Chapter 41
SooLin was standing by the bed of her child, softly caressing his hair as the kid had fallen asleep. Her eyes were glassy still even though the doctor had reassured her that SuJae would be fine however the fear inside her had yet to calm down.
It was so hard for her to withstand such things especially after the lose of her husband. Her kids were all she had and she couldn't imagine how to live if something was to happen to any of them. The thought only penetrated her, bringing tears to her eyes.
She leaned slowly and pecked his forehead, before she grabbed his hand and held it close to her cheek, thanking God that he hadn't taken her son away from her.
"I will be a better mother, i promise you my baby. I won't allow anything like this to happen to you again. Mom is sorry that got you through such pain. Please forgive mommy, yes?Sujae?" She talked to his sleeping figure, guilt dripping from her words, revealing the torturing thoughts of blame that she was carrying.
" SooLin. Don't say that. "A voice spoke behind her and she reflexively turned around only to face Namjoon whom had happened to enter right when she was saying those words.
" You are a great mother. Don't doubt that even for a second. This wasn't your fault, it was just an incident. He is gonna be alright." He spoke out loud all his momentary thoughts with a burning passion as he felt like her words had offended him in a way, but he actually had gotten mad at the fact that SooLin was being harsh on herself at that moment, causing her pain.
He stepped closer to her and grabbed her by her shoulders, his eyes firmly looking at her, with a hint of frustration.
"I won't let you say such things for someone that I know well that would give her life for her kids. Just because we are talking about you, don't assume i will let you bad mouth someone i appreciate in front of my eyes." He stated, as he felt his heart diving in sadness, witnessing her teary eyes, that soon left those tears roll down her cheek, before she unexpectedly threw herself on his embrace and buried her face on his chest, crying silently.
Namjoon was taken aback by SooLin's action for an instant however he soon got himself together and placed his arms around her, to gift her the comfort she momentarily needed.

"Seriously, there is no need to Jimin" You told him for the fifth time already as he opened the door of the rooftop of the hospital, where he had been persistent on taking you from the moment he entered into your room and you had told him to leave you a bit alone.
At the beginning he had compiled however that lasted ten minutes before he returned to your room, suggesting that you follow him to the rooftop to see the sunrise.
"We both need a calm moment. This will be the perfect opportunity. I carried you all the way here, so why are you still complaining?" He said as he looked your way, making you look away out of embarrassment.
This guy, not only was he persistent to see the sunrise with you but also didn't hesitate one bit to lift you in his arms when you presented as a valid excuse the weak state of your body. It was obvious that nothing was gonna stop him from doing this with you and somehow you had wondered if he was trying to get your mind off of what his best friend had told you.
He placed you on one of the benches that were on the momentarily empty space, you two being the only people up there at that time,then he took off his jacket and placed it over your shoulders to make sure you won't be cold. As he was doing so, he flashed you a smile before finally settling beside you.
You stayed quiet as you watched only ahead at the sky that had started getting brighter while your thoughts on the contrary, had dived into dark thoughts and feelings. Thoughts that got cut by the feeling of a hand grabbing yours and filling it with warmth.
You turned your head towards Jimin once he did that and he looked your way and met your gaze, without retrieving his hand from yours.
"Whatever thoughts you may be having and whatever happened till this moment. It will be in the past once the sun appears. Everything becomes a yesterday at some point, so don't think too much on it." Jimin said in an attempt to calm your thoughts that he assumed that might be in a state of chaos and fear by now.
After all, Which human being wouldn't be troubled if they were to learn that someone was trying to kill them.
" I guess i could leave the thoughts in the past but.. I can't shake feelings so easily" You replied lowly as you retrieved your hand, away from his touch.
"May i ask, what feelings are they?" You hesitated to reply and went silent for a while, focusing on the sky that was changing.
"Say, have you ever felt scared in your life?" You finally spoke and Jimin glanced at your side profile before looking down, feeling bad that such feelings of fear were laying inside you because he knew how it was.
"I have done many crazy things in my life. I was scared in each and every one of them. Beginning till the end." He admitted, in his mind coming briefly some of the illegal things he had committed till now.
"Then I suppose you can advise me on how to ignore that and focus on your goals." You looked his way with eyes that were hoping for him to give you a solution.
"You can't really fully ignore fear. It's a feeling that no matter how much you fade it, it always remains in a corner of your mind." He said and you just lowered your head, disappointment. You knew he was right but at the moment you would prefer to hear a lie. Anything that would make you feel less insecure and scared at that moment.
It was like the world around you had changed so rapidly, grown so uneasy and uncertain, thinking about any possible way someone may try to kill you. It could happen at any minute and you wouldn't even know of it and that was scary, because you didn't want to die just like that. Not while you had so many things inside you, not while you hadn't achieved the things you wanted to yet.
There were times in your life that you were nonchalant about death but now it was different, because you had so much to lose and also because your death would bring so much benefit to someone you hated like TaeYong. No way you were going to give him that pleasure. However between that mix of feelings you couldn't avoid reality and the simple fact that you were an easy target to kill. Everything was just too pressuring and time seemed to be ticking above your head, filling you with emotions you would never allow to surface fully, out of pride and the need of keeping a certain image.
"But you can win against it" Jimin added to his sentence as he looked your way and slowly brought his hand under your chin, lifting up your face to face his properly.
"You have nothing be afraid of. What's scaring you is only your thoughts that make it grow and feed it. You can win against it." He continued, a gentle smile resting on his lips right after. A smile that to your dislike made you feel more hopeful.
"Thank you." You coldly replied as you brought your hand and removed his away from your chin, trying to ignore the calmness that he gifted you so effortlessly and he let you do so, even though he smiled not planning to put any distance between you and him.
His eyes remained focused on your face, making you grow uncomfortable and even though you looked away and tried to focus on the view, the tension his presence was creating was hard to ignore till he made it completely impossible, as he left his head lean on your shoulder.
"As i said i have done many risky things in my life and it turns out, i will be doing more of them." Jimin's voice reached your ears and you gulped as you refrained from moving your neck, knowing well that if you were to turn to face him, he would look up to and your faces would end up closer than you would like.
" What risky things? "You ended up questioning and you felt him shift, his face snagging on your neck, where he nuzzled his nose a bit over your skin, making you grow rather alert and sensitive on his sensual touch.
" Protecting you. "He replied before he pulled away from your neck and brought his face right in front of yours, securing eye contact.
" See, you have nothing to worry Y/N. For all the things i have risked my life to protect, in my eyes you are worthy of me doing it again." He added as his eyes fell to your lips, letting you visibly know of what he wanted to do right that instant.
"For i have grown to like the taste of your lips, no matter what dangers they hold." He stated and then he bite a bit on his lower lip, his eyes traveling back to yours, seeking for an approval.
An approval that was incredibly difficult for you to not give to him, under that captivating stare that portrayed a great desire that made your mind get filled with only the thought of wanting him.
"Kiss me." You murmured softly and him didn't waste even a second on capturing your lips in the fires of his passion.
