I'm so good at updating IM GONNA CRY.

"Do you have a fiancée?"

"I do."

For some reason, Jungkook knew the answer Taehyung was going to say.

Maybe it was because it had already been 3 years. Or maybe because he knew that it was impossible to love someone who suddenly disappeared. Jungkook didn't blame him.

"Jungkook, I can explain. She is my fiancée but I have a reason and-"

"Taehyung it's fine. It's been years and you have the right to marry whoever you want."

"No that's not what I want to say." Taehyung reached out.

"I don't want to hear what you want to say." Jungkook placed the photo back on the nightstand resisting his shaking hands.
"I just—need to be alone right now. Sorry." He said and walked out of the room whilst grabbing a jacket on the way.

"Jungkook please-"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He probably was just going through a normal phase of shock.

Or he was going through something he shouldn't have been going through.

Jungkook was seeing visions of Taehyung.
But it wasn't usual.

He was seeing himself beat up Taehyung with a bat, who lay unconscious on the ground as if he was dead. The older was bleeding from his head as Jungkook himself kept hitting him with rage and anger.

Jungkook was terrified with what he had seen.
Why was he seeing these things? Though it was just inside his head, it seemed so real and it frightened Jungkook. He turned his head away.
This has never happened before.

Pills. I need my pills.

He searched for his pocket in fear but realized that he had forgotten all of them at home. Jungkook really didn't know where he was and the sun had already fallen, which made things even worse. The nearest street light was 80 meters away.

What also made the situation worse was that his phone was left at home too. He felt like a fool for not thinking straight and leaving home with just a jacket, on a chilly autumn night.

>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Yes, he left about 20 minutes ago. No, I don't know if he took his pills—I thought they were for his allergies? Does he have to take them?— Oh- Well, do you know where he might've gone? —No, but I want to find him. I can find him.—But I can't just stay at home, I'm worried and— Well...— Okay."

Taehyung hung up his phone call and stood in the kitchen.

After a minute of thinking, he quickly went to grab the apartment keys and his jacket.

When the younger had left, Taehyung had no idea what he was supposed to do, but quickly thought of calling the hospital Jungkook was treated in. How did he find the phone number?

It was in Jungkooks contact list from the phone he forgot to take. To the olders surprise, his password was the same from before.

Using his best English skills he tried to explain the situation, but because the nurse didn't understand a single word he was saying, they got him a translator on the phone.

And he left the apartment within 2 minutes after hanging up with the doctor, hoping that he would find Jungkook before they did.

Jungkook please be there.

Taehyung ran through the dark streets, using the map on his phone to find his way through where ever he was headed.

He went inside stores, parks and alleys, but Jungkook was nowhere to be found. At this point, Taehyung was sure he was running around in circles.

Suddenly, his right pocket vibrated and he took out his phone to see that the hospital had called him.

"Hello?"

"We have retrieved Mr. Jeon. He is safe with us now. We will deliver him to his house tomorrow." Spoke the man from the other end of the line.

Taehyung sighed in relief.
"Where was he? Is he okay? I can come and pick him up right now."

"Please do not worry, you will see him tomorrow. He is unharmed and is sleeping at the moment."

"Okay, what time will he come back home?"

"When he wakes up. Have a good night."

"W-wait-"

The call had ended before he was able to say anything else. He tightly squeezed his phone as he started walking back to Jungkooks apartment.

He somehow didn't really buy the idea that Jungkook was already sleeping, but as long as he was in the hospital where it is safe, Taehyung was fine with it.

That night, Taehyung stayed up the whole time and sat on the couch waiting for the doorbell to ring. He knew that Jungkook would be sent sometime in the morning, but the older wanted to be ready.

He even rehearsed what he had wanted to say to the younger just in case Jungkook was still upset.

He waited and waited, until Taehyung had realized that the clock on the wall hit 8:30 am.

There was a knock on the door and Taehyung was quick enough to open it in the next 5 seconds.

"Jungkook?" Taehyung called out as he pulled the door open. There stood the younger with an unreadable expression, wearing the exact same clothes as yesterday.

"Oh for fuck sake, thank god you're safe." The older pulled Jungkook into his open arms.

The younger didn't hug back, but pulled away from Taehyung.

"W-what's wrong? Jungkook, if you're still mad about last night I can ex-"

"I don't remember anything."

Taehyung furrowed his eyebrows.
"What?"

"I don't remember anything. I don't know why I woke up in that hospital. Why wasn't I with you yesterday? When did I ever go to that hospital?" Jungkook started attacking him with questions.

"Woah, wait. You're telling me you don't remember running out of the house and leaving me after we talked?"

"What? Did we fight? Why did I run out?"

"Shit. Did they wipe your memory or something?"

"I don't understand why I cannot remember anything from last night. The only thing I can recall was when we were heading home from sightseeing. After that, it's as if my mind just--stopped working." The younger explained in an agitated tone.

"Didn't the doctors say anything when you woke up this morning? Like why you were in the hospital?" The older questioned, holding on to Jungkooks shoulders.

"T-they didn't say anything about last night. They just told me to get ready to leave. I asked but they would reply, 'I hope you had a nice stay.' And that was it."

"I'm going to call the hospital."
With Jungkooks approval, Taehyung took his phone that was placed on the table and redialled the number.

"Hello?"

"Oh hello, yesterday a patient named Jeon Jungkook spent overnight at your hospital and I was wondering what the doctors operated during his stay."

"Sorry sir, I cannot give out any private information beside-"

"I'm his family. I'm with him right now and it seems that he cannot remember anything from last night."

"I really can not-"

"Just please at least tell me what happened because he has no idea why he woke up at your goddamn hospital." Taehyung spoke urgently.

"O-okay, can you repeat the name of the patient please?"

"Jeon Jungkook."

A few moments later, the other end of the line replied.

"It seems that Mr. Jeon had never stayed at our hospital sir."

"Excuse me?"

"He's not on our patients' list sir."

"Not a single Jeon Jungkook was at your hospital last night?"

"No."

"But how is that possible when I called in yesterday and you people told me that you would take care of him?"

"I am very sorry but I do not think we are able to help you. I suggest you check with Mr. Jeon that you are calling the right hospital first. I hope you have a good day sir."

"No wait-"

The call ended before Taehyung knew.

Jungkook walked over to the olders side.
"What did they say?"

"They said you never stayed there."

"What? I did I swear. I woke up there today how is that even possible?"

"I don't know, but there's something going on that we don't know. Jungkook please try and remember what you can."

"I'm trying but I can't. My mind goes completely blank after a certain point." He sighed.

The two stood in the living room perplexed. Jungkook sat down and went over what he remembered last night. However, every time he tries to recall anything after coming back from home, he cannot remember a thing.

"Jungkook, maybe it's the best if we visit the hospital. You can see if you really stayed there and remember some things." Taehyung had suggested.

"Maybe. But we can go in the afternoon. I'm really tired for some reason." The younger yawned and sat on the couch.

"Are you okay?" The older asked, sitting down next to him.

"What if there's something wrong with me." Jungkooks voice lowered as he looked down at his own hands.

Taehyung slid his hands into Jungkooks' and intertwined their fingers.
"There is nothing wrong with you. Don't assume things so quickly Jungkook. I came here to help you, I'm always on your side."

"To help me? With what?"

"I mean- I'm never going to leave you just because of your health. Don't you know by now ? I mean I came here all the way because I realized I still love you after all these years." Taehyung reassured him.

Jungkook nodded in response.
"I guess you are right. I love you Taehyung."

The olders stomach churned.
"I...I love you too Jungkook. Forever and always."

The younger smiled softly and lay down on Taehyung's lap.
"Wake me up when it's time."

"Alright. But first, tell me. What's the name of the hospital you stayed at?"

"Florence Mental Health Institution."
