Black Smoke


The beeping sounds of machines echoed against the walls of the small ICU room where Jimin lay unconscious. The atmosphere of the room was dark and dreary; and at the end of his bed stood Bee. Her hands couldn't stop trembling over her quivering lips, and her tears never seemed to stop ever since she found him on her bedroom floor. This was all her fault. Jimin is in  here because of her.

When she heard someone enter the room, she quickly wipes away her tears and tries to compose herself. She watches as Daisy walks up to her with a cup of hot chocolate in hand.

"If you're not thinking of resting any sooner then I think you should better take this" she said as she held out the cup towards Bee. Whispy steam could be seen escaping from the cup and floated into thin air like a ghost. Daisy waited for a response, however, Bee just stood there and stares at the cup handed to her, hugging herself tighter. There was no means to comforting her at the moment and so when Bee didn't take the cup, Daisy set it down on the table closest to them and steps closer towards the bed, staring at the figure resting on it.

"Where have you been?" Daisy's voice was quiet, but Bee heard her just fine. Bee's eyes grew wide at her question. What was she talking about?

"What do you mean-"

"You've been missing, Bee! We've been looking all over for you. Do you even know how worried we were? And Jimin, he..." Daisy swallows hard, it was difficult for her to continue about what she knew.

"What happened to Jimin, Daisy?" Bee sat down beside her friend. She needed to know what happened to him.

"We found him on the bakery's kitchen floor, passed out and you weren't there! He was out cold for one whole day but when he woke up, he went into hysterics. He started screaming your name and told us... I-I don't know how to explain this-" Daisy covers her face with both her hands. Just the idea of telling Bee what had happened seemed ridiculous. Nothing made any sense.

"He told us he saw this monster and it brought you away with it" Daisy chuckles nervously; such ridiculous words came out from her mouth. "He came to our house tonight and I let him into your room but I didn't... I didn't know you would be there! I didn't know what happened with you in there with Jimin, but when I entered your room... Jimin was there lying on the floor and you- you had blood on your hands." Daisy whimpers as she starts to replay the images of what she saw in her head.



Bee stood by the window, staring out at the soft rain pattering against the window sill. It has  been three days now and she was still waiting for Jimin to wake up. The doctor told her that he was unstable, the wound had gotten too close too deep to damaging his vital organs. They didn't know when he would wake up or if he even would. It was a cold day and the air conditioning in that room wasn't much help either. She rubbed her palms together and blew hot air into them to keep them warm.

She stumbles back in a panic when she sees red blood stains all over hands. The warm liquid seeping between her fingers and just as she was about to scream, in the blink of an eye everything was gone. She kept on having flashbacks of what had happened, but she just never recall how.

She tried to calm herself down by taking deep breaths. Her hands now starting to tremble all over again. She just didn't want to believe she was losing her sanity. She just wasnt! Bee looked back towards the bed. Jimin was still laying there, his chest slowly moving up and down and her gaze immediately turns soft. Tears start to well in her eyes; realising that if it wasn't because of her they wouldn't be here and Jimin wouldn't be lying unconcious in this hospital bed.

According to Daisy, the police were going to ask her a few questions. The doctor had stated that the wound was caused by a blade but when the police searched for the weapon, they couldn't find anything that could match the description. Bee turns back towards the window and let out a loud sigh.

Her eyes widened when her vision had focused on something reflected in the window from behind her.

She swiftly turns around to face the creature behind her. What she had expected to be just her imagination turned out to be real, and with the tall figure standing right in font of her, she stumbles back into the wall behind her. Unable to speak. Unable to scream.

Unable to breath.

"You didn't forget me, did you?" Yoongi says as he steps closer towards the cowering girl. It was weird how she suddenly remembers everything she went through with this creature as soon as he appeared in front of her. She remembers how she tried to escape, and how she failed doing so.

"Y-Yoongi, please" she sobs, her palms are covering her face now. Yoongi had pulled her hands away and placed his on her cheeks, then leaning in to kiss her on the forehead. He wiped away her wet cheeks with his thumb and the placed another kiss on her nose.

"Bee.." he strokes her hair, "You already know you could never leave me. I told you so, but you are so stubborn." His eyebrows crumple in the middle of his forehead. "And just look at what you've done now. The poor boy." Yoongi says as he glances over at Jimin.

"He loved you so much. He wanted to protect you from whatever was hurting you, but you ended up hurting him instead." A sarcastic, sympathetic smile carved on his face.

This made Bee break down even harder. She never meant to hurt him this way. But what he said was no lie, she did this to him. To Jimin.

"Please Yoongi!" Bee grabs onto his suit, her eyes wet and pleading. " I-I'd do anything for you. J-Just bring him back, p-please." She begs him. Yoongi stares down at her; emotionless at first but then a smile creeps up on his face.

Yoongi cups her face again, and the usual feeling of his cold palms crept up on her cheeks.

"Anything?" He repeats and Bee nods her head. Determined. "Even if it meant you staying with me forever?" He asks. Bee freezes at the words and finds his cold stare.

Stay with Yoongi forever? That would mean her attempt to escape would mean all for nothing... but Jimin's life was at stake. Bee sucked in a breath, closed her eyes tightly and nodded. Agreeing to his deal.

The side of his lips rose to a smile, he takes a step back and he instantly disappears into a fog of black smoke. The moment Bee opens her eyes, Yoongi was gone. She turns her head towards a choking and coughing sound and quickly runs towards Jimin who was gasping for air.

"Bee! Bee!" He screams out. Pulling at his line and wires, struggling to get out of bed. He had no idea where he was and he was panicking. It wasn't until the excruciating pain in his abdomen struck his every nerve and he collapses to the floor, on the other side of the bed.

"Bee!" He chokes out again, despite palming at his wound.

"I'm here, Jimin. I'm here!" Bee kneels down in front of him to help him up from the floor. His eyes widened at the sight of her, instead of letting her help him up, he put his arms around her and hugs her tightly. He didn't want to lose her again. He didn't want her to disappear from his sight ever again.

"Bee! It's you, it's really you" he pants, and squeezes her into a tight hug.

Jimin buries his face in her neck. Taking in the scent he knew so well and he knew he wasn't dreaming. He knew this wasn't some kind of illusion. Bee put her arms around him too and clutches at the fabric of his hospital gown.

"It's me, Jimin" she sighs. He was awake. He was alive and that was all that mattered for now.



"Aren't you tired of looking after me?" Jimin asks, as he palms her tired face. Bee leans into his soft touch. His hands were warm and comforting. She gave him a tired smile but shook her head anyway. Jimin pats at the space on the bed beside him and she complies. Bee sits down beside him and rests her head on his shoulders, Jimin carefully sliding his hands in hers.

"Now it's your turn to get me to sleep. Once I get out of here, i'm taking you out on a date." Jimin says with a light chuckle. His chest shook as he did and Bee snuggles in closer to him.

"You should sleep now, Jimin. You need to quickly regain your strength and be strong for the both of us" she mumbles in his shoulder.

"Hm? What do you mean?" Jimin asks, but Bee quickly dismisses it, telling him it was nothing. Jimin let out a loud sigh as his eyelids were getting heavier. It was way past midnight and he was tired but he was glad that Bee was with him now.

"Hey, Bee?" he whispers to her. Bee looks up at him with sleepy eyes with a small hum. Jimin traces her pale cheek with his thumb and stares lovingly into her eyes. "I love you" he whispers and leans in to kiss her on the lips. It was chaste and tender, just the way she liked it.

We have to go now.

Ok.

Come.

Jimin woke up to the silent sound of chattering in his room. Bee was no longer beside him on the bed. His eyes were tired and hazy but he could still see something in the darkness of his room.

"Bee?" he calls out.

The small chattering stops. Jimin had no idea why, but a sudden chill ran down his spine. And it was no doubt the same type of chill he felt when last time he saw that... thing.

To his dismay, Bee emerged from the shadows but something followed suit from behind her. His heart races and he starts to panic. There was no way he was going to let this happen once again. Ripping away the blanket from his body, he jumps off his bed but since he was still so lethargic and weak, he fell to the floor with loud thud, clasping onto the area of his wound that was still stinging his abdomen.

"B-Bee. R-Run! Quick!" he warns her although breathless, but Bee didn't move  and just stood there with tears falling down her cheeks.

"I'll save you! I won't let him take you away this time! I promised you I'd keep you safe, remember? I promised you I'd take away all those bad dreams. B-Bee!" Jimin grunts as he tries to make a move towards Bee who was still standing there. The tall man behind her, stares down at Jimin with a mocking smile.

"I'm so sorry, Jimin" she quietly sobs and those were the last words he ever heard from her. The man behind her took her by the hand and they both vaporized into a thick, black smoke.
