labyrinth

Cloe's POV

So many stairs. So many ways. So many doors. How am I supposed to find him in this labyrinth?

I rushed down other stairs only to meet even more doors than on the level I've been on before. I sighed loudly, almost none of the dozen doors were labeled and if they were, it read something that I didn't understand.

After 15 frustrating minutes and a thousand unanswered calls to Jungkook, I was ready to give up and make my way back until I understood that I had no idea where I was. I was lost, great.

I ran through the staircases, trying to find the way I've come here but everything seemed the same.

Admitting that running from door to door like an idiot won't help, I decided to rest against a wall and sighed while sliding to the floor.

"Hey honey, what are you doing here?"

My head shot up at the voice near me and my eyes widened in relief. I've never felt so glad to be called honey before.

"Marc!!"

I jumped up and ran towards him, making sure he wouldn't just pass by.

"I'm so glad to see you."

I beamed at him, obviously relieved, not believing my luck.

"Oh, is that so?"

He joked with a wink. Okay, maybe not that glad.

"Oh no, I meant I've lost myself here. That's a freakin' labyrinth."

He tried to hide his laughter but failed causing me to punch his shoulder lightly.

"Hey! Don't laugh. Can you bring me out of here, please?"

He surprised his smile and made a gesture for me to follow him.

We made our way back through some corridor I didn't try before. The halls were empty and quiet. Only our footsteps were echoing through the silence.

"So how did you land here anyway?"

Marc asked me while he continued to walk in his fast pace.

"Uhm just- it's nothing."

We almost arrived at the exit of the hospital. I could tell since I started recognizing these parts of the building.

"You're sure?"

I could just go now, just like Namjoon and Seokjin did. Let Jungkook be Jungkook. I could be roasting Marshmallows above a campfire with Ley by now. Again, it was my fault that he is here in the first place.

"Marc?"

He looked up from his files that he started to sort by now, a bit surprised that I haven't left yet.

"Yes, Mrs. Wang?"

He hummed while focusing back on his files.

"How do you find Jungkook?"

A frown spread all over his forehead and I finally had his full attention.

"Seems to be a cool guy. Why?"

"So if you like him, would you help me?"

"Help you with what? Cloe seriously, I have patients waiting. What is it?"

I panicked when I saw another doctor glaring at Marc probably because he was talking instead of working.

"No, no stop, please don't go. I lost Jungkook. He was angry after an argument and ran into the big staircase. I tried to find him but couldn't. Now I don't know where he is, whether he already left twenty minutes ago or whether he is still in there. I-I need to know-"
