[Chapter 17]

⎻

Mrs. Min was sleeping as the doctor's words were ringing in Chaeyeon's head.

FLASHBACK

The doctor came out from the ER as Chaeyeon walks up to him.

"How's my mom?" - Chaeyeon

"Your mom is safe now." - Doctor

Chaeyeon sigh in relief.

"But .." - Doctor

Chaeyeon then stopped smiling in relief as her attention was on him.

"When your mother was being brought in, she hit her head somewhere in the bathroom that caused her head to lose a lot of blood." - Doctor

"Wha-What are you trying to say, doctor?" - Chaeyeon

"The injury on your mother's head was too deep. I may have stitched the wound up but the injury affected the brain badly." - Doctor

Chaeyeon stayed silent as she balled up her hand into a fist with anxious for the next news.

"I don't know if your mother is ever going to wake up again." - Doctor

Everything around Chaeyeon suddenly stopped moving as the words went through her ears and went back out ... being in denial.

FLASHBACK END

Tears then trekked down from her eyes as she quickly wipes them away while the door opened up, in coming Aunt Jiyoung and Yoongi. Chaeyeon stood up to greet them but stopped midway when she saw someone familiar behind Yoongi. He came right in front of Yoongi as Chaeyeon's eyes widen.

"Jun-Jungkook? What are you doing here?" - Chaeyeon

"I came to convince you to stay in Seoul." - Jungkook

Chaeyeon then walked up to Jungkook and grabbed him by his arm as she drags him away from the room and into the hallway. She quickly lets his arm go and turned around to face him. She gave him a blank expression as Jungkook observes her features.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" - Jungkook

"Because ... you're being stubborn at the moment." - Chaeyeon

"And you're not?" - Jungkook

"I'm just doing us a favor ... saving us from the pain in the future." - Chaeyeon

"How are you so sure we're going to go through pain instead of happiness in the future?" - Jungkook

"Because of what happened in the past." - Chaeyeon

"Past is the past, Chaeyeon. We need to focus on the present." - Jungkook

"That's what everybody kept on saying Jungkook. They kept on saying to leave the past in the past, but how could we do that when the past was part of our lives? When the past was part of our memories?" - Chaeyeon

"I know that the past can't be erased or fixed ... but at least give the present a chance to make it up for what happened in the past." - Jungkook

"How can we do that when all we felt is pain ... worriedness?" - Chaeyeon

Jungkook then walked up to her and held onto both of her hands. When he felt her cold hands, he quickly tries to make them warm again by rubbing his hands against hers. Chaeyeon's eyes softens at his action as she watches his every move.

Both of them stayed in silent as Jungkook continues to make her hands warm. Whenever Chaeyeon tries to take her hands away, Jungkook held his grip tighter to make sure her hands stays in placed.

When Jungkook noticed that her hands were warm again, he gently lossen his tight grip and softly held onto her hands.

"I love you Chaeyeon and this time I'm not hesitating to say it." - Jungkook

Chaeyeon arched her eyebrows as she looks at him.

"That won't change anything Jungkook. You're getting married with RyuJin next month." - Chaeyeon

"We're not getting married." - Jungkook

Chaeyeon was now confused.

"What are you talking about?" - Chaeyeon

Jungkook then caressed her cheek as he eyed her with his soft eyes.

"The only woman that I'm willing to marry is you. No one is ever going to take your place." - Jungkook

Chaeyeon eyes softens as his words softly echos in her ears. Before she knew it, she already felt his soft lips pressed against hers.
