Chapter Two: Her Blood

Fate: The power struggles

Park Bo-gum felt uneasy as he was walking out of the Hotel reception, he stood by the door fighting with his mind whether to follow the girl or not, he felt like he knew her from way back but couldn't pinpoint the exact place or time, everything was happening fast but he knew where his heart was at that moment.

Inside the hotel room, TJ was fighting to stay awake, she knew if she out then God knows what will happen to her life, her future, she needed to go back and that meant figuring out what was happening before it was too late, she checked her phone with half vision, she needed to call her grandma to inform her of what was happening, she tried to dial her number but her body gave up from the fever and the phone fell. Feeling like something was happening to his body Park Bo-gum knew at the back of his mind that TJ was not all right, he returned to the reception immediately 

             'The girl TJ could you give me her room key please'  he asked anxiously 

              ' I am sorry sir but I cannot do that ' the receptionist said 

              'Something bad might have happened to her at least check with her if she's all right' he said back 

              'I am sure she's all right, I mean she was cheerful a minute ago' the receptionist said without thinking, Park Bo-gum was worrying with every minute he needed to see her, make sure she was okay 

              'Goddamit can you just do your job, someone might be dying' he said banging the reception desk causing the receptionist to flinch, she immediately dialled TJ's room number but no one picked the call from her end, she gave the room service person the key to TJ's room, Park Bo-gum followed him with worry written all over his face, he was praying that's it just his bad instincts and she's all right. 

The room service person opened the door, Park Bo-gum pushed him aside entering the room, TJ was lying on the floor, her body freezing while she was sweating, Park Bo Gum picked her up and placed her on the bed 

                'Call an ambulance ' he said to the guy

meanwhile, he took a face towel, dampened it and placed it on her forehead, he did not know why he was worried about her but he knew she needed him at this point.

Jungkook was rushed through the hallway on a stretcher his body was unstable he looked like someone who was having a seizure, the nurses took him to a room preparing to attend to him.

Jungkook's hyungs were outside the hall worried, each one was pacing up and down with each nurse coming out of Jungkook's ward direction they would ask if he was all right. Inside the Emergency room, the nurses were trying to stabilize Jungkook who seemed to be passing out and coming back

                 'We need to stabilize him, his temperature is rising fast' the doctor said to the nurses, Jungkook was lying on the hospital bed his temperature was increasing by the minute while his body was showing no sign of blood

                  ' All the blood do not seem to match with his, even his blood type sample' one nurse said 

                  'Let us try again' the main doctor said

On the other side of the hospital Park Bo-gum sat beside TJ, he was holding her hand praying she will be all right, TJ was in her dreamland flashes of her scribbling something in her notepad kept coming, she was in a room trying to write something, on the wall was a poster for a scriptwriting competition, she tried to write something but her mind went blank and she slept.

TJ opened her eyes slowly, she saw Park Bo-gum seated by her side, she thought she was still asleep so she decided to pinch him 

                    'Auch' he was startled and woke up 

                    ' Are you okay, are you hurting?' he asked 

                    'I am okay do not worry, why are you here by the way ?' she asked 

                    'Who are you?' he asked instead of answering her question

                   'I am your fan' TJ said looking at him 

                    'Bull' Park Bo-gum said with a more serious tone 

                   'Why am I in such an expensive hospital?' she asked trying to avoid his questions, TJ felt a slight pain she started sweating again, voices in her head started increasing 

                  'I am sorry we do not have a match, at this point it might be too late for him' the voice said 

                  'It's your job to make him better, look for another match I am sure there's  someone in this hospital who is a match ' the second voice said, TJ could hear faint breathing she got up from the bed removed the Cannula on her hand 

                  'Where are you going?' Park Bo-gum asked surprised 

                   'He needs me' she said, Park Bo-gum did not know why the simple line 'he needs me' hurt him, his facial expression changed, he wanted to keep her even though he knew she needed to go but why? it was not even a day since they met and he felt protective of her. TJ walked out of the room still weak, she walked through the hallway to a private room, the doctor was talking to a gentleman, TJ interrupted their conversation 

                    ' he needs my blood' 

                   ' And who are you?' the gentleman asked 

                    'Do you want him to survive or not?'  she asked

                  'I will check your blood' the doctor said 

                 ' He won't last that long' TJ said 'transfer the blood from me to him directly that's the only way' she added 

                  'Look here girl I am not trying to be rude...'

                 'Listen to her and do it' Park Bo-gum interrupted 

The gentleman was still debating but TJ entered the room in the middle of their convo, Jungkook was lying on the bed his body pale, nurses were trying to keep his fever down by placing  ice packs on both sides of his body, a tear slipped from her left eye, she went to his side and knelt 

                  'Hey Jay' she said softly, he tried to open his eyes, a weak smile plastered on his face, he was happy to see her,  TJ held his hand and placed it on her cheek

                 'I am so sorry ' she said a tear slipping away again 

                 'Hey Love don't cry I am okay ' he smiled again, Park Bo-gum watched from the door frame 

                'A room is set, we can begin the transfusion ' the doctor said entering the room

                'Do you trust me?' she asked more like her eyes pleaded for him to trust her, Jungkook gave her a reassuring smile, she returned the same.

*******

Inside the transfusion ward, Jungkook laid next to TJ who was trying her best to be strong, her blood was being transfused directly to Jungkook who was now recovering, Park Bo-gum stayed outside worried, he was in pain but he tried not to show. The other BTS members joined him, they were worried about what was happening.

TJ smiled at Jungkook who seemed to have regained his strength, 

                    'What is so funny?' he asked curiously 

                    'I hope this is not a dream that I have to wake up from at some point' she said 

                    ' Do you want it to be real?' Jungkook asked looking directly at her, the doctor entered interrupting TJ who was about to answer 

                    ' I see you have fully recovered thanks to your guardian angel' he said to them, TJ smiled at Jungkook and held his hand 

                  'Now I took a leap of faith since he is family but do you mind telling me what is going on, your blood samples do not match not in the slightest and here he is fully recovered, what are you not telling? ' the doctor asked 

                  'I am sorry ' TJ said as that's the only word that made sense to her at the time 

                  'You are going to have to do better than sorry' RM interrupted 

                  'Hyung I am fine no need to question her plus she needs rest' Jungkook said, in his mind, he was praying they let it go, TJ could hear his thoughts, she was praying for the same

                'I am sure there was a misunderstanding the blood is a match' Park Bo-gum interrupted holding the blood sample tests, the doctor looked at the papers confused, he saw the papers clearly plus he was the one who did the test how comes it became a match after he left the lab?, his thoughts sounded crazy to him so he decided to let it go and walked out of the room, the members hugged Jungkook and for a moment TJ felt alone she did not have anyone to come to check up on her if she was okay, Park Bo-gum walked to her engulfing her into a hug, TJ hugged him back but her mind was on Jungkook, she was worried her flight was the next day, what if Jungkook's condition worsened while she was back in Kenya, she made up her mind on what to do. 

The guys were happy to see Jungkook up and running but the manager was not happy, he needed to keep the situation under control no matter what it took, he looked at TJ who looked a little weak

                    'Whatever that happened today was an accident but I think it is safe to say the situation is under control and its only family needed here now ' the gentleman from earlier said, TJ knew what that meant so she had to say goodbye to her short-lived dream 

                     'He might not need it but just to be safe let the doctor take my blood for safe keeping' TJ said trying to sound strong, Park Bo-gum knew her body wouldn't take it as she was already weak

                    'That is not happening and it's not up for discussion' he said 

                   'It's just a little blood, do not worry I will be okay, I promise ' TJ said assuring Park Bo-gum 

                  'Do you mind if I have a moment with Jungkook alone? ' TJ asked 

                  'So that he can start hearing voices again that won't happen' Taehyung said, he was worried for his little brother 

                  'Please' TJ pleaded 

                  'Hyung  she is not an alien don't worry' Jungkook assured Taehyung, they all left the room except Park Bo-gum he was still feeling uneasy, TJ smiled at him, he nodded and followed the others, Jungkook turned his full attention to TJ 

                   'Do you still hear the voices?' she asked 

                    'Not after I got your blood' Jungkook said, he was curious so he decided to ask her a question before she did    ' Is this a trick? ' he asked 

                     'What?' she asked back 

                      'The voices, your blood, I know it was not a match but  I am okay, Who are you?' Jungkook asked her 

                   'It is the same question I have been asking myself for the past God knows how long without getting an answer' TJ replied 

                  'Look I know I sound rude right now but I am just trying to get answers so that I can explain to my hyungs' he said, Jungkook was becoming suspicious he did feel like he had some affections towards her which made him want to protect her but he needed convincing  from TJ to make it all work 

                 'Listen I didn't mean to,  for the past three years nothing as this has happened, I do not remember parts of my life when I was nineteen, what I do remember is getting lost in a world of strangeness, my grandma taught me how to control it all, now I do not have answers for you but I can help with the voice while I go look for answers and hopefully I can get you out of this nightmare' she said, Jungkook felt bad for a moment for she wanted to help him get rid of the one thing that connected them but then again he had his own life and he needed to get back to it.

                   'Promise me you will be back at least to watch my concert' Jungkook said to her, TJ took time to answer as she wasn't sure if she wanted to involve him in this world she didn't understand herself, TJ smiled 

                     ' Only if I get a hug  '  she joked to him which was not a joke to her, she needed to feel his heartbeat just once, she knew she wouldn't be back and it was the only way to make him forget the promise, Jungkook engulfed her in a warm hug, TJ felt like crying, she controlled her tears from falling, she wanted Jungkook to remember her as just a fan but not some crazy person who brought unexplainable events to him 

                    'Be safe Jay, I love you ' She said to him, to TJ saying I love you was a common thing she would use the phrase whenever she felt like it but it did not hold a romantic meaning to it, Jungkook did not respond, TJ got out of the room without looking back, she went straight to the doctor leaving Jungkook's hyungs who went to his room.

Inside the ward, TJ was preparing to leave, the doctor was sceptical as she lost a lot of blood but the one thing which was on TJ's mind was getting home, the gentleman who at the time Tj understood as the manager to the boys come in, TJ did not let him utter a word as she knew what he was about to say 

                     'Do not worry I will not cause trouble again, you can barn me from all the concerts I wouldn't mind as I know the kind of problem I have caused, ' she paused then continued ' Jungkook will be all right, the blood will be enough to help his immune system recover from the shock ' she said she took the cannula from her hand and left the room. Park Bo-gum was waiting for her, she left with him as Jungkook watched them disappear from the hospital hallway.

******

Park Bo-gum had disguised himself, he didn't want to be caught but he needed to make sure TJ was okay so he accompanied her to the airport, TJ's flight was being announced for Departure and she knew the moment she steps on the plane it is over, TJ looked at Park Bo-gum who seemed a little disheartened, she understood what he was feeling, she went ahead and hugged him 

                        'Thank you for being an angel, I do not know how to thank you enough' she said to him

                        'How about we do not become strangers' he said his voice breaking 

                        'How can I forget my perfect stranger' she chuckled tears building in her eyes 'I am so lucky to have met such an amazing human being like you, I love you so much Charming, promise me you won't forget me even if it was a dream ' she said to him, Park Bo-gum's grip on her tightened, TJ did not want to say Goodbye but she needed to, she slowly got out of the hug and ran to the checking area without looking back. Park Bo-gum let out a loud sigh, he didn't know what was happening to him but he was already missing her. TJ made sure she was out of his sight then broke down, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, Park Bo-gum also felt pain on his side

                     'I am so sorry charming I hope you forget everything, you have an amazing life ahead of you, forget you ever met someone like me' TJ thought to herself, Park Bo-gum broke down hearing her words though it was in his mind.
