CHAPTER 36
Jungkook
I scrunched my nose in pain as soon as I gain consciousness. I immediately opened my eyes and saw mom inside a hospital room.
"Mom?"
She gasped, "Jungkook! Oh my goodness! You're awake!"
She immediately pulled me in a hug, "Oh my sweet baby boy! I thought I lost you!"
I groaned, "How long was I sleep?"
"Just three days, sweetheart. But I was dead worried!" She held my hand.
"Lisa... What about Lisa? Where is she?" I forced myself to sit up despite the pain I'm feeling everywhere.
"I'll go take you to her."
Someone suddenly barged in.
My mom immediately fell quiet and I sat confused.
"Kim Mingyu." I muttered hiss name.
He pulled a wheelchair in, "Hop on, I'll take you to her."
We went out of my room and Mingyu pushed me towards the upper floor of the hospital building and we arrived at the farthest end confinement room with guards standing outside.
They opened the door for me. Only to find Lisa lying unconscious with a Heart hate monitor beside her, beeping every second.
"You're awake." Bambam welcomed us in.
"What did the doctor say?" I immediately asked as soon as I reached her and intertwined our hands together.
"She's still in a temporary coma and the doctor's are still finding out possible side effects when she wakes up." Bambam answered.
"And her injuries?"
"They're almost fully healed. She's totally recovering very smoothly." He assured.
I shut my eyes close and brought her hands to my lips.
"I'm glad."
Bambam sat at the end of the hospital bed, "Eunha's been visiting both of you everyday. Bringing you guys flowers and fruits incase you wake up."
I nodded, "Remind me to thank her later."
The three of us watched Lisa lying on the hospital bed with the perfect face she always had. It almost made me forget that we were with Kim Mingyu.
I glanced at Mingyu and he glanced back, "You didn't come here fo nothing, do you?"
He nodded, "Can we talk?"
And so he took me to the rooftop which was actually a rooftop garden in the hospital. He pushed my wheelchair for a walk.
"Hyung." He called.
Whoa, that started off stronger than I expected.
"I'm sorry about what I did to you back then. And I'm also sorry for using Lisa against you. It was a dick move." He apologized.
I sighed, "It was also half my fault anyway. I was such a jerk of a brother and a friend at the same time."
"Yeah but compared to what I did. It was entirely unacceptable. Please don't hesitate to have me run any errands for you in the future. I want to compensate for everything." Mingyu insisted.
"You already did enough by not hesitating the police to tell the truth about your friends." I smiled at him.
"I may be a bad guy but not to the point where I can allow such crime. And I actually had a crush on the Princess so..." He shrugged his shoulders, causing me to glare at him.
He rolled his eyes at me, "She's all yours, hyung. Everybody knows that. And I won't stand a chance for her anyway."
"It's been a while since you called me 'hyung'." I heaved a sigh of relief.
"You must be enjoying it." He teased.
"Aside from that, how's mom?" I asked, referring to our biological mom who married his Dad instead of mine.
"She's doing okay. She's in Barcelona right now." Mingyu answered.
I nodded, "Tell her to come home and let's have a dinner. Just the three of us."
"R-Really?" Mingyu's eyes widened.
I raised an eyebrow, "Do I look like I'm kidding?"
He shook his head, "No, which makes me worried even more. I mean, you just recovered from an accident. Acting so kind must be a side effect."
"Are you saying I'm not kind in daily basis? Do you want me to push you off this building?" I threatened.
He chuckled, "That's it, hyung. That's how you should be talking."
I shook my head in amusement, "You brat."
While me and Mingyu were busy catching the brotherhood between us from all the years we missed, one of Lisa's guards suddenly came jogging towards us.
"Mr. Jeon, the Princess is awake."
I left my wheelchair in the rooftop and forced myself up to walk towards Lisa's room despite my limping state. I immediately opened the door when I reached.
There, I saw her innocently seating up as the Doctors were checking up on her.
"Jungkook." Eunha muttered my name upon entering. She must've been here when Lisa woke up.
"Lisa." I immediately went towards her.
"Jungkook?" Her eyes furrowed.
I immediately smiled but before I could even reach her, the male nurses held my arms and stopped me.
"What the... Let go of me this instant!" I tried to yank my hands back.
"Calm down, Mr. Jeon. Lisa just woke up. The side effects are... slightly fatal." The Doctor said, my eyes widen.
"W-What do you mean? What side effects?" I asked.
The Doctor sighed, "She can only remember the memories she had, two weeks before the accident."
I furrowed my brows, "Two week before the accident? That was before we found Kai! Does that mean she doesn't remember him?"
"I'm afraid not." The Doctor lowered his head.
If she can't remember the things that happened after those two weeks and after the incident, then that means the last thing she remember is catching me and Eunha kissing at the parking lot before.
Shit.
"C-Can I talk to her alone please?" I requested.
"Jungkook, her last memory of you was not so good. We can't leave you both alone." Bambam said.
I shut my eyes close, "Just please, give us a five minutes. I want to talk to her alone."
All of them looked away and finally decided to leave us alone. They walked out one by one as I stared at Lisa sitting on the hospital bed fidgeting her fingers.
The door banged finally banged close.
"So, are you here to laugh at me? Because look, I have bandages on my head and I was in a coma for days. Karma does hit hard." She chuckled.
I shut my eyes to contain myself, "Listen, I'm sorry for the things I said and did to you before."
"Sorry? What's with the sudden attitude change? Is this your side effect?" She teased.
"Lisa, If you can only remember the things that happened two weeks ago, that's totally fine with me. I'm willing to tell you everyday about what happened after those days." I insisted.
She furrowed her brows, "What are you talking about? You must've hit your head really hard. Go see the Doctor or go see your beloved Eunha. Hopefully, you'll recover-"
"Damn it, Lisa! I like you!"
There, I finally said it. But in her worst state. I had o choice anyway.
She looked at me with a blank expression. She slowly looked away and suddenly bursted out laughing.
"I-I'm sorry-" She held her tummy as she laugh loudly.
I clenched my fist, "I'm serious."
Lisa finally stopped laughing, "Oh yeah? When did you confess to me? Did we like each other in between those remaining weeks that I couldn't remember?"
"No."
"Oh! So we didn't really made up. You also didn't confess." Lisa scoffed.
"I-I just..."
"Enough Jungkook. If you're saying this out of pity, I'd rather marry Kim Mingyu."
I gritted my teeth. I tried to hold back but I guess there's no stopping now.
I took a deep breath before starting.
"The reason why I didn't confess was because I don't know... I don't fucking know how to explain it." I shut my eyes close.
And continued, "I don't know how, when, or why I fell in love with you! The first time we met was unpleasant. The second time was even worse. And the moment you went against me and Eunha, I almost wanted to withdraw the engagement and risk everything for good."
"But I fucking hate the feeling when you get close to Mingyu or anyone! And then you pull off that sociopathic mask and go all damsel like a person I've always wanted you to be. How can I ignore that about you?!"
"When I fully knew Eunha isn't gonna return back my feelings and you were there beside me! Who else am I going to reach out?! It was only you that stayed when everyone else left! How can I just ignore that?! I also got confused, Lisa! I nearly went crazy when you said you're going back home for good. I told myself, I deserved that for putting you in such an embarrassing position."
"But I can't. You're the only woman that ever made me feel like this. This feeling is so Alien to me! And for once, even just once... I want to fight for what we have. I couldn't do it before and lived my whole life regretting." I tried my best to hold back the tears.
"I hope you'll help me get through all of this, Lisa. If I'm going to end up losing you too, I might just die in regret. Please give me a chance. One more chance! If it doesn't work, I won't bother you anymore!" I walked towards her and held both her hands.
That's when I realized, her eyes were also filled with tears.
I hugged her tight, "Why are you crying?! Don't cry! I don't want to see you crying because of me!"
She hugged me back while sobbing, "I just didn't expect that the plan will work out this good!"
My brows furrowed, "Plan?"
"I don't have an amnesia and I already woke up yesterday before you!" She admitted while still in tears and bawling.
"I can't do it anymore! I don't want to lie to you anymore! I just want to love you right now!" Her sobs were just too cute that it made me forget and forgive about her plan immediately.
The hospital door swung open, interrupting our moment. Bambam, Eunha, even my step mom and Mingyu entered.
Bambam sighed in disappointment, "You disappoint me, Lisa. I was expecting him to kneel and beg."
Lisa cried out, "I caaaaaan't! I just love him so much!" And she starting sobbing again.
I cupped her cute face, "It's okay now. You can stop crying. I won't get mad at you, I promise."
She bit her lips to stop her sobs and nodded at me.
"Good girl." I smiled and pulled him in for a hug.
That's when I noticed the small pocket sized picture on the bedside table below the lampshade. My eyes widened at the familiarity of the kid in the picture.
I pulled away from the hug, "Is that yours?"
Lisa looked behind her to see what I was talking about, "Yeah. It's mine."
The kid I met 15 years ago, was her! Priya!
I couldn't hold it in anymore and pulled her in my arms for a kiss.
The kiss was delicate and I made sure I poured all of my feelings and my love for her along with the kiss. I made sure she felt loved and secured as I tighten my hold on her waist.
Totally ignoring my mom and our friends watching us.
We pulled away from the kiss after satisfying and assuring each other of our feelings.
Eunha suddenly butted in, "Ehem, sorry to interrupt this magnificent scene. But you got a loan to pay."
She handed Lisa a piece of paper that seemed to be like a cheque.
Lisa couldn't help but smile when she saw what was on the paper. Maybe Eunha wrote a huge amount of money.
Lisa handed me the paper, "I need you to pay this debt off."
I took the paper and read the cheque out loud, "Pay to the order of Lisa Manoban. An amount of One Million Years with Jeon Jungkook..."
Eunha spoke, "If you can't pay that off, I'm adding interests."
I smiled at her, "One Million Years is not enough. You could've wrote a bigger amount."
I want to live and die with this wonderful woman no matter which era, world, or even any creature we become.
I won't allow anyone interfere. Not even Satan... ya.
