"" Areum.."

" Areum.. Baby wake up.."

" Areum?? You did enjoy last night huh.. You're looking so tired now. But guess what I'm needy again.. Wake up baby.. Wake up.."

" So you won't wake up huh?" The person smirked..

Suddenly I felt a huge pain on my left leg, like someone stabbed on my leg..

" Even your blood makes me excited baby.. Wake up.."

" Wake up.." Stab

" Wake up, Areum.." Stab

" Wake-"

" NOOO!!!!!" I shot open my eyes and jerk up, but feel like I'm still sleeping. My vision is consumed with darkness. I can't see anything.. All I can see is black.. 

" KUZI!! What happened? Kuzi, wake up.. Kuzi look at me, wha-what happened to you Kuzi!!"

I can hear Yoongi Oppa screaming my name but still I can't see anything..

" Stab me.." I say lowly..

" What?? Kuzi Wh-"

" FUCKING STAB ME I CAN'T SEE ANY FUCKING THINGS!!!" I scream..

Suddenly I feel a stinging sensation on my left arm.. " Calm down baby.. Close your eyes, and open them slowly.." Hobi whispers near my ear

I do as he says.. I close my eyes and slowly open them.. The first thing I see is a worried face..

Namjoon Oppa is comfronting him.. I really don't get what happened to him.. " Oppa.. What happened?? Why are you looking at me like this.. And Hobi why did you-" Suddenly something comes in my mind..

Run..

Lock..

Pendrive..

Video.. I try to think so hard and then...

" Jonathan.." I whisper and look at my hyungs..

So what I've seen was a dream.. I sigh.. " Where's Taehyung???"

" He came to see you, we told him you were under too much pressure so you're resting.. he's in his room.. Why?" Namjoon Oppa says..

I think for a while.. " I need to talk to him right now.." I try to get up when a hand holds my wrist and I look at him..

" You will rest.."

" But Oppa it-"

" Kuzi..." He looks at me, his eyes are enough for me to shut down. I try to look at him, but his intense, dangerous, scary brotherly like stare forces me to lower my head... " You. Will. Rest.. End of discussion.."

He makes me lay on the bed, and covers me with a blanket.. " I'll come time by time, and I want you in this bed sleeping like you should.. And if I see you're not here.. I swear I won't give a fuck about your job, or your fucking case.. I'll burn down everything, and will make that boy caged in the asylum again.. Got that?? " Yoongi Oppa doesn't use bad words with me, but when he does.. It means one thing.. Either listen to him, or call your death.. I just nod like a lil kid and he just smiles.. Gosh sometimes Yoongi Oppa can be scary too...

The rest Oppa forcefully gave me was actually needed.. I don't sleep, but I lay down and try to process everything.. How come two people become one? Did I mistakenly see him, or did Y/N send me a wrong picture... Gosh how can I sleep when my mind is running a marathon!!

I hear my room door open slowly, and I instantly bury myself under the blanket.. I hear someone's footsteps and it stops right in front of me..

" Will you wake up by yourself, or should I start to tickle.." I don't dare to move..

" So you chose the 2nd one.. Okay.." I feel someone hands over my body, slowly it starts to roam some specific place and I understand..

" Wake up or I'll increase my speed.."

" Oppaa.. No aaaaa No-No Oppa okay o-ok aaa Oppa stop it" I laugh so hard as he starts to tickle me over the blanket.

He removes the blanket from me.. " Pick-a-boo" And I pout

" Oppa you're so devil.." I sit on the bed..

" Say something I don't know.." He smirks and sits beside me..

I sigh.. " Where's that bitch? "

" Who?"

" Your pretty, loyal, humble, savage, pain in the ass best friend.. Who literally tied me in this bed, but the ropes are invisible.."

" Yoongi? "

" Who else? " I roll my eyes..

" He has his reasons, ok? And he's your hyung.. You should respect him.. he will never tell you something that will not be good for you.."

" I know Oppa.. But I really need to work with my case.. I can't rest when my mind is a mess.."

" But to us you're more important than your cases.. "He takes the tray he placed on the side table before..

" I'm not telling you to obey us all the time, but look at you Areum.. You're giving too much in this case.. I understand there's also some reasons which I don't want to mention, but you need to look for yourself.. And if you don't do that by yourself then we'll have to force you.. Like this.." He says and shoves a spoonful of rice in my mouth..

" mhfn Oppha..." I start whining..

He laughs a little.. " You're still a kid.." He wipes off some food from my lips.. Then hold my chin..." You okay??"

I gulp the food.. " I don't even need to lie right?? " He just smiles..

" Oppa I really need to finish this case.. I can't delay anymore.."

" We talked about it yesterday.. Everything is coming in line.. Your work is done I assume.."

" One thing is still undone, Oppa.. and I need to finish it as early as possible.."

" Which is?? " He looks at me..

" The ring.."

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

I called Yoongi Oppa and literally begged him to let me go.. He needs to understand it's not my time to rest.. He did let me go but I've to go with Namjoon hyung wherever I go.. I had no other option so I accepted..

Now as I'm heading to the hospital again.. I really need to talk with Maya.. I know Taehyung remembered everything, but still something is missing from his memory and I need to find them..

Once I reached the hospital.. I don't even wait for Oppa, I run inside the hospital, and straight go to Maya's room...

I enter her room silently.. She's showing me my back.. I take a deep breath..

" Maya " She moves a little and looks at me.. Her eyes widens and she sits up instantly..

" Areum.. You came.. You came with TaeTae?? Where is he?? He's waiting outside right.. Let me-"

" Maya... It's only me.. " Her face, which was brightened with a wide smile, becomes a dark one..

" You told me that whe-"

" I know what I've said Maya.. But I had to come without him.. Without solving the whole issue, I can't let you meet him.." I sit beside her

" Then what the hell have you done in the past few days.. You wanted to know our past right? To find how to make him normal again.. then why are you talking about solving this issue? Now don't tell me you didn't inform him of anything.. because I know you didn't, right?"

" Maya I thin-"

" I know girls like you Areum .. You wanted to know the whole thing from me, so that you could make another story which contains only lies, and lies only.. So that he never knows nor about me or about his past.. Stop pretending Areum.." She snaps and I smirk..

" And what'll be my benefit from all of it, may I know? "

She chuckles.. " Taehyung is a gem, you know? If you polish him, he will shine so much that some people can become blind for life.." She looks at me with so much disgust.. " I myself polish him into a gem.. Now he can shine again. yes some dirt can be seen on him right now, but you want to remove them and take the whole credit huh?"

I snort.. " So you're telling me indirectly that I'm trying to keep Taehyung to me? "

" What else do you want from us then huh? We didn't even want you in the 1st place.. I would find him eventually and bring him to his normal state.."

" So I'm the third wheel here? " I ask..

" Think whatever the fuck you want.. I don't give a fuck about it.."

I stand up and come close to her face, tilting my head " Do you know who I'm Maya?"

" You're a pain in the ass.." I was smirking the whole time, but her face slashes with a hint of scare the moment I come close to her face

" This pain in the ass is the third wheel between you.. Ever got hurt by some wheel thing Maya? I hope never right.." She gets confused, and I pierce her with my stare..

" This third wheel can make you rot in this room for a lifetime.. This third wheel can take Taehyung far away from you and you can't do anything.. Do you know why? " She grits her teeth

" Because I can even do bad things while behaving like I'm innocent as hell. Just imagine I leave this room and tell my hyung that you forgot everything, and now Taehyung can't get his memories back either.. So I need to cage him in the asylum again.. I would give him some medicines that will completely wipe off your existence and then I'll be the one he'll listen to for life.. you meant this right??" She's fuming, and tries to hold me but I hold her hand..

" Not so soon sweetheart.. This is the minor thing I can do.. But what I actually can do is..." I smirk.. " Make Taehyung hate you for a lifetime.. Why do I need to vanish you from his life when I can just simply use a sentence like..." I take some time

" You and Jack were always together whatever shit he faced.."

" AREUM I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!! She screams and tries to hold my throat but she is weak so am I, but at least stronger than her.

" Maya... Don't test my ability.. I may look like a bad person to you but don't force me to be a bitch.. believe me.. I won't even regret for once for whatever I can do.. Do. Not. Trigger. Me" I say and she lowers her head, and loses her grip..

I sigh and stand straight.. " I told him everything.. He remembered you.."

She looks at me with wide eyes and I just look at her blankly.. " Y-You Se-rious?"

" Why would I joke with you.. I came here for a reason.. I don't have time to bark with you.."

Her face becomes normal.." What is it now then.."

I take a deep breath.. " Some things still can't come in line.. Which is why I'm here again.."

She looks at me.. " Didn't Taehyung tell you everything.."

" Well he poured his heart out when I told about you, but his memory still needs to be polished.. Don't worry about him.. Once I told you I'll bring him to you then no matter if I'm being a pain in the ass, third wheel or a bitch.. I'll keep my word.." I state..

She sighs.. " Areum I-"

" Do you mind if I show you some picture of someone that might have triggered you?" I stop her..

" Huh?"

" I know this might make you feel all of the things you've felt before, but I really want to request you, please help me Maya.. This thing is killing me.."

She closes her eyes, and opens.. " Show me.."

I take my phone, open the gallery.. " Who is this? Do you know him? " I show him a normal pic of Jack

She starts blinking, looking here and there, and starts gulping.. I put a hand on her shoulder.. " It's just a picture.. he won't even lay a single finger on you.." I smile..

She doesn't reply, just nods a little.. I again show her a picture that Y/N sent me.. " This?"

She again nods.. I take a deep breath. My finger doesn't want to move, but I swipe left and show her the picture I took from the video.. " Is this the same person? "

She sighs, and nods. I gulp hard, but don't let her see that..

So I wasn't in delusion..

" Thanks a lot Maya.. Thanks for clearing this confusion.."

" Is there anything else, I may come helpful?"

" Just one more thing.." I take my bag and bring it out.

" Maya can I have your left hand please??" She shows her hand.. Perfectly shaped five long fingers, which make her hand even more attractive... I breathe heavily, and show it to her.. " Can you put this on your ring finger?" I give her the ring..

She looks at it. Suddenly she chuckles as a tear escapes her eyes... She's smiling, but also crying.. She takes it and slides it on her finger, and as I expected..

It perfectly curves around her finger.. I knew Taehyung knew her finger size.. He wouldn't mess it up...

" Can you give it back to me??"

" Why?" She asks with a worried face..

" You can keep it if you want, but as far as I know.. Taehyung will love to put it on your finger by himself.." Her eyes widens

" What??!!!"

I hold her hand and remove the ring from her. She hesitates a lot, trying not to remove it from her hand, but I eventually pull it out from her finger.. Does it feel satisfying to me, hell yes. Does it make me a bad person for having this twisted pleasure? I don't give a fuck..

I turn back to leave the room.. " Areum what did you mean by that?" She raises her voice..

I stop and look back at her.. A smile curved on my face

" Be prepared Maya.. If possible, do a manicure, because tomorrow...

" The love of your life will put it on you by himself.."

With that I leave the room, and don't even look back at her..

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

I tell Namjoon Oppa everything.. He doesn't disturb me when I talk with Maya.. He knows very well why I become stubborn right now..

We come back to the house, when I get out of the car Oppa suddenly calls me. " Areum.."

" Ha? "

" I forgot to bring a file Hobi wanted.. I think it's important.. You go inside, and tell Hobi that I'll come with the file.." I just nod, and he turns the car and drives off..

I think about everything that happened throughout the whole day.. I'm really proud of myself that I didn't even show my broken side once.. Everybody thought I'm getting along with it where in reality I'm just hiding my true self.. After all I've stage 4 bipolarity.. These shits are normal to me..

I start walking toward the house but something seems off.. This place is feeling extra calm today.. Though it's past evening, and at this time people still come outside to have a walk or to go somewhere.. But it seems like today everyone is tired.. Who knows!!

I hear some rustling sounds from the side of that jungle.. I stop on my way to watch my surroundings. This jungle has its own mystery.. Sometimes it gives a friendly vibe, where other times it shows its dominance..

Something is really off tonight.. I'm getting mixed feelings that something or someone is keeping an eye on me.. I look at the house to see if Yoongi Oppa is watching me, but no one catches my eyes..

I shrug off the idea and start walking to the house..

Out of nowhere someone grabs my shoulder.. I try to shout but that person presses their palm over my mouth.. I still try to scream but some muffling sound just comes out..

" Scream and I'll cut your throat.." That person whispers in my ear and holds a knife on my neck.. Ready to make a blood show...

For fuck sake, this bitch is threatening me for something which I casually do to myself?

I don't utter a word... " Good" He says..

I wait for him to lose a little, just a little.. and when he does, I give him a headshot, and the knife falls off from his hand.. I take his arm, free myself and I literally twist his arm.. He starts screaming but stops suddenly...

I take the knife and place it in front of his neck this time.. " Try to cut me I'll fucking kill you in the most disgusted way.. " Of course he's taller and stronger than me, but right now the knife is in my hand..

He chuckles.. " You became more sexy, Areum.. Your threats literally a turn on.. "

" Imagine I turned you on and ripped off that turn on from your body huh? Will that be a turn on too?? Who the fuck are you??!! "

He gulps a little after my statement, but doesn't want to show me.. " I'm someone whose name you screamed most of the time, and now you can't recognize me?? " He chuckles..

" What the fuck are yo- " Suddenly something comes in my mind.. My grip on him starts to lose slowly.. At one point I release him completely and take some steps back...He looks back at me and smirks...

" Baekhyun..??!! " My eyes widen...

" It hurts you couldn't recognize me baby.. " He chuckles..

My vision becomes blurry.. Tears formed in my eyes, and it just needed a blink to be released and make their way to my face..

" Yo-you?? " My voice cracks..

" I missed you " He smiles and spreads his hands... Finally my tears won the battle and fell from my eyes.. I run to him and hug him tightly and cry my souls out..

" I-I thought I lost y-you.. Wh-where have you been huh??!! " He hugs me even tighter..

" Long story short.. I escaped.. " I look up at him.. " What? H-how did you?" I try to find any possible danger he might face..

" Becky.. How? "

He removes his hand from me.. " Where's the necklace? " He asks

" I- ummm I threw it in a river.. I know there might b-"

" Not might be.. There was a tracking device on your necklace.. I gave you hints a million times to throw it away, and when you did, everything had been done already.. " He sighs

I become confused.. How did he know I'm here? How he knew I'll... Wait!!!

I shot look at him.. " Becky?? You're the one who came in front of my window that night right?? Baekhyun, what is this? Wha-" He cuts me again by showing the same thing that takes my soul away for a moment that night..

I blink sometimes and look at it.. My fingers feel blisters just by seeing it. They don't have the gut to touch it neither do I.. " But what're you doing here? You escaped right? You should flew somewhere else "

He doesn't reply but drags me near to the jungle...

" What is it, Baekhyun?? Wha-"

" Areum you need to help me.. Listen I know nothing's making sense to you, and I don't have time for it.. I'm running here and there just to live another day... " I frown

" I ran from him.. He caged me to someone and flew somewhere else which I don't know.. But I was under someone's instructions and I had to kill him to escape.. " My eyes widen.. what??

He continues.. " Listen.. That time I helped you to open the lock.. This time repay me with something.. I don't expect you, ignore the fact that I showed you something which could drag you to me.. " He says, '' I really didn't understand it was Baekhyun that night. If I got any slightest idea I might have found some help for him..

" I don't have time for gossip, but I really need your help right now.. I think someone might- "

" Becky... Calm down... " I cup his face.. " How much time do you have? "

" Only tonight.. They might find me at any moment.."

I think for a while.. " Wait in front of my window.."

I leave him and go to my house .. I see Yoongi Oppa is sleeping on the couch, must be waiting for me to return.. I don't waste time and go straight to my room...

I take all the money I have... My spare phone which doesn't show the location to some specific control room.. A bag full of survival kits, and some weapons.. and some medicine which may help.. In front of the bag I write something on a piece of paper..

I put them all in the bag, and tie it with a rope. I open the window and as expected, Baekhyun is standing in front of it..

I hung the bag and let it fall straight away.. A minute later Baekhyun takes the bag ... I sign him to see the front of the bag.. He takes the paper...

" Use the mobile for only incoming purposes..Don't even fucking try to communicate with anyone with it.. Someone will call you time to time "

I see how he takes the bag on his back. He gives me the last look and runs to the jungle and vanishes after a little..

I take my phone and call Jungkook....

" You bitch what's up? You totally forgot about me..

Is Taehyung keeping you that much busy? "

" Kookie, I'm giving you an ID..

Track it and convert it to the nearest

local station from here and tell them

I'm sending someone, and I need them to

help him cross the border.. "

" Areum is everything ok-"

" I don't have any fucking time to explain you

what's going on.. Just do as I say..

This is not new to you.."

" Name.. "

" Byun Baekhyun "

" What??!!! Where did you find him? "

" Jungkook.. "

" Okay okay I'm calling you after I'm done.. "

I cut the phone and sigh heavily.. My throat becomes so dry that I feel if I gulp again it'll scratch inside, and start bleeding.. I take the glass from the side table, and chuck the water in one go.. The world really runs round huh? I let my back touch the bed.. So many memories started forming on the ceiling.. As if someone plays a slideshow.. I can't even believe I can see Baekhyun after that night..

But when the Lord shows His power, nobody can predict what can happen.. I just wish he safely crosses the border..

I trust Jungkook in this.. He will do everything until Becky finally crosses the border...

I get up and tried to calm myself down... Then I leave the room..

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

I go to his room.. This may be the last day I'm seeing him.. I don't know what will happen after that but it'll be better if he moves on from now.. I knock on his door and he opens it, flashing me with a smile, I call my medicine..

" Areum.. You okay?? Are you feeling any better?? " I smile and nod..

He moves from the door, lets me enter the room, and I sit on his bed.. " I didn't see you the whole day.. Where have you been?"

" I was in my room, sleeping.. I was feeling sleepy a lot, and you told me to take rest so I slept the whole day.. I even had so many dreams which didn't make any sense as usual.. Haha.. " He laughs

I smile by myself just by looking at him.. I still remember he didn't even speak a simple word when we first met, and now he's talking like I'm his best friend, with whom he can share everything...

" What dream you've had, may I know?? "

" I think I had the same dream again and again.. Sometime I see a girl was running from me on a field full of flowers, sometimes it becomes a mountain, sometimes it becomes a jungle, and sometimes it becomes a murder place where I'm trying to kill her, stab her.. Every time she'll look at me and sign me to follow her.. And before that she says only one sentence...

" Once I'm gone.. I'm never gonna come to you.. Once I'll leave you'll lost me forever.. "

" And what's your reply then? "

" I just said something like.. " He thinks for a while...

" Once I found you, I'm not gonna leave you anymore.. "

He said exactly this line when he held me tightly that night.. That means he had that dream yesterday too... I think he's missing Maya way too much..

" If I could I would give you a believable explanation of your dream, but sadly I can't.. " I chuckle a little..

" Why? You can explain other dreams I've seen. But why not this one? "

I sigh.. " Because this dream is... If I put them in words.. You were looking for your long lost love, and were roaming the whole world.. You eventually found her sometimes but she always said she's gonna leave you.. and you became stubborn and held her tightly and said you're not letting that happen.. Also about the place.. The place shows what kind of situation you had faced when you were looking for her.. "

He looks at me with a confused eye but then something may have caught in his mind.. " Maya? "

Why this name literally stabs me every fucking time? Like whenever he says her name it feels like he's the one stabbing me..

I was taken aback a little, but I control myself.. I smile and nod..

" But Maya is getting better right? Then why am I seeing this?? "

" Taehyung... Tell me what you understand about love.. Like actual love... "

He lowers his head and chuckles lightly.. " Love ......Love is nothing but life. Love is when you feel like you've found someone, or something that will bring each and everything you desired all of this time.. Love can make you feel the things you've never felt.. Love can give you that much strength and power that you can achieve anything and everything in your life.. Love is something that can drag you out from a hole where only darkness can be found.. Love can give your actual self back to you which you spent the night searching for your whole life, still behaving like love did nothing.. Love can give you hope of living this world one more day.. Love can bring back your inner child from you.. " He looks at nowhere and says.. I've never realized Taehyung can be this much thoughtful.. Maya is really lucky I must say..

" Taehyung.." He looks at me..

" Yeah?"

" Who am I to you? " I ask directly, as he blinks. His smile fades away.

" Huh? "

" Who am I to you Taehyung?? "

He stands up and comes to me and sits beside me.. " You're... You're hmmm.. I've never thought like that.. " He says, and I clench my jaw..

" If you really want to know then.. you're a bridge to me.. A bridge that gave me a way to come out from that hole.. "

" So I'm just a bridge to you?? " I ask blankly..

" More than that, Areum.. " He takes my hand.. " If I could show you how much you mean to me, then you would realize.. I'm not good with words like you.. "

" Then show me.. " He looks at me, confused

" Show me how much I mean to you Tae.."

He smiles, and stands up.. " Give me your hands.. "

I get confused.. I look up at him.. He stretches his hand and I take that without wasting any time.. Suddenly he drags me up, and pulls me into him, and hugs me tightly..

I fail to say anything, nor form any words.. Nothing.. He hugs me , and I bury myself in him.. His breath is fanning my bare neck.. While I hold him too..

I can't control myself, and let my tears fall from my eyes.. I don't even care if his shirt is getting soaked by my tears.. I can hear his heartbeat clearly. Why is his heart beating this much fast??

" You're the light of my life, Areum.. You're everything I've ever wished for since I lost myself.. You're the one who found me.. Words not enough to describe who you're to me Areum.. "

I don't say anything, let me sob silently.. Somehow he realizes and loses his grip, and makes me face him.. " Areum!! Why are- Hey... Is everything okay?? Did I say something that hurt you?? "

I shake my head.. " Your words made me overwhelmed actually.. " I say and he wipes my tears..

" You know what, Areum.. I've never seen a woman who can be this much strong from the inside and the outside.. I've always treated women like they need to be pampered, they need to be cherished like a rose.. But after meeting you I remembered roses have thorns too.. Which sometimes can be poisonous.. "

I look at him and smile.. " I'm really so proud of you Areum.. I can't even repay you for what you did to me.. " I start to cry loudly, when he hugs me tightly.. Muffling my sobs, and whimpering in him. I don't know, maybe he predicts something, which is why he lets me cry like this. Maybe my heart speaks out to his heart about what I'm actually feeling right now..

I don't want to leave him, and it seems like he doesn't have any problem with that.. We don't even know how much time we stayed like this.. We didn't want to know..

Because at the end of this night we both are gonna regret that we're falling apart....
