Chapter 16

It was 5pm, Jungkook came back to his house and saw his mother watching tv.

"Eomma, where's Jin?"

"Jin? He went with Taehyung"

"Where to?"

"I don't know, Tae came not long after you left and he took Jin away with him"

"Okay, I'll go to my room first" Jungkook lay on his bed, he thought about Jin, why didn't Taehyung tell him if he wanted to ask Jin out?

"Where are the earphones?" Jungkook looked for him to the bed and opened a drawer beside his bed. Then he saw Jin's shining necklace, the light was very bright. He took the necklace and called Taehyung.

"Hello"

"Tae, where are you?"

"What is it?"

"Is Jin okay?"

"Yes, what's wrong? We're walking in the mall"

"Are you sure he's okay? His necklace is glowing"

"Yes, he is in front of me, do you want to talk to him?"

"Yes"

"Hello"

"Jin, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine, what's wrong?"

"Your necklace, your necklace is shining"

"Ahh maybe the necklace is broken, I'm okay, I'll hang up the phone, oh yeah, I'll be staying over at Tae's house, so tell eomma not to wait for me, bye Jungkook" Jin hung up the phone. But Jungkook felt very worried at that time. He felt something wasn't right.

That night Jungkook couldn't sleep, he kept looking at the necklace in his hand, the light of the necklace was very bright, he still stared at the necklace until his mother came into the room.

"Eomma"

"What's that?"

"Eomma, it's just a necklace.." Jungkook tried to hide it but his mother grabbed the necklace.

"Eomma, give it back to me, it belongs to Jin"

"Where is he?"

"He's staying at Tae's place"

"Bring him back here, now!"

"What? Why?"

"Jungkook, if this necklace shines brightly it's a sign that his body is in a dangerous condition, please bring him back here"

"But it's already late, he said he's fine and wait.. how do you know?"

"I can't explain right now but bring him back here now, before you lose him forever"

"What?"

"Jungkook, please just listen to me this time, I will explain to you after you bring him here"

"Okay fine, I'll bring him here" Jungkook changed his clothes and rushed to Taehyung's place, it was already 11 pm, he had to take a taxi because the last bus had already missed.

He reached Taehyung's house and rang the bell, his father came out.

"Jungkook, what's wrong?"

"Mr. Kim, is Taehyung inside?"

"Taehyung? He said he's staying at your house"

"What? Ahhh, yes I forgot, he must have been waiting for me at home, I just wanted to pick him up"

"What are you up here?"

"I'm taking a taxi, excuse me Mr. Kim I have to go home, Tae must have been waiting for me"

"Okay, be careful Jungkook" Jungkook rushed to go and call Taehyung but his number is not active.

"Ohh shit!! Where did you guys go?" he said.

Jungkook looked for a place where Taehyung might go. He knew that his best friend rarely went out at night because he didn't like staying up late.

Jungkook kept looking and it was 3 am, he decided to go back to his house on foot. Until the phone rang, it was from Taehyung.

"Hello, where are you guys! Why are you lying to me huh?"

"Jungkook..."

"Tae, what's wrong?"

"Please come to The Royal Hotel now, Jin.. his body is very cold and he has convulsions, I'm sorry he asked me to promise not to tell you this, I've tried to warm his body--" Jungkook hung up the phone and went straight to the hotel that.

When they got to the lobby, Taehyung walked over to Jungkook and led him to his room.

"What happened to him?"

"I don't know, after seeing you and Jimin at the Han river he became like this"

"W-what? You guys saw me and Jimin?"

"Yes, I've tried hugging him without clothes but his body is convulsing and getting colder, I don't know what to do, he always says he wants to go home, please Jungkook I don't want him to die" Jungkook saw Jin's body on the bed that was not wearing clothes, and only covered with blankets.

"No, he won't die, I won't let him die" Jungkook pulled the covers off, undressed him and got on the bed, he carried Jin's body in his arms, hugging him tightly.

"Hey, I'm here, please stay with me, I need you, stay with me please" Jungkook whispered in Jin's ear and kissed Jin's forehead with tears on his cheeks.

"Jungkook.. please tell me he will live" Taehyung said, his hand was shaking.

"Yes, he will live, he will not die like this"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please stay with me, just remember, when we kissed on Tae's bed, when we kissed on my bed and when we kissed at the bus stop, remember Jin, Please just remember, i need you, please stay with me, that kiss means a lot to me, please" Jungkook buried his face into Jin's neck and cried.

Taehyung just stood and cried, watching them both on the bed. He doesn't want Jin to die. He didn't want to lose his best friend.
