"Jeon Jungkook, he's alive"

I took a step backwards with utmost shock. My lips and hands started shaking vigorously. It felt like my tongue was stuck in my palate with glue, unable to let words out of my mouth. Seokjin let go of my shoulders and looked at me with a concerned gaze.

I shook my head, it started spinning, and my whole world started spinning.

Did I hear it right? It's not a dream anymore?

"Ju- Jungkook... He's alive?" my voice came out as a whisper. But the pin-drop silence in the room made my words echo in the air.

Jimin charged towards Seokjin and clutched his shirt from his collar. He looked intense.

"What are you saying? The boy is alive?" Jimin couldn't believe we just heard either. The other tall man nodded in agreement. He gently removed Jimin's hands from him and turned to me.

"He's alive Y/n" Seokjin frustratingly brushed his hair backwards several times mumbling,

"If only you were a few minutes earlier...he left just when you guys arrived " he groaned in frustration.

"Shit!" he kept muttering while I stood there speechless, not being able to handle the unexpected news that came like a bombshell.

Jungkook was alive, he truly was...

I stared at him with widened eyes. I gulped to wet my dry throat.

"He's truly alive? Are you telling the truth?" I mumbled. Seokjin clasped my hand between his and glanced at me, talking to me in a soft voice.

"He is Y/n, he is...All this time he was desperately trying to find you" I gripped the headrest of the sofa to prevent falling as I felt dizzy. Both Seokjin and Jimin aided me, helping me to lie down on the cosy sofa.

Seokjin hurriedly ordered his maid to bring a glass of Brandi. He handed it to Jimin who carefully let me a few sips of it. I felt better as my cheeks blushed with red again as the strong liquor passed down my throat.

I breathed heavily, trying to walk out of the daze I was in. But everything was too much to handle. The journey to find the pendant finally led me to my long-lost lover, Jeon Jungkook.

"Where is he now?" Jimin quietly asked Seokjin as I was slowly recovering from the shock. Jimin himself was quite stunned but he managed to handle the situation.

Seokjin bit his lower lip in agitation, not being sure how to answer it.

"He just left right before you entered, I'm pretty sure you must have encountered him on the way in" I flickered at him as he said. I recalled the carriage that passed by me a few minutes earlier.

The carriage that passed by, that was him, it was him. We passed each other without knowing. I missed him just like that.

"Oh dear lord..." Jimin said, glancing at me with a worried expression.

Seokjin was a quick-witted one though. He quickly got up and grabbed his overcoat that was thrown on the chair. He glanced at both of us.

"I'll tell you the story on the way, come on Hurry up! We have to catch him before he gets on the ship" he exclaimed in a panic, making me and Jimin instantly shoot out from our seats with shock.

"Ship?"

"Yes, he's setting sails to America " Seokjin didn't stop as he was talking, he hastily rummaged through the locker of a desk and fished out a bundle of keys.

"Both of you to my car! Let's go!" it was an order more than a request. I didn't even have time to think about what he said, my whole mind was covered with a thick haze, ceasing my ability to think straight.

The sudden adrenaline rush made me run toward the four-wheeled vehicle he owned. Only the richest people had their cars at that time.

Seokjin got in the driver's seat, me in the front and Jimin in the back of the luxurious vintage car. He hit it on the accelerator without wasting any time. I pressed my body against the leather seat, trying to control my racing heart that was pounding. It felt like it would leave its place in the rib cage at any moment.

The car cut through the air like a bird, and the strong wind slapped me, flipping my dress vigorously. My hair which was tied in a bun loosened, making it fall onto my shoulders. I didn't even bother to tie it up again, all I wanted was to see Jungkook.

"Jungkook desperately kept searching for you Y/n, the only thing he had in mind all these years was you..." The man in the driving seat started talking, the same time his hands on the wheel stirred the car.

He kept talking as we silently listened.

"After he barely survived the tragedy he was severely ill. He had to stay in the hospital for seven months before he was able to stand on his feet properly again." I held my breath as Seokjin said.

He took a sharp turn, making our way to the main street that was busy. It slowed us down since we couldn't race the car through the crowd.

"He was in a game of death and life Y/n, we weren't sure whether he would live. He was hanging on the edge but he survived." he kept on telling the story, same time trying to trespass the other vehicles that were in front of us.

"Even when he was in the hospital the only thing he talked about was you. He wanted me to find you" he glanced at me as we had to halt to give away to the vehicles that were coming from the other side.

"I tried to find the girl named Park Y/n, but there wasn't anyone who had the name Park..."

"Because I changed my name," I said in a faded voice feeling like there was a lump in my throat.

"Yes," he started driving again, honking the horn to make us way.

"But he didn't believe what I said, he was so sure that you were alive. After he got out of the hospital his only mission was to find you." his words made my eyes tear up.

He had his faith in me like he always did.

Never give up Y/n, never let go...

For the past three years, I was praying every moment that he'd be alive. I never was able to accept the fact that he was dead. He never was...

I was an emotional wreck, it was a feeling that was a mixture of happiness, shock and relief. My heart was thumping with happiness. I felt as if I was flying over cloud nine. My eyes glistened with the tears that welled up my sockets.

"Move it asshole!" Seokjin cussed at the man in front of us, honking the car loudly. I turned at him.

"Who are you? I mean how are you related to him?"

"Oh me? I'm his cousin. We grew up together" he answered, without taking his eyes off the road.

"Why is he leaving for America ?" Jimin popped up a question from behind.

"He said that there might be a chance that he would get any information about where she is from there"

We stayed quiet for some time. Everyone was dwelling on their worlds. I peeped my head from the open window seeing the heavy traffic ahead of us.

"It's lunchtime, the roads are busy at this time usually." Seokjin tried to soothe the moment.

I could see the view of the ocean from where I was. The ships that were anchored looked like toys to where we were. I kept fiddling my fingers with nervousness.

"This traffic is slowing us down," Jimin said, moving forward from his seat, and pointing to the long line of vehicles ahead of us. The horses that were carrying the carriages started neighing as the crowd was making them uneasy. People started honking their horns since everyone was in a hurry to move.

"There's a way," Seokjin suddenly drove the car into the pavement side, hitting hard on the accelerator.

"Move away people! The breaks aren't working!"  he popped his head out from the window and yelped. His words made people in the sideways shriek in horror, running to save their lives from the car that was driving insanely.

I held right onto the seat as Seokjin started driving like a crazy person, wincing in my eyes with fear. But unlike me, my brother Jimin was kind of enjoying it. We were able to make our way closer to the harbour. Seokjin hit on the brakes and stopped.

"Only this far we can go Y/n, you see that line of vehicles to the harbour? We have to wait till it's our chance," he turned at me.

"Go Y/n, go and find him." I glanced at him with widened eyes.

"It'll take us time to get there, you have to go and find him. Jimin and I'll come as soon as possible" Seokjin said, placing a hand on my shoulder, giving me a reassuring smile. I turned to Jimin.

He nodded, urging me to go.

"Go Y/n,"

As soon as I got down, I started running towards the harbour,  trespassing the gates that were halting the vehicles. Heavily panting, I entered. I ran as fast as my legs could take me.

I looked around at the people who were busily walking. I was lost in the middle of a pool of heads, desperately trying to find the face I wanted to see. Even though it was late noon, the sky was gloomy with rainy dark clouds. My chest heaved up and down fast as I was trying to catch my breath. My messy hair was loosened and fallen along my back. The bangs stuck to my forehead because of the sweat that was tickling down.

"Excuse me," I stopped a man that was passing by in a hurry.

"Do you know which ship is sailing to America?"  but the man shook his head and walked away hurriedly without answering my question. 

"Hello, excuse me, mam, do you know which ship is sailing to America?" I repeated my question to another person but she also shrugged and moved. Everyone seemed to be so busy with their work that they care less about it.

Hopeless...

My face lit up as I saw a police officer walking a few feet away. I strode towards him.

"Sir, can you tell me which ship is sailing to America?" he smiled at me with a nod.

"Certainly young miss, it's the ship over there...she's setting sail in a few minutes" he pointed at a three-funnelled passenger ship that was smoking black clouds to the air.

"Thank you so much " I mumbled and ran towards the line of passengers.

I tiptoed to catch a glimpse of him, but it made me anxious when I couldn't. He was probably already on the ship, I thought. I scooted through the crowd excusing myself into the front of the cue.

"Is there someone named Jeon Jungkook onboard?" I asked anxiously. But rather than giving me an answer the person who was checking the tickets scanned me head to toe with his sharp eyes.

"Are you a passenger?" I shook my head.

"No, but-"

"Then move away, she's leaving in five minutes.  We don't have time for this" he barked at my face, harshly pushing me away. The people in the line threw nasty looks at me.

"Please, he's on this ship, I want to meet him"

"No tickets, no entry, and please mam, you are holding the line" the same man spat at me, trying to get rid of me. My eyes welled up with both anger and agitation. The people behind me were groaning with annoyance.

"What's the fuss over here?" another man emerged, he wore the same uniform as the man who was collecting tickets.

"Take her away will you William?" the guy dragged me away from the crowd as his partner asked him, ignoring my conflict. I tried to slip away from him but he didn't let me.

"No please wait, Jungkook is there, I want to speak to him. Please tell him that I'm here! His Y/n is here..." I started crying out. But the man who held me with an iron grip cared less about it.

"Stay here or I'm calling the police" he threatened me with a stern voice, slightly shoving me away.

"Wait no!" I couldn't control the tears that were escaping.

"Jungkook! I'm here...please tell him I'm here!" I cried out loudly.

This can't be happening, I am about to lose him again.

The whistle of the ship blew loudly. The last people of the cue were taken in quickly. She was about to set sail.

"I'm here Jungkook" my voice started breaking down.

"Y/n?" 

That voice is too familiar. Did I hear it right?

I paused for a moment. Was I imagining things?

"Y/n, is that you?" the voice talked again, making me immediately turn behind.

The moment I saw the owner of the voice,  I swear that the whole world paused for a solid minute. I forgot how to breathe, my heart raced fast meeting the big doe eyes that were staring at me. I stuttered.

Just like the first day we met, those eyes that were beautiful like the deep ocean, they were staring at me. My breath hitched.

"Jungkook..."

Oh boy 🥸
