Begin - IV

Sohye breathed in and ran head straight to Jungkook.

Yes,  she was a spirit, and she can’t touch him, but if she was right, she could possess him. And that was enough to save him.

She rammed to his body, the impact shocked Sohye, electrocuting her. But she didn't let that bother her, with all her might she pushed Jungkook’s body off the road. They fell on the ground, face flat causing Jungkook’s head to hit the pavement with a loud thud.

After what seemed to be a long second, Sohye breathed out and slowly stood up.

Her spirit leaving Jungkook’s unconscious body on the ground. She gasped in horror.

“Jeon Jungkook…” she called, but the guy didn’t move.

Was she able to save him on time?

“He’s alright,” a voice said. Its familiarity instantly brought comfort to Sohye. She turned her head back and saw V standing behind him, his blue-grey eyes staring at Jungkook.

“He’s alive, you saved him,” he said in a tone that seemed to reassure her. This surprised Sohye. Wasn’t he supposed to be angry at her because she won?

V turned to her, and something flickered across his face. In an instant, his mood changed. He smirked and coldly laughed at her.

“Now, wasn’t that fun?” he stated, chuckling. “I almost had him with that truck if only you were--”

“This isn’t funny, V,” Sohye cut him off. She never liked it when he talked that way as if life was just something you can easily throw away. “These are lives we're talking about here. How can you just play with them?”

V’s expression hardened. “Because I’m the Evil, and you can't change anything about that,” he said and disappeared with a snap of his fingers.

Sohye just sighed and turned her attention to Jungkook. The truck driver had just stopped and come out to check on him. He called the emergency hotline to ask for help. Minutes later, an ambulance came and picked up Jungkook.

Sohye, all the while, stayed by Jungkook’s side, never leaving him. He was taken to the hospital where she was also confined. Good thing, Jungkook didn’t receive any serious injuries except for a few scars and a big bump on his forehead. His parents came minutes later, rushing to the ER.

An hour or two later, Jungkook woke up and his parents immediately rushed to his side.

“Mother… father…” he said weakly as he sat up. His face scrunched up as if worried they would yell at him. Instead, his mother cried and hugged him, his father following the suit.

“Don’t you ever do that do us, Jeon Jungkook,” his mother cried out. “We love you. We were so worried. I thought I had lost you forever...”

His mother voice trailed off as she continues to cry. His father reassured her and Jungkook that everything will be alright.

“Sorry Jungkook, sorry if we didn’t understand you,” his father apologized, tightening his hug on them.

Overwhelmed and surprised by his parent’s actions, tears came down from Jungkook eyes as he released all the hurt and sadness he had bottled up the past days. He hugged them back and cried, and told his parents he love them, something he hadn't said for so long.

Sohye watched by the corner. All the while, thankful she was able to save the boy named Jeon Jungkook.
