wrong?

It was all so confusing, until he heard a knock at the door. With a little groan he sat up, "come in. It's unlocked."

"I-I can't open the door by myself."

"Chaeah..?" Taehyung stood up quickly, hurrying over to the door to open it. On the other side, Chaeah was still wearing her hospital gown....but there was blood all over one side of her.

"C-Chae what happened..?! Oh my..." Taehyung hurriedly tried you stop the bleeding, his eyes almost bulging out when seeing her arm was missing.

"M-My stitches busted...I need to get to the nurse," she spoke in a quiet voice, her skin pale and her body shaking and jolting at the smallest of touches. "Stitches...? What happened—who did this to you?!"

Taehyung didn't even let her finish, scooping her up like a child and rushing to the nurse's wing as quickly as the boost of red energy could take him. Chaeah laid her head against his shoulder, "it was an accident...he didn't mean to."

"Who, is, 'he'?" Taehyung asked angrily.

"Jack..son. Jackson," Chaeah stuttered and Taehyung shook her a little. "Stay with me, okay? We are close," he told.

"B-But you are getting so angry..." Chaeah whispered.

"How did the stitches pop..? H-How did..."

"I'll explain everything soon...I'm just too tired."

Taehyung huffed, finally arriving to the nurse's wing where a nurse was waiting to take care of her. Jackson did this somehow...what was up with that guy lately? They were roommates but never did Taehyung ever see him. What did he miss while he was gone?

Once Chaeah was settled into a bed, Taehyung sat down next to her and held her hand.

"What...did I miss while I was gone..?"

Chaeah softly sighed, squeezing his hand. "A lot. I-I...I think, it was best you took as long as you did."

Taehyung put his other hand over hers again. "Tell me everything. Please..."
