Suddenly, they both feel somebody else's presence in the room which causes them to clamp their mouths shut. "Are you alright, buddy?" Jungkook questions as he is walking towards his best friend who is on the hospital bed. "Oh, I'm sorry, I—" He is cut off when he sees Namjoon holding Seokjin's hand, tightly.

"No, it's okay," Namjoon says, and gives Jungkook a beautiful smile which causes those lovely dimples to appear on his perfect face. "I was about to leave." He continues, and lets go of Seokjin's hand again.

Before leaving, he leans forward, and leaves a soft kiss on Seokjin's forehead which makes him smile even though he is in so much pain, right now. As the connection between them gets stronger, the more pain Seokjin feels.

"That's the Namjoon you are always talking about, right?" Jungkook asks this question right after Namjoon leaves the room, and his best friend nods.

"He is beautiful."

Jungkook smiles, and says, "You sure are in love, Seokjin."

Seokjin stares at a blind sight, and thinks about the moment they kissed which makes his eyes to shine more than ever.

"Hoseok— um, well, he is at the police station," With this sudden conversation about the boy who is Seokjin's childhood friend, he returns to the reality. "He is not feeling very well, either."

"It is all my fault," Seokjin blames himself. "It is all because of turning back the clock," He holds his eyes closed, tightly, not wanting to show those tears to his best friend. "Things are still happening, Jungkook, can't you see? I wanted to change everything, but some things are still happening, they are even happening in a worse way, and only I can stop this."

"How can you stop this?" Jungkook questions, and lets out a deep breath.

"I don't know— I don't want to lose Namjoon again now that he is falling for me, you know?" Seokjin opens his eyes, and teardrops start falling down on his cheeks. "I love him."

"Please, Seokjin, don't cry," Jungkook says, and teardrops escape his eyes, because it is hard for him to see his best friend crying. "Everything will be fine."

"We both know that's a lie, Jungkook," Seokjin says, and wipes away his tears with the back of his hands. "You and I both know that's a dirty lie."

Suddenly, the door opens, and they see that it is none other than Mr. Kim, Seokjin's father. "What the fuck have you gotten yourself into, son?"

"He is on the hospital bed, Mr. Kim, so I think you need to be careful with your words." Jungkook defends his best friend which makes Seokjin's father turn his face at him.

"Who the fuck are you, again?" His father walks towards Jungkook, slowly. "Get out of here before you get yourself killed, boy."

Jungkook stands up to say something in return, but Seokjin grips his wrist. "Leave."

"But—" Jungkook is cut of when the grip on his wrist gets tighter than before.

"I said leave," Seokjin says, and lets go of his best friend. "Please." Deep inside, he knows that all Jungkook wants to do is help, but right now, it is best for him not to be around his monster father, so he leaves there as fast as possible.

"What a jerk!" His father says, and rolls his eyes.

"Don't you dare—" Seokjin is cut off when the door opens again. At first, he thinks that it is Jungkook, but when he pays more attention, he sees that it is none other than Namjoon.

"Um, hello?"
