#my neurosurgeon's office called and canceled my appointment because he's now in surgery that day lol#and I'm not mad or anything because I know it's absolutely necessary#like I get it I certainly wouldn't want to be needing emergency neurosurgery and have the doctor not take me because he had appointments#but everything's fucked up now#they're offering me august 18th which is more than a week earlier than my original appointment#but my MRIs and CT scan haven't been approved by insurance yet#because the MRI place has been calling the wrong doctor for information lol#& I need to do the MRIs the day before the appointment bc I'm traveling 8+ hours to see him & I don't want to have to make the trip twice#he's like the specialist of specialists which is why I'm traveling that far#I know a lot of his patients come from a distance - the receptionist said I'm actually one of the closer ones#but anyway to do that means that all three tests need to be scheduled for the 17th#and this monday is the 16th#so now I need to see if the imaging centers have any openings for the 17th#and then if they do I need to see if the imaging centers can request for the MRIs to be rush approved#& if it somehow gets approved before the end of the work day on monday then my parents and I need to leave right then & drive to maryland#the reality is that I probably won't be able to see him the 18th because the MRIs really need to be done first#which really sucks because he doesn't have any openings for the following week & then the week after that my college starts back up#and between my schedule and the dr's schedule that means i'll have to miss one of my senior seminar classes which will mean that I'm already#off to a bad start#nevermind that my spine is killing me and the dr won't sign off on my physical therapy script until I have this appointment#it just sucks so bad#sorry ignore me this is long af I'm just upset#ari.txt

The Only Truth (Mafia! Jeon Jungkook)
Requested by @junglekookbook I'm pretty sure this is one of my best works. I have never concentrated so much on an imagine before. So Let's Get It?!
Summary: You thought your life was perfect with your prince charming by your side. But what do you do when you realize that the person you thought you loved, has too many skeletons in his closet?
Tumblr media
You rubbed your hands together to keep them warm, hissing as the cold wind fanned your face. The overcoat on your body wasn't enough to keep you warm. The weather report had predicted snowfall by the night. And even though you knew about it, you didn't take any precautions.
You continued to walk faster, motivating yourself by thinking about how warm your bed must be. It was already dark and there were barely any people on the streets. The streetlamps were flickering, making shivers run down your body. If this was a movie, then you'd probably be hearing footsteps behind you by now.
You could see your house in the distance, sighing in relief as you walked right past a dark alleyway. And that's when your feet stopped.
You could hear someone's groans, as if they were in pain. You turned your head to glance at the dark path, trying to come up with a decision. There were two options. Either you could play hero and check what was going on. Or you could go home and have a nice hot bath followed by a cup of hot chocolate.
As tempting the latter sounded, your morals wouldn't allow you to do that. You were a doctor after all. Taking in a deep breath, you courageously walked into the alley, praying under your breath for your safety. You reached the dead end, your eyes searching for the source of those noises you had heard.
And that's when you saw him.
Leaning against the wall with bruises and cuts littering his face. Your throat felt constricted when you saw the blood seeping through his white shirt underneath his jacket. His eyes were closed and all he could do was groan in pain.
You quickly rushed to kneel beside him, carefully shaking his shoulders to keep him conscious.
"Hey Mr. I need you to keep your eyes open, do you hear me? Stay with me until I get you some help, okay?" You said gently, your heart pounding in your chest. He seemed to be able to hear you for his eyes opened a little.
"Don't need....your help." His voice was a whisper but you heard what he said. In that moment, you wanted to scoff. Even when he was dying, he didn't need your help? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit.
With a shake of your head, you placed his arm across your shoulder, lifting him up with all your strength. He was way heavier than he looked. Thankfully, your house wasn't very far, you just needed him to stay conscious and carry some of his weight for you.
You were panting by the time you reached your house, your hands fumbling with the lock as the stranger leaned onto your small figure. You could feel his shallow breath on your neck while you unlocked the door and pushed it open. And as if on cue, he fell down on the floor, completely unconscious.
"Shit." You cursed and ran inside, lifting him by his shoulders, just enough to drag him to the couch. It was gonna be a long night.
💔💔
Your head hung low as you stared blankly at the floor of the grimy basement where you were being held captive. Dried tears stained your cheeks along with blood from the little cuts across your face. The pain in your thigh had subsided. Or maybe you just didn't care anymore. The scalpel which was dug deep into your thigh was glinting in the little light which came from the small bulb on the ceiling.
"Oh, looks like your dear boyfriend kept you in the dark all this time."
"He is a gangster. A gangster who I thought I killed about four months ago."
"Still willing to die for him, doll?"
Your kidnapper's voice kept replaying in your head. Your heart felt heavy and....broken.
The man you were so in love with, lied to you. He lied to you about who he was. He lied to you about everything.
That night in the alley. He hadn't been robbed. He had been beaten up by a mafia gang.
The nights when he didn't come home, he wasn't working. He was killing people and fixing deals.
The times when he came home with bruises on his face, he didn't walk into a pole. He was out on shootouts.
Your heartbeat fastened on hearing gunshots outside the room, knowing very well that he was here. The door to the basement opened and someone walked in with staggered footsteps. You didn't react when your hair was harshly pulled back and a metal was placed against the side of your head. More footsteps entered the room but you didn't look up, your eyes finding the floor very interesting. A sob threatened to escape your lips but you pursed your lips. You were afraid to look at him. Afraid that you'd forget and fall back into the web of lies that he had spun for you.
"Let her go and I won't kill you."
💔💔
You sat in your cabin, looking through the files of some patients. Your clinic had already closed but you were staying back. Mainly because you didn't want to go home yet. It was Saturday night and everyone was out partying. Too bad you didn't have any friends.
A knock on the door made you look up as you replied with a 'come in'. It was the new receptionist.
"Miss Y/L/N, there's someone here to see you. I told him you weren't seeing any patients now but he said he's your friend."
You frowned and tilted your head. Friend?
You nodded and told her to let him in. She left and a minute later, the door opened again as he stepped in.
Your breath hitched as he walked towards you with a small bouquet in his hands. The last time you saw him, he had disappeared without a word and you never heard from him again. It had been a month since that incident. You would be lying if you said you weren't hurt. You had treated him for three days at your house, only for him to disappear on you. You hadn't even gotten a chance to find out his name. So much for helping a stranger...
"You look a lot different than I last saw you." You stated, watching him as he shifted his weight from one leg to another. There were no more cuts on his face, not even scars. They were all gone. He curtly nodded and looked at you.
"I wanted to thank you for that. I owe you."
His voice was gentle but his expression was blank. At one point, it looked like he had no idea what he was doing. You smiled and glanced at the bouquet of orchids in his hand.
"Those for me?" You asked, nudging your chin towards the flowers in his hand. His eyes shot up to your face before glancing at the bouquet.
"Oh yeah." He handed it to you as you smiled and took in the scent. Orchids were your favourite. What a coincidence that he decided to get these for you. You didn't notice how his eyes were trained on your face, a soft smile spreading on his own as a result.
"And I also needed to apologize for... leaving without saying anything. So, I was wondering if you'd join me for dinner?" You looked at him to find him scratching the back of his neck. You bit your lip and glanced at the files. It's not like this was important anyway. Also, this man was extremely handsome and you knew you'd regret it if you didn't go. One dinner wouldn't hurt.
"I'd like that." You smiled, standing up and packing your things.
"My name's Y/N, by the way. I don't think you remember since you were pretty much out of it." You stated, taking your purse from under the desk as you recalled how he was barely awake when you had kept him at your house.
"I remember....how can I forget?" You failed to hear the last part as you turned off the computer on your desk and got ready to leave.
"And what do I call you?"
"Jungkook. Jeon Jungkook."
💔💔
You flinched a little on hearing another gunshot followed by a heavy thud from behind you. Your kidnapper was dead. You could tell.
You closed your eyes and continued to keep your head down, a low whimper escaping your lips. Your head was spinning and you couldn't breathe anymore.
You felt a hand on your thigh and you sharply inhaled on feeling the scalpel move.
"This'll hurt a little."
You heard his voice and rage filled you. You didn't want him near you. Your chest rose and fell rapidly, indicating that your breathing was becoming very erratic. Suddenly, the scalpel was pulled out followed by pressure being applied to your wound. You could feel the tightness of whatever was being wrapped around your thigh, the pain making it harder for you to stay awake.
You slowly opened your eyes, seeing him taking off the ropes from around you. You leaned back on the chair, feeling your eyes getting heavier.
"No, Y/N. Stay with me, please. Don't you dare close your eyes. Do you hear me?" Jungkook said, cupping your cheeks. You mumbled something as your body fell limp. Jungkook placed his ear next to your mouth to hear what you were trying to say.
"Liar..."
💔💔
You sat beside Jungkook on the sand, watching in content as the waves crashed against the shore. The sun was setting, colouring the sky in beautiful colours. The single orchid in your hand swayed with the wind, your hair getting tangled behind you.
A sudden tap on your shoulder made you turn your head, your lips forming into a smile on seeing a little girl standing in front of you with a shy smile.
"Hi there, darling! How can I help you?" You asked sweetly. Jungkook sat quietly and watched the whole exchange, wondering how you were so nice to everyone.
"I just wanted to tell you that you're really pretty..."
You chuckled and leaned forward, holding her small hands in yours. "Maybe I am. But certainly not as pretty as you." You said, handing the orchid to her. She grinned and mumbled a thank you before gently kissing your cheek and running away.
You laughed and turned back to find Jungkook staring at you with a fond smile.
"What?" You asked, tucking your hair behind your ear. Jungkook lightly shook his head and sat up straighter, focusing all his attention on you.
"You really are pretty..."
You blushed as your heart did a little flip, biting your lip in nervousness on seeing Jungkook lean closer to you.
It had been a couple of weeks since you started going out with Jungkook. He never said anything about dates, avoiding all your questions by saying,
'I like your company.'
But you couldn't deny the fact that you had grown to like him. Though you still didn't know a lot about him, you liked him. Because he made you feel like you were special.
He glanced at your lips, moving closer until your nose brushed against his. He gently placed a hand on your cheek as you closed your eyes, his lips pressing against yours.
It was gentle. As gentle as a feather. His lips were soft and you felt like you were on cloud nine. His hand moved to the back of your neck, pushing you closer against him. Hesitantly, you tangled your fingers in his hair on feeling him deepening the kiss. It was so passionate that you couldn't help but feel light headed.
You both pulled away, gasping for air, your forehead leaning against his.
"What are you doing to me, Y/N Y/L/N?"
💔💔
You opened your eyes, wincing on feeling the throbbing in your head. With a lot of struggle, you placed a hand on your forehead, feeling the smooth surface of a bandaid beneath your fingers. You frowned slightly and let your mind wander to your last memory before you blacked out. Everything came crashing down on you like a brick wall. The lies. The kidnapping. The torture. Jeon Jungkook.
Immediately tears filled your eyes and you sat up, finding it difficult to breath.
Your heart hurt, it felt like someone was trying to rip it out of your chest. The only man who you had come to love, lied to you. He made a fool out of your feelings. He fed you lies upon lies until someone else spilled out his secrets.
Too busy dealing with your emotions, you didn't notice the bedroom door opening.
Jungkook entered the room in which you lay unconscious, sighing in relief on seeing that you were now awake. He wanted to run to you and hide you in his arms. He wanted to kiss you and ask you if you were okay. He wanted to tell you how grateful he was that you were alive.
But he couldn't.
Not after seeing the tears running down your face. Not after seeing the way your eyes widened when you spotted him.
You pushed yourself against the headboard, ignoring the bouts of pain that covered every inch of your body. Jungkook's heart broke on seeing you like that. He knew that you were aware of the truth. He knew that there was probably no chance of you forgiving him. But he had to try. He had to try because it was you. It was always gonna be you.
With cautious steps, he approached you, placing his hands up as if to surrender.
"I'm not here to hurt you, my love."
You furiously shook your head and pulled the thin blanket, clenching the soft material in your hands. Your lips quivered as you tried to say something.
"I-I don't wanna talk to y-you." You stammered, looking at him with all the hatred you could gather. Jungkook wanted to shoot himself on the spot. He knew he shouldn't have hid anything from you.
"Y/N, I had to do it. Please just let me explain." He begged, his eyes displaying all the sorrow that his heart was drowning in. You shook your head again, clearly showing him that he couldn't change your mind.
"You lied to me. You're a liar. This whole relationship was a lie. You never loved me. You never cared. I don't know why you did this but I don't think I wanna know anymore. Just leave me alone."
Jungkook's knees gave out and he fell to the ground, clasping his hands in front of him as if to pray. He was begging you. On his knees.
"That's not true. Just tell me this, would you have loved me back if I told you what I did? Would you have even let me take you out if I told you who I really was?" He asked, trying hard not to cry. But he couldn't hold it in. He was so close to losing the love of his life. He probably already lost you.
"Maybe I would have! Maybe I wouldn't. That gives you no right to lie to me. You played me, Jungkook. You fucking played with my feelings. I fell for a man who doesn't exist. What should I do with this revelation?!" You spat, pointing your finger at him. In that moment, Jungkook couldn't tell if he still had any hope left or not. He wasn't sure what would make you stay. He wasn't sure if that was even an option for you anymore. He knew he did wrong. But that was the only way to make you love a monster like him.
"I didn't play you, Y/N. I hid the truth from you. Please, I just need one chance to prove how much I care. I'll leave all this. We can go somewhere far away from here and start afresh. Just, please, don't leave me." Jungkook cried, hanging his head low in shame.
You were surprised to see him crying. He had never ever cried in front of you. And the sight broke you. You wanted to forgive him. You really did. Because you loved him a lot. He was a big part of your life now and you didn't want to let go.
"Tell me one thing that was true. Give me one good reason to stay." You said, your voice holding a certain level of coldness to it. You were slipping away from him and Jungkook could feel it.
He fell silent for a minute, processing his next words very carefully. He couldn't lose you. Not now. Not ever.
You smiled bitterly, nodding to yourself. This was it then. Everything was-
"I love you. And I always meant it."
Jungkook looked at you with hopeful eyes, watching your gaze soften. You melted. You knew you did. You were a goner for him. You were so in love with him that you would have hated yourself for not forgiving him. What had he done to you?
"I just need you to be happy. Whether it's with me or away from me. Although I'd like it if it's with me..."
You sniffled, looking at the floor. Wiping away a tear that trailed down your cheek, you cleared your throat and locked eyes with him.
"If something ever happens to-"
"I'll never let anyone hurt you again. I promise."
You smiled softly, shaking your head at how determined he sounded.
"I was gonna say if something ever happened to you, I'm not sure I'll be okay with losing you like that."
Jungkook's breath hitched, his feet pushing him to stand up. He took one long step towards you, caressing your cheek with his rough fingers before kissing you. Even after doing this for three months, you hadn't gotten used to it. His kisses always felt new and they took your breath away.
"You're my home. I'll always come back to you."
You smiled against his lips, his words making you feel warm and fuzzy.
It was true. You were his home and he was yours. No matter how many times you doubted your love, the feeling of being home would always overcome it. Cause that's what you do. You always come back home.
