The Hotel Room

•••••

The plane lands and I get off quickly with the rest of the boys. Kookie and Tae still look hurt, but they look better, so I guess the sickness goes away after a while? "Tae? How long have you guys been feeling sick for?" He looks at me then says, with an innocent expression, "Not long. Only the day before yesterday, yesterday, and today... 2 days." 2 Days? Oh well, the last person, Jin, will be well before the concert. I might still have to go to the hospital to get them looked at first though.

But, Jimin's effect, it seems, is wearing off quickly; he's already playing around with Kookie, V, and Suga. They seem more hyper now... Even Suga, the one who only sleeps, hasn't slept since we woke him up a long while ago. Jin is acting immature, as if he's drunk. "They're acting strange, Rapmon." J-Hope says. "I know," I reply, "Just don't touch them... No matter what... This sickness is crazy." He nods in agreement. J-Hope is acting way more mature than Jin.

"Don't take us to the hospital, Hyung," V begs, then continues, "We're perfectly fine. I promise. We'll explain everything later. When we get to the hotel, then we can talk." "Okay," I reply, "You better." We get into the car and Jin is acting drunk along with Jimin. They're teasing J-Hope, trying to poke him and stuff like that. He drops his phone and Jimin picks it up and won't give it back.

I think I made a mistake... I should take them to get checked out... But Tae asked me not to and he would explain everything later, so I trust him... For now. J-Hope gives up and just sits there staring at them taking stupid selfies. 'Aish, those kids.' I think to myself. We arrive at the hotel and everybody is handed their keys to their rooms. I'm busy signing them in and they all run into the elevator, all except J-Hope, who stays with me.

We walk into the elevator and go up. When we get to our floor, me and J-Hope find a big black feather. "Wow." J-Hope says, picking it up and letting me hold it too. I examine it for a second and start to feel a sharp pain on my back, J-Hope does too. "This was probably one of their's." J-Hope says, pointing towards them standing outside their doors. I arch my back, holding my shoulder blades, then get down on my knees, which turns into me laying on the ground, writhing in pain. Next thing I know, I hear some voices shouting and coming closer, then everything in my sight goes black.

Me: "OMG! Are you going to the concert too?" Someone random asks after I get out of the airport. She is standing at a taxi, looking at my backstage pass that I'm wearing around my neck. "Y- Yeah." I answer, stuttering. "Where did you get that? I didn't see those online." She asks me. "Namjoon." I answer. She smiles and nods, she obviously doesn't believe me. "Come," she says, holding out a hand, "You can ride with me. Are you staying at any hotel in particular?" I shake my head. "Okay, good. You're coming with me because I have an extra bed in my room. I bought a room for two and only I came. Name's Persephone, by the way." She smiles. "Hi, Persephone, I'm Alala." I say. "Call me Perse, okay?" "Okay Perse." I answer, smiling. I get into the taxi with her and it drives away.

RM: "Hyung?" I hear a voice say. I open my eyes, slightly, everything is blurry, then my vision comes back. "Ugh," I say, wincing in pain while trying to sit up, "How- How long have I been asleep?" I lay back down, resulting from the overbearing pain, and look around the room. It's really dark, I can only see a bright light shining on me. I'm in my hotel room? Why didn't they bring me to the hospital? What Happened? "Don't worry, Namjoon, all of your questions will be answered as I explain, like promised." V says. Jungkook says, "It's okay, Hyung. You're fine. Just listen." I listen as Tae looks over to Jungkook, who is giving him encouragement to tell me about what's going on.

He clears his throat and starts, "Okay. Um... So, when we were out one night, remember how y'all couldn't find me? I told y'all I went to the bathroom, but that's only because I didn't want y'all to worry. Where did I really go? I got lost and walked to where there was nothing around. Nothing except the air, the stars, the moon, the dirt. I had no idea where I was, nor where I was going.

"I tripped, fell and hit my head. When I woke up, I saw someone, or something, with black wings standing in front of me, looking at me, laughing. I asked him if something is funny. He said 'Yeah, you and the other members are punished.' I asked him, 'What do you mean?' He just laughed and flew away. I never understood what he meant, but I heard y'all from a far distance calling my name, so I ran to your voices and found y'all.

"When we got back to the dorms and I was getting changed for bed, I looked at my back in the mirror. It had blood dripping from my shoulder blades. I had no idea what just happened. If I died, if it was a dream, if I was going crazy, so I just had Jungkook put a bandage on my back and that's when his back started hurting too. I looked at his back, the same thing happened to him. It was bleeding and I put a bandage on his back also.

"We went to bed like nothing had happened, hoping it was a dream, and when we woke up the next morning, we looked in the mirror to see wings, a pair of big black wings attached to our shoulder blades on our backs. That's why we didn't come out at all the other day. We didn't eat, drink, or even talk to you guys.

"We found out how to hide the wings for now, you just have to concentrate really hard, which is something you're good at. Or... There's a gift, but we'll explain it later. Someone as smart as you are is quick to figure this out. You've been asleep for the past 2 days, and your wings are amazing." I look at the wings I have behind me and say, "What's going on? How did this happen to me?"

They turn off the bright light that was blinding me and turn on the room lights. I see everybody around me standing, looking at me with their wings and their shirts are off. "We are only contagious to each other. We were lucky, I guess." Jin says. 'Boy Meets Evil' is repeating, over and over again in my head. This boy met evil. And if I ever find out who did this to V, Imma kill him... Or her. His/her blood, sweat, and tears will be all over my hands, and Wings.

I look at my reflection and stare at it. I look like crap, my eyes are red and swollen, my cheeks are puffy, my hair is crazy. I turn around and look at my back... Blood is crusted on my shoulder blades. It actually looks pretty cool. "Everybody else already explored a little bit with their wings and we learned that to rip a feather out hurts like pulling an arm hair off."

"Well, isn't this just great. How can we do a concert with all of this pain? And wings? What are ARMYs gonna think?" I say. Taehyung looks down and murmurs, "This is all my fault." I watch V looking down at the ground and say, "No, Tae. I'm sorry, it's my fault. I should've been a better leader for ARMYs and for y'all, but nope. I can't, no matter how hard I try, I'll never be perfect. I'm sorry about this guys." "The pain goes away completely after 4 days, Namjoon. You're only at day 2." V says.
