Namjoon twirled the phone in his hand. He knows he should call somebody. For one, Kim Taehyung needs serious medical attention. He can't just let him be in a remote village house.

But, from the way the village leader spoke about it, Kim Taehyung seemed to be scared of being found by the wrong people and who exactly were those wrong people? Namjoon had no clue. The actor had said not to contact the police even so he could very well be in a life threatening danger, possibly already having been in one.

Driven by a sudden 'light-bulb' thought, Namjoon picked up his phone and dialed a number which was saved with a heart-eyes emoji. It took a few rings to get answered, and Namjoon had this strange image of the recipient holding the phone in his hand, but contemplating to answer.

"Hello."

"Good morning, Dr Kim. Hope I didn't catch you at a busy time."

"Good morning."

Namjoon waited for a few seconds for Jin to say something but when the latter didn't, Namjoon rushed to speak.

"Dr Kim? This is Kim Namjoon. Uhhh.. Intern from the hospital?"

Namjoon thought that the voice from the other end had a slight hint of a smile to it, but he couldn't be hundred percent sure of it.

"I know who you are. I have your number saved."

That did make Namjoon flash a small smile. "Ahh.. of course. Okay."

"Isn't today your day-off? Why did you call me?"

"You know when my day-off is?"

There was a pause, which made Namjoon regret blurting out his stupid question. Usually he's much more intelligent than this but whenever Dr Kim is involved, Namjoon turns into this court jester. He was just about to apologize for his question when Jin spoke up again.

"Well, if this is a social call, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to cut-"

"No, no! This is important. Like life and death situation important."

"Life and- okay, I'm listening."

"I- uhhh.. didn't know who else to call. He had said not to call the police, but I can't just keep him here. His condition is too severe for that. But then I remembered how you got the idol, Jeon Jungkook to play for Sooyun. And they were in a drama together recently so I thought maybe you can work a connection and I don't know, like get a contact number of his family or manager or someone."

A seconds pause, after which a high alert voice came through from the other end. "Who are you talking about?"

"Kim Taehyung. You know the actor, Kim Taehyung. He is here and he's badly hurt-

"Where are you?" Namjoon could hear a rustling sound, as well as the urgency in that question. "Where is he? How is he?!"

Little baffled by the intensity of the response he's getting, Namjoon proceeded to give a short description to Seokjin about the location of the village, his voluntary work and Taehyung's condition.

"I'm on my way. How far is it from Seoul?"

"Uhh.. About 5 hours on the road." Namjoon scratched his head a bit. "Plus there's a part where you have to walk because there's no road for a vehicle."

Again, there was a pause for a few seconds, and Namjoon held the phone tightly against his ear. "Okay wait, I'll call you back."

The line was cut abruptly. Namjoon pulled down his phone and stared at it. He was still staring about a half a minute later when it rang again.

"Dr Kim-'

"Send me the exact location. I'll be there in 2 hours." Namjoon could hear the sound of a vehicle starting. "I'm on my way to the hospital now. I'll call you back to ask what stuff he needs immediately."

"Okay."

"Namjoon."

Namjoon had to gulp a bit and steady his voice a bit because he had never heard his name being uttered by Dr Kim in that tone before. Urgent. Soft. Without the frustrated sigh or the cold professionalism.. Pleading..

"Y-yeah?"

"Please keep him safe. He's- he's a very important person to me."

"Don't worry, Dr Kim. I won't let anything happen to him."

Namjoon knew he was being rather dramatic, but when the call ended, He vowed to keep that promise with his life.

Jungkook was listening to a call between Jimin and the team investigating Taehyung's disappearance when his phone rang with a call.

"Hyung-"

"Kookie, I know where he is! But we need to hurry."

Namjoon glanced at his phone again, probably for the 100th time, but there weren't any new calls or messages. After Jin's call to ask about Kim Taehyung's condition and his immediate medical requirements, Namjoon didn't hear from the elder doctor. He was keeping an eye on the actor, trying to keep his body temperature from rising dangerously, but there was very little he could do without proper medicine.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise. Namjoon came out of the house, just in time to see a helicopter appearing in the sky, moving directly toward the village. Once it's closer, Namjoon could see that it had the logo of the Seoul hospital, indicating that it's a one that they use to transport VVIP patients.

Namjoon frantically waved at the helicopter, directing the pilot to a nearby location to land. Once the helicopter was on the ground, the door opened and a man jumped out of it, followed by Seokjin and a few other staff from their hospital.

Namjoon watched with wide eyes, as the idol Jeon Jungkook ran towards him, and Seokjin being only two feet behind him.

"Where is he?!"

Namjoon wordlessly pointed towards the house he just came out of, and the idol ran straight in. Seokjin passed only to give a light pat on Namjoon's shoulder before he rushed in too. Namjoon followed him, only to see the idol hugging and rocking the actor. And Seokjin half heartedly trying to get them apart.

It must be his professionalism speaking because Namjoon didn't even know how he managed to untie his tongue with the scene he was witnessing. "You shouldn't do that. His wounds are not healed and he might have internal bleeding too."

Two pairs of eyes snapped towards him, making a sudden heat creep up behind Namjoon's neck but he held his ground. The words seem to have woken Seokjin from the distracted state he was in too.

"He's right. Kookie, let him go."

And the idol, 'Kookie', immediately let the man go and gently placed him on the bed again. "I'm sorry, I-"

"It's okay." It was so strange for Namjoon to see Dr Kim half hugging the idol. "We will take it from here."

"Hyung-"

"Don't worry, Kookie. He'll be okay."

The staff from the hospital were called in and together, they carried the stretcher with an unconscious Kim Taehyung in it to the helicopter. Seokjin paused with one foot on the helicopter and came back running towards Namjoon.

"A-are you coming with us?"

Namjoon shook his head. "No, my jeep is here. Plus I have a few more houses to visit too."

Seokjin looked like he wanted to say something more but then he decided not to. His body was half turned to go back to the helicopter, when he turned back again and hugged Namjoon.

"Thank you." Seokjin's voice was soft and weighing so much with emotions. "Thank you for finding him."

Namjoon just stood there like a statue. His brain was screaming at him to say something, anything, and hug Seokjin back, cause this will surely be a one-of-a-lifetime chance and he's wasting it like a fool. But his body refused to cooperate. So he just stood there, tongue-tied and frozen, until Seokjin moved back from the hug.

The elder doctor looked a little pink in the face, with blazing red ears. Namjoon didn't want to even imagine how he'd be looking right now. After a one short nod, Seokjin was gone.

And after Namjoon watched the helicopter disappear, all he could think about was how he missed the opportunity to hug the man he like.
