Pain Of Betrayal Is A Deadly Thing

Namjoon comes in from his morning run and sees the gloomy faces sitting on the couch. He wipes his face on his towel, "What's up, guys? Why so glum?"

Tae, Jimin, and Jungkook start to answer when Yoongi calls from the other room.

"Joon, is that you?" 

Namjoon calls back, "Yeah."

Yoongi comes to the doorway, not looking at the boys. He says, "We need to talk. I have something to tell you."

Namjoon recognizes that tone of voice. Yoongi is angry. 'Shit.'

"Dam, it must be serious. I've only ever seen you this upset once before." Namjoon joins him in the game room. He recalls Yoongi storming into the break room, shattering the glass in the door a few years ago.

Later, Namjoon walks out to the living room, where the boys still sit on the couch. 

He glares at them harshly, saying, "You are idiots!"

Jungkook mumbles, "Yeah, we know." 

Namjoon pulls out his phone and crosses the living room to the stairs. "Jin, answer the phone. You have to come back so we can talk. Call me back."

He stops at the foot of the stairs and looks back at them. "What the hell were you thinking?" he asks, not expecting them to answer. Then he heads to his room.

You're in your room, trying to reach Jin. You wipe tears from your eyes and leave a voicemail: "Jin? Nom-nom, please answer me. Jin, please talk to me."

Not taking his eyes off the road, he cuts off his phone, not wanting to talk to anyone. When suddenly a truck is swerving into his lane, the driver slumped over the steering wheel.

Jin tries to avoid it,  but the truck hits the suv, and both go careening off the road into a ravine.

 The suv hits a tree and comes to a stop. Relief was short lived as no sooner had it stopped than the truck plowed into it, breaking the tree and pushing the suv into a roll and then into a bigger tree.

 At this point, everything goes black for Jin.

Back at the house, you come stumbling down the stairs, holding your phone out towards them. They hear you sobbing and turn to you. 

"He, he's . . . accident," you are choked up with emotion, "em-emerg . . . emergency. . .  room." You crumble to the floor at the foot of the stairs, crying, "This is all my fault, all my fault." 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The others are already heading out to the other suv. Namjoon, having finished his shower and getting dressed, heard you go by his door crying. He rushes out with one hand, rubbing a towel through his still damp hair. Upon hearing about Jin, he drops the towel and rushes down the stairs to help you up. Together, you follow the others already at the suv getting buckled in.

You sit next to Namjoon, staring out the window. He has his arm around you as you cry. Your crying turns into whimpering over and over again, "It's all my fault," all the way to the hospital.

 Namjoon pulls you close and leans his head to yours, whispering, "It's not your fault, sweetheart. It's not your fault." he gently pats you on the shoulder, keeping you close. But his words don't soothe your broken heart and shattered mind.

Yoongi's phone goes off, and he hands it to Namjoon while driving. "Answer that, would you?"

Namjoon sees a text from Hobi. Hobi is listed as Jin's emergency contact.

Hobi texted: "I just got a call from the hospital about Jin. The doctor told us what happened.  They say he is unconscious. We can't get there. Tell him we love him. Please keep us updated. Let us know if anything changes. We can't get a flight out, but we're trying."
