Third person P.O.V

"Yes, me. Taehyung shi." She smiled, making the already confused boy more bewildered. He clearly remembered the scenes of seeing her in pieces, that gore-some sight, how can he forget? But wasn't that a nightmare? Everything was just getting jumbled up and playing with his sanity.

"No, you- you... YOU DIED!" Jungkook was already on his way to take hold of the boy who was about to collapse this time with utmost disbelief.

"Baby, what are you talking about? She is your doctor, Ms. Soo Minha, you're under treatment and she is the in-charge." Shaking his head, Taehyung pushed back the older weakly but his weak attempt was useless as he actually felt his knees lose strength when the girl softly touched his forehead.

"There is no fever, but he is trapped again. Get him to the room, Mr. Jeon."

Jeon?

The shaky pupils met with the warm ones. "Jeon?" Jungkook bit his lips and carried him up carefully before walking back to the same room.

"Love, you're scaring me a lot this time. That's me, and soon, you will be a Jeon as well."

Han Jungkook... adopted son of Dr. Han.

Another flash made him shudder, another chunk of his memory or nightmare, he couldn't decide yet.

Seeing the brunet heavily in a daze, Jungkook gestured to the doctor to start her work. She gently took a seat beside the dazed brunet before taking out a small torch from her medical bag.

"Taehyung shi, what did you see this time? Can you tell me in detail, please?" Taehyung once again shuddered at the voice, same voice, same gaze but a bit softer.

How can I remember that in so much detail and forgot the rest?

"- by, love?" Breaking his trance he looked up to find a very worried Jungkook standing with fists clenching.

"I saw you dying, your blood... it was everywhere. They- they ate you and-" Once again, it felt like his memory just stopped working suddenly.

Taking hold of his head, he let out a loud breath. "Baby, calm down and drink some water, here, open your mouth love."

He didn't know, but deep down it was like some sort of restraints were pulling him away from all of them. Silently watching the older carrying the glass in front of him, he just stared to the side to find a new face. A boy in his mid-twenties, maybe.

Noticing the gaze, Jungkook quickly introduced the male to him. "He is Jay, baby. Our servant, the one you hired last month when we shifted here."

The little, very little peace that was about to embrace him, again left him in great havoc. Now, when he tried to recall more about whatever was bothering him, he couldn't recall it, except for two names.

"Jin hyung, Jimin.. where are they?!" Jungkook frowned, his expression morphed into another wave of confusion and sadness as he placed the glass on the side table before getting a seat on the other side of the brunet and taking hold of his trembling hands.

"Love," He licked his lips, eyes again getting teary but he gulped thickly before continuing just making Taehyung lean back like a dead body. "Who are they?"

Taehyung let out a peal of dry laughter, a laughter that soon turned into a sob when he started pulling his hair. It was really too much to understand, one second he recall something, and the memory was proved wrong by the people in front of him. If he tried to recall something more, nothing much could be clear, leaving him in a blurry world.

Jungkook clenched his jaw and tried to embrace the other who was now sobbing and pulling his hair like a crazy lad but got pushed away.

"STAY AWAY! WHAT DID YOU DO WITH ME? I- I can't remember.. my mind is like a whirlpool right now! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!" Dr. Soo quickly opened her bag again and filled a syringe in a great hurry as Jungkook tried to control the younger who was now thrashing and trying to run away.

"Mr. Jeon, grab him tightly." Jungkook nodded, avoiding the protest and pushing the brunet did until Dr. Soo finally succeeded in injecting the content inside Taehyung's arm.

It didn't take long before Taehyung was feeling like his body was so heavy and his mind so lighter. His teary eyes met with Jungkook's teary ones. The older pecked his head many times as he was placed gently back on the bed, a blanket covering him.

"Rest a bit, love. I'm here for you. I'll stay here for you, just for you." Hearing those fading words, Taehyung's mind finally found some peace as he involuntarily closed his eyes as soothing words continued with the soft caresses on his scalp.

The soft breeze was blowing his hair gently as he kept on watching the slightly distant trees, the rustling of leaves was so clear in the air.

The whole area was filled with greenery, a whole forest at some distance, and the rest of the ground was decorated with lush green grasses of various types. His face was stoic, his heart was empty, mind still trying to unfold the knots.

"Sir, Mr. Jeon is back and is asking for you." Jay, the servant politely said and smiled but Taehyung couldn't respond to that.

Jay looked kinda embarrassed but again smiled and step forward, standing a bit closer to the dazed brunet.

"Sir-"

"Can you tell me one thing?" Taehyung asked instead, causing the other to panic for a second before nodding his head enthusiastically.

"Sure, ask anything, sir." Taehyung turned his face to see the other's face gleaming with excitement and doe eyes looking so innocent.

"When did I come here?"

"Last month, you shifted here with Mr. Jeon and I was called a day before for cleaning the place." Taehyung kept his face stoic, watching as the other continued.

"This mansion was newly built but needed some settings so, Mr. Jeon called me earlier but you were the one who selected me from our company."

"I don't remember at all." Jay bowed his head lightly. "Don't worry, you will be fine soon, sir. Mr. Jeon is taking great care of your health. He really cried the whole night when he came back and found you injured."

"I am not sick!" Being irritated by hearing the same thing, again and again, made him spit in annoyance but Jay nodded his head. Before he could say anything else, another voice interrupted him.

Taehyung felt a bit stiff but kept his calm demeanor. "You can go back, Jay." The servant followed the words and silently left.

The soft steps reached closer and Taehyung felt his heartbeat increasing slowly when his skin was fanned with warm breath near his nape.

"Sweetheart, how are you feeling now?" Taehyung blinked, not moving an inch when two arms wrapped around his waist, one slowly caressing his clothed skin.

Whatever happened the last night, he clearly remembered it all. He woke up around 12 pm as the clock showed and fortunately, he was alone in the room. After getting a bit fresh as Jay came for his help, he had breakfast that comprises a few bites of pancakes the younger made for him.

He took a little tour of the mansion to find a few pictures of Jungkook and himself, a phone that was claimed to be his own as Jay informed him. When he opened the gallery of his phone, he found not a single thing that he could recall. There were a few pictures of sceneries, a little selfies of Jungkook and him. Even the contacts had a few only, including Jungkook, Dr. Soo, Jay, and a few more people that he doesn't remember.

"What's wrong with me? Why can't I remember anything?" This time, he asked softly, voice sounding tired.

Jungkook seemed disturbed by the question as the grip around his waist tightened slightly and he started nuzzling.

"Baby, you will be fine soon. Don't worry-"

"TELL ME!" Heaving out a sigh, Jungkook softly mumbled.

"Schizophrenia."

Taehyung's face contorted in displeasure as he turned back harshly to give a glare to the other.

"It started a few months ago. Dr. Soo suggested taking you somewhere peaceful because your episodes were getting intense. Then, you suddenly requested to build a house near the forest and we came here." Taehyung remained silent when Jungkook explained shortly.

"If it's Schizophrenia, then what about my memories? Why can't I remember my past?" Jungkook bit his lips very harshly and looked up with soft eyes.

"Dr. Soo is confused about that too but you- you are showing symptoms of Dementia." Taehyung sighed, removing the arms of the other from his waist, he rubbed his hands together.

"What about my family? Friends?"

"You are an orphan, love, and an introvert. You can see your phone, there aren't many contacts." Taehyung clenched his fists, eyes again getting teary for an unknown reason.

"How did you find me?" Jungkook sighed but smiled widely.

"Our fate brought us together. I found you in Seoul, on the bridge where you were standing alone. I couldn't resist your charms and tried my luck. You showed a bit of interest and that's how we ended up together." Nodding to that, Taehyung decided that it was enough for the time being.

They had lunch together, a pretty decent and healthy one. But he was still not so used to the environment.

Days started to pass on and slowly, he started to believe in his recent life. Maybe, whatever he had in some corner of his mind was really a nightmare or his hallucinations. Maybe, he was really sick in mind to be in those horrific delusions. Maybe, that was all just a nightmare created by his sick brain.

But, was it really?
