Line between Life and Death

Hours passed by. Everyone was waiting for the doctor. Everyone was lost in their thoughts, trying to pass the time. The waiting room was a mix of sterile white and muted pastels, designed to be calming but failing miserably in the face of the tension that hung in the air. Everyone sat in a tight cluster, their faces drawn with worry. The large clock on the wall seemed to tick louder with each passing second, amplifying their anxiety. Chaoyue stared at her phone, mindlessly scrolling through social media, but her eyes weren't really seeing anything. Every so often, she would glance up at the double doors that led to the operating room, her heart pounding with a mix of hope and dread. Jimin was pacing back and forth, his footsteps a steady rhythm of restless energy. He ran a hand through his hair for the hundredth time, his mind racing with a thousand 'what ifs'. Suga sat with his hands clasped tightly together, his knuckles white from the pressure. Every so often, Hyje in would squeeze Y/N's arm, offering a small gesture of comfort even as she sought it herself.

Y/N: Do you think he'll be okay? *Y/N finally asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

Jimin stopped pacing and looked at her, his eyes reflecting the same fear that she felt.

Jimin: He has to be. *he replied, though the uncertainty in his voice betrayed him.

Alexander: He's strong. He'll pull through.*hoping for positive result.

Y/N was in shock, she couldn't bear the separation from V and now Jungkook is also fighting there, for his life. She felt as if her appearance is a curse for everyone. Y/N was trying to control her tears but they were flowing non-stop.

The minutes dragged on, each one feeling like an eternity. The silence was broken only by the occasional sound of a nurse walking by or the distant murmur of a TV. They jumped every time the doors to the operating room swung open, their hearts leaping into their throats, only to sink back down when it wasn't the surgeon they were waiting for. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors opened, and a doctor in scrubs stepped out. They all stood up as one, their eyes fixed on him, searching his face for any hint of news. He walked over to them, his expression serious but calm.

Jimin: How is he? *blurted out, unable to contain himself any longer. The doctor was exhausted but gave them a reassuring smile.

Doc: The surgery went well. He's in recovery now. It'll be a little while before he wakes up. He's lucky that knife didn't hit his spinal.His some muscles are damaged. But no worries, everything looks good.

Relief washed over them like a wave. Y/N let out a shaky breath she didn't realize she'd been holding, Eun woo sank into a chair, his head in his hands, and Suga finally allowed himself to cry, tears of gratitude streaming down his face.

Y/N: Thank you. *she whispered to the doctor, her voice choked with emotion.

Alexander: Can we see him?

Doctor: Yeah. But after half hour and only one person.

As the doctor walked away, they all came together in a group hug, their bond strengthened by the shared ordeal. They knew there would be challenges ahead, but for now, they were just grateful that Jungkook was safe.They all decided that Y/N will go in while everybody will wait in the canteen.

Before going in Y/N went to meet Roy because he was also in this same hospital.

Y/N said to Roy that she wanted to talk about something with him.

Roy: Let's go outside. I feel sick in here. *Y/N nodded as she can his situation. They went outside.

Y/N: How's your wound? *upset

Roy: I'm fine now. I was just going home. *smiling weakly

Y/N: Sorry. I'm really guil- *cut off

Roy: You don't need to say it. Jungkook just likes you so much that he was unable to control his anger. If I were him I would do the same.

Roy: By the way...what happened with Jungkook? *worried she explained him everything

Y/N: ....It was horrible. *Roy grabbed Y/N's shivering hands and said.

Roy: It's okay. He will be fine. I know from the punches he gave me. *Y/N laughed and Roy smiled in his mask. Then Roy's head started to hurt because of the cold so Y/N asked him to go home and rest.

Then Y/N went to see Jungkook. Y/N sat in the sterile, white hospital room, the harsh fluorescent lights casting unforgiving shadows. The rhythmic beeping of the heart monitor was a cruel reminder of the fragile line between life and death. The sounds of machines were scaring her. She clutched the bracelet on her wrist given by Jungkook, her fingers tracing its contours anxiously. Y/N stands by the bedside, her eyes filled with worry and love as she looks at him, Jungkook, lying unconscious on the bed. She sat beside him and gently touched his hand, her fingers trembling.

Y/N: Jungkook, can you hear me? It's me, Y/N. *softly. She traces her fingers over his hand, feeling the warmth of his skin, hoping for any sign of response.

Y/N: (voice breaking) I'm right here. I need you to fight, okay? Please, don't leave me. *She moves her hand to his face, caressing his cheek tenderly.

Y/N: (tearfully) You're so strong, Jungkook. I know you can pull through this. I believe in you. *Her thumb brushes over his lips, and she leans in closer, her forehead resting gently against his. She closes her eyes, the weight of the moment pressing down on her, her heart aching with fear and love. She kisses his forehead softly, her tears falling onto his skin, as she continues to hold his hand, refusing to let go.

Y/N: Look what you have done to yourself....Do you know that when you collapsed, we were in the same place where V died? I was so scared I thought I will lose you to.*sobbing I don't know if you can hear me, but I need to say this. You mean everything to me. I never told you enough, but I am so grateful for every moment we've shared. You've shown me what true love feels like, and I am so blessed to have you in my life. I promise, Jungkook, I'll be here for you no matter what happens. I'll fight with you, cry with you, and love you with all my heart. I.....love you Jungkook. *After a while when she was about to leave the room then her bracelet got stuck in his cuff and Alexander came inside the room.

Alexander: Jungkook's parents are here. Do you want to meet them?

Y/N: Not now. *while trying to take off her bracelet in hurry and dropped it on the floor. Y/N then left the room with Alexander. Because it wasn't the right time.

Jungkook was opening his eyes, his vision was blurry and Y/n didn't see him waking up. Jungkook's parents came in and they began to ask Jungkook, who did this to him. But Jungkook remained silent and his friends told them a fake story and told them not to worry and to go home. They assured them and send them back. On the other hand Y/N was with her friends, waiting for Jungkook's parents to go so she could meet him.

BACK TO ICU room

Doctor left after checking Jungkook.

Jungkook: Where is Y/N? *voice weak and hoarse. First thing he said after waking up.

Alexander: You can meet her later. We were also worried for you. Even Suga cried*making fun

Suga: Yah! I didn't. I didn't sleep that's why my eyes were teary. You should have seen your face*Jungkook smiled as they were bickering

Eun woo: You scared all of us to death.

Jimin: Can't you take care of yourself? Y/N can't afford to lose you. She was so scared. *Then Y/N came in and everybody left.

She was standing quietly near the door. The sight of him hooked up to monitors and IV lines, tugged at her emotions. A faint smile crossed his lips as he spoke.

Jungkook: Hey * he managed to whisper. She couldn't hold back the tears that welled up in her eyes. Moving closer, she gently took his hand in hers, mindful of the bandages and tubes.

Y/N: Hey yourself *she replied softly, her voice trembling with emotion.

Y/N: You had me so worried. *He squeezed her hand weakly, his gaze filled with gratitude and affection.

Jungkook: I'm sorry *he murmured, his voice barely audible.

Jungkook: But I'm okay now. Thanks for being here.*she brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, leaning down to kiss his cheek gently.

Jungkook: So you love me? *making eye contact

Y/N: Wh-ho said that? *her voice slightly shaky

Jungkook: You. Who was crying right now while holding my hand? *he was sure that he heard her even his eyes were closed.

Y/N: Me...hold your hand and cry, in your dreams. *trying her best not to confess

Jungkook: Then I think you left your bracelet here in my dream. *he has prove know she can't avoid but to confess her feelings.

Y/N: Okay fine. I admit. I am in love with this stupid. *a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

Y/N: Why you did that? *shaky voice

Jungkook: What have I done now? *worried.

Y/N: Why do you love me? *hearing this Jungkook immediately replied back.

Jungkook: I think I have already told you that I am gonna love you and protect you. *his tone wasn't harsh but he was irritated.

Y/N: But- *cut off

Jungkook: I know Y/N you don't want to lose me like V. But Y/N...I promise this will never happen again. You will never get through this again. Y/N just.. trust me. *trying to make her relax and not worry.

Y/N: But every time...*voice fading due to crying.....I see you like this, it tears me apart. My whole body trembles. *head down, couldn't stop crying hard. Jungkook wiped her tears.

Jungkook: If you keep crying like this way. You will be broke early my baby girl. *raised her head up, watching him with teary puffy eyes.

Y/N: But now I love you. I can't stop myself from crying. *Jungkook locked his hand with her.

Jungkook: That's the problem baby. You should love me less. *Y/N let go of his hand in shock.

Y/N: What.. are you saying, Jungkook? *Jungkook lowered his gaze.

Jungkook: The fight we are going to start to revenge for V, is reality. I don't want you to suffer too much later. You should be brave. Make this love of ours your power, not weakness. Otherwise, you will get hurt like before. *Y/N just nodded her head but she noticed that Jungkook's color was going pale.

Jungkook: Come close to me. *Y/N snapped out of her thoughts and she hugged Jungkook while he was still lying. They both closed their eyes, time stopped for a moment.

But then the machine started to make weird sounds, making Y/N step back. She saw Jungkook's eyes were closed, sweat all over his head and he placed his hand on his chest. His heart monitor beeped irregularly.

Y/N: Does it hurt here, Jungkook ah? *he just groaned in pain.

Y/N: I'm calling the doctor. *she immediately pressed the emergency button. Jungkook was not responding anymore. Tears again started to flow. Doctors came and Y/N was taken out of the room.

Y/N: What's wrong with him? Will he be okay? *The nurse didn't say anything and went inside. Everyone came from the canteen after seeing such chaos around Jungkook's room. They asked Y/N what happened.

Y/N: I don't know....He was tal-king to me and as-ked me to hu-g him. Then sud-denly, he started to g-roan in pain and the mac-hine started to bee-p. *Chaoyue hugged her.

Chaoyue: It's okay. It happens after a long surgery. *they all were watching from the window. After five minutes doctor came out.

Doctor: He had a heart attack.

Everyone: WHAT!!. * doctor smiled at them

Doctor: No need to worry it was minor.

Y/N: Then why he was feeling so much pain.

Doctor: His body is weak, that's why he wasn't able to bear it. I have given him sleeping pills. He's sleeping right now. You can rest asure.

Alexander: Thank you doctor. *doctor went away.

They all watched Jungkook sleeping peacefully from the window.

Jimin: Y/N you should go home. Your parents will be worried.

Y/N: They are not home.

Suga: But still you all need to take some rest. It would be best if you girls go now, it's already morning.

Eun woo: We will stay with Jungkook. Don't worry Y/N. You girls also need to go to university. And can you ask for our leave.

Hyje in: No problem we will take care of it. *girls went home while boys stayed.

Haje went to his boss after escaping from Jungkook. His boss had ordered him to kill Jungkook but he failed. His boss wanted Jungkook dead. So Haje promised his boss to kill Jungkook before he got discharged from the hospital. His boss gave him a last warning and if he failed this time his boss would kill him. That boss name is Dunge but his face is not revealed. Dunge wanted to get JY company. This company name was named after Jungkook and Y/N's names first letter. This company was started by Hyu bin and Seung won's friend Felix. But he died due to illness and he gave his company to them. So Hyu bin and Seung won contain 40% of the shares and the other 60% shares belong to Y/N and Jungkook. Dunge wanted to get 60% shares of Y/N and Jungkook because he thinks he can easily scare them.

After two days, Haje came to the hospital to kill Jungkook. It was early morning. Haje covered his face with a mask and came to Jungkook's room who was sleeping. Haje smoothly slid the knife on Jungkook's face, making sure he was sleeping. Then Haje said.

Haje: You look so great with your eyes closed. Let me close them forever. *with that he raised his hand and was about to stab Jungkook.

But he woke up and grabbed the knife. Haje still didn't give up and then Jungkook removed the mask from his face. He was shocked to see that he was Haje. Jungkook pushed Haje away and immediately removed the IV line from his hand. Haje fought back again but after seeing that he would not be able to kill Jungkook and he also saw his face, so he jumped from the window. Jungkook looked down the window watching Haje running away, but a car came and hit Haje. Jungkook can see that Haje is dead. Jungkook was feeling sorry for Haje, he never wanted to him to die in that way.

Now the actual game has already started. Even if they feel sorry for someone they have to kill them by themselves or let someone else do it. Now a bigger villain is rising for Jungkook and Y/N. Will they be able to deal with Dunge? And even if they deal with him. Will they will be able to fight with Hyu bin to get revenge for V? And what was that, Jungkook doing with Y/N but stopped after knowing she was V's girlfriend?
