J e o n J u n g k o o k P O V .

I hate you for what you did to Sara, and you should hate yourself too.

I stare at ceiling that looks indifferent to every emotion I ever dissipated, staring at the clean, white roof whether it was in LA or now. The fact that my actions are responsible for Sara's degrading health and mental peace is enough to haunt me all my life. Jimin was right;

A tear leaves my eyes that are on the verge of spilling more, almost making the room in front of me disappear into darkness. He surely loves her enough to never leave her alone, while I left her knowing I was the last person she ever expected would abandon her like that.

How did I survive these two years? Don't even ask.

I wipe my tears hastily, turning to my side on hearing a pair of footsteps running into the room, followed by my brother's voice calling my name. The boy runs up to me, climbing on my bed and tugs on the covers, shaking me quite aggressively. Maybe he will go away if I pretend to sleep?

"Kookie" He calls with desperation hinting in his voice, "I saw princess noona in the balcony."

I stay quiet and close my eyes, taking a breath, not yet letting my plan fail while Jeonghun attempts again, "Hyungie, princess noona looked sad. She was crying."

"What?" I turn around, dropping the acting for a moment and frown at his words, "She was crying?"

"It looked like she was crying." He says, "Is she sick? She had some medicines and coughing."

"Uh she... she had medicines?"

"Yes, a lot."

For a second my brain storms around my skull, going in all directions until I'm already on my feet, rushing to the door and jog downstairs. Jeonghun follows behind me, which I notice only when I'm already at her door, knocking and pressing the doorbell button.

"Sara?" I call impatiently.

"Princess noona!" Jeonghun yells beside me.

The door opens in a few moments and I push myself in, my hands holding Sara by her shoulders as I scan her body from head to toe, "Are you okay?" I ask with my breath quivering a bit thanks to all the hastened motions and anxeity.

"Yes?" She blinks a few times, "What happened?"

"Uh uhm actually, Jeonghun saw you in the balcony and said you were taking a lot of medicines, so I just thought I should check." I say, sighing deeply in relief.

"Oh those, yeah I was just seeing which ones I should keep for emergencies and which ones to throw." She says, chuckling at us and ruffles Jeonghun's hair. "So you watch me from there hm?"

"Uh no, I was playing today and I saw you. I promise! But hyungie likes watching you." He says, making me choke on my saliva and giving me another reason why should I be dead by now.

Sara laughs nervously, glancing at me and then back at my brother, probably thinking of what to say, while I lower my head in embarrassment. Someone dig me a whole to another universe!

"Uhm do you like cookies?" She asks Jeonghun, "I baked some in the morning today."

"Yes, I love cookies!" The boy nods, taking her hand and follows her to the kitchen.

"Jeonghun, let's not disturb noona hm? Let her rest, we'll come later." I say, patting his head as he pouts at me, shaking his head. "Please buddy, noona has to rest."

"It's fine Jungkook, I'd be happy to him here for a while. It sucks to be alone all the time." She says with a smile which looks too real to be a forced one. So I nod hesitantly, taking a step back almost ready to leave when her voice rings in my ears again, "Come and taste the cookies, and tell me if they're okay."

"Me?" I ask.

"Is your hyungie stupid?" She scrunches her face, looking at Jeonghun who laughs at me. "Now come on, noona has some banana milk too. Do you like it?"

"Yes! Me and hyungie love banana milk!" Jeonghun cheers, making Sara chuckle, glancing at me with a soft smile.

"Well, that's great." She says, heading to the kitchen, busy talking to Jeonghun who just doesn't shut up and keeps going on about what I like and what I don't like. I don't mind the conversation as it's fun watching Sara being genuinely happy and engaged in something, especially after what happened that day.

She's wearing a black crop top and matching shorts, revealing a part of her waist and stomach which I notice just now when she stood on her tippy-toes to reach for a cabinet. Jeonghun tugs on my shirt, pointing at the girl and mouths me to go and help her. Since when can he think so much?

Nonetheless I walk to her, grabbing the box of green tea which she's been supposedly trying to reach, and place it on the counter next to her. She looks over her shoulder first before gradually turning around in the narrow space between me and the counter.

"Thanks mr tall" She sighs.

"You're welcome shorty." I let out and realise how normal we can actually make this, instead of dying in guilt and awkwardness. Now that I have a hope, I'll pour everything to make her mine.

"Sara? I'm here" Jimin's voice echoes out of nowhere, forcing me to get away from Sara and also kills a part of my hope. We turn to look at the living room and find the guy halting on his steps on seeing me. "What the heck are you doing here?"

"Jimin, it's okay. Jeonghun wanted to see me." Sara says, exchanging a glance with me, "He's so adorable, they came to check on me." She chuckles to Jimin who now smiles for her.

"Did you take your meds?" He asks, making the girl go quiet for a moment before gasping and staring at Jimin. "Do it right now." He orders, patting her back and takes a seat near Jeonghun.

"Hey buddy," He smiles when my brother waves at him.

"Hyung, he is princess noona's friend." Jeonghun says turning to me as he points st Jimin. Obviously. "He said he can do wonders with his mouth. Did you do it hyung?"

Jimin chokes on thin air while I stare at him with a smirk, waiting for what he might answer to a child after bringing up this shitty thing in front of him. However he glances at Sara and tugs on her top, pulling her closer to the table, "Why don't you ask your noona? She loves wonders."

"Park Jimin!" She shrieks, hitting him a few times. Take the knife and stab him!

"Okay fine! don't answer, I'll do it." He grins.

Sara glares at him shaking her head, "You wouldn't dare."

"Why not? Jeonghun wants to know the about wonders hyung can do." I feel like the punching the shit out of this dude.

"Anyways," Sara rolls her eyes at him and walks to the fridge, taking out two boxes of banana milk, handing one to me and one to Jeonghun. Her smile shines in front of my eyes as I sit, listening to Jeonghun saying something about the cookies tasting great. But half of my attention remains at Sara, simply looking so good. I bet she tastes better than the cookies.

"The fuck are you looking at?" Jimin's voice snaps me out of my trans, making me turn to find him leaning on the counter right next to me. "She's beautiful, but not the one you should be staring at." He grits sending an icy glare towards me.

"I wasn't staring." I clear my throat, opening the the small container in my hand and insert the straw, taking the first sip of the banana flavoured milk.

"Yeah sure," He scoffs, "I told you to stay away, still you have the audacity to show up here. You called me shameless, what are you?"

"Me being anywhere near her doesn't concern you." I shake my head, standing up with my eyes on him, "I did wrong, now I'm going to correct that, and you, Park Jimin, will not come in my way."

"I won't," He says, making me frown at the sudden drop of hatred for me. But his glare returns with a step he takes forward, almost bumping chests with me, "I won't say anything if you just work on pulling your shit together. But dare hurt her, even accidentally, I'll make you regret coming back in her life."

"I would never hurt her."

"I hope you're right this time." He nods and I follow his gaze at Sara who is busy talking and laughing with Jeonghun. Okay, maybe he's not that bad.

"Since when are you guys so close?" Sara asks, staring at us with amused eyes. Before I answer anything, Jimin is already making his way to the other end of the counter.

"Close? Me and this guy?" He says, giving me a disgusted look and turns away, "Never."

"What was I even expecting." Sara sighs deeply, taking my hand and pulls me with her, pointing at the dough they're making, "Jimin, you come here too. We're making more cookies, and I want you both to cut them into different shapes. Me and Jeonghunie are doing ours."

"Wha- seriously?" I raise my eyebrows, "Do I have to do it? And that too with this dirty man?"

"Yes, you dirty people do it. We nice people are doing ours, right Jeonghun?"

"Yes, me and princess noona are making stars and smilies." The boy nods.

"I-"

"Okay," Jimin nudges me, nodding his head as he gestures towards Sara's smiling face while she helps Jeonghun cut another cookie.

"We'll make uh hearts?" I suggest, smiling a little.

"Yeah sure, whatever you like." She replies. "And Jimin you?"

"Uh Stars, smilies, hearts... then I can do..."

"Moon?" Jeonghun says.

"Yeah great!" Sara nods.

"Alright, moon." Jimin smiles and start cutting the the shapes our from the thick sheet of dough that I rolled for both of us.
