FORTY FIVE: OUR SONG

THIRD PERSON POV

"Did the plan work?" Seokjin said as he looked over at a corner and Jihoon nodded as Namjoon crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"What does he even see in that guy, he's a yakuza's pawn! Do you think I'll let this mmf!" Namjoon said but was silenced by Hoseok.

"Relax Joon, your sister's gonna get a boyfriend, get married and have kids... and you're here still single," Hoseok said and Namjoon glared at him.

"I mean I don't object her in those events BUT I don't see what she sees in Yoongi or maybe I'm blind!" Namjoon argued and Taehyung snickered.

"I'm not even jealous at all! I'm happy with both of them! I'm so happy I could cry! Wipe my tears, Jungkook," Taehyung said as he faked a cry, and Jungkook rolled his eyes as he stood beside Jihoon.

"Merry Christmas by the way, Namhee," Yoongi said as he walked inside the warehouse with her, and Namhee smiled back.

"Yeah, Merry Christmas," Namhee said as she beamed at him, and Yoongi sighed as he sat on the stool.

"I came finding you, but I ended up going to this old room and found you. It's funny huh? I guess you just spoiled yourself with what I was supposed to do tonight," Yoongi said as he turned pink.

"Spoil? You were supposed to do something tonight?" Namhee asked, and Yoongi nodded.

"You know... how to play the piano right?" Yoongi asked as he looked at something that was covered in a dirty cloth.

"Well, I do. But why are you asking that?" Namhee asked, and Yoongi smiled.

"I played the piano when I was 4 years old. And in Japan, I was known as someone who played for thousands of people, but I left it because I joined the yakuza," Yoongi said softly.

"But today is Christmas Eve, I wanted to play something special for you," Yoongi before taking the cloth off, revealing an old and broken piano.

"That's beautiful, Yoongi! Can you play for me? It's okay if you don't remember now," Namhee smiled and Yoongi sat himself down on the stool.

"This piece... is dedicated to Bangtan, but I want you to hear it first," Yoongi said before placing his hands on the piano keys. His long and slender fingers pressing the keys to start the song.

Soon, there was piano music that filled the warehouse, and Namhee stared in awe as Yoongi was focused and composed at what he was playing.

"I know this song," Namhee said as she looked at him.

"But it's played with as a duet, isn't it?" Namhee said as she sat beside him, and she placed her hands on the keys.

"The unique thing about this is that the hands of the other partner is chasing the others, like a person who wants to confess," Namhee said as she trailed her fingers to continue.

"It reminds me of you, Yoongi," she said and Yoongi looked at her.

"Me? Why?"

"You always carry the burden and protect those precious to you. That's why I trust you the most," Namhee beamed.

"Why are you shouldering this song all to yourself like how you shoulder the burdens? That is why I want you to share those problems with us, Yoongi... because I don't want you in pain," Namhee smiled and Yoongi laughed lightly.

"So whatever happens, it's not your fault because you carry all the burdens," Namhee said and Yoongi sighed softly.

"Thanks, Namhee," Yoongi smiled as he looked up at the window that displayed snow falling.

"I.... nevermind. Do you want to go outside?" Yoongi asked and Namhee nodded.

Meanwhile...

"I'M FUCKING NOT HAVING IT!" Namjoon yelled as he was being restrained by Seokjin and Hoseok, and Taehyung was tearing up as he watched the two.

"What even is there to cry about?!" Jungkook said as he patted Taehyung's back and Jihoon looked at the two.

"That's my student! Man, I'm such an awesome wingman!" Jihoon said happily and Jungkook side-eyed him.

"Wingman? Love is so.... icky," Jungkook stuck his tongue out and Jihoon sighed.

"Once you fall in love I bet you won't say that anymore," Jihoon sighed and Jungkook rolled his eyes.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Namhee seemed like a great girl, can I meet her?" Soujin asked and Taehyung looked at Soujin.

"Namhee was like every teenage girl, no one bullied her but she beats the shit out of those who bully Namjoon," Taehyung said as he smiled softly.

"Ah yeah, she was like an unstoppable sister to us," Jungkook said. "Although, I never really got close to her."

"Namhee... she would've loved to meet you... Soujin," Taehyung said as he smiled at her.

"Because Namhee isn't with us anymore," Taehyung said.

FLASHBACK

"Namjoon, I'm gonna go buy the other boys some refreshments, I heard they were going to the beach today, right?" Namhee smiled as she was holding onto Namjoon's arm.

"You don't have to Namhee, those boys can manage themselves," Namjoon sighed and Namhee looked at him.

"Even if it's not for them you're also going with them and you're gonna get thirsty!" Namhee argued and Namjoon smiled as he nodded.

"Fine, I'll wait outside. Be quick," Namjoon said and Namhee nodded as she ran inside the nearby store.

After a few minutes, Namjoon's eyes widened as he looked at the crowd walking towards him.

"Hey Joon, there you are! You owe me something," one of the boys said and Namjoon glared at them.

"I don't owe you anything," Namjoon said and the boys chuckled.

"That one time you and your stupid pigheaded group destroyed our bikes, and you're gonna pay for it!" They said and Namjoon sighed.

"It was a fair fight, it's stupid you're whining over a fight we both agreed on," Namjoon groaned.

"Do you want us to beat you up?!" They seethed.

"Namjoon!" Namhee said as she got out of the store.

Suddenly, Namjoon's eyes widened and even the boys froze at the sight.

BANG!

A loud noise rang in the air. It was clear and it lasted for a couple of seconds.

"Ah shit! We're out of this!" The boys said as they ran away, but Namjoon stayed glued to the ground. His eyes and figure not wavering, his legs suddenly felt like lead.

Namhee was on the ground, dropping the refreshments as she clutched her abdomen. Blood seethed out of her hands as Namjoon ran towards her, he was panicking... he didn't know what to do. He's seeing his sister, blood was coming out of her.

"Namhee!" Namjoon said as he grabbed Namhee's arms, throwing them around the back of his neck before lifting her up.

"I'm taking you to the hospital!" Namjoon said as he ran as quick as he can, but failed to do so because of the weight on his back.

He wasn't sure whether it was the weight of pain seeing her sister, kr the weight of her sister slowly becoming heavier by the minute.

"Namjoon....," she coughed out, and Namjoon looked sideways.

"I'm taking you to the hospital, Namhee," Namjoon said and Namhee smiled as his clothes were stained by the blood that kept seething out of her stomach.

"I'm reminded.... of the time when we were kids, and you used to take me on your back like this, I missed it," Namhee smiled softly and Namjoon nodded.

"You... were lighter than before," Namjoon responded.

"Namjoon, I know I will never know the answer....

...but can you tell Yoongi I love him?"

"You... say that to him yourself once you're out of the hospital," Namjoon said and Namhee chuckled softly.

"I love Yoongi... but I hope even though he doesn't love me, I'll always be by his side. And yours, and Jihoon's, and Jungkook's, and Seokjin's, and Hoseok's, and Taehyung's. And also grandma and grandpa too," Namhee said.

"I know I'm not supposed to butt in to you and Yoongi's business, but Yoongi... he loves you too you know? He always has that look in his eyes, that he... adores you," Namjoon smiled softly.

"I see... as long as he keeps up with that look, even if I'm gone... I'm happy," Namhee smiled back.

"Namhee... once you're out, do me a favor and don't hurt yourself again?" Namjoon smiled, and Namhee nodded.

"Yep, I don't want to worry you anymore, but promise me not to blame yourself, alright? Promise me," Namhee said softly.

"I promise," Namjoon said.

"Namjoon....

...I love you, brother."

"I love you too, but we'll get you to the hospital, alright Namhee?" Namjoon said as he gripped tighter onto Namhee, but it felt like the grip around his neck loosened, and her arms felt to his sides.

"Namhee, everything will be alright, Namhee," Namjoon said shakily, tears flooding his eyes as he kept carrying her to the hospital.

"Once you're... out, you'll wake up again, right?" Namjoon said, as tears rolled down his eyes.

Then, his legs turned weak, and he slowly kneeled down on the floor as the weight grew heavier, and she wasn't responding anymore.

"Namhee.... Namhee.... I love you too, I'm sorry...," Namjoon cried as his tears rolled down and onto the cement floor. It was a cloudy day for summer, and Namjoon believed... he believed that Namhee would still be alive.

But she didn't.

END OF FLASHBACK

Namjoon looked out of the window. He was relocated in an underground laboratory of SAN. He sighed as he looked out of the window. The weather was dark and cloudy.

"Chief Doctor Namjoon!" DuoYi smiled as she called out to him, her hologram appearing as she slowly walked towards her.

"DuoYi, you finished sending the info to me?" Namjoon asked and DuoYi nodded.

"I did my best master! Should I make some coffee for you?" DuoYi beamed, and Namjoon smiled before shaking his head, watching his hologram AI assistant's childlike figure.

"DuoYi, can you call me brother? Just this once."
