Taehyung P.O.V

" Well. Help yourself from now on. It's good to spend a great time with you Taehyung. I hope I'll see you again once you're fully recovered that also by yourself. Please close the door when you leave the room ".

I close] the door behind me, standing there for sometime hoping that she'll call me back. But nothing. There's only silence with me.

I don't know why I can't take it normally. It's not new to me. Everybody leaves me at some point. Why will the Areum be different right??

I sigh a little and start walking. I really can't focus on my track. Something is bothering me. Something is telling me to turn back. To try until she is convinced. But I can't turn back, nor move forward. It's like I get stuck in a quicksand which I can't get over.

" What the fuck you think you were doing?" I hear a voice. I look up.

Jungkook spitting anger at me with his weird yet funny face, "What? Answer me? Why did you left all of a sudden ha? and why you're in front of Areum's room?"

" Jungkook."

He looks at me confusedly.

" I-I'm sorry for not treating you well. You always tried to help me, to get along with me but I was the one who always misjudged you. I misjudged Areum too. Don't worry I'm leaving. Areum told me to leave. She tried her best to help me but I disappointed her." I smile

" What are you talking about fella? What happened to you?"

I sigh." Nothing Jungkook. Take care of your precious things. And sorry again." With that I leave the house.

I don't know where I'm going. I don't know what I'll do but one thing is sure. I'll never show my face to Areum. It's proven nobody, nothing can cure me, or help me. Areum is right. I need to help myself and I'm the one who will help me. I don't need anyone, nor anyone needs me. Either way life goes on.

--------------------------------------------

Areum's P.O.V

The door crack open, snitching me away from the thoughts of what I just have done.

I totally forgot that Taehyung was with Jungkook. I straighten my posture and look at him. I know why he's here. It's not been that much time Taehyung left, so they've met on the way.

" Hey Kookie."

" You seriously let him go?" He asks.

" Seems like I did," I look down. I can't believe what I did, what I'll tell Jungkook.

" Give me a fucking logical reason why you did that or I'm bringing him back"

" You'll bring him back, but not now."

" What do you mean??" He scrunches his face in confusion

I look up at him, " You really thought I'm letting him go?" I behave like it's nothing to me which is a total lie

" Areum. What's going on in your mind?"

" He'll come back to me. He has to." I say

" But you told him not to show you his face! How could he'll come back to you? and what the fuck happened all of a sudden?"

" Do me a favor. Keep an eye on him please. He'll come back, don't worry."

" But why are you doing this to him? Why are you giving him pain? What did he do?" He asks

" He stole my heart, Kookie. He has to pay for it" I say on my mind

" I want to see how far he can go without coming back to me. I'm using a trick on him."

" Which is?" Jungkook raises an eyebrow

" I want to see how he used to react when nobody was there for him. What he used to do. What makes him do whatever he does. Don't worry I'm not leaving him. I love to take challenges and he gave me one without even realizing it, and you know what I do if someone challenges me."

" But why were you crying?" Jungkook suddenly asks.

I realized I was crying before he came and my eyes become puffy and red. Shit

" Nothing. I- just. you know."

" Regretting letting him go?"

I look at him. The strong image I'm holding suddenly fades away. " I don't know Kookie. His words feel like he's stabbing me. It hurts Kookie." Tears start flowing from my eyes which I can't control.

He sighs, and comes close to me. Holding my chin he looks at me, " What did he do to my Areum? hm? Why are you crying for him?"

Then I tell all to him, even what he told me about my hyungs. I don't hide things from Jungkook, the same goes for him.

" Hmmm. Now I understand why he left and started running all of a sudden." He says

" Huh?"

He laughs a little." I just shared something about you to him. Your Romeo thought I'm your boyfriend and I got jealous because he bit your neck so I punched-" He stops suddenly. I hope he doesn't mean what I'm thinking he meant!!

" You what?"

" N-Nothing. I was saying how he-"

" Jungkook."

He looks at me then looks away. " Umm. well I- you know. I- umm" He gulps, and closes his eyes and clears his throat." I- I punched Taehyung for hurting you."

" WHAT THE FUCKKKKKK??????? This is why his face is covered with Band-Aids and bruises?? You did that to him, Jungkook??"

He nods slowly starting to show his teeth.

" Jeon Fucking Jungkook why did you do that?? And stop laughing, you bitch. Do you think it's a good thing to punch someone like that??" I hit him with my hand, but he's not stop laughing. This bitch!!!

" You saw his face today?? Hahahahahaha you don't know how much I controlled myself from laughing. He was looking like a giant watermelon with marks."

" JUNGKOOK STOP IT AAARRRGGGHHH!!!! Why did you do this to him? How could you do this? He's your patient for lord sake" He's really pissing me off.

" Are you asking me this? Don't you know who I'm. I literally killed that boy who teased you for freaking a year, and I just witnessed everything because you told me to do nothing about him. Until the day he was about to transfer." He chuckles darkly and looks at me.
" I strangled him with my bare hand, Areum. I cut his fingers which they used to touch you. I pulled out his eyeball which he used to see you in a nasty way, and guess what he blackmailed you with your nudes he took secretly from the common washroom right?? He told you to have to sex with him right? You didn't tell me but I've my own eyes and ears babe."
He smirks looking away," I cut his penis in pieces while he was still breathing. It was a hella fucking good show to watch you know."

I knew about it. Jungkook is a good person. He'd love everybody and will help no matter what. But once someone touches his nerve. He's done. Literally done. It's like a hidden personality of his which is rare to be seen. I wonder what triggered him to beat Taehyung like that.

He leans back, stretching a little, supporting his upper body with his hand" Your Romeo is lucky Areum. That he saved you twice, other then that." He chuckles again

"Stop calling him my Romeo. Where did you even get that? He's my patient, okay!" I say annoyingly.

" For whom you cried! For whom you literally argued with your hyungs. Who you use for you sexual desire. Yeah sure he's your patient." He scoffs

" For fuck sake I didn't use him for my sexual desire. It's not like that okay and I'm serious about it."

" If that makes you sleep well at night." He replies

I just roll my eyes.

----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile

A/N P.O.V

" So what do you think about her?"

" What you said to me I think she witnessed something brutal, or something which left her traumatized. Which is why she's not saying anything. Where did you find her? In the jungle right??"

"Yeah. One of the workers brought her here."

" Hmm. Did you try any method, or tricks to make her talk?"

" I did. She just said she escaped from somewhere."

" What was her condition at the time you found her?"

" Devastated. She was not talking nor responding. We didn't even need to inject sleep medicine in her till now. She's cooperating with us but not the way we want"

" I think she's still in trauma?"

" Might be, but she's acting normal all the time, but when we ask something she's not responding."

" And also she didn't even try to harm herself, or anyone else. I think she needs someone who witnesses the same thing she did. Maybe sharing their story will help her to open up with her one day.

" I'm looking forward to it, you know. I think we should do a group discussion with some patients. I don't know what will make her talk!!!"

Namjoon and Hoseok are talking about a patient for what Hoseok called him. Yoongi sitting there thinking about something, closing his eyes.

" Yoongi?" Namjoon calls him

" Hmm" He replies without opening his eyes.

" You ok?"

" What made you think I'm not?" He replies boldly

Namjoon sighes. " I know you since you last peed on your pants, okay? Don't behave like a sassy bitch!"

"Hyung, it's okay. I know why he's like this and you know that too." Hoseok says

Namjoon looks at Yoongi who is looking so calm but they all know he's hella scared for his sister.

" Yoongi." Namjoon calls him again

" Tell me one thing, Hoseok. "

" Yes Hyung?"

Yoongi opens his eyes looking at him when his elbows rest on top of his knees" Is there any slightest chance for her to recover?"

" Hyung I-"

" Yes or no? "

" There's a term might be hyung, and I'll stick to that." He replies boldly

" Okay! " With that he stands up and starts to leave but Namjoon stops him

" Please. She'll recover. Don't listen to Hoseok. I know she'll recover Hyung. Don't forget she's not a random girl. She's Lee Eun Areum. Who literally survived a fucking hell. This is nothing in front of that."

" And about recovering we're trying our best Hyung. You see how she used to behave with us but how is she behaving with us today?? She's trying to control herself. She's trying to recover. We just need to help her." Hoseok says.

" How many days?"

" Huh" Namjoon asks

" I said how many days do I need to wait to get my Areum back? "

" We're using Taehyung for that. He's acting like a distraction to her. If it works. I won't say she'll recover in no time but she'll cross the 2nd step of the treatment. It's better than using a person to calm down herself then hurt her to death right? " Hoseok replies

" But the thing is that. Taehyung already left the house. How will he be helpful now hyung?" Jungkook suddenly comes and asks

" What?" Namjoon knits his brows

" Yes, hyung. Areum told him to leave and he left"

" The fuck happened to Areum. Why did she do that? Shit!!" Hoseok says

" She said she has a plan."

" A plan? " Yoongi says

" Yes. She said he'll come back. I don't know what's going on in her mind. Bipolarity might eat her brain too." Jungkook leaves a big sigh

" Maybe I know what she's trying to do." Hoseok smiles a little

" What is this?" Namjoon asks.

"Let her do whatever she wants. Don't forget she's a doctor too. She knows Taehyung more than us. If she really was pissed off by him, as she said to us. She'd tell any of us to take the case, she'd never let him go. But she did. It means she has a plan"

" Yeah, Areum told me something like this." Jungkook says.

" I'm leaving. Uncle told me he'll come back today and told me to receive him." Yoongi says all of a sudden.

" Hyung" Hoseok calls him and Yoongi stops in his track

"We are doing our best and you know it too that she'll recover. She has to" Hoseok says

Yoongi sighs " Do whatever you want. Bring me my Areum back."

" We will give our life for it if we have to, Yoongi." Namjoon replies.

Yoongi tries to behave normal as much as he can because arguing with them will make things worse. He trusts them and he's waiting for the right to snap back. Till then let them do whatever the fuck they want to do.

--------------------------------------

Days Later

Areum's P.O.V

It's been four days since Taehyung left me. Well I told him to. I don't know when he'll come back but I know he'll. It's not like I'm having a bad time with my family. I'm living the best time of my life. Which stays like a shadow on a beautiful sunny day, and it will fade away the moment the sun will contact a cloud. That cloud. That cloud is not going away from my life. Nor will it be.

My hyungs, Mommy, Papa all are here to keep my mind away from something that will lead me to again hurt myself. Papa came here the day before yesterday. He didn't even ask me about anything that was happening with me.
Maybe he thought it'd be better to behave like everything is ok, so I can rely on someone who actually isn't showing me sympathy. And it actually worked. I wonder why Hobi, or Namjoon oppa didn't ask me anything about Taehyung. Maybe Jungkook told them everything.

Whenever these three sit together, they start to talk about a case where Hobi is working. As far as I heard, the patient is not like others. She's talking but not the thing Hobi needs to know. She's recovering but Hobi is conscious about her mental health. I hope she doesn't make the same mistake I did.

I stand in front of my window. Thinking about what to do next. What if Taehyung never comes back? What if he takes my words seriously. I told Jungkook to keep an eye on him but he said he left the town two days ago. I didn't react in front of him, but I'm feeling a little bit scared for Taehyung.
Where is he now? I don't want to think about anything but some bad ideas are roaming in my head, no matter how much I try to ignore that I can't. I'm literally thinking I might have made a wrong decision by letting him go. No, I forced him to leave. I just hope wherever he is. He's safe and doing fine. He's fine wherever he is right now. Right??

Two days later

It's literally killing me right now. It's been nearly a week since he left. I still didn't get any news about him. I'm really feeling I didn't do the right thing to let him go. Last time Y/N helped me a lot in this. She gave me information which will be useful, and about Taehyung too. How he is or what he is doing. But this time I don't have anyone who can give me any kind of idea or hint where he could be.

I can't even sleep or eat properly. It's like I'm imagining things like something bad might happen to him. No. I need to be strong. Nothing will happen to him. I won't let that happen. Enough is enough. I'm leaving this house tomorrow and only will be back with Taehyung. I won't come back until I find him.

" Baby". Suddenly my room door opens and Mommy calls me.

" Yes Mommy? Do you need help?"

" No honey, it's okay. Umm are you expecting someone??" She asks

" Umm no. Why? Anyone is looking for me? "

" Yeah A guy came and told me that he has something to give you. Do you know him?"

" Oh! Yeah he's the wardboy maybe. I called him to bring me my laptop, and some other reading stuff. As I'm wasting my time, I thought let's utilize the time properly." I smile.

" Okay he is waiting outside. Don't make him wait too long, okay?" She says, and I nod

I get up walking to meet him. I open the main door and he flashes a smile.

" Hey Mike. It's been a long time. How've you been?" I ask

" I'm fine Miss. Here are the things you told me to bring." He hands me my laptop bag and a bag full of files, and books

" Ah, thanks a lot. Sorry to bother you but I needed it."

" Ahh Miss, don't say that. I usually come here during the weekend to meet my family so it's nothing Miss." He says

" Anyway, come inside. Do you want coffee or tea?" I gesture to come inside the house

" I'll come another day for sure but I've to go today. It's my anniversary so I need to be in my house as early as I can. I hope you understand."

" OMO. Congratulations Mike. OMG I'm so happy for you." I give him a genuine smile. They literally fought with both of their families, but nobody accepted them and now they're even married for two years.

" I should go Miss. It's really nice to meet you"

" I can't stop you right? But please visit our house with your wife, okay?"

" Sure I'll. Have a great time Miss." He waves

I'm about to close the door but I see something shiny fall on the ground. I look at it. It's a key ring with some keys. I think it's Mike's.

" Hey Mike" I shout and he looks back. He's about to leave our premises

I put down the bags and run towards him." I think this is yours." I show him the keys

" Ah thanks Miss it's mine. Maybe it fell down when I pulled out the phone from my pocket. Thanks a lot Miss" He says and I smile back

He starts his bike and bows to me a little, and drives off. I sigh and turn back to go back to the house.

What is this feeling?

Suddenly I stop. My heart suddenly starts to beat fast. I mean really fast that I put a hand on my heart to calm down. What is this? I shiver a little. The cold wind gives me goosebumps.

I take some heavy breaths to calm me down but no. It's increasing time by time instead. I close my eyes. No. My vision is not turning black, nor is my head beating. I'm not having another attack then what is it?

I turn back to see my surroundings clearly. Maybe it's a sign something bad is gonna happen. But what is it? I look everywhere but I see nothing. There is silence around me. I pant heavily, and close my eyes to calm myself down..

Then I feel it. Something in my head or in my mind telling me to follow it. Someone, or something is screaming inside me. I try to think all the possible danger I may face but nothing calming me the fuck down!!

I start to think about people. I start to think about my hyungs, my own family. My past. The past that still haunts me, and not even that is calming me down. My pupil moves left and right, trying to find the root of this. Why the fuck I'm feeling like this?

Suddenly my heart beat becomes a little bit stimulated and I open my eyes and said one name.

" Taehyung. He's in danger."

I close my eyes again, and my heart starts beating again. Something inside me telling me to follow something only I'm aware of. It's really frustrating me. How can I remember something this detailed when my mind is not fucking working.

I knit my brows and hold my head to think what I should do. Where should I go? Cold sweat starts to form on my forehead due to frustration.

But I calm down a little. I open my eyes and start running towards the field. " Lord. please make it correct please". I say while running. My legs are still hurting. I'm really putting pressure on it, but this is not the thing I should care about now. I need to find Tae.

I've to find Tae.

I reach in the middle of the field and stop a little. I fell down on the grass and start panting heavily. Where are you Taehyung?? You okay right? Where are you? I ask myself. Again my heart starts to beat faster that I thought for once my heart would explode. I hold my heart and close my eyes. Again that voice.

Close.

Close.

Close.

I open my eyes and stand up.

" Taehyung. Be safe. please " I start running towards the jungle. I start running the only way I know. The only way that was made by me. The only way where maybe I can find Taehyung.

I run for hours. My legs start bleeding again, but I don't care about it. I start to scream his name. Hope I'll get a reply.

" Taehyunggggg" " Taehyunnnnggggggg" " TAEEEEEHHHYYYYUUUUUUNNNNGGGGGG". "TTTTAAAAAAAEEEEEE" I scream through my lungs to hear a voice. Just a voice. But nothing. I hear FUCKING NOTHING.

My heart is beating like fuck. I really want to rip my own heart out if it doesn't stop. I close my eyes and take some deep breaths and release it.

But something. or some kind of noises distracted me. It's like someone is whimpering, sniffing, maybe crying??, and the odd sound feels like someone scratching.

I open my eyes and start following it.

When I find the source of sound. It makes me stone on my ground. My mouth hung open, I can't even blink anymore. Suddenly I feel my heart start beating normally. I'm not panting anymore but what I'm seeing in front of me makes my heart beat faster again.

It's the exact same place where I came and stabbed myself. It's the same place where I was about to die. It's the place where I found a tool which was not that sharp but enough to cut me.. It's the same place where I see,

Taehyung, ripping off something with the same tool I used for myself

My heavy breath echoes through the woods. " Ta-Taehyung." I whisper.

I blink a little. What is he doing in the middle of the jungle? " Taehyung." I scream his name and rum towards him

" Ta- Tae what are you doing Tae? Look at me Tae. Taehyung looked at me." He doesn't look at me at all and continues to stab a piece of cloth with that tool. look at the cloth. I gasp.

It's my scarf I left at Taehyung's room. He's ripping it off? Why?

" Tae."

He says something which I can't get at first but I listen to him carefully.

" S-She left me." Stab. " She won't come back" Stab " She left me" He's stabbing and saying only these words.

" Taehyung, who are you talking about??" I ask him.

" She left me." Stab " She left me" He sniffs

For lord's sake , who left him? If he's talking about me I'm in front of him. Alive. I hold his face harshly with both of my hands. I look at him and my eyes soften. His face is swallowed, his eyes are puffy, his runny nose. His face covered with dirt . He suffered a lot.

He looks at me." Areum will leave me too" With that he again starts crying!!!

What? I'm in front of him then who he's talking to? " Taehyung. It's me. Taehyung, look at me, it's me Taehyung. I'm not gonna leave you. What are you talking about Tae?"

" She left me. Areum will leave me too" He shoves my hands from his chin and again starts stabbing that scurf and saying those words.

I start to rub his back to come back to his senses. He loses his senses. He's not thinking about anything. His mind goes blank and his body acts like this. " Tae calm down, it's okay I'm here Tae. Calm down." Nothing. He still is not responding to me.

I think the best I can do. I take his one hand and start to rub his nerves. I use my other hands to rub another vein near his neck. This is the fastest trick to come back to someone's senses. Lord please make him look at me please!!

I rub his veins that makes it become redder but this fucking bitch still stabbing that fucking scurf which has left no piece that will tell someone that it's a cloth.

He's still murmuring those words. " She left me" Stab " She left me"

I move back a little and sit on the ground. I rub my face, pulling my hair out of frustration. What should I do?? I applied all the fucking methods I learnt. All the methods I used for myself but nothing helping.

What the fuck should I do now??

What have I done to him? Why did I let him go in the first place? Fuck you, Areum!!!

I close my eyes and start thinking. After a while I open my eyes and look at him. " Sorry Tae. But I've no other option." I murmur

I move forward and look at him for a while. He's still doing it nonstop. He's literally hitting the damp mud right now. I take some deep breaths. " Tae look at me." No response. " Tae. Look at me." Again no response.

I sigh a little and come in front of him. I hold his chin again but softly. He looks at me with his puffy eyes. " She left me." He says it again, but I don't react. I've nothing else in my hand right now. So I do the only thing that is left for me

" I kiss him."
