Just One Day [Taekook]

52) The Bitter Truth

"What should I do now, Hyung? My Kook, he was just abandoned somewhere, thrown away like garbage. Why did they do that, Hyung? What if he was alive and could've been saved if they hadn't just left him on the roadside? How am I supposed to tell this to his family, Hyung? I will kill them. I won't leave them for this." Minjae said, breaking down crying. They were back at the hotel now, where Namjoon was trying to calm the crying male in front of him.

Ever since they came back from meeting the person who had stolen the ring, Minjae had been crying non stop, blaming him for everything and Namjoon felt helpless. He wished he could've just killed that motherfucker, but unfortunately they still needed him, or else he would've happily let Minjae beat him to death. Namjoon was also thinking about the same thing Minjae was thinking about. How were they going to tell all of this to everyone back home?

"You need to calm yourself down, Jae. There is still a lot that we don't know and I promise you that I won't rest until we find the answers to all of our questions. But, for that I need you to be strong and control your emotions. If for nothing then atleast to find Jungkook's body so that his family won't have to visit an empty grave."

"How am I supposed to calm down, Hyung, when I have lost all my hope? When I didn't know the truth, I could atleast pretend that he was alive and happy somewhere. But now? Now what am I supposed to think? I can't do this, Hyung. I can't tell them the truth."

"Jae, I know I can't give you any words of comfort and there is nothing I could say that would make you feel any better. But accepting the truth is better than living a lie, no matter how painful the truth may be. And right now Jungkook needs you. He needs you to find him, so that he can finally be at peace. He deserves that, no matter how much it'll hurt you and everyone else. He shouldn't be left like an orphan at some abandoned place to rot."

Minjae knew Namjoon was right. His Kook doesn't deserve the hand he was dealt, but his heart was breaking into a thousand pieces when he thought about never meeting the love of his life ever again, because once they find his body, it'll be all too real. No more hiding behind fantasies or denying the truth. And no more hope.

"I'll do whatever you say, Hyung. I can do anything for my Kook, even if it kills me." Namjoon felt his heart break for the male in front of him, but there was nothing he could do for him. His only hope now was to find Jungkook's remains and give his family a chance to give their final goodbyes and maybe closure.

"Woah, I can't believe this. You quit your job and now you got offered a new job in its place, a much better one with a hefty paycheck at that. You are one lucky motherfucker you know that. And you even managed to get rid of Mr. Ahn and her entitled daughter as a bonus. Talk about shooting two birds with one stone." Hobi said, getting impressed.

"Hobi is right. As much as your plan of opening your own clinic was also a good one, I feel this is a much better opportunity for you and you get to be your own boss while doing what you love. But still, it will be a big change from what you are used to. Are you sure the hospital doesn't have any ulterior motive behind giving you this job? I mean why would they choose you instead of a paper pusher? I'm sure they would have many in their arsenal." Yoongi asked, being suspicious.
