Misconception

🖤

Taehyung

My mind raced through a thousand possibilities, I bet it was faster than my car right now. According to the location Jungkook sent me, I should be there in around twenty minutes, but that's too long.

I stepped harder on the gas and paved my way between the other cars, their horns resounding in the distance.

Chris said they were headed to the hospital after the police informed them that they found a Lamborghini flipped upside down on the outskirts of the highway.

They dragged a girl out of it, but her face was garbled they weren't able to distinguish whether it was Iris or not.

Tears blurred my vision at the possibility that it might be her. It can't be her...

"I can make it look like an accident", the voice surfaced.

If something happened to Iris. I'm going to kill them with my bare hands, and I'm not taking into consideration that she's my friend's wife.

"And nobody will ever know." 

"Fuck!", I hit the steering wheel with all my force, taking out my anger on it.

"I let them hurt her! I didn't do anything to stop them!"

I'm angry at myself. I left her to protect her, but it backfired. I'm trying to be close to keep her safe, and that's also blowing up in my face. Why am I doing everything wrong?

A few moments later, the blue lights of the hospital came into view.

I hung onto the last nerve I have left and rushed inside.

The sterile smell of the hospital and all the doctors running around didn't help in calming the erratic beating of my heart.

I controlled the dizziness that was threatening to make an appearance and dialed Chris's number.

"Where are you?", I didn't recognize my voice as I spoke. It felt gruff and deeper than it has ever been.

"We haven't arrived yet. Have you?", he didn't hide his concern this time.

"Yes. I'll check with the doctors."

"We'll be there in a few", he finished.

I headed to the reception and asked, "A girl came in from a car crash a while ago?Where can I find her?"

"Yes, sir", she confirmed. "Are you a family member?"

"I'm her boyfriend."

A pitiful expression took over her features and she gestured for me to follow her.

One moment we were crowded with the traffic of the hospital, and the next moment we were walking in a painfully silent hallway where the only sound I was hearing was the intense thrums of my heart.

Everything around was white, except for a six-letter word written in thick bold black letters.

Morgue

My legs halted. I couldn't move.

My breath got stuck in my lungs, which didn't ease the tightening in my chest. My hand flew to my heart, to keep it from falling, it twisted in an agonizing throb, I felt like someone stabbed me multiple times.

I directed my vision to the bold letters again, in hope that what I saw wasn't true. Although tears welled in my eyes, making my sight unclear, the bold word stood out, shining in the center of the wall.
