Stranger

A certain boy who had fallen asleep in the waiting room after hours of waiting had finally been a woken by a girl who seemed to be in his age group.

He groaned as he asked for five more minutes on reflex but he soon got up when he remembered that he indeed wasn't in the comfort of his own home but in the cold dreaded hospital.

"Excuse me? Do I know you?" He asked as he tried his best to conceal his groggy voice.

"No, you actually don't but I've been watching you since last night and- omg I'm so sorry that sounds so creepy" Was it weird that he actually felt slightly better due to the bubbly girl infront of him? Well it didn't matter since he did feel a teeny tiny bit better.

"It's ok" it felt wrong to smile but he still gave one anyways "Good to see I atleast distracted you for a second, I noticed that you've been here ever since that boy came in the surgery room"

"I also realized that he hasn't come out yet" the waiting room once again fell silent and the atmosphere became heavier.

"Yeah...if you don't mind I going to uh grab a drink" she nods and stands up, understanding that the gloomy boy needed space.

"Sure, I'll get going" he watches as she left, after that he gets up and heads to a nearby vending machine to as he said, grab a drink.

He anxiously waited for his drink as it was not announced when the doctor would be going out and giving him the news.

News that he both dreaded and anticipated.

After what felt like hours he finally went back to his spot, although surprised that the girl had now moved closer to his seat.

"You can sit here if you want" he said as he pointed to the seat beside him "No I don't want to invade your space, I'll stay here" he nods and took a sip from his iced coffee.

After hours of waiting the doctor finally came out, looking incredibly exhausted.

Jungkook stood up faster than light when the man in the white uniform called out his name "Thats me, I'm Jeon Jungkook"

"Well Mr. Jeon, I have good news and bad news. Good news is that he survived through out the surgery, bad news is that we don't think he is stable enough and might even fall into a coma"

If he wants sure his heart was broken then now it's completely crushed until it turned to dust.

What was this man saying? His baby bear might not wake up? That's impossible, Taehyung is the strongest person he knows, of course ignoring the fact Jimin exists as he was dead to the boy.

"What..? Doc, you'll do everything you can right? Please do everything you can do to save my baby" as if his tears hadn't run out by now, it once again started flowing like a river after a heavy storm.

"I'll try my best Mr. Jeon but for now if you want to see him, you can"

They didn't have to tell him twice before the boy rushed into the room his injured lover peacefully slept.

Oh how he wished he could be as peaceful as the other boy was right now.

"Hello my baby bear, how are you feeling?" He asked and took a seat beside the tan boy who's whole body was almost all covered in gauge.

It was as if time froze seeing his lover like this, it pained and broke him as he knew very well he was the cause of his love ones pain.

He knew it was his fault but he couldn't help but blame it on the blond who was nowhere to be seen at this time they needed him most.

'probably enjoying his time with someone else' the helpless boy thought.

While Jungkook thought the blond was enjoying his time accompanied by someone else, in reality the boy was sitting just outside their shared home.

He had been there ever since last night, knocking for who knows how long when he eventually thought that they simply didn't want him in.

He thought he deserved it although he didn't know what he did wrong he knew if those sweet boys were mad at him then there must be a reasonable explanation for that, he just had to figure it out.

If only he had checked the driveway sooner then he would have saved time rather than staying out in the cold, waiting for no one.

After he noticed that the car was nowhere to be seen his mind spiraled into dark thoughts until what the girl from his class told him entered his mind once again.

"They probably are just pretending to be mad to get away and find a reason to break up with you"

At first it seemed utterly impossible but now that he put all the pieces together, it did seem like they did that to get away from him.

The empty house, missing car, having not seen them ever since Jungkook's outbreak, it all made sense.

But instead of getting mad at them for doing this to him without any real reason, he just cried not knowing what went wrong.

Was it that he was too emotional and problematic for them to handle? It must be that.

After crying for hours and hours on end he did something he didn't even dream of doing in all his 20 years of living.

Going back to his father willingly after finally escaping and being free.

He thought that since his lovers left him anyways and probably took their baby girl with them, then he should just end it all.

He didn't want to kill himself, no he didn't want to do that, it would be better if someone else was responsible cause then he wouldn't be able to stop them from actually killing him.

As he made the miles and miles walk to his old house he finally stood in front of the old door he used to dread even going near to.

Opening it, the creaking noise could be heard and undoubtedly his father would have heard it.

As soon as he entered he closed the door behind him and locked it, thinking that there shouldn't be a way for him to escape his father's cold and hard grasps.

Looking around the living room he found bottles upon bottles scattered everywhere, may it be broken or intact they were still there.

"Welcome back son" was the last thing he heard before the bottle shattered on his head and he collapsed on the hard concrete floor, thinking this was the end and that he deserved it.
