Until You Found Me - A YoonKook Story

Chapter TwentyEight - Medicine

Jungkook's Pov

  Hours later, Marcus and I arrive in Yoongi's room. He looks at us, confused as ever. "Who.. are you guys?" he asks. I squint my eyes and laugh nervously. "What do you mean Yoongi? We were here yesterday."

   He looks at me as confused as ever. "I don't remember.. that," Yoongi says. Marcus looks at me, confused. Jimin appears once again, and fake smiles at us. "Hey boys, you came to see Yoongi again?"

   I squint my eyes. "Yes, we did. How come you're always here?" I ask Jimin. "I'm here to take care of him. I'm not sure if he has any relatives to take care of him," he says. I walk over to Yoongi.

   I sit down beside him and ask "Yoongi, do you remember if you have any other relatives to come take care of you? Parents?" I notice Yoongi starts to think, but Jimin quickly asks "Yoongi, are you hungry?"

   Yoongi immediately smiles and nods as he looks at Jimin. "Here, I made some soup last night, I made it for you!" he says as he puts the bowl in front of him. I grow closer, getting a strange scent from the soup.

   "Yoongi, can I have a taste?" I ask. Jimin immediately takes the bowl from Yoongi and smiles nervously. "This soup is for Yoongi, and only for him. Would you mind backing off?" Jimin says with a smile.

   I squint my eyes and ask "Why can't I have any? What's in it?" his smile fades away and says "o-oh well it's medicine for his headaches... you don't have a headache right now, so you don't need to take it."

   "Why would you put medicine in his soup without letting him know?" I ask Jimin, wondering and only to see if I can get under his skin. He laughs nervously, and says "I know that Yoongi trusts me... right Yoongi? Don't you trust me?" Yoongi looks up at him and nods.

   I sit closer to Yoongi, saying to him "you shouldn't accept such things without knowing what they contain. Alright?" Yoongi looks at me softly, yet nods. I smile and I notice Jimin putting his soup away.

   "Seriously.. why is this such a big deal to you? He trusts me, that is what matters! Yoongi, you shouldn't be talking to strangers that way. What if he's trying to take advantage of you? Have you thought of that?"

   Yoongi looks at Jimin and shakes his head. I get up angrily, walking over to Jimin. "Why'd you put your soup away? If you had nothing to hide, surely you would've let me taste it, wouldn't that be fair?"

   Jimin glares at me but takes his soup back out. "Fine, go ahead and try it." He pours some out and hands me the cup of soup. I smell it, no longer getting the strange scent. That's strange... I think to myself.

   I smell it again, only to get a faint smell of the strange scent. I look at Jimin, then back at Marcus. "If this gets me sick later, you'll know who's responsible," I say to him. He nods, and Jimin impatiently for me to drink.

   I sigh and drink the soup, giving it back to Jimin. My head suddenly gets this sharp pain, and I groan as I hold my forehead. I feel pain spread in my head, but it quickly goes away.

   I look at Jimin, who's smirking. "I'm still alive, dickhead." I glare at him. He laughs but says "I think you should leave, I noticed Yoongi is getting sleepy." I look over at Yoongi and notice he's laying back down.

   I look at Marcus, and he nods. I sigh and walk to Yoongi. I sit him back up slowly and pull him into a hug. "I'll see you tomorrow, then," I say and remove myself, leaving with Marcus.

   An hour later, I'm experiencing a bad headache. I'm laying in bed, feeling very hot. I'm starting to think I have a fever. Marcus is checking my temperature. "Shit.. you have a fever, dude.."

   He shows me the thermometer. My eyes widen, and I sigh. "Marcus.. while I'm sick, please find the truth. I have a feeling Jimin is putting high doses of anesthesia on Yoongi..." Marcus gasps.

  "Why do you think this?" I roll over in bed, sweating profusely. "Yoongi didn't know who we were when we walked in, yet I visited him yesterday. How did he forget that so easily?"

   Marcus thinks for a moment and nods. "You've got a point. I'll do it, for the safety of Yoongi." I give him a thumbs up. "Thank you, Marcus... Now I'm going to take a nap..." I say to him. "Alright, Goodnight," he says.

Marcus' Pov

   I leave the room, and drive my car back to the hospital Yoongi is at. After checking in, I go up to his floor and sit outside the room. If I want to solve this mystery, I need to take matters into my own hands.
