(WARNING⚠️⚠️⚠️: FOUL LANGUAGE, AND MAYBE TRIGGERING STUFF UP AHEAD!!)

--Taehyung P.O.V--

"HEY! YOU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" My voice sliced trough the air. He didn't hear me. He didn't even look up.

"Oh shit" I mumbled as I ran to the silhouette of a guy on the railing of the bridge I was currently on.

I was walking home from a party at Hoseok's place, then I saw him run to the bridge and climb on the railings. He looked familiar but I couldn't see his face clearly from this distance. So I ran to him. I saw him lean forward, ready to jump. Shit. I was about 10 meters away when he let go.

Then, I recognized his face. Jungkook. What the actual fuck.

"Jungkook!" I tried to yell. He fell foward and just as I reached the railings, he fell into the ice cold water.

"Shit, fuck, no NO!" I couldn't let him die, because it would be my fault. 'I know I wasn't a nice guy, neither were my friends. But I didn't know you were fucking suicidal, I was kidding when I said that on the rooftop' were the thoughts that ran throuh my head. 'This is so messed up'

Without any hesitation, I jumped in after him. My body made contact with the water. 'Fuck that's cold' I moved my limbs to get to the sinking boy. I started to get numb, I needed to hurry. As I grabbed the back of his shirt, I swom to the side, where I dragged his body out of the water. The wind that was blowing on my soaked clothes was twice as cold as the water.

'He's not breathing, he's not fucking breathing. What to do?, what to do?' I started panicking and couldnt think straight when I saw the unmoving body of my classmate lying before my knees. 'CPR, of coarse you idiot. Restart his fucking heart' I put my hands together and pushed on his chest quicky. Matching the beat of my own heart, which I could clearly hear pounding in my ears. I closed his nose and breathed in his mouth. 'Don't die on me! I'll kill you if you do' I repeated this motion a few times before he suddenly shot up. Choughing the water out of his lungs.

"Thank god!" I muttered as I held my head in my hands. 'He's alive'

Jungkook looked around confused when he finally got all the water out of his lungs.

"YAH!" My yell clearly surprised his as he jumped away. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING HUH?!" I yelled in his face. He looked panicked, looking at me like I just turned into an alien or something.

"W-what h-h-happened?" He sputtered. But before I could even explain, his eyes rolled to the back of his head and he fell backwards.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me!"

--Jungkook P.O.V--

Am I dead? I can't feel anything, my limbs won't move. Why can't I move? What's happening? Is this the feeling of being dead? I don't like it. Get me out of here! Someone?

Everything around me was white. There was nothing, nothing but a painful silence. It lasted for maybe a minute, eventhough it felt like an hour, before my surroundings changed. I was in a bedroom, it was light green and orange. Who would have such a weird bedroom. My body seemed to move on its own as I swung my legs over the side of the twin sized bed. I saw ice packs on the place I just laid, what were those for? I was in a pair of orange sweatpants, not mine, that's for sure.

"Finally, you're awake" A deep voice came from the doorway. Taehyung? Am I in his room?

"What were you thinking huh?" He asked when he walked closed, he slapped the back of my head lightly. To me it felt like he just dropped a brick on my head. I groaned and held it in my hands, my head was pounding. I couldn't think straight.

"Sorry" He grinned sheepishly.

"What happened?" I slowly asked. The last thing I remember was me jumping off the bridge. "Why am I not dead?" My breathing got faster. "I should be dead, why am I not dead?" My hands started shaking.

"Whoa whao, calm down first" He softly told me, his voice was deep and raspy. I calmed down a bit and looked into his eyes.

"Tell me"

"Well first off, Thank you Taehyung for saving me huh" he mocked. "Eventhough it seems like you really do want to die, still" he mumbled under his breath.

"You jumped off the bridge, I jumped after you and dragged you to the shore, all but revived you and you fainted after having a panick atrack, which you apparently don't remember. So I took you to my house, I have no idea where you live" He explained. I slowly processed the new information. I didn't die. I am such a failure that I even failed to kill myself. Pathetic.

I held my head in my head once again and let my body fall back on the bed.

"I'm sorry to be a bother, I should leave." I muttered after a minute of laying there, ignoring the intense gaze of Taehyung on me.

"Definitely not. How do I know you won't just try to kill yourself again?" Taehyung protested. Then a knock was heard on the bedroom door. The door opened to reveal a small boy, maybe 6 years old. He peeked into the room and his eyes seemed to lit up when they landed on me.

"Hyung you woke up!" His loud excited voice rang through my ears. 'Do I know him? I dont think so.' His small figure came running to me and was about to jump on me if Taehyung didn't stop him.

"Yah~! Taeguk, don't jump on him, he's injured and tired" Taehyung scolded the little boy. He pouted but followed the olders instructions.

"Jungkook, this is my little brother, Taeguk" he introduced us. They have a large age gap.

"Nice to meet you Kookie hyung!" Taeguk yelled. He has knows me for a minute and I already have a nickname?

"Hyung, he has better abs then you do!" Taeguk pointed at me and looked at Taehyung who pouted.

"No need to rub it in" He all but whined. He acted differently at home, at school he never pouted, acted this childish. He was less hyperactive and acted more like a 'bad boy'.

Then I looked down. My shirt dissapeared, my scars were fully exposed but both boys didn't question anything.

Then another person appeared in the doorway. It was an older woman, maybe end 40s, but still young looking. His mom I guess.

"Boys, our guest needs rest, don't bother him" she scolded, but still had a smile on her face. Now both boys pouted.

"But mom~" they whined together.

"No buts. Now, Jungkook was it?" She looked at me and walked closer. She put her hand on my forehead and pulled it back after a few seconds. "Your fever has gone down, but isn't completely gone. How are you feeling?" She smiled at me and crouched before me looking at me as if encouraging me to talk.

"Uhm, I-I uh, f-feel fine" I stuttered and my eyes flickered between her face and my hands, I didn't know where to look. If I have one problem, it's talking to women, even worse are mothers.

"Well that's good, if you feel dizzy or nauseous, just tell me ok? I'll get something for you" she smiled.

"Now, who's hungry?" The two boys besides me shot up and ran around the room, chanting 'ME! ME!'. The woman laughed and looked at me once again, I just avoided her eyes.

"Taehyung, would you get something for Jungkook to wear, after that, come downstairs, I made pancakes" she grinned and picked up Taeguk. Then they both walked out the door and dissapeared from my sight.

A shirt was thrown at me by the only other boy in the room.

"I dont know if it fits, your more muscular that I am" Taehyung pouted once again.

"Thank you" I mumbled and tugged on the shirt. It was a bit tight and almost looked like a muscle shirt but it fit.

"Great, let's go downstairs" Taehyung grinned in a weird way, his mout formed into a rectangle like box and all his teeth were visible. I nodded and stood up, apparently too fast when my sight got dark and I lost my balance, almost falling if it wasn't for Taehyung supporting me.

"Woah, slow down" He told me and waited until I stood straight again. Me feet were already hurting and my muscles seemed to be frozen and stiff. I walked step for step out of the room. I must look pathetic, weak and stupid. We made our way downstairs, me leaning on the wall for support each time I almost fell. I didn't want to bother Taehyung more that I already was, but he insisted that I leaned on him, so I complied when we got to the stairs.

A sweet aroma greeted us when we walked to the kitchen. Pancakes.

"Come sit down!" Taehyuns mother mentioned us when she saw us. Taehyung pulled me to the table and forced me to sid down next to him, opposite to Taeguk. I watched as their mom placed the pancakes on the table. The first few were taken by Taehyung and Taeguk within seconds. I awkwardly took one and placed it on my plate.

"Yah! Don't take a natural one, that's boring, decorate it with apple or syrup or something" Taehyung complained when I was about to bite into my pancake. I put it back down and put a bit of syrup on it, which made him laugh at the tiny amount. Taehyung grabbed the bottle from my hands and squeezed a large amount on my pancake. He rolled it up and smiled triumphantly, as if proud of his 'masterwork'.

"That's better, now eat up" He grinned, taking a big bite of his already second pancake, which was also full of apple slices and syrup. I grabbed the pancake and quietly ate it, listening to the lively conversations the family on the table was holding. They were laughing and the two boys were playing woth their food, their mom scolding them, but also laughingly.

They look so happy. I wish I could have a family like that. Unfortunately I was not blessed like that, instead I was now an only child and my father was a strict man. Mom. The person I missed dearly, but also resented so much. She-

"Jungkook? You alright?" Taehyungs voice broke my train of thoughts. I looked at him and then saw that all three of them were staring at me.

"Y-yeah" My voice cracked a bit. I cleared my throat and took a bite of my pancake. The two boys continued to talk happily but Taehyung's mom's gaze was on me fow a few seconds longer. 'Please don't' I thought, hoping she wouldn't question it. As if she read my mind, she looked to her youngest son and talked happily with them. 'Thank you'

We sat there, eating, and chatting, atleast the others were, I stayed quiet and listened to funny stories they were telling.

I let out a small smile. 'This is how a family is supposed to be'
