WARNING: Mention of PTSD

"Somebody help, help!"

"Throw the wire, throw the god damn wire away" somebody bawled.

Before I could turn, Amber grasped the wire from my hand and threw it over a tree. "It's gone, hey, it's gone" Amber voiced rubbing Jungkook's chest, he reposed before swooning.

He was right away taken to one of uncle Kim's rooms. Everything happened at breakneck speed, and I didn't get the chance to know what happened. He seemed scared, of me, when I tried to hold him, he pushed me away, I didn't really understand but I was hurt, I've never seen him like that. I was terrified and worried, he looked like he was about to die. He held his chest like he was injured and gasped for air making his face go red. It was all unrealistic.

I have been walking in the hallway, in search of the room, where he was taken to, at that time I bumped into Amber's rock like figure. "Your mum is asking for you" he informed going past me.  I saw her at the end of the hallway. I ran over there, then slowed down when Jungkook's mother came into my view. She was crying while my mum comforted her.

"Are you alright?" Mum pumped when I was in front of them. "How is he? Is he alright?" I question ignoring her words. "He is alright, don't worry Aerin" uncle Jeon affirmed coming out of the room we were standing in front of.

"And he wishes to see you" he conveys, before he could say anything I barged Inside the room. He was sitting on the bed, drained and out of energy. He doesn't look like him. He was jumpy, wild, and troublesome just a few minutes ago and now, the exact opposite. When I went near him. "I...are you alright?"

He patted on the bed, asking me to sit, as soon as I did, his huge but sensitive body hugged me. "I am sorry" he whispered after a very long break. "For...pushing you, I didn't mean to..." he continued but I don't want to hear, I just want to know what happened.

"What happened?"

"Why did you suddenly-" I stopped when his face slightly fell over my shoulder. Is he sleeping? "Jungkook?" He hummed in response. Okay, this baby is gonna sleep.

I slightly push him backwards, making his back support the headboard. His shirt was unbuttoned, exposing his chest and the scar. It's still healing, I trace my finger over the scar, feeling his slow yet peaceful heartbeats. "He got heart transplant...a year ago" uncle Jeon declared closing the door.

Is that what his mother was talking about in the hospital? "But what happened now? Why did he pass out" I impatiently asked standing up. "Panic attack, nothing to worry" he assured packing his case. "Panic attack? I am totally confused. "He...I...I think he might want to tell you himself" uncle Jeon hesitated unable to disclose his son's problems.

"If you ever see any wire around him, please do not let it come in his way, he just got surgery and it can lead to his death" that's when I remembered Amber throwing the wire.

"He has post-traumatic stress disorder" he finished, letting me get over the huge amount of information about Jungkook. Traumatic stress disorder? Which means he has been traumatized by something, and that something would be that damn wire. "I think you should rest, you can meet him tomorrow" he imparted and that's when Aria entered the room. "Eugene's waiting, let's go" she muttered.

Aria and I were in the car, waiting for Eugene who was called by mum. "I heard what happened there, is he alright?" Aria interrupted the quiet atmosphere. "Yeah, he is doing alright" I reply quietly, thinking about what his dad said. It keeps replaying in my head. Post-traumatic stress disorder, why didn't he tell me before? Was this included when he said he had something to tell me? Well, I am getting to know him little by little.

When that incident happened, Amber never let him go, he held him till the others came. He looked scared, scared of losing, it was very clear in his eyes. As soon as he saw the wire, he snatched it from me and threw it over the trees, by any chance did he know about it?

Maybe he knew because they knew each other since kindergarten. Does that mean Aria know about it it as well? "Aria, did you know about his trauma?" I questioned, desperately in need of an answer. "I had no idea" she shrugged. If she knew she'd tell me beforehand.

It's been 10 minutes and Eugene hasn't returned yet. He was the one who called us and now he had disappeared. Aria called him more than 8 times but he didn't pick nor did he send a message. "I think we should go and find that fatass" Aria angrily mutters throwing her phone in my direction. Before she'd open the door, Amber got in the car. "Eugene has gone somewhere with your dad and I'll be dropping you both" he sighed, very loudly, so that we could hear.

"No thanks, you may leave, we'll go by ourselves" Aria demanded. He didn't listen as expected and started the engine. "Are you dumb?" She hit the back of the seat he was seated on as he wasn't responding. "Can you shut up?" He argued. "Your voice is just so fucking irritating" he continues. "Are you kidding me?"

"Do I look like I am kidding?"

"No! you look like a stupid fat ugly donkey"

"Thanks for the compliment"

"You are very much welcome"

Thank goodness, if they'd continue, I'd literally jump and kill myself. I would've joined Aria but I am not in the mood to argue with him when I know his other side. The other caring, worried side of Amber. On the other side, he is scared to show. The other side only I've seen.

AUTHOR'S P.o.v

Amber parked the car in the dorm parking. And waited for them to get lost. "Aerin, wake up" Aria tried to wake her up. But Aerin isn't the one who can wake up so easily. Even if this world was going to end, she wouldn't wake up. When aria was busy waking her up, Amber was waiting outside the car.

"Let her sleep there" Amber whispered and smiled as he couldn't take the cuteness. "You!" Aria called out. "Carry her" she commanded moving aside. "Okay.......wait what? Why'd I do that?" He argued backing away.

After a great argument, Amber finally gave up, saying that he will carry Aerin to her room. He gave up mostly because of Aerin's cuteness. Aria left and ran upstairs, to open her room.

"How can you look so cute" Amber mumbled picking her up. He loved how she was pressed on him. Her sweet yet lavender scent, nothing in this world, smells as good as her, he thought.

He never stopped thinking about her since the day he acted like a dick towards her. Always wondered how'd she look with him or when he acted well towards her. He carefully placed Aerin on her bed while Aria tugged her. "You may leave" Aria disrespectfully said. "And you may shut up"

"Fuck off"

"Gladly"
