FIFTY NINE: SOMETHING

THIRD PERSON POV

"Namjoon.... why? Why did you try to kill them?" A girl stands infront of him. She was holding a stuffed toy in her arms, and she looked up at him with tears in her eyes.

"You broke your promise!" She cried, and Namjoon's eyes widened.

"You broke your promise so you're such a terrible brother! I hate you!" She shouts, and Namjoon covers his ears as he closes his eyes.

There were a mix of "I love yous" and "I hate yous". It feels like Namjoon is spiralling downwards, it feels like something is in his heart.

All these years, he's never been the same has he? He doesn't want to be anything, he doesn't know anything, he doesn't need anything.

He's just as hollow as the hologram he created of her.

"Namjoon! Master Namjoon!" DuoYi said, and Namjoon's eyes widened as he jolted up, there was cold sweat on his forehead, and he was numb, not the cold-kind of numb, that hollowless numbness he felt.

"Why...," Namjoon whispered, as he clutched the blankets he had covered around him.

"Why... do you hate me?" Namjoon asked, and DuoYi tilted her head in confusion as she looked at Namjoon.

Tears slowly rolled down his eyes, he felt like he was being haunted, being watched on, he felt like his existence was a lie, a whole dumb lie, ever since she left his life.

"Master Namjoon, your pulse is irregular, let me get you your medicine," DuoYi said as she buzzed out, and Namjoon sighed as he clutched his hair.

Every night, it was a dream about her loving her or hating her as a brother. He wasn't sure of life at that point, if what he's doing can atone for his sins.

"What do you fear, Namjoon? Can't you share it with me?" That was a question Namhee asks all the time.

-

"According to the records. This is the hospital. Though I am not sure if Namjoon and Cheonsim really are related, it doesn't hurt to connect these cases since she works at SAN," Soujin said, and Yeonjun nodded.

"This hospital has been abandoned since 2004. Now it's just a an old ruin that no one really claimed since it's also in Gyeonggi-do's rural parts, no one would really get business in these areas," Yeonjun sighed.

"Well, as she is a pediatrician, I am quite curious as to what her job really is. Considering she also works in a secluded rural area such as Gyeonggi-do is quite strange, knowing that people can't afford a huge hospital billing especially since most of the residents don't really get paid as much in Seoul, and would prefer the local community hospital near them," Soujin wondered.

"Now that I think about it, I did ask some of the people since I came here for spying reasons. The oldies said that Ms. Lee was a very introverted and smart lady who was always here early in the morning and would get out late at night," Hoseok said and Yeonjun sighed.

"It's better if we just find out what's going on in this building. No one really maintained this place ever since her passing," Yeonjun said and Soujin nodded as they walked inside the building.

SOUJIN POV

"I should also be asking something, Jungkook.... how did Namjoon actually know of Chemistry and all the tech things he does?" I asked, and Jungkook pressed his lips into a thin line.

"Namjoon was always a prodigy, he was smarter than anyone but lacks physical strength most of the time. He always said he used to be a normal kid, but I don't think that's the case anymore," Jungkook said and Yeonjun looked over at the rooms.

"Most of the rooms here are either trashed or full of dust. I mean, it was a long time ago. But nothing seems suspicious," Yeonjun said as he looked at the stairs.

"We should go upstairs. And we need to atleast locate Cheonsim's office, or other necessary files," Taehyung said and the others nodded as they proceeded upstairs.

"Hold on, wait," I said as I placed my black gloves on my hands, my eyes settling on a bin beside the table.

"I'm surprised no one did a search here in this place. Did they really just close this off and abandoned it?" I muttered as walked towards the bin, and there were crumpled papers in it in the same color, they were already wrinkly and yellow.

"Soujin, did you find something?" Yeonjun asked.

"It just seems strange to me. This bin is overflowing with the yellow papers hastily being shoved in. And nothing in this room has paper or books to begin with," I said as I took a crumpled piece of paper before opening it.

"Dr. Lee, have you recieved my gift? I do believe your thoughts and motives have gotten you too far in life. Did you know your husband is in an affair? You wouldn't want me to tell that to your strict family, would you?"

I read the letter carefully, there was no name of the sender, but it was clear that it was a blackmail.

Namjoon's father is in an affair? Is that why when she died, he married immediately and had Namhee?

"Dr. Lee, I have sent you a deal and contract. Ever since our first test subject has escaped, it is time to implement the system we discussed with the others last week. I hope you would be ever so kind as to house them in your hospital."

"It's pretty smart how this person typed and printed them instead of using their handwriting, it would be harder to trace such information," Yeonjun said.

"Dr. Lee, you haven't been feeling so good. Your sister sure is pregnant, with your husband's child. Now your parents think that your sister is having a child with her boyfriend, but it turned out to be your husband's. Don't ask how I know, I made sure you'll never escape. Not until you stop what you're doing right now."

"Wait a minute, Cheonsim's sister... is in an affair with her own husband?!" My eyes widened and Yeonjun looked as shook as me.

"That could be a reliable reason as to why she killed herself in the first place," Yeonjun said and I looked at the paper.

"Poor Cheonsim, it must be so hard for her. I mean, I don't know if she's a good or a bad person, but... no one deserves to be cheated on," I said.

"Then... the child that was brought by Cheonsim's sister, could turn out to be Namhee?" I asked, and Yeonjun nodded.

"There's no other reasonable explanation. Taehyung did say that Namhee was from a different mother, didn't expect it to be Cheonsim's sister," Yeonjun said.

Just as we were looking around the other letters, Jungkook's eyes widened as he suddenly grabbed my hand, and he neared his lips near my ear.

"Someone is also in this building."
