Yoongi's POV

"Let me go! Who are you guys! What are you going to do to me with that knife! Untie me now!"

All that surrounded me was darkness along with two men who was masked, wearing black from head to toe. One was sharpening the knife while the other was reloading his gun with bullets.

Wait a minute.. These two guys looks exactly like the ones on that unfortunate night! Maybe they are the ones who murdered my uncle!

But then again, who am I to assume? I thought it was the four dorks but I got it all wrong and unintentionally hurt them so let's see what happens.

"Let me go!" I shouted. They ignored me.

"I said let me go!" One of them got irritated and pointed the gun at me.

"Shut up! One more word from you and I'll shoot!" He threatened.

Being terribly frightened, I shut myself. The taller one out of the two approached me, with the knife in his hand, trailing it around my neck making me hiss in pain each time the sharp edge dig deeper into my skin.

"I'm sure you're wondering why you're here" the masked stranger spoke as he continued trailing the knife on the other parts of my body, "I'm SO SORRY about your uncle" he said sarcastically followed by a maniacal laugh.

My blood started to boil and I lifted one of my legs to kick him hard in his crotch. Immediately, he fell down on his knees, hissing in pain.

"Why you little-" he pointed the knife to my heart but was stopped by the other.

"Wait Namjoon!"

Oh so that is his name.

"We can't kill him!" He took the knife from Namjoon "Not yet at least" he smirked.

He placed the knife down on the metal tray, replacing with a scalpel. He walked towards me, poking the sharp object deep into my delicate skin. I screamed in pain but he didn't care.

"Shush now. Let me have a little fun with you"

Hoseok's POV

"Jimin please! At least give me one last chance!" I begged him before leaving his dorm room the next morning but he still refused to listen, opening the door waiting for me to leave.

"No, Hoseok. We are over. Now please leave"

I looked down feeling defeated but as soon as I reached the door, I kneel down and begged him once more.

"Please Jimin, I truly love you. I'm so sorry about what I did. Please just-" tears started to stream down my cheeks, Jimin looking at me wide-eyed.

"Please..." I tugged on his leg "Give me one final chance to prove my love to you" I was now a sobbing mess, uncontrollably letting tears flow down.

Jimin knelt down, he had a look of concern plus hatred towards me. I thought he was going to swing yet another slap at me but no, instead he wiped the tears on my right cheek with his thumb.

"D-don't ever do that again. I'm not your master" he then switched to wipe the tears on my left cheek and once all was dry, we both sat down on the floor, receiving weird looks from the students passing down the hallway and he continued speaking, looking at me straight in the eye.

"One last chance, Jung Hoseok. Screw this up and you're permanently out of my life for good, arraso?" He then helped me up, faintly smiling at me but I quickly pulled him in for a hug, whispering a million thank you into his ear.

"So err, can I call you honey again?"

"No" was his simple reply, "Not till I see changes in you"

I nodded, "Well at least let me send you to class"

He glared at me so I added in, "Pleaseeee"

Jimin rolled his eyes and groaned, "Okay okay fine"

We both left the dorm room and was greeted with bright smiles from the Vkook couple who was happily holding hands with each other.

How I wish Jimin and I could always be like that.

"Ready for class?" The maknae asked.

Both the 95 liners replied an energetic yes! To his question. The younger ones walked ahead of us, holding hands, not caring about all the stares they got from the other students.

We parted ways since Jimin's class was across of them. We waved goodbye, reminding them to give each other a call or text if anything props up.

I tried holding Jimin's hands while on the way to his class but he flicked it away. Once we were close to his class, I tried to make another attempt to touch him but he dodged it yet again.

He simply walked off but without warning, i pulled him into my arms and kiss his lips, leaving him surprised but he responded and that's how I knew he was still in love with me.

"Hyung!" He pushed me, "I hate you!" He looked away but wait is that a blush I saw?

I smirked and replied, "I love you too" one final kiss on his forehead and I walked off for work but Jimin stopped me.

He hugged me tight, burying his head on my chest, "Hyung, I know I'm mad but I-"

He got cut off by a phone call.

He fished it out from his back pocket to see an unknown source calling him. He was hesitant to answer but I comforted him asking him to on it in loudspeaker.

H-hello?

All we heard was someone screaming.

Jimin! Save me! It's me yoon-

The call was cut off.

Jimin looked at me with worry plastered all over his face.

"Hoseok, that must be Yoongi hyung. He's in trouble, we have to help him!" Jimin paced back and fourth, forgetting that he has class which starts in five minutes.

"Jimin, calm down. We don't know his whereabouts, how are we going to help him?"

"But we have to do something! Let's report to the police!" He suggested but I still refused.

"Listen" I stopped him from pacing back and fourth and look deadpanned in his eyes, "If we involve the police, it'll complicate things even more and who knows, we might be the ones ending up in jail"

From the look on his eyes, he seemed to understand my point. He sighed and I hug him once more.

"So what did you want to say earlier? You're mad but?"

"But I believe you" I let go of the hug and smiled at him.

"That doesn't mean I'm accepting you back right away" he teased and run off to class.

Jungkook's POV

Classes has ended for the day so it was now time for me to head to the hospital for an appointment. Taehyung alongside me because this alien loves me too much, he's afraid anything bad would happen to me on my way there.

We arrived thirty minutes earlier than the actual time so Tae and I went to grab a bite at the hospital's food court. Once we were done, we went back to the waiting room. I was nervous but Tae keeps reminding me that everything is going to be okay.

Number 5467 was flashed on the screen, I got up and Tae gave me a reassuring squeeze before I headed to the doctor's room to determine the date of my surgery.

"Good afternoon, Jungkook. Please sit down" the male doctor pleasantly looked at me.

"Good afternoon, doc. I'm here to know when is it available for me to go for surgery?"

The doctor browsed through his files to determine the surgery date.

"There's an empty slot this weekend. If you're really sure about this, we can allocate you in"

I paused for a brief moment. The doctor clearly saw the doubt on my face.

"Do you have any questions for me, Jungkook?"

"Erm doctor" I fiddled with my fingers, "If i go for surgery, would my lower spine heal, for good?"

The doctor sighed, looking to the ground and then back at me.

"If I'm being totally frank with you, it might get worse since the lower spine affects the nervous systems as well which is connected to your brain"

After hearing that, all I wanted to do was run out from this room and cry but I kept my cool, listening further to the doctor's explanation.

"But judging from your records, it should get better since you're such a healthy boy. The only defect is the gap in your lower spine so I believe, from years of experience, surgery will help you. You got to have faith" he reassured me, making me feel slightly better.

As hesitant as I was, I agreed to go for surgery since I made that promise to Tae so yes.

You can do this, Jungkook. Have faith.

Taehyung's POV

Today marks the day of Jungkook's surgery. I'm as nervous as he is but I'm sure my pumpkin would get out there healthier as ever.

Sadly, his mum couldn't make it since she's overseas for the time being but she reminded me a million times to keep her updated. Jungkook is such a lucky boy to have a loving mum.

"Jeon Jungkook, it's your turn now." The nurse informed us.

Jungkook looked at me with those sad puppy eyes, making me tear up a little as well.

"Pumpkin.. I love you so much"

"I love you so very much too, baby"

He walked into the operation room and here I was, watching him drag his feet there. I'm praying hard he'll get better. I'm not sure how long I've waited since I dozed off while waiting alone but I was distracted by a commotion happening around the area.

"We need help in room 402! Patient is in critical condition"

All I could see was doctors and nurses running back and fourth.

Wait room 402? That's Jungkook's!

I ran like a cheetah towards that room, wanting to see my precious little pumpkin but I was barred.

"Sorry sir, you can't come in"

"Please let me in, that's my boyfriend in there!" I tried to shove the nurse away but was pulled out by security, "Please please let me in!" I pleaded but all that's left is the echo of my voice on the empty hallways.

"No Jungkook.. Please be okay" I sat down on the cold floor, burying my head in between my knees, crying my heart out, "P-please be okay" I kept chanting that to myself till eventually I drifted off to sleep.

Kim Taehyung.. Why are you crying, my love? I'm okay. I'm in a better place right now. Don't cry, it hurts me. You should be happy since I'm in a place surrounded by light and serenity. Please stop mourning, my love. Wake up, wake up.

"Wake up, Mr Kim" a doctor woke me up from my deep slumber. "You're Jeon Jungkook's, erm, boyfriend?"

I rubbed my eyes and quickly got up form my seating spot, "Y-yes, doctor. How was it? Did it work? Can i see him now? How is he?" I shot him a gazillion questions.

"Now now, hold your horses. The surgery was successful" I sighed in relief hearing that, "But there's good news and bad news"

I gave him my undivided attention and he continued, "Good news is.. There's no time span on how long he will live but the bad news.. He has to be wheelchair-bound the rest of his life but therapy would help"

I nodded as response and he continued explaining to me what can or should be done to improve his condition. What I should try to do to keep him happy since being wheelchair-bound can be pretty depressing at times and may cause the patient to have suicidal thoughts.

After spending almost half the day waiting and crying at the hospital, they finally allow me to see Jungkook. I quickly sprinted to his room to see how he was doing.

There he was, my precious pumpkin, lying down on the hospital bed, looking as beautiful as ever despite the bandages which was wrapped around his body.

"Hey you"

"H-hey you" he mimicked me.

Aish seriously, this maknae still can act silly at this point of time. I guess my alien virus has spread to him.

I caressed his cheeks, planting a kiss on his cute pointy nose.

"How you feeling?"

"B-better" he makes an attempt to sit up but miserably failed since it still hurt.

"Pumpkin?"

"Ne?"

I wanted to tell him the truth about him being wheelchair-bound but seeing the pain in his eyes, I just couldn't.

"I'm so proud of you. Thank you for agreeing to go for surgery" I kissed his forehead and nuzzle his nose.

"No Tae, thank you. I can't wait to get out from hospital tomorrow so we could walk back home happily together"

Walk? But you can't walk anymore...

I sighed heavily.

"What's wrong, Tae?" He tilted his head, question marks all over his face.

"Jungkook.. You umm.. You can't-"

"I can't what, Tae?"

I couldn't bear to tell him "You can't-"

We were interrupted by a loud scream next door.

"Ahhhhh stop this pain!"

I got up to run out of the room to see what was happening, Jungkook gripped my hand tight.

"Kim Taehyung, finish your sentence"

"Now now, pumpkin, please!" I released myself from his grip to see what was happening in the next room.

Not trying to be nosey but the doctors kept mentioning a familiar name. Plus this was my perfect opportunity to escape from telling Jungkook the truth, I just couldn't bear to do it.

My jaw dropped seeing how bad the condition of the person was and the first thing I did was took out my phone to call somebody.

You need to come to the hospital right now!
