In His Red Pants (BTS) [Discontinued]

Chapter 4

I could hear distant mumbling but I can't make out what was being said.

Where am I?

I attempted to open my eyes. No matter how hard I tried it was still dark. Why am I not able to open my eyes?

"S....y... ca... n...a"

I can somewhat pick up sounds now but not exactly comprehend what was being said. It was still very dark and I'm unsure if the room is this dark or if my eyelids aren't opening.

I open my mouth to speak but nothing would come out. I felt myself begin to panic.

"C... hea.. pl..." The mumbling/distant sounds continued. I couldn't tell who the voice belonged to but I listened closely, hoping to understand.

"Nara... havshsj..." I heard my name! The rest of what was being said was mumbled but I definitely heard my name.

There was a loud ringing in my ear that grew louder and louder...

Suddenly the ringing stopped.

"Can you hear me?"

"Nara?"

"Nara can you speak?"

Everyone's voices were clearer now. I could hear my parents' voice. I attempted once more to open my eyes. I felt a bright light blinding my eyes as I managed to slowly open my eyelids.

"She's waking up!"

"Nara can you see me?"

"How many fingers am I holding up?"

"Are you okay? Can you hear me?"

When my eyes finally adjusted to the bright light I recognized my mothers face. I saw other unknown faces surrounding me.

"W-where am I?" I finally spoke.

"You're in the hospital sweetheart, are you feeling okay?" My mother held my hand tightly as she ran her fingers through my hair.

"I see." I sound weak, barely able to speak.

I looked around at the unfamiliar faces.

My mother noticed my confused face. "Oh this is Hani—Jimin's wife." My eyes widened. She was really pretty. She had long hair and pretty features.

"This is Jimin's youngest daughter." My mother pointed to the other girl. She smiled at me. She looked younger than me but not by too much.

I heard voices behind the faces surrounding me. My mom turns around and I see my dad speaking to ... Jisoo?

They both look at me. I smiled at my father as he made his way to my hospital bed. Jisoo came closer... Wait—that's not– "Meet Jimin! He's been dying to meet you."

My father made way for Jimin to look at and speak to me.

"Annyeong Nara!" He squinted when he smiled... Like Jisoo.

Just then, Jisoo walked in. "Jisoo, come here. Nara woke up." I was extremely confused as Jimin called for Jisoo. "Nara, this is my son, Jisoo. He's the one who brought you to the hospital."

'My son'? Jisoo brought me to the hospital?

Jisoo gave me an awkward smile

"Hi Nara" there was an awkward atmosphere between us. "How are you feeling?"

I forced a smile, "Somewhat better, thanks."

"It's funny isn't it!" My father broke the awkward silence that came after. "Who would've known Jisoo and Nara went to the same high school!?"

Jimin, Hani and my parents laughed. Jisoo and his sister gave an awkward laugh. I just stared, surprised.

Jimin looked like an older version of Jisoo.

"She resembles you a lot Tae" Jimin chuckled and suddenly everyone's attention was on me.

"She's making the same blank stare you used to always have on back in the day."

My dad laughed, "Jisoo is like an exact replica of you when you were younger."

Again, they all broke into laughter.

The nurse came in with a clipboard. She asked me a few questions on how I'm doing and to rate my pain from 1-10. After, she starting updating my parents on how I'm doing. "She should be able to be discharged tonight."

My parents thanked her and she left after refilling my IV bag.

"Sweetie I don't want to burden you with questions but I'll just ask this one, who did this to you?" My mothers face was filled with worry and concern.

The memory of the whole incident was a blur, "I remember a girl asking to speak to me. We were at the rooftop and she-" I paused after remembering the things she was saying about my dad and her mom. I wasn't sure if I should mention it.

"-she just said some stupid things and before I knew it, she was on top of me."

"She was suspended, I wasn't sure if you wanted to charge her or take this to court so I left that for you guys to decide." Jisoo spoke up.

Oh yeah, he's the one who saved me. I wonder how he found me and contacted my parents. My heart fluttered imagining him carrying me to the hospital.

"What are you smiling about?" Jisoo's sister teased at me. Her Korean was a little broken. "Nothing.." I smiled shyly. Little does she know that I'm falling for her brother.

~~~~~~~~~

My father finished filling out the discharge papers and came back to push my wheel chair. I could walk but the nurses said it's better to not stand or walk for long and they recommended I be put in a wheel chair until tomorrow.

We got to my dads car which was parked besides Jimin's car. "Do you guys want to come over for a bit?" My father suggested to Jimin. "It's sad that this was how we had to meet again after years of not seeing each other."

Jimin looked at his wife for approval and she smiled, nodding, "That sounds great! You guys can catch up on things and I can get to know Hyejin better."

Everyone was in an agreement.

My father helped me into the car and we drove to our home with Jimin following behind in his car.

~~~~~~
"No!!"

"No!!"

"Noo!"

I woke up after having a nightmare. I dreamt that I was in a completely white room. It was really warm and empty, but I kept hearing my parents screaming, shouting for who-knows-what.

I looked around and realized I was still in the car, alone. I looked out the window and my eyes widened at the sight. My mom was on the ground crying and Hani was hugging her and patting her back. Jisoo's sister stood by speaking to my mom. My father, Jimin, and Jisoo looked like they were having a serious conversation.

That's when I noticed... Our house. It was all black. The doors and windows broken. Shattered glass spread across the front porch. The walls blackened by... smoke?

Our house was burned down.
