HS : (-over the call-) Hello? Oh, yes speaking. (-slight pause-) Alright, I'll be there shortly. (-hungs up-)

JM : What is it, hyung?

HS : It was from the hospital. I need to go. They urgently want me there.

ME : Oh, then you should get going.

HS : I might not be able to go to the agency with you all. Inform me what Pd-nim says.

ME : (-nodding-) Yes, don't worry.

HS : (-patting my arm-) Take care.

JHOPE's POV

Reaching the hospital, I quickly went to her room first.

My worried face lit up with a smile creeping up on my lips as I opened the door. She was seated on the bed inclining to it while smiling to her students who came to visit her.

She is a Dance Teacher and had students of age 5- 18 year olds. They were all crowding in her room. But, she still had her brightest smile seeing them.

As her eyes casually fell on me she passed on a sweet smile and the youngest student sitting on her lap kissied on her cheek making her chuckle and look at him.

She started tickling him and that made me chuckle lightly. Seeing her happy around them brought my heart at ease.

I thought to leave them alone and closed the door to meet the doctor.

~At his cabin~

ME : Yes, doctor. Is something wrong?

DOCTOR : The allergy Ms. Susan has, comes under the category of food allergy. As I said earlier, her allergy has gone wild now. If we don't start the appropriate treatment right away, it can make her body resistant to any kind of food. Her body will reject just anything she eats and can lead to the most severe allergic reaction called "anaphylaxis", which can be life threatening.

ME : (-nervously-) Then, please start the treatment as soon as possible.

DOCTOR : There are other fronts to take into consideration before we do that. The treatment will durate four months at the least. And the medicines are not quite healthy for her organs. They will have side effects which might be severe as well. We'll have to be very careful. In this, there is no coming back or hundred percent recovery; it is only preventing the allergy to be fatal and be cautious in future.

I couldn't think straight anymore. She looked just fine but she wasn't at all.

DOCTOR : She has to be in complete bed rest. She will feel, she can do stuffs on her own and move around but you have to stop her. She needs to be very heedful spending her energy, as we have to be careful with her food intake and the amount as well. There is risk both ways since we don't know how her body will react. Take your time, and tell us your final decision.

Either ways, her condition was insubstantial but I couldn't be taking the riskier path of not having the treatment start. So, I boldly asked him to start the treatment right away though I was not completely certain if my decision was okay for her.

Returning to her room I saw her bading goodbyes to her students. I waited at the door for them to leave.

SUSAN : Be careful, and elders take care of your young ones. (-waving with a smile-)

STUDENTS : Okay... You too, take care and get well soon.

She smiled as they all left. I, closing the door put on a fake smile and went to her.

SUSAN : Oppa, when will they discharge me? I am dying to join their classes again.

ME : (-smile fades and takes her hand-) Sanie-ah. (-slight pause-) You believe in me?

SUSAN : Of course, I do.

ME : So, will you do as I ask you to?

SUSAN : (-gets serious-) Is something wrong, Oppa?

ME : (-shakes head-) It's to make things right. Just do as I say.

" I can't afford losing you..."

ME : Doctors say, they have to start your treatment. It will take a little time, but you'll get better.

SUSAN : But, I am better. I am perfectly okay.

ME : I know you are. (-small smile-) I just don't want to leave any nooks or crannies. It's best for you to have the treatment. In 4 months, you'll be all good.

Sanie withdrew her hand from mine and looked upset.

SUSAN : Am I severely sick?

ME : No, you are not. Please, listen to my words and take it for me. Onh? (-getting teary-) I can't see you like this. Please, San-ah.

SUSAN : (-looking at me-) Oppa please don't cry. (-making her decision in a while-) I'll have the treatment and do as you say, I promise. (-smiles-) I am just so lucky that you care for me so much.

ME : Thank you, SuSan.

SUSAN : (-smiles again and tries to change the topic-) You went to the dorms, right? How is it there?

ME : (-nods-) They'll talk to Bang PD-nim. Let's see what he says. Oh wait, lemme call them.

She nodded as I took out my phone to dail Jungkook's number and waited till he received.

JUNGKOOK's POV

After Hobi hyung left, we returned to our respective rooms and changed to leave for the agency.

Reaching there, we went straight to Pd-nim's office.

PD : I was about to call you anyways. It's good that you're here on your own. What is wrong with you guys?

We had our heads down.

PD : I can't understand. What on earth happened that Namjoon refused to even have a meeting with you all together?

JM : NamJoon hyung called you?

PD : I did to discuss about the new album. But, he says he doesn't want to work like this. Also, that Yoongi left too? (-works up-) Who was the reason behind it all?

I was about to confess but Jimin hyung stopped me by lying to him.

JM : We just had a small disagreement but Yoongi hyung got too worked up and left.

PD : (-losing it-) What?! I mean, do you guys even see where you are now at? Do you find BTS as a joke? Look down and see how high you've climbed. You cannot just afford to be doing this. You need to maintain and take the heaviness now that you made it here. You go higher, it gets heavier. You can't break then. You have to bear through it with your unity. Understood?

We obediently nodded agreeing with him.

PD : What about Jin and Hoseok? Where are they?

TH : Hobi hyung is at the hospital looking after Susan Noona. She is unwell.

PD : And what about Jin?

Taehyung hyung fell silent at that, and Jimin hyung continued.

JM : He left Korea today morning.

PD : JUST WHAT?! Where to?

JM : We don't know that yet.

PD-nim could no longer filter his exasperation and genuine disappointment.

PD : What is-... what do you expect me to do now?? I have millions of other works piled up. TXT also needs attention and we need to center towards them to bring those boys up and get them in the field. And here you are doing just whatever the shit you are doing.

With each passing day and second, I was drowning deeper into the sea of guilt-knowing how I ruined our nine years of togetherness in just a blink.

PD : (-controlling himself-) Alright, I will have the last suggestion for you guys.

We waited to know what it was.

PD : You . . .

What solution does he give?
Will they disband?
