The boys can't believe that it has already been one month since that incident. That horrifying day seems like the worst nightmare they had ever had. However, everything seems to be normal by now.

The first days were the worst. With Soojin being in coma for a week, the boys even forgot to have their night's sleep, due to the stress they were having. After Soojin woke up from coma, she had an eye transplant, which came from a kind-hearted dying patient who donated her organs after her death. Soojin is not comparatively alright and she's suffering from severe amnesia but also at the same time, she is regaining her ability of speech again.

During this period, among the boys, Taehyung is the one who suffered the most. Knowing about Haru's death and Soojin's fragile conditions, his grandmother had a seizure and she was admitted in the hospital too. Seeing all these, Taehyung's mental condition worsened so much that at a point, he begged Namjoon to let him quit Bangtan Sonyeondan.

However, they knew it was all because of his condition that he was taking on sudden decisions. Seokjin and the other hyungs convinced him to go back to Daegu and stay there for a few weeks so that, he can recover from the pain and trauma.

:::

The boys (except for Taehyung) are currently on their way to Asan Medical Centre. Dr. Kim Yunhee has called them up for certain discussions. The boys are anxious and are praying that everything is alright and there should be no trouble for their little one again.

"May we come in?" Namjoon speaks out, standing in the front of his group, representing a perfect leader.

"Ah Bangtan Sonyeondan!! Please come in!!' Yunhee gives them a nervous smile as she welcomes them, "Please take a seat!"

"Thank you Dr. Kim!" Seokjin says and the others bow.

"Hey! Y'all can call me Yunhee! I'm not that old, probably of you age! Dr. Kim sounds wierd!" Yunhee jokes, trying to ease up the tense atmosphere. She has to do it so that she can calmly tell them everything, without being nervous or anxious.

The boys giggle at her words as they take their seats.

"Ohk... So...," Yunhee nibbles on her lower lip as she searches through her drawer and pulls out a pile of papers.

Namjoon sighs and speaks, "So... About Soojin... How is she?"

Yunhee retains her composure and starts speaking, "So Soojin... Her conditions are stable now and she's much better than before. I guess she is slowly regaining some of her basic memories; we're often testing her by showing your pictures and asking her to name y'all. And she can!" She gives a warm smile.

Small smiles creep up on the boys' faces hearing that. They can't wait to go and see her and also hear her call them 'oppa' again.

Yunhee's smile fades away as she continues, "Her left eye has been successfully transplanted but... She'll probably won't regain back her clear vision and...," she trails off and sighs, "Her limbs... We are unsure about that if she would be able to walk again. She'll probably be handicapped forever..."

The boys, who were smiling from their hearts a while ago, are now frowning as they stare at the young doctor with sad eyes.

"And about her mental state... She's suffering from severe amnesia and she probably has no memory of her childhood. She might gradually regain her memories about y'all by living with you but...," Yunhee looks at them and remains silent for a moment, "I don't think it's a good idea to tell her anything about her painful childhood or her traumatic experiences. It may lead to another serious disaster. So... We must keep her happy in order to help her recover."

The boys nod. Their throats feel dry with a heavy lump that they've been feeling after hearing Soojin's condition.

"Okay and...," Yunhee looks at a paper, "Don't worry about the bills. I've paid 70 percent of the amount. You just gotta arrange about 40 million won"

The boys stare at her with wide eyes, in disbelief. They can't believe that she has paid off such a huge amount, without any reason.

"But... Why? You actually didn't need to--" Seokjin is about to speak when Yunhee interrupts him with her words.

She looks away, a small smile creeping up on her face, holding a lot of indescribable emotions, "I just... Felt bad for her. She's young... And she has a long life to live...," she looks at them, "Make sure you keep her happy."

Namjoon, with his eyes welling up with tears, speaks in his heavy voice, "T-Thank you so much!" He looks at his members, sharing a kind of similar feeling. They all nod in agreement and hug each other, forming a circle, as they chant:

"We're Bangtan Sonyeondan!! We can do anything and everything and nothing is impossible for us! We'll bring back our Suju to normal!!"

Yunhee smiles looking at the boys. Her eyes well up with tears as a memory replays in her mind. A memory of the previous day.

Yunhee gasps and her hands tremble violently as she holds the report and is unable to process what she's seeing. The test tube containing Soojin's blood falls onto the floor, shattering and spilling the red liquid.

'She... Kim Soojin... She's the one... The lost one...
I knew it! I knew it by the strange connection I felt with her!!'

Yunhee clenches her jaw as she crumbles the paper into a ball.

'I've to protect her. I can't let them know about her true identity. Her life will be in danger and will be shattered again!'

:::

About a month and a half later, Soojin is released from the Medical Centre. Both Jungkook's parents and Taehyung's parents (her uncle and aunt) try to convince the boys to let either of them take Soojin with them.

But the boys are adamant. They refuse. They want to take care and raise their maknae with their own hands. The parents had to give in to their strong determination.

They're also determined to amass the amount to pay off the bills. So, despite of their busy schedule including school and practices, they all take up part time jobs, because the minimum amount of money that they get from the company is not enough.

Seokjin and Namjoon start working in a gas pump, Yoongi keeps up as a delivery boy, Hoseok and Jimin join at a restaurant as waiters and Jungkook, he starts off as a street singer and dancer.

Taehyung joins them soon, taking his part time job as a worker in a convenience store. This short duration of time changed him completely. All those traumas had a serious affect on him, that changed his behaviour drastically. Once who used to be all cheerful and funny, has now turned cold and serious. He finds his peace only when he sees his sister, his baby, smiling. That itself brings a smile on his own face.

From 6 in the morning, their day begins. After spending about 10 hours in school, they directly make their ways to their respective places in order to carry out their part-time jobs.

They divided themselves into two groups in order to look after Soojin. Seokjin and Yoongi in one group, Hoseok and Namjoon in another while they sent the other three to their part-time job destinations.

:::

Now, it's the month of December and it's been six months since that incident. The determination and commendable dedication of the boys made the impossible possible.

Raising their little one with uttermost care and love, Soojin is back to normal now. She has almost recovered and healed completely and is learning to walk now. Though she can't retain her complete balance, yet she tries. She tries her best to walk, with her brothers being with her in every step.

Since that incident, Soojin has become an orphan as both are parents are deceased. So, her maternal uncle and aunt (Taehyung's parents) take her custody and make her legally a part of their family. So, according to that, Taehyung is her own brother now.

They did it for her own good. Because though she revived some of her memories, she had none of that of her father. They didn't want to disrupt her mental state again so, they set up a story and made her believe that Kim Ji Cheol and Kim Mina are her parents and Kim Taehyung is her biological brother.

:::

During this period, Sewon and Jungkook's relationship disintegrated drastically. With Jungkook not being able to give her the bare minimum time and take her on dates, Sewon is furious.

She would call him everyday, asking him to come over or simply meet somewhere, but according to her, Jungkook would always give some silly excuses. She would whine to him to take her on dates. And here him, who's working hard day and night to amass a bit of money so that he could pay for Soojin's medical expenses. How was it possible for him to do so?

But Sewon, she was nowhere near to understand all these. She was probably jealous that Jungkook began giving more time to Soojin. So, one fine day, she called him to Nonhyeon-dong park. Their conversation began normally, then slowly taking an intense turn.

"Bunny, do you still love me?" Sewon asks him, pouting.

"Yes Mochi... Why are you asking that?" Jungkook frowns at her words.

"Then... Why did you not give me any time?"

Jungkook almost groans at it. He's frustrated. He has tried to explain it to her many times but she's nowhere near to listen to him. "Ah... I told you many times! Suju... I'm doing this for her! You know right... Her--"

"Why?! Who's your girlfriend here?!! It's me or her?!!" She yells at him, interrupting his words.

"It's not about that Baby--" he groans in frustration, trying to calm her down, but gets interrupted by her.

"Then what?!" She screams and pushes him, "Then what?! Tell me Jungkook!! You love her, don't you?" Her eyes well up with tears as she glares at him.

"No... No baby.. listen to me--" Jungkook tries to explain himself but Sewon doesn't listen to him.

"Who do you love more, Jungkook?!" She yells, "Me... Or that Handicapped Bitc--"

Those words hit him hard. He won't tolerate this. Not even a single word against his Suju.

"DON'T YOU DARE SAY ANOTHER WORD ABOUT HER!!"

That makes Sewon flinch as she stands still, staring at him with wide eyes. This is the first time ever Jungkook has yelled at her. Even Jungkook doesn't know what happened to him. He just can't tolerate it. He can't tolerate any disrespect towards Soojin. He glares at Sewon, gritting his teeth as he huffs.

"Oh, So you actually do love her, don't you?" Sewon scoffs, looking away.

"YES I DO!" Jungkook snaps, "DON'T YOU DARE DISRESPECT HER AGAIN!"

"Why? What will you do if I do?" She snaps back at him.

"No one will be worse than me," he looks deep into her eyes, warning her, uttering her name in his deepest voice, "Park Sewon" he pulls of the ring of his finger, that ring that they both wore as a sign of their love, "We're over."

Saying that, he throws the ring harshly onto the ground, as he walks away without looking back for once.

"I HATE YOU, JEON JUNGKOOK!!!" he can hear her screaming a few meters away but he doesn't look back. He doesn't care.

As he walks back to his dorm in the cold freezing weather, he can feel his warm tears dripping down his cheeks. He loved her. Yes, he did. He dreamt of many things. Both of them growing up together and still living happily. He never had imagined that things would end like this.

He wipes his tears with the back of his hand and walks into the dorm. He can hear some faint giggles and laughter. A smile creeps up on his face. That's Soojin laughing out there. Hearing her laugh gives him a warm feeling.

On reaching there, he sees Taehyung and Jimin, sitting by Soojin, who is seated on her wheelchair. Taehyung is making some hilarious faces, making Soojin laugh out loud.

"Oppa!! Stop it!! You're so funny!!" she giggles.

Taehyung chuckles, "Do you love your Oppa?" He gently touches her cheek.

"What are you asking, oppa?! Of course!!"

"Aeoo, our Suju obviously loves her Tae Oppa, right?" Jimin looks at her lovingly, while Soojin, displaying a ear-to-ear smile, nods.

Suddenly, Soojin's attention shifts to Jungkook, who is standing by the door frame. Taehyung follows her vision until his eyes fall on him as well. His smile fades away at the sight of Jungkook.

Things between Taehyung and Jungkook are not yet good. He still holds Jungkook guilty for what Soojin has to go through. He gets up abruptly, rolling his eyes as he makes his way out, not failing to push Jungkook by his shoulder. Jimin sighs as he gets up too and follows him.

Soojin squeals, "Kookie!!" Her cheerful voice makes him grin, his toothy bunny grin.

He kneels down to match their heights as he stares at her lovingly, "How have you been?"

Soojin shuts her eyes as she giggles, "Amazing!! What about you, Kookie?"

"Mhm... Mine was good too... " his voice trails away as he recalls the previous events. No, he doesn't want to think of Sewon anymore! It'll hurt him, he knows it.

"I missed you Kook...," she pouts as she stares at him, making him chuckle.

"Hmm... Me too!" He searches through his pocket and pulls out a small can of choco milk, "Here, for you."

Jungkook watches her eyes widen as she takes that can from his hand and almost squeals, "Choco milk?! Omg!! It's my favourite!!" Damn!! She's the cutest!

Jungkook grins, "Hmm... I know it"

"Thank you so much Jungkook!! You're the best!!" She grins at him back, her eyes crinkling at the ends.

Jungkook's smile fades away.

Best... Am I really? Will you still say the same when you'll know the truth? Will you still love me?

Then, there is a deafening silence between them. Jungkook looks down, clenching his jaw while Soojin stares at him in confusion. His features are growing tense as the tears slowly stream down his cheeks.

Jungkook couldn't hold himself back. He snuggles his face onto her lap as he breaks down. A loud sob leaves his mouth and his body shudders. He lets it all out. He doesn't hold back his emotions this time. He stutters between his continuous sobs, "I-I'm S-Sorry... S-so S-Sorry S-suju... I-I never m-meant t-to... P-please..."

His tears wet her fabric as he doesn't stop it. He keeps on sobbing and crying. Suddenly, he feels a hand ruffle through his raven, silky hair.

He looks up, his doe eyes glistening with his tears. He stares into her eyes; her eyes carrying a hint of sadness as she frowns. She moves her hand to his cheek, gently wiping off his tears while he stares at her with his doe eyes.

"Don't cry... I can't see you cry like this," she mumbles while she gently caresses his cheek.

"I-I'm S-Sorry...," he stutters again, holding her hand against his cheek firmly.

"I don't remember what you're apologising for but... I forgive you. Whatever it is... I forgive you!" She gives him a smile, a genuine smile indicating that she does mean it.

That smile. Those eyes.

Jungkook just stares at her blankly and gets lost looking at her. He feels different. A different kind of feeling that he has felt before. A nostalgic feeling. Those deep, hazel eyes of hers and that small crescent smile, ignite a different kind of spark in him that he has never ever felt before. No one can do this to him. Only she can. Only her.

Yes... You're the one.
My FIRST LOVE.
I'm not destined to be anyone's but yours.
I wanna be yours.

He giggles amidst his tears and shuts his eyes close. He grasps her hand, pulling it closer to him as he plants a tender kiss onto the back of her hand, making Soojin giggle too.

I love you, Kim Soojin.
I'll make you mine.
