Echoes Of Unspoken Connections

26. Life or death

"DRUGS?" Taehyung yelled loudly. Namjoon nodded his head and patted Tae's shoulders to calm him down. "This drug, which is used by him is not very dangerous but has adverse affects. By using this, the person tends to get angry easily and might do something violent" Namjoon explained.

"What kind of stupid drug it that?" Taehyung exclaimed as he hugged Yoongi. "Is that the reason you were getting angry and lashing out at us for every small reason" Jimin asked and Yoongi nodded his head. "I am sorry" he apologised again.

"No, hyung. It's not your fault, it's that stupid Taemin's fault. I knew it, something might be wrong. I know Yoongi hyung won't scold me" Jungkook stated and pouted a little.

"So, what about that person?" Aecha asked. "For now, I removed him from his job" Yoongi replied and Aecha nodded her head. "That's better" she replied and looked at Namjoon. "Will it have any effect on Yoongi? Does he need to take any tests?" she asked.

"The doctor told that there is no need to take any tests. Yoongi hyung will be completely fine. No need to worry about that" Namjoon explained. "That's good to hear" she said and caressed Yoongi's hair.

Just then, Byeol and her father entered the home with the former licking the melting ice cream to prevent it from falling. She looked at them and waved her hands. "Hi" she said and sat on the couch.

"Is anything serious? All of you look tensed" Wooshik asked as he sat beside Aecha. Namjoon explained him everything and Wooshik got shocked to hear it. "What would he get from doing that to Yoongi" he asked being confused.

"Yoongi is a public figure. One wrong move in the public or towards the staff or co-workers, it would spread like wild fire. People would hate on him for rude behaviour. I think the criminal decided on hurting Yoongi mentally rather than physically. Atleast that's what I assume" Namjoon answered.

"I think so too" Yoongi said in a low voice. "By the way, Byeol" he uttered and looked at her. "I am sorry for my behaviour that day. I didn't mean to yell at you. It was just because of that stupid drug. I remember, I entered home while drinking coffee" Yoongi apologised again as he still felt guilty to treat her badly.

"It's fine oppa. I forgave you long back. And now knowing that you really didn't mean it, I am not angry at you" Byeol said with a smile and Yoongi smiled softly as well.

"Eomma, how's the situation at the company?" Taehyung asked her, still clinging to Yoongi, against to the elder's choice but he has no other option.

"The situation is very bad Tae. Many people lost their lives and many of them are still in the hospital fighting for their lives. The company is bearing all the medical expenses and needs of the people, that's the least we can do. We offered few jobs to the families of the workers who lost their lives in the blast but they denied saying that they don't trust us anymore. Even the public lost trust on us. The sales have been decreased rapidly and currently, it is running in losses" Aecha explained to them.

"It sounds really bad" Jin said. "Eomma, if you need any help, you can definitely ask us" he continued. Yoongi also nodded his head agreeing to him. "Thank you so much boys but I think there is no need for that" she said with a soft smile.

All of them spent some family time by talking to each other as they didn't do it since so many days. They offered support and strength to each other in hard times like this. Hoseok and Byeol still avoided each other, as Hoseok was still suspicious of her. Byeol didn't dare to talk to him as she was afraid of the hurtful words she might have to listen again.

As they were talking, Jungkook's gaze went towards Byeol's phone. "Did you buy new mobile?" he asked as he widened his eyes as it was a newly released model that he also wanted to buy but he doesn't have enough money to buy it.
