[Chapter 17]

Chaeyeon was sitting behind the nurse in the ambulance as the nurse was pushing the air into Mrs. Min's lungs. Chaeyeon held onto her mother's left hand as she leans on it, praying for her to be okay.

Yoongi broke the eye contact as he turns around, while Jungkook also did the same. Before Jungkook could walk away to his car, Yoongi quickly turned back around and harshly grabbed onto his arm, turning him around, and swing his fist right across his jaw.

"Yoongi!" - Aunt Jiyoung

Aunt Jiyoung gasps in shock as Jungkook touches his jaw and looked back at Yoongi. Yoongi then pointed his finger at him in anger.

"You have no right to talk to me like that. You may have the higher status but I am still older than you. Respect that." - Yoongi

Jungkook scoffed.

"Well then ... I guess you can't choose the decisions for me either. Respect that." - Jungkook

Jungkook said it in a sarcastic way as Yoongi shook his head.

"I'm not the one choosing for you, Jungkook. Chaeyeon is. I'm just doing what she asked me to do." - Yoongi

Jungkook got quiet when he heard her name. Aunt Jiyoung then walked up to him.

"Chaeyeon is doing what she thinks is best for her and for you." - Aunt Jiyoung

Jungkook looked up at her.

"But what if what she's doing is harming us instead?" - Jungkook

Aunt Jiyoung sighed.

"She's only letting me go because she thinks that history will repeat again. She's scared that I'll leave her in the future but I'm not and will never do that." - Jungkook

Aunt Jiyoung and Yoongi then exchange glances at one another.

"Please. Let me go and see her. I need her in my life. Without her, I'm just ... nothing." - Jungkook

Yoongi sighs as he darts his eyes around, thinking of what to do.

"I want Chaeyeon to be happy, to smile like the past few months. Are you really that confident to make sure Chaeyeon continues to smile without overthinking that one day you'll leave her?" - Yoongi

Jungkook nods his head.

"I'm 100% confident that I'll make her the happiest person in this world. I'll love her to the point where she would feel no emptiness .. no darkness to be drowned in." - Jungkook

Yoongi sighed once again.

"Fine. I'll let you go see her ... but only if you can change her mind in time." - Yoongi

Jungkook frowned in confusion.

"What do you mean? I thought you guys are just moving to a different house." - Jungkook

"For now, we're staying in a rented house. This weekend, we're leaving Seoul ... for good." - Yoongi

Jungkook's expression went blank as he couldn't imagine his life without her in it. Yoongi walked up to him and patted his shoulder.

"You have two days to convince her to stay or else I can't help you. It's on you to make sure that she stays, not us." - Yoongi

Jungkook wasn't sure if two days was enough for him to convince her but he'll try anything to make sure that she stays. He would even shot himself to make her stay and take care of him. Jungkook nodded his head as Yoongi and Aunt Jiyoung gave him a smile.
