Still With You ?

22

Jungkook’s breath hitched—he immediately recognized that voice. His heart pounded.

"N-No… n-noona?" Jungkook whispered, his breathing becoming erratic.

He turned his head toward the direction of the voice, his eyes wide with shock.

There she was—his noona, his Haein Noona

His noona whom he had missed unconditionally. His noona whose hugs and warmth he had craved for so long.

Even though she was standing right in front of him, he couldn’t run into her arms and cry his heart out.

Haein looked at him, her eyes teary, but she quickly turned away.

Jungkook kept staring at her, his body trembling. His breathing grew unsteady. Everyone in the room noticed it.

Jin’s worry spiked.

"Kookie, look at me, baby. Take deep breaths. Nothing will happen. Just breathe, okay?" Jin's soft voice calmed him slightly.

"What are you looking at? Go and treat him," Haein said sternly to the doctor.

"Y-Yes, ma’am, b-but only one person can stay. The rest should leave," the doctor said hesitantly.

"I will stay. You all go out," Hyunwoo said firmly.

Tae nodded and walked out without protest. Haein also left.

Jin hesitated. He turned to Hyunwoo.

"Uncle… he will be fine, right?" Jin asked, his voice full of concern.

Hyunwoo patted Jin’s shoulder reassuringly.

"He will be. Go take care of Tae. Make him sleep—he’s really scared," Hyunwoo said.

Jin nodded but looked at Jungkook one last time. Jungkook was breathing heavily and staring blankly at the wall.

Jin sighed before walking out.

Once everyone had left, Hyunwoo sighed and looked at Jungkook.

"K-Kookie, I—"

He was cut off when Jungkook suddenly yelled, his voice laced with anger and pain.

"Why the hell is she here??"

Jungkook's breathing turned ragged. His hands clenched into fists.

His eyes burned with a mix of confusion, anger, and something deeper—something broken.

"Kook, calm down first," Hyunwoo said, rubbing Jungkook’s chest.

"Ahh! Wae?? Why the fuck is she here? Did you bring her to make me more miserable?" Jungkook asked, his voice filled with hurt.

Hyunwoo shook his head, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

"Then why?? Did he ask you to make me suffer by seeing her?" Jungkook demanded.

Hyunwoo shook his head again and held Jungkook's hand.

"Kook, you’re not in your senses right now. Please, calm down. You’ll only make your headache and fever worse. Please," Hyunwoo pleaded.

"I asked why she is here?" Jungkook insisted stubbornly.

"I brought her. Nothing else. Now, let the doctor treat you," Hyunwoo said firmly.

Jungkook looked at him with a betrayed expression. He yanked his hand away from Hyunwoo’s grasp.

"Why don’t you just kill me?" Jungkook said bitterly.

And the next moment—slap!

Hyunwoo had slapped him.

"Don’t speak nonsense, Kook. Just shut your mouth and listen. You are not in your right senses. Let the doctor treat you first. Please cooperate, Kook," Hyunwoo said, his voice now pleading.

Jungkook didn’t react. He just lay there silently.

Meanwhile, the doctor watched everything with confused eyes. He didn’t understand a single word they had spoken, as they were conversing in Italian.

"Treat him," Hyunwoo finally said to the doctor.

The doctor nodded and began checking Jungkook.

Hyunwoo stayed beside him, watching with tear-filled eyes.

Before Jin called Hyunwoo.

Hyunwoo was waiting outside the Queen's building. Soon, he saw Haein approaching. He smiled and got out of the car, opening his arms. Haein hugged him tightly.

"Missed you a lot, Uncle," Haein said.

"Missed you too, Haein-ah," Hyunwoo replied, patting her head affectionately.

"Shall we go?" Hyunwoo asked.

Haein smiled and nodded. They got into the car, and Hyunwoo started driving.

"How are things going, Haein-ah?" Hyunwoo asked.

"As usual, Uncle. Everything is under his control, but I’m glad that I’m here now," Haein said with a slight smile.

Hyunwoo hummed in agreement. "I’m happy you’re here. Eunwoo won’t be alone anymore."

"Yes, I’m glad he’s happy," Haein said with a smile.

"When I called him, he said he was so happy, practically on cloud nine," Hyunwoo said, chuckling.

Haein chuckled along. "Nae."

"He missed you a lot," Hyunwoo added.

Haein hummed softly. "How is Kookie?" she asked.

Hyunwoo sighed deeply. "I don’t know what to do with him. He never listens to me, always locks himself in his room. He isn’t even speaking to anyone. To be honest, I haven’t seen his real smile since the incident."

Haein gritted her teeth in anger. "I’ll never forgive you for doing this to my Kookie, Kim," she thought to herself.

"I’m just glad he’s finally with his hyungs," Hyunwoo continued.

"Huh, hyungs? His biological hyung?" Haein asked curiously.

"Nae. They take good care of him. Kook is their world. Jin will always protect him, but I’m scared for him," Hyunwoo admitted.

"Why?" Haein asked.

"You don’t know Jin. If he ever finds out what Kim did to Kookie, he’ll literally kill Kim with his own hands. He’ll go to any lengths if he hears the word brothers again," Hyunwoo explained.

Haein scoffed. "Then why the fuck did he let Kookie stay with that monster, huh?"

Hyunwoo sighed deeply. "You don’t even know what Jin did that day... Forget it," he said, focusing on driving.

"I will never forgive anyone for doing that to my kook," Haein thought fiercely.

Just then, Hyunwoo got a call from Jin. He connected it to Bluetooth, and Haein listened to the conversation. She became very worried as she heard the panic in Jin’s voice.

"Do you want to see Kookie?" Hyunwoo asked after the call ended.

Haein nodded with hesitation.
