Caught In A Lie | A BTS Fanfic

CHAPTER 11

JIMIN

I grabbed her as she fainted. Her hair falling around her, her lips slightly parted and tears streaming down her face. I was on my knees with her in my arms and I didn’t know what to do, I had asked if she was okay and she had looked at me in confusion before her eyes had closed and her legs had given out beneath her.
‘Guys, help me!’
Everyone rushed out of Namjoon hyung’s room and helped me lift her up, taking her back in her room as she stirred slightly. Namjoon hyung pushed me out of the way to get to her, holding her hand as she opened her eyes.
‘Mina, you okay? What’s going on?’
He was speaking in English but I could understand him a little and I could feel the urgency in his tone, like he knew her and was really worried about her.
She was looking around at all of us in confusion and then her eyes zeroed in on Namjoon hyung and her gaze softened, they definitely knew each other and when she started to sit up she was only looking at him. He smiled at her and then turned to look at us.
‘Guys, can you go to my room for a minute please?’
All of us looked at each other, half of us shrugging but making movements to walk back to hyungs room. I leaned against the wall when we got there and we were all silent for a minute. Hobi hyung spoke first.
‘Anyone else confused by this whole situation? What have we just walked into?’
‘Maybe this is why he left?’ Taehyung wondered out loud.
‘He would have told us if something was going on and she’s clearly not Korean, he couldn’t have known her there.’ I said to them. They all nodded and went back to silence.
‘Should we go get our rooms sorted? Are we all staying in this cabin?’ Suga hyung asked and I shook my head. My room was across the way and Jin hyung alongside Jungkookie were staying there too. The three of us grabbed our luggage and made our way across to our own cabin.
A bit later I was lying on my bed thinking about everything that had happened within the last couple of weeks.
Namjoon hyung had disappeared all of a sudden and none of us could make sense of it. He was the last person we would have expected to leave the way that he had and we had all panicked. From the time of our debut all of us had, at one time or another, wanted to run away or even tried to run away but the others had known about it. This was the first time that no contact had been made in any way and we were left adrift, he was our leader and without him, we really had no idea what to do or where to go. No management had known either. They said his cards had last been used across a few ATMs and then nothing.
Yesterday our messages had gone through on the group chat meaning that he was finally online and we had all bombarded him with phone calls and messages to ask him if he was okay. He had told us that he had needed time and space but that he was okay and he wasn’t abandoning us. Suga hyung had been the only one to talk to him on the phone and Namjoon hyung had let slip that he was in Finland. From there it hadn’t been hard to find him, he was notoriously bad at keeping secrets any way and when we knew which country he was in, guessing what kind of place he would be staying in was easy. Somewhere quiet, without the fear of being recognised and without the chance of paparazzi being close by. The lodge was one of the first places we checked and found him.
Jin hyung had tried to tell us to leave him be but to be honest, we had felt abandoned. We were confused and angry and we needed answers from him. When we had arrived he hadn’t been as angry as we thought he would be, he was just sad and I supposed a little disappointed in Suga hyung too. The thing was that we couldn’t leave this as it was, we had shows to prepare for and practices that had been scheduled but cancelled because of this. All of us had the thought that he had decided that he had enough and didn’t want to be part of the group anymore, honestly, we were scared.
Who was this woman too? Mina, I think he said her name was. We had never heard the name from hyung before and really I didn’t know what to make of it, it wasn’t like he had never had girlfriends before; he had even had a fiancée that had left him scarred but this was weird. Had he really just met her here and decided to pursue something? The looks that had been exchanged between them were familiar and he had wanted to be alone with her. I couldn’t blame him, even when she had walked out of her room before fainting, I had the fleeting thought that she was incredibly attractive. I couldn’t call her beautiful, instead there was something about her that had made me stare, maybe it was something like a vulnerability. She was pretty. She had really beautiful eyes, even when they were full of tears and confusion.
In the middle of my thoughts Jungkook walked in to sit down next to me, normally smiling and joking around; this time he looked quite serious when he looked at me.
‘Do you think Namjoon hyung will come back with us?’
‘He has to, he can’t stay here forever.’
‘What about the girl?’
‘Who knows, has he ever mentioned anyone to you? You talk to him more than I do.’
‘Before he left, all he said was that he felt tired and he was finding it hard to deal with everything going on at the moment. I told you guys this.’
‘I know but I’m still struggling to understand how he did this. If he knew her before, was this all his plan to leave us? What if she’s the same as Serena? He was broken after that.’
‘Hyung, we won’t know until we all sit down to talk to him. If he’s with the girl right now we’ll have to wait until later to sort this out. You want to go out for a walk in the snow?’
