The Walls Between Us [A Taehyung Story]

《 Chapter 6 : The Others 》

I stepped into the hallway and peered around. I noticed an open door, and became curious.

A little boy slept inside. He had a teddy bear with him. I looked at the wall to see what his name was:

'Jeon Jungkook [] Room C [] Recorder'

I blinked a few times confused. How are there more like him? I thought we were the only ones here. I walked inside and came over to the little boy.

"Wake up Jungkook." I whispered.

The little boy rubbed his eyes and looked at me. As soon as he saw me he hugged me.

"I new my eomma would be coming back! The nurses said so!" Jungkook exclaimed.

"Shhh... Jungkook-ah," I paused deciding not to tell him I wasn't his mother, because I honestly did not know. Even though he probably isn't mine. "Why are you here?" I whispered as I examined the tube in his wrist.

"Oh, eomma... You must meet this wonderful girl Taehee. I've only spoken to her through the walls and she repeats herself a lot, but she's so nice." He said, making me understand he was in the same situation I was in.

"Okay, I'm going to meet her then. Just go back to bed. I'll come get you in a little while, I promise." I said, not entirely sure if I would be able to keep my promise.

"Bye bye eomma!" He cheerfully before rolling his blanket cacoon back up.

I smiled at how cute he was before leaving and going towards the elevator. I pressed floor one, suddenly remembering the guards to the exit.

I got to the bottom floor and snuck behind the lobby to go to the end of the hallway. It had a door leading to an outside area.

I opened it and continued walking to get to the other side. Maybe then I would be able to meet that girl Taehee.

There was an identical hallway with an identical lobby and identical guards. Everything was the same.

I snuck past the lobby once again and entered the elevator. I went up to floor 2 and entered the first door on my right, the exact spot where Jungkook was.

A little girl slept this time. Like Jungkook I woke her up.

"Hmm? Oh, Hello. Are you my eomma?" She questioned.

"Uh, yes. You can't leave yet though, eomma needs to go get... Appa first okay?" I lied to her, just as I did Jungkook.

I felt terrible but I felt better when I new they would be happy for a little bit thinking their parents were going to save them. Well, at least I know I'm going to save them, if only I can save Taehyung and I first..

I came back to the lobby on my side and snuck behind the lady working at the desk. I looked at the different shelves she had and searched for something about the doctors working here and the patients.

I found two binders, one for patients, the other for doctors. It made me happy knowing I'm making progress but I'm not out of here yet, so I left to bring my notes back to Taehyung.

"Look what I've found! Isn't it wonderful!" I said running over to Taehyung.

"What? You actually found the binders?" He said with wide eyes.

"Yeah, now we might have a chance of getting out of here!" I said cheerfully.

Taehyung and I searched through the binders to find out everything we could.

"Tzuyu! Look what I found!" Taehyung said, catching my attention.

I looked over at him to see that he found what he assumed to be the only actual doctor here.

"Kim Haechul" He said as we looked at the binder.

'Doctor and scientist, Kim Haechul researches the human mind and their memory. He is currently testing on 10 subjects due to the small amount of space. He has designed a serum to block out memories and eventually make them disappear.'

'He also has the ability to remove and add memories to the subjects previous or current life. Unfortunately the government disapproves of his research methods and he is forced to work in secret.'

'Room: Z6'

That was all the information on the page. It explained a few things, but most importantly it explain where he was, so we could escape.

Unfortunately it was late at night. Taehyung and I were extremely weary, so we decided to sleep before confronting Dr. Haechul.

The bed in Taehyung's room was too small for both of us, but Taehyung insisted that he would sleep on the ground.

I protested slightly, feeling bad for him, but he wouldn't let me sleep on the ground.

In the morning I got up and prepared to leave and confront the doctor. Then when I was about to leave Taehyung reminded me that he can't leave because the tube full of liquid was connected to the wall. Without it, he would die...
