24. Possibilities

"Jin! Huimang!" Taehyung almost kicked the door down, bursting into the house and shouting whilst carrying a delirious, wailing Jungkook.

Hoseok and Huimang were the only ones in the living room and both jumped up at the loud noise.

"What happened?" Hoseok run to them, putting his hand on Jungkook's face. "Tae! He is burning up! I'm going to get Jin."

Hoseok run towards Jin's room, whilst Huimang seeing the state of the boy, urged Taehyung to take him to his room as fast as possible.

Taehyung run up the stairs, holding the boy close to his chest, while Jungkook kept crying, loud sobs ripping through his whole body, tears running down his face, mumbling incoherent things.

Taehyung laid him on the bed and Huimang rushed in.

"How did this happen?" she asked, sounding angry.

"I-I don't know. We were just kissing and then.. then I bit his neck and suddenly he started crying, asking me not to leave him," Taehyung's mind was all over the place, struggling to make sense of the situation.

"Where is Jungkook," Jin rushed in, followed by Hoseok.

Huimang looked at all of them desperately. "All of you get out! Out. Now! Taehyung, you stay."

The others hurried out.

"Huimang, wha- what is happening to him?" Taehyung stuttered, finding it impossible to speak calmly. It wasn't even an hour ago that the idea of Jungkook slipping away from him numbed his existence. And now, this scenario seemed a bit closer, a bit more possible, a bit more unbearable.

The woman ignored him and sat down next to the weeping boy.

"Jungkook," she took the boy's hand in hers, "can you hear me?"

"Taehyung," the boy cried, "please.. I- I love you.. don't.. leave..I- I'll d- die.. please.."

Huimang closed her eyes shut, letting her head drop forward.

"Huimang what's going on? Please do something, please!" Taehyung shouted, begging the woman, panic and fear intensifying, making his body go rigid.

"Hold his hand," the woman ordered him. When Taehyung grabbed the boy's hand, she placed two fingers on the younger's forehead and leaned into his ear, whispering something Taehyung couldn't hear.

Slowly, Jungkook's sobs calmed down and the tears stopped. The boy kept muttering the elder's name but soon enough that stopped too and he seemed to fall asleep.

"What.. what was that Huimang?" Taehyung's voice was weak and shaky, his worried eyes stuck on the boy's face.

"Where is Yoona?" Huimang asked.

"What?" Taehyung looked at her, not understanding the woman's change of subject.

"Stay here, Tae. I'm going to get you something to drink and then we will talk," she smiled reassuringly and left the room, going to the kitchen.

"What happened?"

"Is he okay?"

Hoseok and Jin looked at her hopefully.

"He is okay, let them both rest. I'll get us all something to drink and we will talk," she smiled and glided down the stairs to the kitchen.

She took out two bottles of Soju and looked inside her pockets for a little black pouch. She opened both bottles and took some powder out of the pouch, ready to throw it in when she realised her hands were shaking. She put the pouch down and tried to breath, her breath coming out heavy. She gritted her teeth and sniffled before she raises her hand again.
