Chapter 8
It's quiet.
It's soft.
It's warm.
A loud fast beeping startles Namjoon awake. Where is he? The grass doesn't feel this way!
"Woah, calm down. It's just the hospital! You're ok, Joon!"
Namjoon stops his movements. Hoseok?
"Hobi?"
"Yeah, it's me. Are you ok?"
Namjoon nods. "Yeah, I think I am. My eyes don't hurt anymore."
Hoseok sighs, "yeah, yeah that was a huge shock to me when I found you. It scared me, Joon."
"How did you find me? Why did it take you so long to realize I was in trouble?"
"In trouble?" Hoseok asked. "I came to check on you because the man on the phone didn't sound very reliable. Said his name was Han...something? I don't remember, but he managed to woo our boss so you were on your PTO." Hoseok was kind of shocked at what Yoongi said.
"I didn't know you were in trouble, just felt off, you never asked for PTO not even days off. When I stopped by yesterday morning, your house was rubble and you were right next to it, passed out. That man burned your house, didn't he?"
Namjoon shook his head. "I did. It was the only way for me to leave with my crippled self."
Hoseok nods. The two just relax as the television plays the news.
"WAS THERE A BODY!?" Namjoon screams making Hoseok jump.
"What!?"
Namjoon calms down. "Was there a body? He was still in there when I left."
Hoseok shakes his head. "Oh, yeah, um, no. There was no body. That's why I thought he was an arsonist."
Namjoon starts to freak out. His heart monitor beeping like crazy. "Hoseok, are you sure?"
"You're scaring me." Hoseok says.
"That man, is the Chopstick Slayer."
Hoseok stands and grips Namjoon's shoulders. "Are you ok? Did he hurt you?"
Namjoon doesn't say anything so Hoseok asks, "are you sure it was him?"
"Yes. He told me. He told me everything he has done and why. Hoseok, his name is Min Yoongi. You need to find him now. Min Yoongi, that's M-I-N Y-O-O-N-G-I. Go now."
Hoseok nods after he writes down the name in his notepad. He runs out of the hospital room and the hospital itself. Driving straight to the precinct.
Namjoon slams back into his pillows. Hopefully Hoseok can catch him.
"Nice to see you awake, Mr. Kim." A female voice speaks up, scaring Namjoon a bit.
~~~
"Alright, is there anything else you need before you sleep?" The same nurse from this morning.
Namjoon shakes his head. "No, miss. Thank you."
The nurse nods her head and places the tv remote down on the side table. "Good night, Mr. Kim."
The door closes with a gentle click. Namjoon sighs as he lays down in a more comfortable position. "I am so tired."
"Must be with the crazy adventure you had."
Namjoon jumps at the new voice. Footsteps came closer to his bed, if only he knew where that nurse call button was.
"I think detective friend was a little too late."
Namjoon can hear the smirk.
"Yoongi."
"Speak of the devil and he shows, honey."
~~~
Hoseok slams the hospital room door open, he rushes inside but stops when he sees the empty bed.
"Namjoon!" Running into the private bathroom he doesn't find his friend.
"Shit!"
The female nurse rushes in as well, she gasps at the setting. "Where did he go?"
Hoseok growls, "I don't know, but I do know who he is with."
Hoseok walks up to the window and stares out of it. His heart drops, scared of what is happening to his brother. "And I know damn well he is in trouble."
