JUNGKOOK'S POV



"Wait, is Jimin involved in this?", I asked but Tae had hung up. I had to do something but  didn't know what to do, the best thing would be to talk to Ha Eun about it, since she knows. I decide to call Jimin and check up on him, though somewhere I knew this was a big thing going on and I was anxious of how I would face it and tell Taehyung. I still managed to dial his number.

It kept ringing for a long time, and Jimin always received my calls in just one ring, me and Tae had a special bond with him since we were the youngest. I was thinking over whether to cancel the call when he finally received it.

"Annyeong Jiminie, how are you? Its been ages since we talked" I said at a stretch, my heart beating fast as to what he would say "Who are you?" , someone with a bold voice said, it wasn't Jimin and I was clueless on how to reply back. "Umm, I am Jimin's friend. May I know who you are?" I asked hesitantly. "You don't need to know who I am and Jimin is not here" he angrily said. I wanted answers from him and if not now then I won't ever get  them from anyone else.

I try to gain confidence and talk to him "What do you mean by he isn't there, this is his number and why isn't he receiving it" I said boldly. "Kid, be careful of whom you are talking to, You better not mess up with me" he said as if he was the most powerful person, I lost it and answered back "First of all, I am not a kid, and who the hell are you to tell me what to do? Tell me where is Jimin?!" I scream, I was scared but this is the least I could do.

"You are asking for trouble...Well I don't mind now, Jimin is out of your reach" he said along with evily giggling through the phone, wanting to make me scared. "You don't know me, so if you want to keep me hanging like this, you will regret it later, and I will assure you on that. Jimin will never be out of reach, I know he is right in front of you!" I said and this time he went silent, I was proud I could make an effect on him.

"Very smart kid, you really have that nerve to talk to me like that, pretty cool. Well you are right he is right in front of me but do you really want to talk to him" he said laughing making me go really angry. "I am not scared of you, I want to so give it to him" I said gathering up the courage I have. "He isn't the same person, you know. And who are you, who is being so confident about him." he said. "My identity is not important for someone like you to know, knowing you would me more interesting" I said.

"I'm can turn your life upside down and destroy you completely, I guess that's enough. I want to have some fun so here talk to your beloved friend Park Jimin" he said, by now I wasn't scared of anything he said "Give"  I yelled. "Yeobseyo?" a faint trembling voice, it made shivers run down my spine. "Jiminie, are you okay?" I said, I knew he wasn't okay, nothing was okay. "Who are you?" he said and that was the least expected question, then suddenly I thought that he knows me but is pretending in front of that jerk.

"What is happening Jimin? I know you are in trouble. Please tell me" I said, tears filling up my eyes, I was worried. "I am alright, and don't bother me anymore. I have no relations with you from today so don't ever try to come near me" he spoke in the most rude and harsh way I had never heard before, and before I could say anything he disconnected the line.

I couldn't hold back anymore and started crying, I didn't know anything that was happening, and what was all this about, does anyone else knew about this...thousands of questions ran across my mind and the biggest one was whether to tell anything about this to Taehyung and If I should, what should I?

I had to go back to Seoul at the earliest but I had my work too, I was stuck in between all this. I decided to finish the project as soon as possible, and return back Seoul.

*

I went early to office today, and looked into everything as usual. I started working on my project and even called Ae Jin to come early.

*

"Annyeong Jungkook.. well why did you want me to come early today, any emergencies ??", she asked. "No, umm actually yes, I'll be leaving for Seoul in a week and you will represent me and handover the project files" I said.

"What? Why?! Is everything alright? Did something happen to Ha Eun?" She continued but I abruptly stopped her "how many questions will you ask at once? I know what I'm doing, so don't question me anymore" I told her very rudely which made her surprised and she stood dumbstruck at my sudden rude behavior.

It wasn't  intentional but early in the morning , who asks so many questions plus my mind is already preoccupied by so many  things, I just got irritated.

She quietly left and I let her because of how awkward the situation had become. I clearly wasn't in the mood of being here or working. I had to tell it to someone but who?

*

I was busy doing work when my phone ringed, I check and it's Ae Jin, I receive her phone "sorry for what happened in the morning, I should have considered before asking so many questions. I was too surprised and.." she started but I interuupted her because it was my fault "I'm sorry too for being so rude. You know I didn't mean it but if it still hurted you. Forgive me" I aplogised, "Jungkook-ah, come on I understand. I am all cool. Well let me first tell you why I called, out of the three phases, we had completed 1 phase before the accident and in just one week the second phase is done" she happily gave me the good news.

"That's a good news, so only the final security lockdown phase is left right?" I asked. "Yeah and then testing, we haven't done that at all", she said since it is important to fix the issues while it is small, here we didn't even a have run through of the system. "Right, good you reminded me I completely forgot. Inform everyone about today's meeting at 11:30 AM and then we can check working of the project together." I told "Okay" she said.

+AFTER THE MEETING

"Jungkook, can you wait for 2 min", Ae Jin called out to me when I was leaving the conference room "Sure, what happened?" I asked. "I'm sorry for asking this, but can you leave for Seoul after submitting this project. I don't think I can do it and I don't want anything to get messed up because of me" she looked down of nervousness and her fingers entwined in fear. "I trust you Ae Jin. It all depends on me since I'm doing the final phase. I'll try to finish it in 2 days and submit it before the deadline" I said and her face instantly lit up.

She left and then I went back to my office and started working, I decided it would be a surprise for everyone even though things were complicated. I had missed everyone's birthdays but I would be there for Christmas and Tae's birthday after 2 long years, and it was the best way this year could end and I was beyond happy.

***

After having breakfast, Hyung had left and then I made Ha Eun go to hospital as well, since I was better now. I slept the whole day and she kept calling me during her breaks to check if I was doing better.

+

It was around 9:30 and I was laying on my bed and going through the files I brought over related to Park Min's Case, , this had been the longest time I took to solve the case and arrest him, maybe it was because of the complexity around it. I was still sick and couldn't work as usual, which disturbed me a lot. On the other hand, Jimin I didn't want to think about him for some time because every time I did, I got worried and I had a feeling that something was suspicious.

After a while, my eyes started burning and I was feeling really dizzy so I kept those files and went to sleep.

+

Door bell rings

I heard the bell ring twice and I thought Ha Eun might have the keys so I didn't get up and went back into my blanket when she ringed the bell again, so I finally got up and lazily went towards the door and opened it.

"Sorry for disturbing Taehyung, I forgot to take the keys because you pushed me to go to the hospital" I was lazy to answer so I gave her a nod and went back to my room to sleep. She didn't ask me anything else thankfully. I was closing the door when she came and stopped me.

"Yah! What do you want?" I asked her "Are you okay? You face looks very pale" she looked worriedly at me. "I'm fine except for a bad headache and my whole body is hurting" I said and she looked at me at smirked, I wondered what that was for. "I see you are fine with all those things" she said giggling, she looked really cute and I being the idiot started smiling too.

"Taehyung, stop overworking so much, I know its difficult but first get well and then do what you have to. Do you want me to tell Oppa again?" I looked at her and she was really serious.

Do you really care for me that much? I thought and then realized that I had to answer her before she called Hyung "Aani, I will listen to you okay? Now stop scolding me" I said laughing. She then went to her room and got me medicines. "Here eat this and sleep well, don't even think about studying your files or even using you phone, I'll keep checking on you" she ordered and I was surprised, "Arraseo, relax Ha Eun, wait why do you still call me Taehyung?" I asked her "I'm so used to it but don't worry I'll call you Tae." She smiled and left.

+

2:30 AM

It suddenly became very hot and I woke up, took of my blanket and tried sleeping but I couldn't so I thought of drinking some water, I got up from my bed and walked out to the kitchen, I noticed that I was really dizzy and my head throbbed in pain. I took a glass of water and was walking when everything blacked and the last thing I remember was the loud noise of the glass shattering on the ground.
