I FOUND FUTURE IN YOU | KM [✓]°

Jihyun had just stepped out of the bathroom, steam still lingering in the air as he quickly dried off and slipped into his sweatshirt and pants. He walked over to his bed, still feeling the warmth of the shower on his skin, and sat down. With a sigh, he grabbed his phone off the nightstand and began scrolling absentmindedly, his mind still foggy from the hot water. The soft buzz of a notification broke his concentration.

A message from his brother, Jimin, appeared at the top of the screen. Jihyun’s eyes focused instantly on the words. His face, which had been relaxed moments before, suddenly tensed.

Jiminie-

"I need help. Please come here and don’t tell anything to eomma and appa."

Jihyun’s heart skipped a beat. He stared at the message, his fingers frozen on the screen. He couldn’t remember the last time Jimin had asked for help in such an urgent way. His mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation. What could be so serious that Jimin didn’t want their parents to know? Was something wrong?

His thoughts scattered as panic started to settle in. Without a second thought, Jihyun quickly typed out a reply.

Jihyun-

"Call me right now."

He hit send, his stomach in knots as he waited for a response. A few tense minutes passed with no reply, and just as Jihyun was about to message again, his phone rang.

The caller ID showed Jimin’s name. Jihyun’s breath caught in his throat. He hesitated for a moment before answering.

"Hello, Jimin. What happened? Why do you need help?" Jihyun asked, his voice steady but betraying a hint of worry.

There was nothing but silence on the other end of the line. His heart began to race again. He repeated his question, his grip tightening around the phone.

"Jimin? Are you there?" His voice cracked, the worry bubbling to the surface.

Still, there was no response. The silence was deafening. Jihyun could feel the pit in his stomach deepening, his mind running wild with possibilities. What was going on? Was Jimin hurt? Was he in danger?

"Jimin!" Jihyun nearly shouted, panic creeping into his voice. "Please, say something."

The silence stretched on, and Jihyun’s fingers curled into a fist, the phone nearly slipping from his grip. His mind raced with fear, his thoughts scattering like leaves in the wind. He was about to call out again when he heard a quiet, familiar voice.

"I'm okay."

Jihyun froze, the tension in his body evaporating almost instantly. The relief hit him like a wave, his shoulders sagging as he let out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding. "Jimin," he murmured, his voice softer now, trembling slightly. "Where are you? What’s going on?"

There was a pause before Jimin spoke again, his voice almost inaudible.

"I’m in an abandoned park... xxx."

Jihyun’s stomach twisted again. The words abandoned park echoed in his mind, sending a shiver down his spine. He could hear the unease in Jimin’s voice, but it wasn’t enough to explain why he would be in such a place. It was late, dark, and the park was hours away from their home. Jihyun couldn’t understand why Jimin would go there, let alone be in a situation where he needed help and didn’t want their parents to know.

Before his brother could say anything more, Jihyun’s feet were already on the floor. The calm he’d felt moments earlier vanished, replaced with a surge of adrenaline. He threw the phone down on the bed and quickly grabbed his car keys from the nightstand. His hands shook as he fumbled with them, the weight of the situation settling in. There was no time to waste.

He rushed to the front door, barely glancing back to make sure he’d locked it. His shoes were still by the entrance, and he slipped them on in a hurry, feeling the leather tight against his feet. Each step felt heavy, as if the ground beneath him was pulling him back, but his focus was entirely on his brother. He needed to get to him, needed to make sure Jimin was okay.
