Chapter 72

The shadows had slipped from his nightmares and had imprisoned him with his eyes open, in the familiar to him void that he so much hated. That empty feelings and despair to escape had penetrated him whole, to the point that he had found himself unable to distinguish if he was conscious or unconscious.

His chaotic surroundings as the ambulance had arrived at the hospital with you having stayed by Namjoon's side, along with the doctors that had rushed to his aid once he was placed in a room. Every sound they had made, Namjoon had not heard nor he had seen them yet he had felt every touch on him, making his anguish grow deeper.

It took some sedatives for him to fall asleep, allowing the doctors to run checks on him to determine his condition while you had remained at a corner, slightly terrified with what you had to witness as well as worried for him. You sure couldn't understand what was wrong with him but you didn't try to make assumptions while waiting for the doctors to give a diagnosis. Instead, you had informed Jin, as he was the only relative you were aware of that Namjoon had and he had rushed to the hospital in a matter of minutes after your call, bombarding you with questions which you could not fully reply.

The both of you had spent the rest of your time, outside pacing down the corridor silent to each other, with the exception of some sporadical exchanges of glances that had left you feeling more responsibly over the situation than you should have been.

"You are sure that nothing worth mentioning happened?" Jin broke the silence after a while, for every time he was to look in your eyes, he felt like there was something you wanted to speak off but you were holding back.

"Look...it may have nothing to do with it. I don't know what his condition is but...prior...he had a relatively intense conversation with Elle." You admitted, reluctant of your words for you didn't want to make it sound like Elle was at fault for this outcome in any way. After all, no one could have guessed that Namjoon was to feel unwell just some hours after.

"Intense conversation?... Is that the reason why she is not here right now?" Jin took a step closer at you and you looked around before informing him of everything that had gone down between Elle and him and how everything had ended with her permanent leave from that office.

"He is crazy." Was all Jin commented over his brother's actions as he left an exhale of frustration and started pacing from right to left again, this time displaying in his face irritation and not just worry.

"Relatives of Mr Kim Namjoon?" A nurse's voice drew the attention of you two and made you both run towards her only for her to tell you to follow her to the room where they had brought Namjoon at.

Once inside, your eyes fell on his figure who now seemed calm, his head resting on his pillow as his eyes were looking towards the window, not even bothering to turn his head to acknowledge the existence of his brother or yours.

"What's the matter, doctor? What's wrong with my brother? Is it serious?" Jin threw his eyes at his figure and returned his attention to the doctor, guessing that from the moment that Namjoon was not willing to face him, then something must be going on with him for sure.

"We run all the checks up needed. He is physically perfectly healthy. His brain has no physical damage whatsoever yet his experience sure was real. We have concluded that it's a psychological issue. After seeing his records and considering his state of amnesia, my colleague of the psychological department from which we just brought him from, has concluded that the repression of his memories has concluded to a trauma that had brought him to this episode...We suggest avoiding stress and pressuring situations as well as anything that could possibly trigger any memories of his traumatic past events." The doctor looked over at him once or twice with a sympathetic look as he spoke then he made a small bow with his head and signalled the nurse to leave and so they did.
