Scarlet Letters

Chapter 2

Yoongi had so much questions flying around his mind while walking to the counter to buy the book, and because his head was floating on cloud9,  he didn't realize he's already on the counter and had bumped onto Namjoon who was currently paying

"Ouch, Hyung that hurts, are you ok?" Namjoon asked.

Yoongi slowly nodded his head while staring blankly ahead, "I'm back hyung, we have to go to the hospital---what's wrong with Suga-hyung?" Jimin asked with a confused look on his face.

"Don't mind him, what were you saying about going to the hospital?" Namjoon said turning towards Jimin with a paper bag on his hand. They took a quick glance at the dumb-struck Suga before talking.

"I don't know either, Jin-hyung was talking really fast but he said something about Taehyung eating a lot and stuffs I really couldn't understand him." Jimin said while shrugging his shoulders. 

Once Yoongi was done paying they all went inside the van, Namjoon and Jimin kept talking about their comeback and if Taehyung was going to be alright while Yoongi was still lost in his own thought, biting his nails out of habit.

Where could So Min be right now? 

Has she been alright?

Does she still know me?

Did she change?

Since when did she start writing book?

She does she have a boyfriend?

Did she change number? Why hasn't she contacted me?

Do I still want to see her? Am I even allowed to see her?-- wait--- what kind of question is that? Maybe we can, I mean we were friends...bestfriends.

"Hyung!! Snap out of it! We're here!" Jimin hysterically shouted while shaking Yoongi's lifeless shoulders.

"I'm okay! Stop shaking me!" Yoongi snapped at Jimin. 

He quietly stepped out of the van followed by the Namjoon and Jimin. They quietly stepped inside the hospital. 

Namjoon ran towards the nurses and asked politely, "Excuse me, where is Kim Taehyung's room?"

"Kim Taehyung? The one rushed to the emergency room and can't stop vomiting chicken?" the nurse question. 

Well ain't she a gossiper? Namjoon thought

"Uhm, yes? " He asked answered hesitantly. The nurse told them the room so they came rushing in inside the private room where Taehyung was lying down on the comfy bed. 

Jimin rushed by Taehyung's side and held his hand dramatically, "What happened to him?" luckily the doctor came in with the results 

"Good afternoon boys, I'm doctor Kang. Taehyung has appendicitis and needs to be treated immediately." The doctor explained, "Unfortunately there is so available room in the operation room so we postponed his surgery til tomorrow morning...No need to worry he's not going to die, he just need to stay in and he'll be 'temporarily' fine. Oh yeah, he's not allowed to drink nor eat." 

Though the doctor assured them, you can immediately see the worried look on everyone's faces, "By the way, he will be confined here until his operation and after his recovery okay? I'll leave you boys alone for now" With those remarks she left the room leaving the boys looking really worried, they all looked at Taehyung who was quietly lying down. 

"Taehyung-ah~ are you feeling okay?" Jimin asked sweetly while placing his hands on Taehyung's thighs.

Taehyung slowly turned his head to look at Jimin. "Do I look okay, ? Jimin-ah, Do I?! I'm not allowed to eat and and I have high fever and my stomach is killing me every now and then and ask me if I'm okay?!" He snapped at Jimin.

Everyone in the room became fell silent and stared at each other wondering why was he acting weird when he was fine moments ago.

Everyone's shoulders slumped and their faces had pity and worry written on their faces. They want to ease his pain somehow. Calm him down and cheer him up.

But while everyone was looking at the floor, they heard a weird laugh coming from the patient himself.

 "Hahahah gotcha! Yes, I'm fine. You guys and go and eat or something if you want, I'll just sleep" He said before covering his whole body and face with the blanket. 

Jimin blinked several times wondering what happened moments ago..."Yah, Kim Taehyung--" Jimin was ready to blindly punch Taehyung under the blanket but Jin was quick to act, 

"Jimin-ah. " Jin held Jimin's shoulder, "Don't hurt him more, LET'S JUST BUY STRAWBERRIES AND EAT IT INFRONT OF HIM" 

Everyone agreed and one by one step out of the room except for one.

Yoongi. 

He sat on the chair next to Taehyung's bed and opened the book he bought. 

"Scarlet Grey's : Love Gone Wrong 

Introduction: 

Have you ever felt like the one you like actually likes you too, but they doesn't show it the way you want it? Like that person gives you signals that you're not sure if it means anything? 

Well It happens. It actually happened to me...I thought he liked me but everything was a mess it was like a life in a roller coaster, It was a Love Gone Wrong" 

Yoongi read out loud not even caring if something would hear him.

As he read the first line he already wanted to stop. 

This is too cheesy, I think the only ones who enjoyed these are the girls..." 

He decided to close the book but someone spoke out, 

"Hyung, don't stop reading. I'm listening" Taehyung pleaded removing the blanket from his face.

"I thought you were sleeping" 

"I was about to but you suddenly read out loud and it intrigued me" He explained, "Now read the book please, I want to listen" He pleaded again trying to act cute.

"Why don't you read it yourself then" Yoongi handed the book to Taehyung. Taehyung stared at it for a moment before opening it. "Fine I'll read it to you then. But you have to promise that you'll listen to every word..." Taehyung said.

"No promises" Yoongi said in a poker face.

"Hyuuunnngg" Taehyung whined while shaking Yoongi's shoulder. 

"Ok, ok I'll listen to every word. I PROMISE" Yoongi gave in to Taehyung's cuteness. 

"ALRIGHT! Okay, Chapter one..." Taehyung began to read with a smile glued on his face. 

"It was stormy afternoon when I met him..."
