Chapter 30
"So you were willing to do anything?"
Yoongi nodded again. "Yes even if Jin recognise me, at least I would be able to keep Yumei save."
Mr Kazuma nodded, "Tell me about the accident."
Yoongi licked his dry lips, "We were doing a competition the two groups against each other and we were on the track."
Mr Kazuma stood up from behind his table, "You let my fragile daughter run?"
Yoongi didn't flinch at his outburst. "You should know very well that she is a stubborn mule, she wanted to run. So I didn't see the accident but she tripped and fell."
Mr Kazuma's hands turned into fists, "I do not believe you, there is no way in hell that Yumei is that clumsy."
Yoongi stood up from the chair, "You can ask Yumei, she will confirm the story and sir if you take me away from her now- you will break your promise to her."
Mr Kazuma's expression softened at this, he had promised that she could have a normal student life. "Who got her to the hospital?"
Yoongi realised he had won the battle but he would be closely watched from now on. "A man called Kim Namjoon."
Mr Kazuma stiffened that was Goro's brother's boy. "Is he-"
"I am not sure if he has a connection to the Kim family and he seems to be her interest."
Mr Kazuma sat back down, his baby girl has a crush on this Kim Namjoon? But how? They have only met two days ago. "You will investigate him."
Yoongi nodded at him, "I plan to, sir."
Mr Kazuma let out a breath, "You know she is my everything, Yoongi and if she loves this man and he has no connection to the Kim family-"
"You want him to be her way out?" Yoongi couldn't believe the words that came out of his mouth, he had just confirmed that he was all for this plan.
But what about him? Will he get out of this life? Would he be free if Yumei is free? If she was free would they still be friends? He walked to the door, "I have somewhere to be, sir."
Mr Kazuma waved him off. "Tell Yumei, I will see her tomorrow."
How did he know that I was going there? Yoongi blinked and opened the door, "Majima!" He closed the door behind him.
Mr Kazuma leaned back in his chair, "How strange is the circle of life? My daughter is in love with an ex-yakuza's son."
Yoongi was already at the car when Majima appeared. "Are you going to the little Miss?"
Yoongi nodded, "I have to grovel."
Majima grinned, "I was right about you boy."
Yoongi hadn't thought much about Majima's words and climbed into the car, Majima got in and the car sprang to life.
Yoongi gazed out the window, the stars were beautiful tonight. He remembered a little girl who threw a tantrum because she wasn't allowed to be outside because of her weak immune system. All she wanted to do was to lie on the grass and look up at a few stars.
She was crying and he got annoyed at her so he had grabbed her hand and took her to her bedroom window to show her the stars. When it wasn't cloudy he would sit with her for hours. "One day, I will be able to lie under the stars outside."
He had smiled at the thought that was when he realised she wasn't annoying and she was stronger than she gave herself credit for. 'Yumei, I am sorry.'
The car stopped at the hospital, he climbed out and ran to the entrance. He didn't hear Majima call his name, and he threw the doors opened. It was empty except for a boy who was boring the receptionist.
He ran past to Yumei's room, he found the door opened and no one was inside. "Jimin!" There was no answer, he entered the room, there was no sign of a struggle.
"Where are they?" He took out his phone his heart was beating fast against his chest. 'What if Jin realised that she was in fact Yumei?'
He scrolled down for Jimin's number and dialled, it was only ringing and he wasn't answering, "Dammit!" He scrolled down his phone looking for the app he promised that he would never use.
He opened it and tracked Jimin's phone, 'Strange, it was still here in the hospital.' He stood a few seconds gazing at his screen, wait! The roof they are on the roof, he put his phone in his pocket and ran out of the room to the stairs.
He slammed the roof door opened and looked around he saw to people sitting in the bench in the middle of the roof. He joined forward but someone had his hand on his chest, "Don't!" It came out as a hard whisper.
Yoongi's eyes adjusted to the darkness, the hand belonged to Jimin, "Don't do what?" He kept his voice low.
Jimin pointed towards the bench and placed his finger on his lips, he indicated to the door of the roof and Yoongi understood that he wanted to talk there.
"The stars feel brighter tonight, it seems they are happy that we are watching them." Namjoon gazed down to Yumei who's head was laying against his chest.
He lowered his left arm that it lay slightly over her shoulder and arm. The wind was getting chilly, "You are right Joonie, I have never seen the stars shining so brightly before."
He adjusted slightly, "Are you feeling better?"
"I-hm" She let out a yawn. "You made the hospital so much fun." She sat up and he felt the side of his shirt where her head was going cold. "Thank you for the surprise, " She turned her head to look at him.
His arm was still slightly on her shoulders, his heart was racing and he didn't understand what this feeling was. "I- I am happy you liked your surprise."
She didn't answer him instead she returned her head where it was and looked up at the stars again. She was happy and she couldn't tell him how happy she was.
His arm slipped over hers again, it was so comfortable and she closed her eyes. The wind got stronger and Namjoon felt her shiver, "Yuki? Should we go back?"
There wasn't an answer, he turned his gaze down and noticed her breath was even; she fell asleep. "Yuki?" He sat back and moved without disturbing her and removed his jacket.
He covered her, she let out a peaceful groan and hugged his jacket closer. He sat back again and placed his arm around her, he looked up to the sky again.
The Morning Star was shining brightly at him, he didn't know how long they have been sitting there but it was a comfortable silence.
Jimin closed the door behind them, "I am glad you haven't been fired."
Yoongi turned towards him. "I can be persuasive if need be, but tell me what is going on back there?" His eyes motioned to the roof.
Jimin smiled, "Kim Namjoon came to visit Yumei."
Yoongi folded his arms, he still didn't trust him. "And how did he manage that? They only let family through because of you know..."
Jimin leaned against the wall, "My guess is he slipped past the nurses, he even bought her a stuffed animal."
A stuffed animal? Why didn't he think of that? He knew her fear of hospitals and she usually carried her book for comfort. 'Note to self, find Yumei's book.'
"Jimin, Kim Namjoon is friends with Jin."
Jimin's eyes widened. "Are you sure?"
Yoongi nodded at him, "Yes, Jin confirmed earlier today that they are friends." Yoongi looked at the door again. "So you understand my reluctance to see him with her?"
Jimin nodded, "I understand but I still think we have to look deeper into this business before concluding."
He stood back from the wall, "Yumei won't be able to go to the university until she can manage, so let us investigate this."
Yoongi bit his lip, 'Will Jimin join him?' He didn't want him to, he still had to talk to Unmei and that he had to do alone. "Will you be joining me then?"
Jimin shook his head, "No. I will be investigating from afar but we should keep communicating as often as we can."
Yoongi jumped, "He is bringing her back in. Let us talk about this later."
Jimin listened to the sound, "Let us return to the room but you should hide and then we can talk."
Yoongi nodded and they turned and started running down the stairs back to Yumei's hospital room. They heard the elevator door ping and they entered the room before the doors opened. Jimin took a seat in the chair and Yoongi hid behind the door.
Namjoon checked his watch, '11 pm.' It was late and he didn't let his parents know that he would be this late, luckily he told them he will be with Tae.
His phone was on silent, he looked down to Yumei whose head was resting on his lap now. How was he going to do this without waking her?
He placed his right hand under her head gently lifting it to move his legs from under her head. Her nose twitched, he got up this is going to be more difficult than he thought.
He moved his right hand so that he could get his left arm under her shoulders to lift her slightly and got her in a slight sitting position.
Namjoon was trying his best to not wake her but she stirred, "Joonie?" He placed his right arm under her legs, "I am here Yuki. I am taking you back inside."
"Okay." Her voice was a whisper and she held on his jacket tightly. Namjoon lifted her, her head lightly thudded against his chest and he walked back to the elevator.
Namjoon peeked at Yumei, she was fast asleep again, he pressed the button and the wind was howling at them now. 'I hope this little stunt of mine doesn't make her sick.'
The elevator doors opened, he entered and presses the down button. Her arms were tugged in and she had drawn his jacket up over her nose.
The elevator pinged and opened on the floor her room was on, Namjoon took a look around to see if the coast was clear. He stepped out, his heart was thumping loudly, 'She said that Jimin was here and what if-'
'Don't think about it now.' He walked towards her room and noticed that the room door was still open. 'Maybe he didn't return?'
He walked into her room and towards the best. He placed her in the bed and removed his arm from under her back. He tried to take his jacket but she was clutching it and had no attention to let it go.
He smiled at her, ' I guess that I would be leaving that.' He heard a noise behind him and saw someone stoop up in the corner.
"So you have taken my friend on a midnight ride?"
Namjoon gulped and the light turned on, Yoongi didn't move from behind the door, Jimin said he should just stay in the shadows.
It was the man he saw earlier today.
