Nabi opened her eyes, scanned the room quickly, and sighed, closing them again. She had been used to waking up in hospital rooms for the past month, and she was no longer impressed. Wait! Jungkook? She sat up abruptly and looked around again.
Of course he wasn't there, she would only see him in her dreams and memories of him. She looked at her hand, into which some system was flowing. She jerked and pulled the long needle out of her vein. "Mrs. Jeon, for God's sake!" a sister screamed and walked over to her."Leave me alone." Nabi sighed wearily and walked to the door. It was as if tons of stones had fallen on her shoulders. Wondering where to go, maybe the roof? No, Jungkook would laugh that it was too dramatic. For him, anything that came to her mind would be too dramatic.
"What would you do, bunny?" she asked aloud, leaning against the wall, her eyes closed. "I'd go back to bed before the bunny caught me getting out!" her breath caught. Was he still dreaming? "What kind of medicine have they given me that I can even hear you, bunny?" she let out a trap of air, opened her eyes, and found herself face to face with Jungkook.
"J-J-Jungkook!" he looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Where do you think you're going, foxy?" his deep voice caressed her, her eyes filled with tears and her knees softened. Jungkook picked her up and led her back into the room. He placed her on the bed and stepped back to make room for the nurse, who hurried back to the system.
Nabi kept her eyes on his as he watched the nurse carefully so as not to hurt Nabi in any way.The nurse finished and left. Jungkook looked at her, tenderness and love gleaming in his eyes.
"Jungkook?" her voice trembled as her heart hoped, though she knew it was impossible. She was at his funeral, seeing the coffin buried in the ground. He approached and sat down next to her, took her hands and began to gently kiss them.
Her ears were ringing, he didn't answer, and she gritted her teeth, pulling her hands roughly. "Who are you?" she hissed and narrowed her eyes. Jungkook stared at her in shock. Nabi pulled back the blanket, trying to get up. Her eyes followed the man across from her. "I asked who are you? Why do you look like Jungkook?" her voice dropped to a feeble whisper as the movements squeezed her little strength.
"Nabi ..." Jungkook continued to look at her confused. "No! Whoever you are, no matter how you look like him, you're not Jungkook!" she tried to run her legs past him. "If you were my Jungkook, you would be shouting at me now, accusing me of not taking care of myself!" he began to get angry at who he was thinking. "Jeon Nabi!" he gritted his teeth. "Go back to bed immediately and stop lecturing me before I go crazy!" his voice rose and he leaned menacingly over her.
"Jeon Jungkook, get away from her right away before I kill you!" Ae Ri roared from the door. They both glared at her. "She may be your wife, but she's in the hospital and neither you nor anyone else will harass her while I'm around!" she stood against them with her hands on her hips. "Damn me if I let my wife kill herself because she thinks I'm dead!" Jungkook roared and stood boldly against her. "I don't care what you want! Get lost before I get all your courage out of your ass, you sucker!" Jungkook raised an arrogant eyebrow. "Sucker? Sucker! I'm a married man, noona, I'm not a child and now only my wife has the right to shout at me like that!" he gritted his teeth."Oh, he was married, and where were you last month, you idiot, where were you while she was dying slowly, huh?" Ae Rei was furious. "Where were you while she lived with the thought of your death, while crying hysterically, praying to die to be with you?" he sobbed, stepping back until she kept yelling at him. "Where were you when she had nightmares, where were you, while Namjoon and I were trying to get the pills out of her hand, where were you while we watched her melt with grief? Where have you been, her husband? " he had nowhere to retreat.
Nabi watched Jungkook give in to the accusations, his feet hitting the bed, and he struggled to keep his balance, tears streaming down his cheeks as Ae Ri bombarded him with questions. The same questions she had asked herself, but now there were new questions in their place. Her grief mingled with reality when she realized that the man opposite her was her Jungkook, that he was alive, that he had left her alone to suffer while he was, a god knows where, doing who knows what.
"Enough!" Nabi shouted, and they both looked at her in astonishment. "Ae Ri, would you leave us alone?" Nabi kept her eyes on Jungkook. Ae Ri hesitated, but stepped out angrily and clenched fists.
As soon as Ae Ri came out, Jungkook tried to take Nabi's hands again, apologize to her, explain. "I do not want to know!" she interrupted firmly. "Fox ..." she shook her head angrily. "You have nothing to tell me, Jungkook, nothing justifies what I went through thinking you were dead!" her voice was low a cold whisper. "Honey, I ..." he watched pleadingly as she pulled away from him with a stony expression. "Go away!" she looked away and gritted her teeth. "And try not to see you again soon!" Nabi hissed, turned to one side and shrugged, not wanting to talk anymore. "Nabi ...?" she could hear the despair in his voice, the same thing she had felt in recent weeks. "Go away, Jungkook." she said softly, pulling back the blanket even more. "No, let me explain, please!" he put his hand on her shoulder. "Don't touch me!" she pulled away abruptly, but did not look at him. "Damn it, Nabi, I did what I had to do!" Jungkook growled, her cold piercing him so deeply he felt the blades feel like physical pain. She didn't answer, didn't turn around, and he just walked out, leaving thousands of questions and answers unanswered.
