Chapter || 14
Blood & Hospital
[19 February]
Mayesha's POV
"Yes I'll be your boyfriend!"
My body froze at his words and my phone slipped from my fingers.
I know that might seem too dramatic but when you hear the love of your life say yes to become a bitch's boyfriend, dramatic is least reaction you get from the person.
I peaked front stage and saw Jin walking towards the stage. We made brief eye contact and I thought I saw despair flash in eyes but then it vanished the next second.
Illusions.
Auri came back to set up the recording amd after making sure I was stable she left. She would momentarily glance at me to make sure I wouldn't collapse on the floor any second or so.
What she doesn't know is that, there is nothing for me to fall for, I have already fallen into a dark abyss, never to return again.
I turned back and covered my mouth, silently crying. Tears poured down my cheeks and I collapsed on the floor. I tried to call for Auri but I couldn't find my voice and I started to hyperventilate. I coughed and when I removed my to see what was stuck to my palm, I nearly screamed.
Blood.
You should had taken your meds timely, now look you're coughing up blood, my brain sreamed.
How would I know that I'll have a panic attack?! I thought back.
Panic attacks....
I didn't have them for years?! What triggered them now?
My eyes widened momentarily.
Kim SeokJin!
My body collapsed on the floor with a thud. And that was the last thing I remembered before darkness took over me.
Auritri's POV
Thud!
I should had known that the small thud I heard should had been Mayesha and not someone else. I looked around and saw anger flash in everyone's eyes and they glared at an amused Mahiyat and an emotionless Jin.
Jin, how much I loved that man for making my May happy and now I hate him for making May sad, I only want to strangle him the more I look at his stone expression. He stood like a statue but I know he must had been surprised too.
A screeched sounded from behind us and I turned around to look at Hoseok storming off, Jimin looked at me and I nodded my head, urging him to follow Hoseok along with the boys.
I turned back around and thought that I saw a glimpse of green dress by the stage.
I frowned and thought 'maybe I should check on Mayesha'.
I quickly walked back stage as Zahra continued to scream at them. What I saw next stopped my heart.
There, behind the stage, lay Mayesha, with blood on her hands.
I immediately screamed, "ZAHRA!!"
Zahra's POV
I kept on screaming at them using my native tongue which is, I won't tell. Mahiyat looked irritated and Jin looked confused.
Can I slap him, brain? I asked.
No you can't! What if it upsets May? The rational side of my brain said.
No, no! You should torture him first then kill him slowly and brutally, that would be fun, the irrational side of my brain said.
And I can't help it but side with the irrational side of my brain this time, only.
"ZAHRA!!" I heard Auri scream and quickly rushed towards to and saw her sobbing.
Why the hell is she crying? She never cries.
My heart thumped loudly inside my chest as her sobs got louder, each time I took two steps forward.
When I reached the back stage I immediately gave a cry of horror.
Seeing your best friend lying and covered in blood is not a sight to see and I hope no one goes through that.
"ZAHRA CALL THE AMBULANCE!!" Auri cried as she turned Mayesha's body backside down. I flinched visibly as I fumbled with my phone to call the ambulance.
I couldn't even call them because of my shaking hands and so Jungkook did the honour of calling the ambulance.
"They will be here in 10 minutes-" "10 minutes is too long!" I cried as I kneeled beside my best friend's bloody body. I squeezed her bloodied hand while tears streamed down my face.
How did this happen?! She was fine a minute ago? How did she become like this?
Only one person can make her like this.
Jin.
I got up, turned around, wiped my tears and walked towards Jin. "Do you know how she is like this?" I asked calmly, too calmly. Jin just shook his head confused.
"BECAUSE OF YOU! *points finger at Jin* IF YOU HADN'T BETRAYED HER SHE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS!" I screamed at his face and he became shocked. "IF I EVER SEE YOU NEAR MAYESHA AGAIN I WILL PERSONALLY KILL YOU, EVEN IF THAT PUTS ME IN JAIL OR JUNGKOOK BREAKS UP WITH ME STILL I WILL NEVER REGRET IT! ARESSO?!" I kept on screaming at his face and he kept on taking in my insults.
It frustrated me but I screamed until the paramedics came to take Mayesha's body. I stopped screaming and followed them to the ambulance. "Who is her family member?" The paramedic asked. I pointed at Auri, Nuzh and myself and they let us inside the car.
"Remember Jin, I don't want you anywhere near May, Ihae!" I said and the paramedic closed the door with my final glare to Jin and Mahiyat.
(time skip)
Nothing happened in the ambulance except Mayesha murmuring Jin's name and once in a while taking very heavy and deep breaths.
They rushed to admit her to the ICU and I filled up the form. "I think you girls should go home and take some rest and then come back home, we won't be done till around 3am" the doctor had told us.
"It's 12:30 now, I think I'll stay and you girls go and freshen up, take some rest and then return" Nuzh suggested and we nodded our heads. We went home and freshened ourselves.
(time skip)
"Nuzh? Nuzh! Wake up!" I whisper-yelled into Nuzh's ear. "Huh? What? What? What happened?" Nuzh asked in a slightly panicking but sleepy voice. "Nothing happened, you go home and take some rest. Come tomorrow morning at 9 sharp, aresso?" I said and she nodded her head.
"Where is Auri?" Nuzh asked when she was about to walk away. "Home, taking rest. She will come tomorrow afternoon after lunch" I said and ushered her to leave me alone. When I was the only one in the hallway, my tears broke.
Stupid weak lower eyelid, can't even hold back these tears!
I sobbed silently in the hands when I felt two arms wrap around me and the reassuring words of my love.
"Everything will be alright love. Stay strong for Mayesha, she wouldn't want you to cry like this, would she?"
"Ani, she wouldn't want me to cry but what else can I do? I couldn't even save my best friend?! Do you know why she coughed up blood? Do you know the story behind it?! No, you don't! If you had you would feel the same pain as me" I said, sniffling now.
"Of course I don't know the story behind her, this condition but she still wouldn't want you to cry like this, would she?" I shaked my head 'no'. He grabbed my wet face and turned me towards him, "Then stop crying because if she is conscious now and can hear your cries she will kick my ass, I love my ass a lot you know?." He said and I chuckled.
I cupped his cheek and whispered, "Thank you for cheering me up". He smiled and caressed my hair softly. I buried my face into his neck and took in his cologne secretly but he caught me. "Are you smelling me?" He asked and pulled my head from his neck by my hair. "Uh...um...no?" I said as he tilted my head to look at him in the eye.
He raised an eyebrow at the blush rising on my cheeks, his amused eyes analysed my face and then stopped on my lips. I sucked in a sharp breathe upon noticing his lingering gaze on my lips. He looked in my eyes and inched closer towards my face until our noses were touching, I was breathing rapidly and heavily by then.
I, upon getting the message, leaned in until our lips touched. He pressed gently on my lips and kissed me slowly. Our lips moved in sync and before I knew it he licks my bottom lip and asking for permission to enter his tongue.
And who the hell was I to deny that?!
I opened my mouth slightly and he plunged his tongue. A little moan escaped my lips when he tasted every each of my mouth. He tilted my head slightly to the left to get access and started to kiss me hungrily. I grabbed his hair and pulled, making a groan escape his throat. I could feel trembles and shivers running through my spine and my mind being send to another unexplainable galaxy.
He's an A🌠 kisser, I have got to admit that.
We pulled away after a few minutes with red, plump lips and heavy breathing.
"You do know that was my first kiss?" I whispered, "Of course love, seeing that you couldn't kiss me properly!" He whispered back and laughed. I slapped him his arm and turned my back towards him.
"Jerk!" I muttered, "I heard that!" He said. "I don't care!" I replied back.
We were bickering for quite some time when the ICU's door opened and the doctor came out. We stopped bickering and I rushed to the doctor, "Doctor! How is she? Is she okay?" I fired him with questions and he sighed, taking his glasses off and rubbing his eyes.
"She is stable for now and the rest I'll tell you in the morning when the report comes, okay?" The doctor said and I nodded my head. After he left I collapsed on the chair, holding my head and my love comforting me.
"Everything will be alright love, don't worry jebal!" He kept on murmuring sweet things in my ear but I couldn't, didn't want to hear a single thing.
I got up and walked towards the exit and my love following me. I stopped in front of my car and said "Oppa, you should leave now we will talk in the morning, okag?" From the corner of my eye I saw him hesitate to leave me alone but then nodded his head and walked away to his car.
I got in my car and waited for him to leave. Before he left, a light flashed on his face making his tears known to me. I gasped lightly and watched my love leave.
I sighed loudly, fustrated with my own behavior towards him, and slammed my head on the steering wheel.
I did not mean to hurt him! I-I was upset with the news!
Tears freely rolled down my cheeks and I sniffed loudly. After a few moments I collected myself and decided it was time for me to go home, so I did just that. Drove home with painful thoughts in my mind.
Is this how my life is going to be from now on? My best friend at the mouth of death and my relationship with him crumbling?
SeokJin's POV (a/n: you have some explaining to do young handsome man)
"You have some explaining to do you stupid old man!" Suga asked calmly. "I'm older then you Min and you do not order me!" I replied back. He got up from the his bed and stood in front of me.
Even though the man was short, he was really intimidating. I, myself, fear him sometimes even though I'm the eldest and the leader of Bangtan.
"Well I'm not ordering you I'm just asking, because you hurt the woman who's my woman's sister, elder that too." "Well? I don't care I like Mahiyat that's not my fault" I replied without meeting his eyes.
"Lie" With that simple word, I didn't know that my whole strong facade will crumble into pieces. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I silently cried and Suga let me.
After I was done flooding the room, I wiped my tears and hugged Suga tightly. He patted my back and comforted me with his sweet words.
I know right? Suga and sweet words in the same sentence, as he basically doesn't show any emotion towards me at all.
"Now would you tell me why you betrayed Mayesha?" Suga asked gently as if I'll cry again any second now. "To protect" "How do you protect a person by betraying the same person?" Suga asked. I glared at him and he shut up. "Mahiyat was working with that psycho. She herself didn't know it was her accomplice's boss who was Mayesha's stalker. When he told her about it, she blackmailed me about it. She even threatened to ruin our fame by exposing our Mafia side which I don't want and so I agreed to be her boyfriend. But she didn't know that it would affect Mayesha so much even though she betrayed Mayesha as well" I explained him.
Suga rubbed his chin while thinking what to say. "I think you should tell this to Zahra, at least she would help?" I shook my head 'no' and snatched his phone away before he could call Zahra.
"ANDWAE! She would kill me, she already wants to, now she will have a bigger reason to kill me and I don't wanna die before telling Mayesha the truth, aresso? So jebal! Don't tell anyone anything jebal!" I said desperately. Suga thought for a moment and then sighed heavily, "Okay fine, I won't tell anyone but you have to eventually tell them before its too late" Suga said and I nodded my head 'okay'.
A knock sounded on our door, "Come in" I said. The person kept on knocking, "I said come in!" I shouted this time. The person kept on knocking and I gave a frustrated sigh, "Come in" Suga said this time and Jimin entered our room.
"Suga hyung, have you seen Jungkook?" Jimin asked without looking at me.
Ignored.
"No I haven't. Where is he by the way, it's almost 3am where can he be?" Suga asked worriedly. Just then a door being opened and slammed shut sounded down the hallway. We got up and followed the sound, Jimin behind us.
"Yah! Jungkook-ah! Where were you?" Suga asked with a relived tone. Jungkook just smiled at Suga's worry and glared at me, I don't know why.
"Jungkook-ah! Wait for meeee!" Jimin shouted and ran behind Jungkook. I sighed, now my maknaes also hate me!
What am I supposed to do now?!
"Jin, everything will be alright, just give them some time to get used to this atmosphere" Suga said and patted my shoulder then he left to our room.
I was about to walk away too when the front door opened and slammed shut again and Mahiyat's screeching voice echoed inside the house.
"Jin baby! Where are you?! Give me a kiss love!!"
[20 February]
Zahra's POV
Its been two days since the incident and two days since I last saw Jungkook's face. He did not dare come to meet me the next morning due to my negligence.
I am an idiot for behaving like that with him....
"Zahra lets go and eat, then we can sulk in Mayesha's room" Nuzh said and led me out of the room and into the hospital's cafeteria.
Surprisingly, this hospital had tasty food in the cafeteria and I'm glad that I chose this hospital for Mayesha. They had good services and the doctors looked sincere with their work.
I was halfway done with my food when I thought I saw Jin passing by the cafeteria. I got up to check if it was Jin or not.
Humph! There's no Jin here! I must had been imagining him, I thought.
I shrugged and went inside the cafeteria to finish my food.
(time skip)
It was almost past 5pm and we were now walking towards Mayesha's room. We had our lunch and then went shopping with Namjoon and Jimin, who kindly took our old clothes back to our respective houses. I had asked them about Jungkook but what they said, worried me a lot.
FLASHBACK STARTED
We were laughing at something Namjoon said when suddenly I remembered about Jungkook.
"Namjoon? How is Jungkook?" I asked casually. "Not well at all, he has been locked inside his room for two days!" Jimin answered and Namjoon only nodded confirming Jimin's words.
"He did not even come out for food?!" I asked, worried now. "Only when Suga hyung orders him and otherwise he is locked inside our room" Namjoon said. "I'm worried about him, he has been like this since the day he last went out" Jimin sighed.
"What do you mean 'last went out'? I asked, "On the nineteenth he was out late at night and he returned at around 3am." Jimin said.
"Wasn't he with you at that time?" Namjoon asked. I nodded my head slowly, and then it all clicked in my mind.
He thinks I regreted the kiss and now he is avoiding me!
"You must have done something because he wouldn't even come out of his room even if we talked about you, what did you do?" Jimin asked.
I sighed, there was no use hiding the truth from them but then again Jungkook would had told them about the kiss!
Maybe he felt ashamed of me or he regretted the kiss?
I don't know, but it's not my place to tell them the truth. Only Mayesha will know the truth first then the others.
"I did nothing, let's not talk about him anymore?" I said and they quietly nodded their heads. We went back to our previous conversation with a slightly gloomy atmosphere.
FLASHBACK ENDED
I have to talk to him soon but not now.
With that thought, I opened Mayesha's hospital room and was greeted with a sight which angered me a lot.
Jin holding my May's hand with a pained expression and May looking at him with wide eyes.
Ohh, he's so dead!
