Yoongi's POV

I sat down in my favourite coffee shop with a cup of Americano in front of me. It has only been three days, and I'm already struggling. I do absolutely everything to distract myself, but Jimin just pop into my mind wherever I go, whatever I see and whenever I have nothing to do.

I try to occupy myself with work, but the plots I write is inspired by real life situations, and that remind me of Jimin.

I try to go partying and clubbing, but going by myself just reminds me that I am alone without Jimin.

I try to hang out with my friends, but they all have jobs during weekends so they can't just hang out with me whenever I feel bored. And if I can't hang out with them on weekends either because they have their own plans with their wife/husbands, boyfriends/girlfriends...whatever.

I try to get a new hobby like basketball, but when I jump and realize I can't reach the basket, it reminds me of the short height that Jimin has.

I try listening to music every second of my day, but nowadays songs are all about break up and exes and stuff like that.

Nothing works, and my body, especially my chest, would always hurt whenever I think about Jimin. I'm starting to get used to it, but whenever I think I can start to cope with it, it just gets more painful and unbearable.

Today I can finally talk with the botanists. They were very busy during my stay in the hospital, and I'm glad I can learn more about my situation. But most of all I can spend my time talking to them instead of thinking about Jimin.

Two people walked into the shop side by side and I recognize them because of Jin's descriptions. I stood up and bowed slightly to get their attention, then we finally started to talk.

"Hello, you must be Yoongi, Namjoon and Jin had been talking about you." The one with pure brown hair talked, so I assume he is Hoseok.

"Yes, and you are Hoseok right?" I shook his hand that was reached out to me and smiled slightly. He nodded at my question and smiled too.

"I assume you know my name too, but I am Taehyung." He smiled too, and his smile looks like a rectangle, which is quite funny and weird at the same time. "I am so sorry that you got poisoned by the flower of love. It must hurt a lot."

I winced at the sudden pain on my chest. He just reminded me of Jimin again.

"Ow!" Hoseok punched him and looked at me apologetically.

"You can't just say that! You reminded him of his lover again you idiot!" I flinched again when he said 'your lover', but I forced a smile.

"Let's just start talking about the flower instead of me, alright?" Thankfully they nodded.

"So are you sure you have no clue at all about the cure?" I asked.

"Yes and I am so sorry about that. I guess I can only say that time heals all and you will soon get used to the pain." Taehyung answered.

"No it doesn't work like that you idiot." Hoseok said to Taehyung. "I'm sorry Yoongi, but this poison doesn't work like this. Maybe you can cope with the pain when you think about your lover, but once you get back to him and look at him or do anything more, the pain gets worse and soon you will not be able to handle it." I saw Taehyung wince a bit, and I think Hoseok stepped on his feet under the table or something.

Anyways I kind of expected that answer as I experienced it myself, but I refuse to give up just like that.

"But there has to be something right? Just the slightest idea? A piece of the puzzle?" After I asked the question I realized that the two botanists were fighting and only stopped when they heard me.

"Nope, not a clue. Sorry man." Taehyung answered. I can't expect anything from him can I.

"Shut up Taehyung. That's not how you treat your clients. I'm sorry Yoongi. I actually heard a rumour in our work place a few days ago. I don't know if it's helpful though." Hoseok said. At least one of them is helpful.

"Really? Tell me please, I think everything would be helpful in someway." I took a sip of my Americano out of excitement.

"Well, I heard another botanist talking about the next generation that knows about the flower's legend. And if I heard correctly the family that they were talking about is a Jeon family. They will definitely know about the cure. So I guess you can start looking for that family." Hoseok said.

"But there are so many Jeons in Korea! There are 687,867 people with the surname Jeon, how am I supposed to find the correct one?!" (a/n Yes I researched it so it's not a made up number) I almost screamed.

"I haven't finish yet. I also heard them say that only a child is left in that family. Well not exactly a child, a teenager almost in his adult years. Some girls say that he is also really handsome apparently."

"Well that didn't make it easier for me to find the right Jeon but thanks for your help! I really appreciate it." I said sincerely, and I am really thankful for that because they also helped me forget about Jimin for now.

"Wait it's a really handsome guy? And he knows the cure? Why didn't you tell me about this Hoseok?" Taehyung shouted, making everyone in the shop stare at us with the deadliest glares.

"Shhh!!!! And why would I tell you anyways? I don't want him to get stalked by a creep." I frowned at Hoseok's words.

"Yes, can you believe it Yoongi? He thinks that he will fall in love with the person that knows the cure. He is super gay it's unbelievable, and he is definitely stalking that Jeon if he founds him." Hoseok saw my confused face and explained.

And I just laughed. I think I just made some new friends and I spent the whole afternoon with them. I even got their numbers. It was awesome. I have a feeling that I am going to find the Jeon they are talking about and he is going to help me.

I'm not giving up on Jimin because of one stupid flower, I'm going to prove how much I love him. I'm willing to do anything to get Jimin back.

Jimin's POV

I saw the selfie I took with Yoongi on my lockscreen and I almost threw it against the wall out of anger. It's been a week since Yoongi and I 'separated', but I still cry myself to sleep every night.

Namjoon and Jin tells me about how he is looking for a cure and that he is fine almost everyday, and I think that's the only good news right now.

Time heals all.

Fuck that quote. That's a bunch of bullshit. 7 days, 168 hours, 10080 minutes, 604800 seconds. That's a lot of time, but instead of getting better I cry harder and longer every night to fall asleep.

I grit my teeth and feel sweat rolling down my face, my hands want to clench into a fist but my phone is blocking the way and I almost crush my phone because of that.

The vibration of my phone startled me.

I looked down and Namjoon was calling. I didn't want to answer considering my stress right now, but he is my friend after all, and what if he needs help again?

Curse my personality.

I sighed as I picked up the call.

Almost immediately I heard the familiar deep voice of my friend.

"Jin is missing."
