sitting so close to Namjoon. But yet, I knew
he trusted me and knew where my heart was. He had nothing to worry about.

Namjoon's POV

He had come too. I should have figured he wouldn't let Y/N out of his sight after what happened. And if what Y/N had told me before was true and he really loved her...
Which, by the way he came in and stood possessively by her, made that very believable.

He probably hated me even more after this whole shit show. The fact that she was taken all because I let my anger get the best of me. I hated myself for letting something and someone control me to the point that I ended up hurting the person I cared for deeply.
I didn't know what it was, Jeon Jungkook just always seemed to bring out the worst in me. I'm not sure if it was the way he was always in control, or how he always was so smug, or if it was just from jealousy. I mean, he did have it all, and now he possessed the greatest gift of all.

Y/N.

"I should have guessed you'd be here." I spoke frankly.

There wasn't any bite to my words though. They were just simply stated. I looked over and found that both of them had rings on their wedding fingers.

"So is it official this time?"

I questioned, feeling my ribs and jaw hurt with every word. I tried my best to ignore it though. Soon I'd be getting more pain medication to help take the edge off.

I watched as Y/N's cheek tinted a rosy pink color and she touched her ring.

"Yes. Finally." A smiled formed on her lips.

"I wanted to make sure you were doing okay. You did try to save me from that man."

I didn't save her. I just got what I deserved.

"Y/N-"

I stopped instantly once I saw the man I despised reach out his hand towards me. I froze and didn't know what to say or think. His actions said one thing, while his face showed his hesitation.

"I might not like you Kim, but I won't deny that you tried to save her. For that, I will put my pride aside and thank
you."

He held his hand close enough to my own so that I didn't need to move much. I hesitated myself at first, still at a loss for words at his gesture. Was this guy for real? Was he actually a decent guy and not the monster I believed him to be? No wonder Y/N fell for him.

I decided to try and be a decent person back. It wouldn't hurt anything at this point. I slowly took his hand, shook it, and let go.
Jungkook's face still showed that he didn't enjoy the interaction, but the feeling was mutual.

The smile on Y/N's face at the site was more than worth it in the end.

Jungkook's POV :

At first I was regretful at being the bigger person with Kim. That changed quickly once we left his room and Y/N kissed me and whispered something about 'being proud of me' and 'thanking me later.' I guess I wasn't too regretful after all.

Ahem.

While we were here and at the hospital I decided that maybe Y/N would like to make one more stop. Especially since she kept hesitating and looking towards the elevators instead of the exit. With everything that just happened I'm sure she just wanted to check on Lily and Luke and make sure they were okay as well. No harm in that.

"Want to go visit them?" I asked her. She looked at me with delight yet hesitation.

"Well, I know you already don't want to be here... but, you don't mind?" she quickly changed it. I chuckled lightly.

"Let's go see them. I don't mind checking in on them myself."

Y/N's face brightened up with joy and it felt good knowing I put it there. I was capable of making her happy even if I had my doubts sometimes.

We walked over and took the elevator up to the third floor. Once it reached the floor it dinged and opened it's doors. We walked out and headed towards the hall where the burn unit was. A few children ran by with bandages. Y/N's eyes searched through all that passed us and soon, even I was starting to get confused as to why we hadn't seen or heard Lily's voice.

"Mr and Mrs Jeon?" a voice spoke and we looked up to see one of the nurses we took with us to the zoo.

"What brings you both up here?"

"We were just wanting to see Lily and Luke, that's all."

Y/N replied. The nurse's smile faded and her eyes looked saddened. I took Y/N's hand in preparation.

"I'm sorry, they aren't here anymore. They come for treatment, but they both have been placed into foster care. Their burns were at a stable level so they didn't need to stay here around the clock."

"What?"

Y/N's words faded. I could hear the disbelief and sadness in her voice. I found myself surprised to feel a tug in my own chest at the news.
I had never been one for kids, but I know that those two seemed to find a way into my life.

"Do you have contact with the Foster Care home they stay in?" I asked. She nodded.

"Yes, they do still come for treatments, so their foster parent brings them in once a week." she knew as well as I did just how much Y/N doted on those two each time she was here.

"I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news."

Y/N just nodded and didn't say another word. I didn't let go of her hand.

"Thank you." I told the nurse and followed Lee back to the elevator.

Once inside and the doors shut, I didn't say anything. I just squeezed her hand. Looking over at her I saw her face held a blank stare. A single tear slid down her cheek and I knew she was trying her best to keep herself together while we were in public.
As soon as the door opened for us, I walked out before she did and pulled her towards an empty room. Y/N has been through too much and I knew she was still struggling emotionally with everything. Understandably.

"What-"

Y/N started to ask as I pulled her into the room and swiftly shut the door once we were inside. I let go of her hand and locked the door.

"What are you doing Jungkook?" she tried again.

"Giving you a few minutes to cry, if that's what you need."

Her grey orbs became surrounded by mist and I nodded at her. I turned so that my back was to her, giving her more privacy.
It only took a few seconds for the sound of her sobs to fill my ears. No matter how many times I've heard that, it still made my heart sink, made my eyes wet. She didn't deserve to be so sad. Within a moment I suddenly felt her warm body press up against my back. Her fists grabbed the back of my shirt and her forehead against my spine.

A few minutes went by and her sobs started to slow down. Y/N took a few deep breaths then slowly pulled away.

I turned to look over my shoulder at her. She sniffed and wiped her eyes the best she could.

"Thank you Jungkook."

"You alright?"

She nodded.

"I will be. I just need to collect myself. Took bad I can't fix my Rudolph nose."
She pointed to her reddened nose.

I went over and kissed her forehead and held out my hand.

"Come Lee, we have some things to sort out."
