"Where am I?"

Taehyung came to a stop in the middle of yet another hallway, panting from lack of oxygen.

When Jungkook had told him to get out, he hadn't paid much attention to where he was going.

He only needed to get away from the angry, and vengeful alpha and he had done just that. 

Except now that his mind was functioning normally and not under the grip of panicked haze, and fear like it was earlier , he couldn't quite remember where the exit was located.

Everywhere he turned, the same white door and endless hallways stared back at him. 

The people passing by, some nurses, some doctors, the occasional patient walking around, all of them - either ignored him or gave him a weird look, as if his presence was a rare occurrence.

Could they smell Jungkook's scent on him? 

The alpha was a well-known individual after all, having connections with powerful political figures, and celebrities. And the center where Taehyung was stranded right now, was one of the top renowned hospitals, in which admission of common folks was practically non-existent.

Were they realizing he wasn't one of the rich guys, and wondering what a commoner was doing in midst of the celebrities?

Maybe...maybe not-

Taehyung raised a hand and sniffed at his shirt.

No, he couldn't pick out any peculiar scent that could point to Jungkook. He could only smell his own sweat and body odor.

Another passing look from a doctor, made Taehyung realize, it must be his clothes.

He was careful to hide the bloody claw marks on his shirt with his hand every time he passed by a nurse or doctor, but maybe some of them had noticed it...? 

No one had approached him with a helping hand, though.

Taehyung leaned against a closed door to catch his breath, and allowed his mind to play the previous scene before him.

Jungkook's dark rage, punching holes into his face, that clawed hand pressing down on his chest, Taehyung didn't know how he had survived it all.

If it weren't for Yoongi saving him in the nick of time-

No.

Taehyung shook his head. He wasn't going to think about it anymore. He was safe now, out of Jungkook's reach, and the next thing he needed to do, was go back home.

The nurse must have helped Jimin out, and his friend should have reached home by now...right?

He pulled out his phone and looked through the last three messages. There was nothing new from Jimin, no text or call from the guy, and if he was being honest, Taehyung wasn't really expecting it either. 

He had knocked Jiminie unconscious, when the omega had vehemently argued against going out to meet Jungkook. His actions weren't going to be forgiven that easily.

And knowing that guy's temper, Taehyung was sure, the omega was waiting for an opportunity to yell at him again, once he got back home.

Taehyung wasn't ready for another fight with his best friend, but it couldn't be helped.

If he stayed here, there was a possibility, Jungkook might see him again, and bash him up for good. Then, even Yoongi wouldn't be able to save him.

With a sigh, Taehyung dragged his feet to the nearest information desk, and watched the person behind the counter give him a look.
