(Still have to edit any spelling or grammatical mistakes... too tired and lazy to do it now because it's already 12:45a.m. here... so yeah... hope you'll excuse me for today... 😅💔)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The sky already turned black. Only the dim light from the hospital corridor that peaked through the narrow window blinds was the only source that could help the corner of someone's heart to feel at ease... because those small rays could let him at least see a particular swollen face that was half covered with white bandages while lying silently on the bed.

Jungkook slowly reached his hand out to hold the cold hand, trying his best not to touch the needle that punctured the veins over the back of the soft hand, escaping another drop of tears as he closed his eyes when he could finally feel those soft hands on his.

"He's fine now. Since he had loss too much of blood, it was a risky case. But good thing that you brought him in time and even gave him your blood. If any more delay than this, things could've been worst. He got a fracture of femur and we have already done with the surgery. But it'll take around 6 months to recover completely to be able to walk."

Those words from the doctor kept repeating on Jungkook's head. They said Taehyung was fine but he was still unconscious.
He could feel the saltiness of the teardrops leaving those red swollen eyes that made their ways to his lips.

Jungkook hadn't spoken any word since he brought Taehyung to the hospital. While everybody was crying in front of the operation theater, he was just sitting on the cold stainless steel chair that kept outside, just like a statue that has no life. The way Taehyung pushed him away, the way Taehyung had looked at him when he rushed towards him and lifted his head to his lap, the way Taehyung smiled at him and said "You're alright" before closing his eyes, his mind was continuously playing the sight just like a movie.

"Jungkook-ah... Go and eat something. Or else you'll collapse now."

Jungkook lifted his head up when he felt a warm hand on his shoulder just to find Jin standing behind him.
He didn't say anything, still holding the cold hand tightly.

"Jungkook... I know you're worried about him. But do you think he would be happy if he find you like this when he wake up? The doctor already said he'll be fine. So don't worry. We all are here for him. Go and eat something. You realy look pale right now. Or... do you want me to bring something for you here?"

Jungkook just shook his head and got up from his chair and leaned down giving the sleeping bear a sweet peck on his forehead and walked out of the room while Jin let out a loud sighed thinking how broken the other looked.

Darkness taken over every corner of the huge hall, so as his heart.
Jungkook was standing in the middle of the mall. It was not that late but not a single person could be seen since he had already rented the whole mall for the day, the day he waited for so long, the day he had gathered all his strength just to give his most special person the best gift of his life. Who would have thought the most beautiful day he had imagined to be the worst day?
He slowly pressed the switch which driven away all the darkness in the whole area. But the light couldn't drive away the darkness in his heart, instead, the more the tube lights got brightened up, the more it darkened his heart. Why? Because it could let him see all the red flowers, the thousands of purple balloons rolling all over the white floor, the unlit candles, the readied huge strawberry cake, the folded banner that printed "MARRY ME".
The next moment, he found himself on his knees picking up the scattering flower petals. He took the huge teddy bear that was lying on the floor and clutched it into his chest as tightly as he could.

"I'm sorry Tae. I couldn't protect you like I promised. I'm really sorry. Please wake up and smile at me again. I still have so many things to say to you. Please... please..."

He finally broke down. The pain he held inside him, he kept telling himself he would be strong enough not to show his pain, but he couldn't... not anymore. The pain in his chest got worsened as he tried to hold more. He bursted out. The sight of Taehyung's swollen face with bandages all over him kept flashing on the back of his mind. The thing that made him more regret was why he wasn't the one to get hurt instead of the other.

"I told you to go and eat something. Not to cry here."

Jungkook raised up his head to find Jin standing in front him. He didn't waste any seconds from throwing himself into the elder's embrace who gladly accepted and gave him soft shooting pats on his back as he broke down into more tears.

"How's Tae now? Did he woke up?"
Jungkook finally spoke after Jin made him calm down a little.
Namjoon, who instantly agreed to accompany Jin when they found Jungkook was not back for around 30 minutes and came to search for him, was sitting next to Jungkook.

"Jimin and your mom is looking after him. We came to search for you since you took too long to come back. Don't worry. He'll wake up soon."
Namjoon softly patted Jungkook's shoulder who just nodded his head.

Silence took over the huge hall until a ringtone from Jin's pocket broke it.

"What? He woke up? Ok... we're coming."
Jin stood up as he could see some hope on Jungkook's eyes.
"Jungkook... he just woke up. Let's go."

‐‐‐

Everybody's attention was towards the door that burst opened as Jungkook rushed inside the room filled with chemical smells.
His eyes fell on that particular person on the bed, with his big doe eyes looking at him.

Jungkook couldn't even move for a while, he tried his best not to let the struggling teardrop to escape from his eyes. The smile finally curled up in the corner of his lips as he took his steps closer towards the one to whom his eyes were fixed on.
He slowly leaned down and cupped the swollen face with his hand.

But...

To everyone's surprise... his hands were pushed away from the face.

"Who are you? Why are you touching my face?"
Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.

"Tae... It's... It's me... Your kookie. You... you don't know me?"
Jungkook started to panic as he held Taehyung's hand but his hands were shoved away again.

"Who is Kookie? I don't know any Kookie. Hyung..!! Jiminie...!! What's going on? Do you know him? Why did you bring an unknown person here?"

Jungkook couldn't believe his ears. He refused to admit that Taehyung didn't know him. He held Taehyung's hands eventhough the other tried to shove away.
"Tae... please... please look at me carefully. Please don't do this to me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I really wanted to explain everything that it was not what you think. Tae... baby... please... Please say you know me. I don't want to lose you again. I promise... I promise that I will never hurt you. It's... it's ok if you don't know me. But please let me be by your side. I---"

"Excuse me. The patient has not recovered fully yet. Please don't pressure him like this. We need to examine him first. Please leave the room for now."

Jungkook was stopped by a staff nurse who came inside the room with a file in her hand. Jungkook took a last glance at Taehyung who kept staring at him and left the room after which he plopped down on the floor with his back resting on the door and completely broke down again.

"Don't you think that was a bit harsh? No... not only a bit... I think that was pretty harsh. He looked so broken."
Jimin sat down next to Taehyung who kept fidgeting his fingers after the nurse left the room.

"Was I? I never thought he would act like that. I just wanted to see how he would react if I forget him again. Even I regret what I said. I almost hug him right away and tell him it was a joke but that nurse interrupted."
Taehyung pouted his lips. Tears started to form when he imagine how Jungkook would be.
"Where's he? He must be hurt. It really hurt when I saw him crying while holding my hand. I shouldn't have done like that."

"Aigoo... It's ok Taehyungie... It already happened and you can't change it. Just tell him the truth when the time is right. First you need to recover completely fast so that I can be your best man for your wedding."
Jimin said while patting Taehyung's head who chuckled shyly.

Jimin already told Taehyung that there was nothing between Jungkook and Doori but they were just planning for the proposal. Doori was also waiting for Taehyung to wake up while trying to comfort Mrs. Jeon and the others. But Mrs. Jeon sent her back to take some rest.

"Ok... I'll go and see where Jungkook is. But don't even try to move ok? The doctor warned you not to move. Take care of your legs. Should I send him here?"
Jimin got up from his chair after he got a nod from Taehyung.

Jimin was searching for Jungkook throughout the hospital but finally found in a small garden in front of the hospital building. He was sitting with Yoongi who was wrapping his arms around Jungkook with soft pats on his back.

"Jungkook... Please go to Taehyungie's room and feed him the medicine. He's not willing to take it."

Jungkook and Yoongi turned their head towards the voice to see Jimin standing behind them.

"Will he really take them if I give him? He doesn't even know me."

Jimin could clearly see how broke Jungkook looked at the moment. He really wanted to tell it was a joke but he thought it would be better if Taehyung himself will tell him so he kept quiet and just patted Jungkook's shoulder.
"Don't worry. Just give it a try. How will he remember you if you don't go to him?"

Jungkook nodded and got up from his seat heading towards Taehyung's room leaving the couple alone.

"Don't you think we should just tell him the truth? That kid looks like his soul already left his body."
Yoongi said as he let his husband (or should I say wife? Ouch... 🤭) sit next to him by holding his hand.

"Yeah... but I think it would be better if Taehyung himself tell him."
Jimin said as he rested his head on Yoongi's shoulder while playing the thin veiny hand with his short chubby hands that fits perfectly with each other.

"I think you're right. Hmm... I hope things settle soon and let them live happily."
Yoongi smiled as he let Jimin play with his hand while his other hand played with Jimin's soft hair who closed his eyes at the comfort.

Jungkook opened the door slowly as he took his steps towards Taehyung who was trying to get up from the bed. Jungkook was fast enough to run towards him and held him before falling into the ground.

"You should not move like this you know."
Jungkook slowly made Taehyung sit again.
"Tell me what do you need. I'll bring it for you."

"I just want to drink water."
Taehyung pointed towards the jug which was on the table.

Jungkook smiled and poured some on a glass and gave it to Taehyung. But Taehyung wasn't able to hold it since his hand had some abrasions so it was bandaged. Jungkook smiled and feed him.
"Have you taken the medicine?"

"I don't want to. It's too bitter."

"Tae... You need to take this and you have to take this and you must take this right now."

Taehyung whimpered as Jungkook ordered him and instantly took it right away.

"Umm... I want to go out. It feels so stuffy here."

"You want to go out? Ok... wait for me. I'll bring you a wheelchair."

With that, Jungkook ran out of the room and came back with a wheelchair and a nurse. He picked the fragile body bridal style and made him sit on the wheelchair as the nurse helped with the IV drip stand who walked out of the room after Jungkook took it from her thanking her.

It was already morning as the sun started peaking out reducing the darkness of the night.
Jungkook was walking through the empty road around the hospital building with Taehyung. He stopped the wheelchair and walked towards Taehyung's front and half squatted and leaned towards the other's forehead and gave him a soft and sweet peck.

"Tae... It's ok if you don't know me. It's ok if you don't love me now. But I love you. And I'll make sure you to love me back again. No matter how many days or months or years you take to love me again. I can still wait for you like you did for me. I'll make you love me again. Will you please give me a chance to show you how special you are to me? I promise I'll do my best, I'll do everything just for you to love me. Or... it's still ok if you can't love me again. But I'll always love you. Please give me chance to protect you."
Jungkook cupped Taehyung's face as he gently rubbed his thumb on his cheeks with his eyes hoping for a yes.

Taehyung's heart was skipping with every single word that Jungkook spilled out from his mouth. That's when he realized for the nth times how much they meant for each other.
A part of his heart wanted to throw himself under the embrace of the broken man in front of him.

Just when Taehyung opened his mouth to say something,
"Tae... Make sure to recover as soon as possible. I have so many things to say and share with you. You might be tired by now. Let's get inside. It's cold here."
Jungkook stood up and lead him inside his room not allowing Taehyung to say anything when he told him he had something to say. But no one would know he was actually trying to hide his tear from the very person he wanted to show the strongest side of him.

‐‐‐

It was already a week and Taehyung's swollen face became normal again. He was totally fine except for his legs. He still had to use the wheelchair that he hated the most.
Jungkook was always by his side. He didn't even sleep properly. He took extra care for Taehyung and Taehyung loved that caring and overprotective side of Jungkook. To say Taehyung wanted more of this Jungkook would be an understatement. Of course Jungkook took care for Taehyung from before. But this time, it was different. He became more careful and day after day, he was looking like a nation's husband taking care of his beloved wife.
But the worst part is that, Taehyung never got any good chance to say the truth. He really wanted to tell him the truth but he couldn't. Was he afraid that Jungkook might get disappointed?
He was discharged that day since he was feeling better but Jungkook already told Jin that he will bring him back.

It was already getting dark when he came out from the hospital and they were in the car, driving through the silent road.
Taehyung was watching through the window but the road caught his attention.

"Where are we going?"
Taehyung spoke up when the car was driving towards the direction other than his house.

"Umm... It's a special place. Just trust me and wait for it a bit more."
Jungkook smiled and held Taehyung's hand tightly.

The car stopped in front of a huge gate. Taehyung looked around as he sat on his wheelchair and it was a familiar place and he was sure he had visited this place before but he couldn't exactly say what place was it since it was too dark.
While his eyes were still roaming around as Jungkook held the handle to push the wheelchair forward.

It was still so dark and he couldn't see anything. He held Jungkook's arm tightly as he felt a bit scared to which Jungkook just smiled and rubbed his hand to assure him it was gonna be alright.
The two walked for about 5 minutes, holding hands and Jungkook stopped and looked at Taehyung who was giving him a confused look.
Then...

A soft light was switched on... and then two... and then three... and then so on until the whole place got lightened up. Taehyung was looking around the place with amazement with his mouth gap opened. Then he realized that was the same place he went with Jungkook, the Amusement Park that they broke into by climbing the wall fencing.

Before he could say anything, Jungkook dragged him towards the same Ferris Wheel that they rode together.

"Don't be scared. I'm here with you... ok?"
Jungkook smiled and tightened his grip on Taehyung's hand and made him sit at one of the seat.

Taehyung wasn't afraid anymore. He sure was still afraid of heights but not at the moment while Jungkook was next to him. He wouldn't be scare even if he got stucked inside that Ferris Wheel and can never come down if Jungkook was beside him. He could've spent his life with him there happily.
He couldn't help but just smiled at how sweet Jungkook was being towards him, how he was trying his best.

Their cabin was going up higher and higher and they could see the bright lights of the whole city.
Taehyung was too amazed by the beauty that he stood up but suddenly he tripped and he could've fall if Jungkook hadn't catch him in his arms.

"I heard if you kiss someone when the Ferris Wheel reaches its peak, then they will be together forever."
Jungkook suddenly spoke up with eyes still on Taehyung.

Taehyung's face started to heat up as he felt those familiar flips inside.

"Tae... Even if you can't remember anything we did, I'm still ready to make more beautiful memories with you. Even if you forget thousands times, I'll still make thousands of memories again with you. This place has become one of the most special place for me after I met you. This is the place where I felt the butterflies, this is the place where you and I had fun the most. So I wanted to give you another special memory in this place."

Taehyung couldn't hold it anymore. He threw his arms around the other's neck as he closed the tiny gap between their lips. Tears rolled down on his cheeks as he tightened his grip around the other's neck when he felt a strong arm pulling him closer, they missed that feeling.
Their eyes locked at each other as they parted away. One was filled with tears while another was confused with the other's sudden action.

"You idiot. Do you know how much I miss you?"

Jungkook stood still. He didn't understand what was he feeling at the moment. He was happy... like too happy... he felt so relief but still confused.
"Tae... You... you remember me now?"
Jungkook cupped his face as tears started to form.

"I always remember you. How can I just forget the most important person of my life?"

"Then... then... what was all that for? I mean... you said..."

"I'm sorry Kookie. I didn't mean to do this but... I just wanted to see your reaction but couldn't get to say it was a prank. I'm really sorry for hurting you."

"So... Was it really a prank? You didn't forget me? Seriously?"
Jungkook was jumping out of happiness.

"Wait... You're not going to get angry? Because I played you dirty with my prank."
Taehyung was confused to see how Jungkook got all excited instead of getting angry over him like he thought him to be.

"Why should I get angry? This is the best thing that ever happened. Oh my god... Tae... You really didn't forget me."
Jungkook was crying out of happiness that he hugged Taehyung again and again recieving cute giggles from the other.

"Oh... Look at that..!!"
Taehyung widen his eyes when he saw fireworks that decorated the dark sky.
He was smiling brightly as he watch the twinkling fireworks until he felt a warm hand on his. He looked up and he found Jungkook kneeling in front of him holding a diamond ring while smiling at him with his brown eyes piercing through the other's glowing eyes.

"Tae... Will you allow me to make you happier each day? Will you allow me to love you until my last breath? Will you allow me to make many more beautiful memories with you for my whole life? Marry me Tae."

Taehyung bursted into tears as he nodded his head happily, not able to form any word.
Jungkook smiled brightly as he took Taehyung's hand and slide the diamond ring into his long slender ring finger and kissed his knuckles softly earning another cute chuckle from the other.

He got up from his kneeling position and leaned down his head towards Taehyung. He slowly brought up his hand to cupped the soft face and kissed away the tears that streamed down his cheeks.

"I love you Tae."

"I love you too Kookie."

They smiled before capturing each other's lips that matched perfectly like a puzzle piece pouring all the emotions and feelings as they moved their lips in sync, drowning in each other's warmth and sweetness with the Ferris Wheel reaching its peak while the fireworks glittering the sky above them...
