I woke up with a throbbing pain at the back of my head. My right side felt numb and whenever I took a breath my right lung would sting in pain. I could hear many machines beeping and realised that I am in a hospital.

My eyes opened slowly as I looked around. It was a small room with a few machines by the bedside. A drip was attached to my arm. The walls were plain white and there was a large window on one side overlooking the bustling city of Seoul. A vase of flowers was kept on a small table a little distance away.

I tried to remember what had happened.
Memories started flashing in front of my eyes as I brought my hands to my head to ease the dreadful pain.

FLASHBACK

*Bang*

I fall.

I watch Tae rush to my side and pick me up, ordering jungkook about something.

My eyes close.........

..............when they open next time, I am on a stretcher being rushed somewhere. I see Tae looking at me with tears in his eyes. I feel itchy and wet all over my body and when I look, I find my body painted red.

Surely this isn't my blood!

I suddenly panic but Tae's warm hand on my cheek comforts me.

I once again doze off as we enter a dark room...........

The agonizing pain brought me back to my surroundings.

The migraine didn't seem to go away and there was a lingering pain in my right rib.

I heard the door open and my eyes immediately focused on it. Curious to know who it is.

In stepped Taehyung, the guy I was waiting to see. "Y/N!" he called out my name rushing over to me, however stopping in his tracks when he saw my expression. I hoped I looked livid because that was exactly how I was feeling.

"Look Y/N let me e-"

Before he could complete his sentence I picked up the vase and threw it right at him. He dodged it but sadly Jungkook wasn't lucky enough. He got sucker punched by the vase square in his stomach causing him to groan. The vase didn't break however because Tae caught it before it could hit the ground.

"Kim Taehyung!!"

"Yes?" he squeaked out in a tiny voice.

"A Mafia!!"

He chose to remain silent.

"I mean what the hell is this?! A Wattpad fanfic?!!"

I couldn't wait for his reply in my anger and agitation and continued.

"How dare you not tell me huh?!! Just what were you thinking would happen?! Did you really think that you could go ahead and hide this from me for the rest of our life?!"

Jungkook slowly backed off with an 'ooooh he is gonna get his ass whooped' expression on his face.

"Look darling I was rea-" he tried to say in the sweetest voice ever.

"Don't darling me!!"

"Right, of course, wouldn't dare do that"

"Well, you see darl- Sorry! You see being a mafia isn't something I can go ahead and tell everyone. I can only tell it to the most trusted"

"Oh, so you don't trust me?" I questioned with one eyebrow raised.

"Of course I do! You are the person I trust the most! I can take a bullet for you any day!"

"Yet here we are with the opposite situation" I answer sarcastically.

This wasn't going his way at all. One more mistake and he was done for.

He sighed and began with a more serious tone.

" Look Y/N what I do is a risky job and the more people who know about it, the more lives will be endangered. I love you and I didn't want you to be involved in this. I thought I could protect you and keep you out of this but I couldn't and I am so disappointed in myself for this."

He continued.

"Please I know how bad this looks to you but please give me a chance and I will tell you everything!"

"Do you realize how we had this same conversation, just reversed, the last time I talked with you? The irony huh" I said with a bitter smile.

Taehyung knew he was losing her. He could practically feel her leaving his life slowly. A beautiful and hopeful light dimming out of the dark abyss of his life forever.

He moved closer to me and held my hand. I didn't have enough energy to retaliate.

"Y/N I-"

He stopped for a second.

"I don't have any excuses. I made a terrible mistake. I should have protected you but I failed. Your reaction is understandable. If you choose to leave me then I won't retaliate"

"I would like to move to my parent's house as soon as possible" I said giving him a clear yes.

Taehyung's heart dropped. He moved to the side and called the maids, instructing them to pack up my luggage.

After instructing them he moved back to me. His eyes were pleading for my forgiveness but I couldn't do it. I could not forgive him........ at least not yet.

"Is there anything I can do to have you back?" He asked his voice a little lower than usual.

"Well....... you can try..... however I cannot promise you that you will be forgiven" I told him in a soft voice. No matter how angry I am, I cannot stand seeing him this broken. He must have surely had a reason for doing what he does.

He brightened up almost immediately, "I will most definitely get you back. I know for a fact I will!" he declared.

"After all you can't stay away from Mr Kim Taehyung's charms for long, Mrs Kim!!" He said proudly.

I smiled at that.

I hope you do....... or else I don't think I would be able to live anymore.

Jungkook sat in one of the vacant rooms, surrounded by concerned nurses as he told them about his stomach pain with a pout. They all were immediately caught in his trap and were trying to help Jungkook.

"Ladies, do you know what hurts worse than this pain"

"What? What? Oh please tell Mr Jeon" A young nurse said.

"The fact that I can't have you pretty ladies around me all the time" He adds a wink as a cherry on top.

The girls blush and coo at his cheesy pickup line while a few even end up fainting.
