Death and Dying (A~ Got7 Fanfic)

Chapter 21 // Jinyoung

Jinyoung stormed down the hallways of the hospital, his fists clenched in frustration as he tried to contain his emotions. He focused his eyes on the white tiles below as he walked, nearly running into a patient in a wheelchair. He quickened his pace after that. In his current state, he should be nowhere near the sick and dying. Any little thing could set him off and he didn't want to randomly lash out at a nurse or something.

He walked through wide double doors, entering the hospital lobby, feeling a rush of relief. He was almost out of the building. Only a few more feet to go.

His head lifted to locate the nearest exit, the large automatic doors at the front. Just when he thought he'd found his escape he noticed the large crowd of people loitering in the parking lot. They were being held at bay by security guards, but just barely.

The crowd was mostly filled with females of all ages, waving signs and cameras wildly in the air. They were Got7 fans.

Jinyoung froze in front of the doors, not knowing what to do. Even with the chaos, fans at the front of the horde spotted his familiar figure past the glass. He could hear their screaming and the cameras started pointing toward him.

'Are you kidding me!?' he thought in annoyance.

They were there to "support" or show their "concern" for Bambam, but the display was more disrespectful than anything. There was no way Junior was going to make it past the crowd without being badgered with a million questions he didn't have an answer to.

He didn't want them to see him like this either. He was tired of acting like everything was okay and he was sick of playing nice with overbearing followers.

Turning around abruptly, he started moving further into the building. He needed to be alone. He needed to find a place where he could think undisturbed. Eventually, he found a stairwell that was completely deserted. Most of the visitors, patients, and workers used the elevators, so he felt that the stairwell was the best place to call sanctuary.

Junior entered the eerily silent space and let the door shut slowly behind him. He sat down on the nearest step and rested his face in his hands. His head was throbbing from how angry he was but it didn't hinder any of his bitter thoughts.

Bambam was dying.

He let it sink into his brain. One of his best friends was dying and he didn't even tell him. The idol had a disease that would kill him unless his love returned his feelings and the only cure was to get a surgery that would end his feelings forever. Knowing that, Bambam refused to get the surgery. He knew the consequence of his decision and he was accepting that fact. It never even crossed his mind that his best friends might want to know that they'd be losing him forever.

His eyes burned from the tears threatening to fall, but Jinyoung didn't want to cry anymore.

He thought he knew everything about the members of Got7. He thought that they trusted him enough to tell him when they had a terminal illness at least.

He was wrong.

He had been deceived into thinking that they were more than friends, that they were a family.

'I guess it was all bullshit to make the fans think we're close.'

Jinyoung flinched at the sudden sound of the door swinging open behind him. He scooted over on the stair to let the person pass him. He was surprised when the newcomer sat directly next to him instead.

"I've been looking all over for you."

Of course, if anyone was going to chase after him it would have to be Im Jaebum.
