Chapter - 41

Amber was lying on the bed unconsious. A drip was attached on her left hand and a clip of heart monitor was connected on the index finger of that very hand. Her face was calm and soft as if she was in a deep slumber. The atmosphere was tranquilled only the beeping sound of the heart monitor was echoing in the room.

Jin turned his head when he heard the door opened. Watching the two of them, he didn't say anything. He again averted his eyes back to Amber.

Jungkook stood near the foot of the bed, with a worried look he stared at Amber. While Taehyung stalked closer to Jin who was sitting on the chair beside the bed. He kept his hand on his elder brother's shoulder.

"Hyung, I wanna talk to you about something.", his voice was calm but his restlessness could be sensed slightly.

Jin gulped, tilted his head slightly and with a small nod got up from the chair. Before leaving he eyed Jungkook to be there in response to which Jungkook bowed to him.

"Whose pendant is it, hyung?",
Taehyung questioned as soon as they came out. Jin fluttered his eyelashes and was about to speak, when Taehyung interrupted him again, "Don't you dare to lie, hyung. I know there is something fishy about this pendant. The way both of you reacted on watching it, I'm damn sure you two know who's the owner of this pendant and Amber has the exactly same pendant which make it more evident."

Taehyung's voice was cold but his rage could be still felt from his words.

Jin sighed, "Yes....we both know whose pendant is this."

Taehyung felt as if the ground underneath his feet swiped away. He was left shuddered. His brother knew who's the owner of the pendant...the pendant which was retrieved from the murder scene...from Choi's dead body. His brother knew who was the killer. This thought made him crazy...insane. He wasn't able to digest what just his brother blurted out.

"Hyung, do you know what you're saying?", Taehyung held his arm and turned Jin towards him so that they stood face to face to each other, staring at each other's eyes.

"You know the owner of this pendant? Do you know from where this pendant has been retrieved? From Choi's dead body...he had clasped it tightly in his hand...so its totally clear that this pendant belongs to the kilker and you know who's the killer.", Taehyung ranted furiously.

Taehyung's rage was increasing second per second and Jin's silence was just adding fuel to his anger.

"Hyung, why Amber has exactly the same design of pendant? By the intricate design of the pendant its clear that these are custom designed pendants made only after customers order. Hyung, its very serious just tell me whose is it?"

This time Taehyung held Jin's shoulder and shook him hardly. Jin stared at him with an indescribable emotion. He had tears in his eyes but Taehyung could sense the hint of arrogance in them which made him furrowed his eyebrows.

"Tae...I know you have so many questions in your mind but its neither the correct time nor the correct place to answer. We'll talk about it later.", Jin patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

"Hyung, atleast tell me whose is it?", Taehyung pleaded desperately.

Jin's steps halted and he swirled around Taehyung. With a deep sigh he spoke, "For the moment, I can only tell you that the owner of this pendant was very close to Amy...was very close to us. You might have already guessed the fact that Amy was very special for that person and that's why he specially designed and ordered two exactly same intricated glow pendants...one for him and one for Amy. This is reason why we both reacted in that manner when you revealed from where you got the pendant."

Taehyung couldn't anticipate what he heard.

*'Close to Amber...close to hyung. Amber is special to him...ordered only two custom design glow pendants just for him and Amber.'*

These words kept banging inside his head. He looked at his brother and licked his lips.

"What's his name?"

Jin smiled sadly and extended the pendant towards him, "Hobi."

Hesitantly, Taehyung grabbed the pendant Jin left the spot and went inside the cabin.

Taehyung shuffle the pendant on his palm and then he was able to see the cravings of the name 'Amy' on the pendant.

"Amy.", he whispered the name softly and clasped the pendant tightly, "Hobi...who are you? Where are you?"

Casting a cold glance on the door for the last time, he left for his office.

Jin watched Amber with tearful eyes and a sombre smile danced on his lips.

*'You still have his pendant with you, Amy. You still believe him.'*

Then his eyes fell on Jungkook who was sitting on the chair where he was sitting few minutes ago. He has kept his hands clasped and head hung low.

He stalked closer to him and placing his hand on Jungkook's shoulder, he spoke, "You can go home, JK. Amy is fine...sleeping. When she'll wake up I'll call you. Then you come and take her home."

Jungkook lifted his gaze towards the voice and shook his head in denial.

"No, Dr. Kim, I'll stay here. I don't have any other work anyways except staying by her side."

Jin smiled faintly, nodding his head. Patting his shoulder, he agreed to him and left the cabin not before instructing him to call him whenever needed.

"Its Hoseok, Joonie, who killed Choi.", Jin's trembling voice echoed over the phone inside his cabin as soon as he entered the room.

He immediately called Namjoon to give him that shocking news.

"WHAT??", Namjoon bolted up from his office chair with a force which made the chair to flip over.

His yell surprised his PA, Yoongi who was present there discussing about the recent project.

"What are you saying, Jin? How could it be possible?"

"Its true, Joonie. Now only Taehyung told...", with that Jin explained all in details to Namjoon.

"How did he knew Amy has exactly the same pendant?", Namjoon queried and Yoongi furrowed his eyebrows.

"He must have seen it in Choi's party.", answered Jin guessing as only that day Amber wore a deep sweetheart neckline exposing her neck, collar bones and shoulders.

But little did they know Taehyung has seen it the next day when she went to his office.

"Amy still has that pendant?", Namjoon's voice was hoarse as if he was trying his best to calm himself.

"Hmm...", Jin replied with a soft hmm.

Namjoon took a deep breath, "Do I have to come to fetch her?"

"No...no need! JK is here and I'll take care of it."

"OK! Talk to you later."

Before Jin could say anything Namjoon has already hung up the call. Jin sighed, shaking his head in disdain.

"What happened, Namjoon? Is everything fine??", Yoongi questioned as he saw his boss pressing the bridge of his nose.

He could sense his boss's weariness and the way he piushed his chair it made Yoongi to think something bad must have happened.

"Yoongles, Hoseok is back in action."

These words were enough to make the PA to froze on his spot.

"What do you mean? The killer who killed Choi is...."

He left the sentence incomplete intentionally and Namjoon stared at him, nodding his head in agreement.

"How did you know?"

Then Namjoon explain everything to him whatever Jin has told him.

"Hoseok is back and now he is on roll too. Its not a good sign, Yoongles. We have to be careful.", Namjoon uttered those words, stuffing his hands in both of his pant pockets.

Yoongi gave him a simple nod. He knew what his boss meant and he was ready to do anything.

"Amy...Amy...I'm here! Come to me sweetheart."

Amber could hear the words ringing in her ears but she was unable to see the owner of the voice. She doesn't knew where she was. She could only see the darkness lingering around her making everything out of sight.

"Amy....don't you trust me?"

Again the same voice echoed in the vicinity but this time the voice was dull and also cracked a little as if the owner was on the verge of crying.

"Amy....come to me, sweetie! Trust me...I won't hurt you!"

"Hobi.", Amber called out softly. Voice little bit louder than a whisper, "Where are you?"

"I'm here, sweetie...my angel! Help me...I'm sorry what I did to you. Please help me it was not me, Amy. Trust me...come to me please...save me.", the voice finally cracked up and burst into sobs.

Amber hesistantly gollow the voice clutching her glowy pendant in her fist.

"Hobi...don't cry. I'm coming to you."

She could finally see a small ray of light coming from a distant. She stalked carefully towards it and eventually she was in light where she could see a figure lying on the floor infront of her.

She gasped as she doubted who he could be. With hesitant steps she moved closer to him. She croached down with trembling hands she turned the body and at that instant her eyes grew bigger from its usual size. Her face contorted in fear and pain.

"HOBI!!"

With a loud squeal, Amber jumped up on her butt. She was awake from her unconsciousness. Her breathing was abnormal and the annoying beeping sound of heart monitor indicated her abnormal heart beats.

Jungkook immediately darted closer to her and held one of her shoulder.

"Amy...Amy...", he patted her cheek.

After few seconds Amber became aware of her surroundings. She gazed at Jungkook and then placed one hand on her forehead.

"Are you fine? Had a bad dream?", Jungkook whispered softly near her face with a concerned look. She nooded her head.

"What happened?"

"You fainted suddenly after asking me to take you home...to Dr. Kim."

Listening to Jungkook's words Amber remembered what has happened earlier. Unconsciously, her hand slided to her neck and touched the pendant. Tears brimmed in her eyes. As she closed her eyes two drops of tears rolled down on her cheeks.

"Amy, are you hurting somewhere?", Jungkook asked her anxiously as he saw her crying.

Amber opened her eyes and her gaze met with Jungkook's.

"Are you OK?", he queried and helped her to sit resting her back on the headrest with the help of the cushions, "Let me call Dr. Kim!"

She nodded. Jungkook left the room, leaving her alone with her thoughts.

"Hobi...", she whispered under her breath, "...is it you? But why? You're here that means that day I didn't hallucinated. You were really there in Taehyung's office. How?", she kept mumbling to herself but got interrupted when Jin entered the cabin with the doctor, nurse and Jungkook.

After the doctor examined her thoroughly and adviced her to take rest and not to stressed out, he leftwith the nurse. Jin sat at the edge of the bed and held her right hand, softly caressing the back of her hand with his thumb.

"JK, leave us alone for a moment please!", Jin's pleading voice rang in Jungkook's and Amber's ears made both of them surprised.

With a simple nod Jungkook was about to turn his heels when Amber's soft mellow voice halted him.

"Don't go, JK!", uttered Amber, "Please stay...you should also know everything."

Jungkook glanced at Jin who was watching him with cold eyes void of any emotions. Then his eyes averted towards Amber who was smiling at him sombrely.

"You must be wondering about that pendant Taehyung showed me?", Amber asked and Jungkook nodded in return.

Jin tighten his grip on her hand which made her divert her gaze towards her brother. She blinked softly with a soft smile crawled on her lips.

"Its fine, oppa. JK should know everything about me then only he'll be able to protect me from anything and anyone."

Jin relaxes a bit but didn't let her hand go. He kept his grip tighter. Amber let out a soft chuckle.

She then took out her pendant from the collar of her hospital gown and showed it to Jungkook.

"See, I have exactly the same pendant that Taehyung has which he claimed to retrieved from Choi's dead body."

Jungkook's eyes widened in shock, "How???"

Amber slided her pendant under her gown and sighed before speaking, "Its a special glow pendant made only on customer's order. It was a gift from someone special. He had ordered two glowy flower pendants with our names carved on it. He used to say that these two pendants are the medium which connect us with each other no matter where we are.", she chuckled dryly, "I never took it off from me ever since I found it inside my closet drawer..."

"But why??", Jin's raged voice cut off her words in the middle, "What's the need??"

"Because he is my oppa...", her voice trembled, "...my elder brother...my best friend. How could I just forget him like that?", her voice choked a little bit at the end of the sentence

Jungkook was in daze without any doubt. He couldn't anticipate what was going on between them and what Amber exactly wanted to say.

Amber turned her head towards Jungkook, "I know you must be wondering what we're talking about. First you sit."

Jungkook immediately sat on the chair beside the bed.

Amber continued, "Me and Joonie oppa have a cousin from the sister of our father. His name is Jung Hoseok but I used to call him 'Hobi'. He was a guy full of energy and happiness. He was like a small ball of sunshine radiating love, happiness all around his way.", a small smile crawled on her lips on reminiscence of her cousin, "We three were a gang...a gang of siblings who were close to each other just like friends...always clunged together no matter what we do or wherever we're. But....", she sighed in distress, "....one day suddenly he confessed me that he loves me as his girl and he can't see me as her younger sister anymore. I was shocked at his confession because I have always seen him as my elder brother. For me he was always like Joonie oppa. I have never thought of him like that. I tried to make him understand but he was determined and left us."

Amber stopped for a moment to compose herself as those past memories were not that lovely and that were still hurting her alot. Jin held her hand tightly giving her an assurance of security. Amber smiled faintly and patted his hand softly.

"Things turned out awful after he left. Joonie oppa and appa were annoyed when they came to know about Hoseok's feelings. They disowned him from our home and business. I tried to protest but they didn't lend their ears to my words. Hobi tried to meet me outside my school and also outside the house but my guards and driver informed it to oppa and appa. After that they both hired a bodyguard for me."

She stared at Jungkook at the last sentence and Jungkook underatood what she wanted to say, so he interrupted, "Mr. Kim has told me about your previous bodyguard. I know everything about him."

"But you don't know one thing that Hobi helped him to kidnap me."
