Devil's Breath

1.

It was a rainy april afternoon. The clouds were a dark gray colour and it seemed like they wouldn't leave any time soon. The rain was hitting the ground hard and sometimes even hale would hit the ground.

There was a black mustang driving through the rain.

"Ah, for real thank you hyung! The rain came out of nowhere!" Jimin said as he sat in the passenger seat.

"Well, it didn't really come out of nowhere. It said in the news that it would rain today." Namjoon chuckled as he drove to their apartment.

"Then it's Jin's fault for not giving me an umbrella!" Jimin said, it seemed like the answer pleased him cause he nodded his head.

"Oh my! How dare he!" Namjoon just laughed and played along.

"I know right! I am so totally gonna call him out when we get home!" Jimin started to laugh too.

The rest of the ride was spent laughing and listening to whatever CD they had found in Namjoon's car.

When they got to the apartment complex, they sprinted from the car to the doorstep but they were still soaked despite their best efforts. Namjoon punched in the code and the door made a clicking sound. The pair quickly ran inside and went to the elevator.

"Do you think everyone else is home yet?" Jimin asked while they rode the elevator to their floor.

"Probably not, I think it will be just Jin."

The rest of the ride was filled with elevator music and silence. When they reached their floor, they quietly got off and went to unlock their apartment.

Inside it was quiet and the lights were off. Namjoon flipped on the lights and the apartment became illuminated.

"Hyung, we're home!" Jimin yelled, there was no response.

"He must be asleep." Namjoon said. The two shrugged and went to the kitchen. There was food on the counter with a note saying 'eat dinner' attached to it.

"Aww, I will go ask if Jin wants to eat with us." Namjoon said and walked to Jin's room.

Knock.

No response.

"I'm coming in." Namjoon said and opened the door. The room was dim, almost no light. Jin was passed out on the floor, clothes and all. Namjoon chuckled. He squatted down next to Jin and lightly shook his shoulder. No response.

"How is it possible for someone to sleep so hard?" Namjoon said and shook Jin's shoulder harder. No response.

"Hey, wake up!" no response.

"JIN!?" Namjoon called out. No response. Jimin had became concerned and peeked through the doorframe.

Namjoon's fingers quickly went to Jin's neck. No pulse.

"Jimin call 119. Now." Namjoon said firmly. Jimin didn't even wait a second and called the ambulance immediately. Namjoon just clued Jin's hand, not believing that this was happening.

"You're gonna be okay Jin." Namjoon whispered as tears started to roll. Suddenly, Namjoon felt very dizzy and nauseous.

"Hey, is Jin okay?" Jimin asked with a nervous laugh.

"He's dead Jimin." Namjoon's voice sounded so weak and broken.

"Haha, please don't joke like that hyung." Jimin laughed. Jimin squatted down next to Jin.

"Come on hyung! Stop pretending!" Jimin said and playfully hit Jin. Nothing.

"Come on!" Jimin roughly shook Jin's shoulders.

"Jimin, stop." Namjoon told him weakly.

"No! Wake up!" Jimin grabbed Jin's shirt collar and shook him. Tears had started to fall down Jimin's face but he just ignored them.

"Jimin, please, stop." Namjoon breathed out, his voice was so weak and his sobbing was making it hard for him to say anything.

Jimin let go of Jin's shirt, the lifeless body hit the ground with a thump. Jimin just stared at the body, not moving or anything else, he just stared. Namjoon just kept crying next to Jin. Soon the ambulance and police came.

The medics came into Jin's room, their shouting sounding muted in Jimin's and Namjoon's ears. They looked for even the faintest of heartbeats but there was nothing. It was official. Jin is dead.

Namjoon felt like vomiting.

The medics called the coroner office. The police asked the both of them questions. They both gave answers they don't remember anymore.

When the coroner came, they inspected the body and said that the cause of death was probably suicide but they probably needed to do an autopsy to be sure.

They took Jin's body and Jimin and Namjoon were left in a broken state, later to be discovered by their friends.
