Chapter 17


Jin's POV

I instantly woke up when I smelled something foul. Groaning, I looked around the room to find if anything was out of place, but I only saw V by my bedside. Cautiously, I took a sniff of V's hair and instantly closed my mouth to stop myself of gagging.

"When was the last time you took a shower?" I pinched my nose as I inspected his face. He only gave me a small smile and scratched the back of his head.

"Using the bathroom can be really troublesome when that girl is around. So I choose not to," He stood up and walked to the end of the room, sitting down by the table there.

"So, do you need anything?" He twirled the pen in his hand while he flipped through his notebook with the other. I scanned the room, until my eyes finally landed on him.

"Actually, there is. I need you to go take a shower," I glared at him.

"Sorry hyung, can't help you with that. The girl is still in here and who knows for how long," He shrugged and started writing on the notebook. "But I will ask her to buy some toiletries,"

I stared at him while he writes down his list, stopping once in a while to think. Seems like the perfect time to plan my escape.

"Tae. By any chance, do you have a phone?" He shook his head. "There's only one communication device and it's in the main bedroom."

"How about some batteries?" Again, I was disappointed when he shook his head. I cursed under my breath. Those kids were better than I thought. There's no way I could ask for any of those two without rising any suspicions. I guess I have to get out of here on my own, without their help.

"Why do you even need those?" V asked me innocently. I couldn't risk telling him, there might even be a hidden camera in here.

"Oh nevermind. It wasn't anything important anyways." Taehyung just nodded and continued writing. Sighing, I scanned the room again and this time I notice a window at the far end of the room.

Casually, I walked in the general direction of the window and acted like I was bored. V didn't seem to notice me, and I went to look out the window. Looking down, I gritted my teeth and clenched my fist.

We were on the second floor. Not a big deal, but the rose bush down there might be a problem. I shivered at the thought of those thorns piercing through my skin. Taehyung noticed me at the window and let out a chuckle.

"I've once jumped through that window. Got a nasty scar to prove it," Taehyung showed a dark and long scar along his left arm. "And let me tell you, I wouldn't want to experience sleeping in roses again," he laughed at his own joke.  My face paled when he said that. How was I supposed to escape like this?

"By the way hyung, the front door is your best shot," he gave me a small smile. I raised an eyebrow at him, watching him as he returned his focus to the notebook. "What do you mean?" I asked cautiously.

"I want the exact same thing as you. To escape this place. That psycho Cat is getting on my nerve," he smirked and said, "so I'm adding floss and a wristwatch then?"

"Umm, sure"



Krista's POV

"Are the documents ready yet? We have to leave soon," I let out a frustrated sigh. The tapping of keyboards were heard as Levi tried his best to get my demand ready. "It'll be done in a few minutes. Why don't you take a rest in the meantime?" Levi replied. I groaned but landed on the soft makeshift bed anyway. We have been working nonstop to ensure Jhope's and Rachel's safety, but looks like we failed.

I was about to get some shut eye, when I felt some hot papers on my cheek. Lazily, I stared at Levi as he held out a bundle of papers towards me. "Just what you wanted," he meant the papers of course. I took the paper and scanned them quickly. Finally, I cracked a weak smile at him when I saw we had all that we need.

"I would expect the best from you. Now let's get going," I was off the bed in no time.

"How can I help you?" the receptionist asked me.

"I'm here to see J- I mean Mr Seokho Jeon," I gulped and bit my lower lip. Her fingers typed on the computer, scanning the computer before shaking her head. I mentally face palmed myself. I showed her Jhope's ID card and she instantly replied, "Oh, the recent accident?" I nodded my head. "May I ask your relationship with Mister Seokha?"

"I'm his younger sister," I gave her a sweet smile. She eyed me closely, her eyebrows knitted in suspicion. Again with the mental face palm. I knew I should have thought of something better. She shrugged her shoulders and ignored the fact we looked nothing alike. "He's currently in the ICU. Ask the nurse in charge for details." I thanked her and quickly pulled Levi's hand towards the ICU.

After talking to the nurse and getting the directions, we finally reached Jhope's room. Taking a deep breathe, I slowly turned the doorknob. "Jhope?" I peeked my head slowly into the room and let out a gasp. I covered my mouth with my hand while Levi just patted my shoulder. There was Jhope, lying on the hospital bed all bandaged and his arm connected to all sort of machines. His wounds were still bleeding a little, since the bandages had a few small blood stains on them which somehow made me queasy.

"How are we supposed to take him out, and unnoticed?" I asked Levi while he paced around the room thinking of a plan. Levi was about to open his mouth when we heard a croaked voice.

"Who are you two?"

We both turned around to see Jhope sitting on his bed. He was rubbing his eyes and tried focusing at us with squinted eyes. I bit my fingers and looked at Levi for an answer, but sadly he looked just as worried as I am

"Umm. We had dinner together, remember?" I had my fingers crossed. I could see Levi shaking his head at my lame answer. Fortunately, Jhope seems to lit up when I said that. He had a big smile on his face.

"Oh. Army?" I was dumfounded for a moment before I finally realized he was talking about Rachel. Now Levi was trying to hold his laughter and failing miserably. Jhope now had this smirk on his face while he looked at me, clearly not able to see properly yet.

"You have a crush on me, don't you? That's why you keep coming back to me," he pointed at me smugly. Levi was practically rolling on the floor by now. I however, had my face flushed red and cleared my throat. That wasn't exactly a lie, since I do like BTS and every single member. Jhope laughed seeing me like that. I regained my composure and spread out all the documents in front of him.

"Never mind that. we have things to do. Your name is now Jeon Seokho and you work as a game developer for Comdal Soft. You came to the UK for a business trip," I explained to him, without even once glancing at him.

"Jeon Seokho?" He rolled his eyes, "Who on Earth would believe that trash? My name is beautiful as it is," he continued his ranting for a good few minutes before it finally got on my nerve. I guess I just exploded because of it. "Just do as I say!" He looked at me shocked, "You seem to change a lot in the past two days,"

I bit my lower lip nervously because I accidentally forgot to stay in character. I was still thinking of an answer when my phone vibrated, saving me for a few minutes. Excusing myself, I exited the room to answer it.

"Where are you?" I was exhausted with this. I heard her snickering at the other end. "Where are you two now? I'm coming over," she said.

"NO!" I screamed, earning glares from the hospital staff. "Stay where you are. We're gonna get you when we're done over here," I assured her. She was cursing softly, but still audible enough for me and hung up. Almost growling, I was cursing myself having to take care of a stubborn little sh.t.

"Who are you actually?"

Turning around, I saw Jhope was already standing up with his arms crossed. One thing that worried me was the unpleasant face he had on. Levi walked past me, with all the documents in his hand. He managed to whisper me something before he left, leaving me with Jhope alone.

Okay, make that two stubborn little sh.ts.
