Even his weak smile was bright enough to light up my mood. Through his face, I could see the strength and also the hope inside as  Jungkook finally removed the mask he showed to the world. The tears he shed, ripping off his mask away.

He showed his weak point. He doesn't want to be alone again, He's scared to be alone, feel left alone,

I kept cooling him down, wiping his forehead and neck from the wet towel, again and again, to drop the temperature of his body. All night I stayed wide awake. I couldn't just sleep, leaving him like that. Even he was calmed and stable from his mind, he groaned from the exhaustion. He was shivering,

"Y/n, it's so cold," my heart mellowed as he whispered to me. He's not a guy who begs help from others. But now his strong body is laying down here, with a lack of energy remaining in it. His tone was too sad to hear,

I covered him with a blanket as his body temperature was not higher like before. I sat on the bed, slanting my self a little and made Jungkook lean on me. I reached my hand to take the glass of water that I stirred the pills. I stroked his head,

"You have to drink this," he opened one eyelid along with his cute smile on his face. God, he's so cute even he's not in a very good condition.

I helped him to sit down, closening the glass to his lips. Jungkook drank all of it without a single complaint.

"You are gonna be ok," I tried to smile, trying to cheer him up. But actually it was reverse. He's the one who makes me less worried about his condition.

"Of course I am. You are with me"

His orbs glimmered as he smiled. My heart was flattered by his words. I couldn't help but smile back at him. I kept the glass away and rested his head on my chest. One of my hands was with him, he kept playing with my fingers. He's like a little kid, I felt like squeezing his cheeks.

"You should sleep," I stroked his head from my other hand as I softly talk to him.

" You remind me of my mother. She used to do that till I fall asleep"

I want to ask about his mother, his story. What made him go through this much if pain? Why did his mother left him all alone? Tons of questions were remaining in my head, but I had to wait to get those answers. He's still not ready.

"You must love her a lot"

I moved his hair on the forehead to press my lips there. He's like a little kid who's in his mom's embrace.

" Take some rest Jungkook. We can talk later,"my fingers ran through his silky soft hair to make him fall asleep. He was getting drowsy because of the pills. In a while, he was asleep again, comfortably.

His temperature was slowly going down while his fast breathing came to a normal state. The paleness of his face was fading away, making the usual pinkish tint appear on his face. His dry lips were again back to normal rosy lips. I just stared at his face. So calm and peaceful.

I still remember the first day we met. So many things happened. Even my destiny was cruel, it led me to an awesome journey. A journey that changed my whole life.

I sighed. We came on a journey together because we are meant to be, I could feel it from deep inside my heart. The ground was feeling so heavier now. I'm singing all by myself here, It was a beautiful song after all,

The dusk was shading to dawn, making world awaken by the smooch kiss of the sun rays. The pinkish orange colour of the beam fallen from rising sun was glamorous. East wind that blew from the far horizon was adding utmost freshness to the already refreshing feeling. The breeze that interior the heat of the sun and the chill of the ocean waves, gusted through the branches of the trees, getting less aggressive as it entered the room through the window.

I noticed something strange,

The surrounding wasn't blurred or fuzzy anymore. I looked around the room, at the view I could see through the window. It was normal. My eyes weren't hurting anymore as I focused on an object. The vision was good as new,

I can't believe it, finally... finally I'm fully recovered,

I pointed my finger to my forehead and focused on it. Again moved it back and forth while moving my eyes along it, exactly the way Doctor Kang told me to do. I exercised my eyes like that. It was getting better and better.

I kept doing it till I felt Jungkook turning to the other side, sleepily,

He's like a sleeping angel. I took him enveloped my hands around him, pulling him closer to me. Wish we could be forever like this, without worrying about anything, being happy forever, but I know nothing is forever, I suddenly heard his voice,

" Y/n," 

Did I wake him up? Jungkook opened his eyes and gazed at me. "I have something to tell you, I never wanted to bring this up again," he sighed and rested his head on the headboard next to me in the bed.

Even he said he wanted to talk, I could see the jittering agitation inside him. He was nervous. Maybe he needs some more time?

" Jungkook it's ok you don't have to tell if you don't want,"

He slid an arm behind me and caught my waist pulling me near him. In his low soft voice, he talked to me,

"I don't wanna run away from it anymore. I'm sick of it, sick of hiding and running away," he stared at the wall in front of us, trying to gather the courage and words to tell his story.

"There is something to do with your mother doesn't it?" he hummed and  finally started talking, revealing his past to me.

"We were a happy family. Me and my parents. We lived like an ordinary family," he clenched his jaws, "Only  until we met the devil," there was only man that could refer to the word "Devil",

" Ki sung,"

" Yes," he continued talking, "I remember the first day he met my father, he looked so nice and charming in person. I saw him as a perfect man who lead the most successful  CEO company,"

That charming looks of Ki Sung, My uncle, were hiding his real face, the real personality of him. Even I was astonished when I saw him for the first time. The devilish desires under his charming smile were so dangerous like a sharp blade that cuts both sides.

He managed to fool them. Like everyone else, he busted into their lives too, Jungkook's life,

"Without knowing what was coming next, my father signed a business deal with him. He was so happy the day he got it. Little did he know was that Ki Sung had something else on his mind. He used my father's  sign for another contract."

" He faked it to get your dad's sign to another contract?"

Jungkook nodded. "What was it?" I asked him, looking at him. He was silent for a second,

" To sell our family to the Mafia and to work under him till our lifeline ended,"

My eyes widened in disbelief as he said with hanging his head low. How could he... How could he do such vicious things to people? He did everything for only his sake, Why does he even exist in this world? My blood was again boiling with anger, without even knowing, my fists curved to a ball.

" What did your father do?" I asked after a while. He heaved a deep sigh,

"After dad figured out what all this was, he couldn't find a way to run away from it. It was too late to do that,"  Why was it always too late? He suddenly chuckled in a dark way, with frustration and hate trapped in it,

"Here's the best part, my father was such a coward. He did it, he sold his wife and son to the Mafia king,"

"What!" I couldn't believe what I just heard. His father sold them just like that? But after I think again, Maybe he didn't have a choice after all, like Namjoon's father, he was also trapped.

"Unbelievable huh? I know, but my mother kept telling me that he did that to protect us," he wobbled his cheeks, pausing for a while.

"Well, sometimes you have to do the wrong thing to do the right thing," He glanced at me and smiled a little. "That's the exact same thing my mom said," he again focused on the wall, continuing his story,

"I was only 10 years old when it all happened," Such a young age.

" What happened to your father after he solf you?"

" What do think that happened? My father was wrong. He couldn't save us or himself. He suddenly disappeared. It wasn't a coincidence or an accident, I know it was Ki Sung's work," I gulped as I assumed what happened to Jungkook's father. Ki Sung killed him as well didn't he?

" I wasn't scared because my mother said that she will always be there for me. She said she won't leave me no matter what. We were slaves under KI Sung. She did everything he said, just to keep me safe. He promised to take care of me if she works for him,"

His voice was changing. He was stopping and stuttering. I took his hand and gave it a light squeeze. The stream of words was a flowing mixture with all anger and pain inside him.

"She was the only one who loved me," his voice was quiet, "Ki sung kept his promise, that freak treated me the same as his son, Oh Ki Hyuk,"

Jungkook and my cousin brother were grown up together? This is complicated, everything is connected,

"My mother was getting sick. She was getting weaker day by day. Her body was getting slender. But she kept working," his voice shattered to pieces " She kept working because of me," I glanced at him as his voice cracked. His was biting his lip hard, trying to control his watery sockets,

"One day she faced an accident. She was in charge of transporting some drugs that day. It was the darkest and unluckiest day of my life," my eyes got softened. I talked in a quiet voice,

" Did she die because of the accident?" He shook his head to sides, denying it." No, she didn't, She escaped and managed to get out alive, but the drugs that valued thousands of dollars were ruined, and it was because of her fault,"

I didn't want to think what happened next, I knew it won't be anything good. After messing up that mob boss's work, you are good as dead. I saw the results from my own eyes,

"Mom came back to our lair, I was glad to see her but Ki Sung was the opposite. He said only one thing to her," he gritted his teeth, trying to control the agony,

"Bitch, do you know that, those things are worth more than your filthy life?" he gulped as he said, "That's what Ki Sung said, the only thing he cared about was his money. He didn't care about her,"

Other people's  lives weren't under his considerations. The blood shed was everywhere without mercy. I could sense what was coming ahead.

"What happened to her?" After a great effort, I managed let out some words.

" She failed his orders, my mom no longer had rights to live," he couldn't control it anymore. The tears were rolling down his cheeks, he glanced at me with his teary eyes,

" She didn't deserve to live anymore Y/n"
