Young Eun's POV
"Is he okay?"
I fiddled with my fingers anxiously as soon as the doctor walked out.

He nodded with a small smile, reassuring me.
"He's okay, he just needs to stay at the hospital for a day or two. Don't worry"

I quickly thanked the doctor and rushed into Daehwi's room. He was lying on the bed, still unconscious. I sat down on the side of the bed and took his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers as I gulped slowly.

"How old are you? You can't even cross the road? Look what you got yourself into"
I hit his chest gently as my heart-ached seeing him in this state.

I decided to head down to the hospital's cafeteria to get some bread and water while waiting for Daehwi to regain his conscious. As I was paying for the bread, a thought crossed through my mind.

who exactly hit him? and how can the driver just run over him and run away?

That was when I realised, the black van seemed familiar, it's like I've seen it before but I can't really put a finger on it.

I quickly ran back up to Daehwi's room and placed the food on the table beside the bed. After leaving a small note beside him, I got into a taxi and asked the driver to take me to the nearest police station.

Jungkook's POV
"Is this really appropriate?"
Taehyung questioned, wearing a concerned look on his face that was covered with a black mask.

I kept quiet.

"Jungkook, I think you're going overboard. What will happen if he dies? Are you going to be responsible if the police catches us?"
Jin, who was at the driver's seat asked. I could see that all of them were not at ease but I remained silent anyways because I know what I did— or what I told Jin to do was unforgivable.

Namjoon then spoke up,
"Let's go home. We'll discuss about this later when Kook comes back to his senses"

I rested my head against the window, deep in my thoughts as I felt everyone's intense glare on me. Especially for Taehyung since I know that he's probably super disappointed in me.

But I couldn't help it. At first, I kept my distance from Young Eun.  After getting to know more about her, I got so attached to her that I just can't keep my hands to myself. Even if I told her to act like we're strangers, it makes me so frustrated everytime I see her and I definitely hate it when she smiles at Daehwi.

and that's why I wanted to ruin him.

Young Eun's POV
"Can I please, pretty please check the surveillance camera outside the cafe? It's really important."
I begged for the fifth time since the police officers didn't allow me to look at the cameras around the cafe me and Daehwi went.

"It'll only take a minute, I swear"
I said desperately.

"No can do, ma'am. It's against the rules."
He replied sternly with an attitude as I scoffed.

So I failed to check the cameras, what now?

I decided to head back to the hospital to check on Daehwi. Maybe I'll find the black van later. Maybe now is not the time.

"Young..Eun?" A familiar voice called out my name.

I turned to see Daehwi's eyelids, slowly fluttering open as he took a deep breath. I quickly took his hand into mine and caressed it.

Daehwi's POV
"Are you awake? How do you feel? Does your head hurt? I bought some bread and—"

Before she could finish her sentence, I pulled her into my embrace and hugged her tightly, burying my face into the crook of her neck.

She tugged onto my arms,
"Daehwi? W-What's wrong? Are you not feeling well or something? I'll go get the doctor, hold on."

She wriggled out from my embrace but I held her wrist tightly and smiled.
"I'm fine. Just stay"
I huffed out.

She slowly sat down on the side of my bed and held my hands with a worried expression but I reassured her, telling her that I was just scared.

Flashback
After saying goodbye to Young Eun, I smiled and crossed the road. I turned back again to see her waving at me.

Just when I knew it, I felt my body flying into the air and landing onto the ground again. It was painful.

It was a black van that ran over me. I couldn't see the driver but when the van took off, I saw a familiar face, staring at me in horror. He was sitting at the backseat of the van by the window.

Jungkook
