"Come on Jungkook don't make me say it!" she says meeting my eyes for the first time since I dragged her into the parking lot. Her eyes were filled with tears and I wanted to do nothing more than to kiss her pain away.
'Ziva, please don't cry and te...
I stood there rooted to the ground, witnessing the SUV trying to take a 360 degree turn to avoid crashing into me. Accepting the fate that there is no avoiding this I close my eyes and wait for the impact. A millisecond later I feel sharp pain in my knee causing me to fly back and fall down with a thud. Pain erupted in my spine and my knee. My wrist was also throbbing with pain. I couldn't talk, I couldn't respond, I couldn't feel anything apart from the pain. I was shivering. Shivering with fear. All I could do was lay on the ground and wait for someone to come and help me.
Moments later, a man in his fifties came to my aid and helps me stand up very carefully. Looking at him I realize that he is an auto driver as he is wearing the signature khaki colored coat that all of them usually wear. I was immediately asked to board the auto which would take me to the hospital. I silently boarded the auto still taken aback by the fact that whoever hit me didn't bother to stop. Whoever hit me left the area without even halting for a second, without even trying to make sure whether I was alive or not.
As soon as I was taken to the hospital, the doctor examines me and provides me with a knee cap and gives me some pain relievers and also wraps my arm with a bandage as it got twisted while I fell on the ground. Thankfully I did not get any major injuries. While getting treated all I could think about was about the things which could have happened if the SUV didn't turn at the right time. Sure I still met with an accident but I was glad that the injuries were minor. After all the treatment was done I call up Inaaya informing her of the incident which happened. I could hear her muttering a stream of curses and hanging up not before informing me that she was on her way to come pick me from the hospital.
After reaching home I get bombarded with questions like, 'why was I limping? What happened to my hand? How did this happen?' I just brush all of the questions away and tell my mom that I fell down the stairs in my office and rush towards the bedroom to avoid any further conversation. Next day at around 11 AM I get a call from Aarav which wakes me up from my deep slumber.
"Hello, why didn't you call me? What happened? Are you alright? Who did this? Do you have any idea how worried I was when Inaaya called and informed me that you met with an accident! Does it hurt? Where does it hurt?"
I cut him off saying "Relax Aarav. I'm ok. My knee hurts a bit but I will be alright. I will answer the remaining set of questions when we all meet for lunch."
Aarav however was in no mood to listen "What even makes you think that you are going to step outside of your house? You are not going anywhere!" Although after constant pleading he finally agrees to take me to lunch with the others.
I carefully get down from my bed and start getting ready for lunch. After an hour I hear the doorbell ring. I slowly make my way towards the door and open it. Instantly a pair of hands embrace me in warm hug. "Don't scare me like that, ever again. Do you understand? I quietly nod my head. I knew that he was too scared even I was too scared to digest what happened yesterday. Putting all those negative thoughts away, I pull away from the hug masking my fear with a smile. "Let's go, I am very hungry." Saying this I pull him towards the car.
After reaching the restaurant, I am again bombarded with hugs and questions. I laugh it off and grab my friends dragging them to the nearest table. While walking towards the table. I couldn't help but notice the 7 boys sitting right next to our assigned table. All of them wearing hoodies and covering their faces with caps.
Jungkook's POV :
We hit her!!! All of us could hear a scream of pain and flat thud noise. We knew that we cannot get down under any circumstances. We cannot risk going and checking up on her. I suddenly hear Hobi hyung asking Suga hyung to start driving. Without having to be told twice Suga hyung started driving leaving the girl on the road.
Jin hyung immediately protested," What are you doing Yoongi? Stop the car! We need to go and make sure she's okay."
To which V and Jimin hyungs instantly agreed. Hobi hyung tried to justify our crime by saying that some man was already rushing towards her to help her and we cannot risk being caught.
From the rear view mirror I saw the girl still laying down in the middle of the road shivering and a man rushing to help her. After 20 minutes of us being in shock and not uttering a single word the SUV finally came to a halt. That's when I saw Suga hyung already drove us back to hotel. All of us felt helpless. Our heads hung low. Our faces said it all. We were consumed by immense guilt.
After entering the hotel Rapmon hyung started panicking "It's all my fault, I did this. I almost killed a girl. I did this ", he said. I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It wasn't his fault that the brakes failed. It was no one's fault. My thoughts were voiced by Suga hyung, trying to make him understand that we all were at the wrong place at the wrong time.
"Can't we go back and check up on her now? She might be admitted at the nearest hospital. It might not be our fault but we are somehow responsible," V hyung said to which Jimin and Jin hyungs immediately agreed. As much as I wanted to go back and make sure she was ok, I couldn't. So I explained them that it going back wasn't an option.
Everyone retired to their rooms accepting the fact that there's nothing we can do about it now. After reaching the hotel room I freshen up and lie on my bed, but for some reason I couldn't sleep. The only thing running in my mind was her face, her wide eyes filled with fear, her scream of pain and the sound of her hitting the ground. The guilt was eating me alive. That night I promised myself that if I ever met her again, I'll make sure to apologize for our actions and make sure that I will not hurt her ever again.
The next morning none of us were in a mood to go out. All of our eyes were red indicating that no one slept that night. Our adventure trip went downhill with one mistake. It was almost time for lunch, but no one wanted to eat.
Hobi hyung being the considerate one as always tried to cheer us up. "Let's not spoil our mood by thinking about it too much," he said "We are here to perform for our army, let's not get affected by this and concentrate on making our fans happy. We can deal with this later. Now let's all go grab a bite to eat." As much as we didn't want to we knew hobi hyung was right so all of us started getting dressed and exited the hotel with our main accessories , caps and masks.
It took us 10 minutes to reach the hotel. Today we were going to try some Hyderabadi food. V hyung found out that Hyderabadi biriyani was famous so all of us decided to eat Chicken biriyani. We sat at the table waiting for the food and making small talk. I glanced towards the entrance and saw a girl entering the hotel limping and her shoulder wrapped around a boy. With a single glance I immediately recognized her. She was the same girl who witnessed our fender bender the other day. The sharp intakes of breath on the table told me that all my hyungs recognized her too. Two more girls came rushing towards her enveloping her in tight hug. She pulled away and I could see her smiling and shaking her head. She then looked towards a waiter. "Booking in the name of Ziva Reyner" she said.
