3 : Legal Guardian

"What the hell happened to Jimin??!" asked the male furiously standing abruptly from his swivel chair at the informed news.

"He just fainted Sir, other than that he is good. He might need a few days rest also." informed the Manager.

"Few days rest??! He is not even getting a one-day rest from me! Did you hear me ??!" yelled the male.

"Please Sir, he is overworking so- "

"As he should. He should be making in more and more money for me like he is doing now." said the male cutting off the Manager's plea.

"Sir, I think a few media people got to know about his health already. It wouldn't look nice on the company if the fans got to know about him working without a break." pleaded the Manger with the last straw he had. Media.

.

The male was not appreciating how this conversation was going. He had the irritation to strangle this Manager alive here itself. But he composed himself. Taking a few breaths. Exhale. Inhale.

.

He gave a quite severe look, with a hidden warning behind his orbs as he spoke turning to the Manger.

"Fine. Listen, he will get one day for rest which is exactly 24 hours, if I get to learn that he took even one additional minute other than this for resting, I will burn you alive. Did you get that?!!" said the male in a very dangerous low threatening voice.

"Yes Sir, Thank you." said the Manager bowing as he left the CEO's room quickly. The Manager didn't even look like he cared or heeded the threat he was just given.

He doesn't want to expend even a single minute with that old hot-headed man if it's not necessary.

The members of Red Locks were lounging beside and around Jimin, waiting for him to wake up. Jimin was taken to their company infirmary, and he was given a few basic medicines and was put to take some rest.

"What was Jimin doing in the lobby alone Hyung ?" asked Eunwoo cracking the pregnant silence.

"I don't know, woonie, when I came he was just lying on the floor unconscious. Do you know how terrified I got?" asked Jackson recollecting what happened.
.

"But hyung, what about that jacket? Are you sure that's Black Shadow's group jacket?" asked Seongwu curiously.

"Ah! That one, yes I am sure, it has their company logo on it with their Band name," confessed Eunwoo.

"How did Jimin end up getting a jacket from them? Where did he go? Where was he ?" asked Seongwu perplexed, how the patterns are not fitting.

The others just shrugged their shoulders not knowing what explanation they should allot to the youngest.

Even they didn't know.

.

When they heard some commotion and chattering outside, Jackson recalled something turning to them.

"Guys, where did you hide the jacket?" asked Jackson hastily.

"I kept it on the shelf underneath, it's not obvious at first glance," said Eunwoo assuring Jackson.

"It would be a problem if Ki-young hyung gets to notice this. We will deal with this by ourselves," said Jackson.

.
.

But amid their tension, waiting and conversation they flunked to notice that Jimin was awake the whole time, with his eyes blinking away the drowsiness.

He smiled lightly, thinking about how his members are trying to save him from his troubles.

.
.

"H-Hyung." came a raspy voice from the bed, following a tired yawn.

"Minnie? Thank God you woke up," said Eunwoo gaily as he approached Jimin.

"How are you feeling bubs?" asked Jackson helping Jimin to sit up straight, as they chatted a little aiding Jimin.

.

"We should notify his guardian bro," said Eunwoo as they strode past each section through the corridor as he scanned the piece of paper in hand.

"You mean his parents Hyung? They are in Busan, right? Is he going back to Busan for one day ?" asked Seongwu confused.

"I don't know boy, Ki-young Hyung gave me the sheet regarding Jimin's home in Seoul, and asked me to call this number to inform them," said Eunwoo as they both finally arrived at the foyer.

"We could just drop him at his home, right? Is it mandatory to call now ?" asked Seongwu nudging Eunwoo.

"Don't mull over it a lot Seongwu, let's just finish what's been asked," educated Eunwoo.

A situation like this hasn't happened for many years now, last time something like this emerged he was sent back to Busan, but now they were more famous, successful, rich and mature enough to take care of themselves and have their apartments in Seoul.

Jimin never really discussed having an apartment nor he ever travelled there as much as they know, so it was natural for them to feel a little protective over their little brother.

.
.

"Did you guys call? asked Jackson walking up to them.

"Nah."

"There are multiple numbers Hyung, I am just confused about which one to call," said Eunwoo.

"Wait a second, Ki-young hyung gave me a ring and told me it's the last one. I don't know who is it, but try phoning it," said Jackson grabbing the paper from them.

"Last number? Mmmmmmmm......
Yes!!! Got it!!, it's penned JK underneath right?" asked Eunwoo as he finally got the told number.

"JK? I don't know. Just call them quickly boy." said Jackson bewildered.

.
.

The triad waited in silence as the call left, but to their dismay, the other didn't pick up the call.

.

"But seriously, who is JK? Do you know anyone like that ? " asked Seongwu staring at the phone number.

"Seongwu!" warned Eunwoo.

"No, like to be honest I haven't heard anyone like that from Jimin. So.." said Jackson.

.
.

"And the only JK everyone else knows is that famous member of Black Shadow, Jungkook right? " asked Eunwoo joking simply.

"Yeah" chuckled Jackson.

"Seems like Min has his own other JK too." chided Seongwu.

But before they could speculate more into the matter and resource, the number they dialled a minute ago called back.
