Alive II Yoonmin

37

Three fist pounce softly on the white door in which to other side stands the answers to if not all but most of the owner's problems. We wait impatiently for the door to open so that we can bombard the male behind it with questions. When it does open though, he is the one to start the questioning. 

Jimin looks surprised to see the boys besides me but he was even more surprised to see me. He struggles to find words to speak for he stares at me as if he was staring at a ghost. 

"W-What are you doing here...?" He asks. "I thought Hoseok-"

I interrupt him. "We need to talk."

He tries his best to hide the obvious look of suspicion. Jimin looks back into the room he's in as if not wanting us to see what was past it. It was ironic considering I was in there just hours before and seeing he was still in a robe, he had been there the entire time. He looks back to us with worried looks and tries to talk again but he's beaten to it.  

"Everything alright Jiminie?"

At the voice all becomes clear. Jimin bites his bottom lip but not as if ashamed that the truth was out, he seemed more worried by the fact that the voice was recognized. I needed not to look besides me to my companions to know that they too were aware of who was so close, it was just who we need answers about and from. I take Jimin's hand into mine and I drag him back inside followed by Jooheon and Mark. In the kitchen we find Taehyung with a cup in hand, one he almost drops upon laying eyes on us. He looks frightened between us new arrivals then full of concern to Jimin. 

"H-Hey guys." The nurse mutters. "What uh...um h-how-"

"Save it doctor." Mark tells him. 

The anxious man sets down his drink, he gulps down what is definitely not what is in the cup. He moves around from the counter to stand right in front of us. Taehyung fiddles with his fingers as he looks the three of us in the eyes. 

"How'd you find out." He finally says. The man's eyes are teary as if the thoughts in his head in the time he hadn't spoken caused for the verge of tears. It was the nerves though, he was almost trembling when we pointed down at the sofa for him to sit. Jimin was quick to join his side to comfort him with the rubbing of his tense shoulders. They exchange a look, there was no more hiding and both of them knew that. We are getting our answers now or things might just end badly, we've all had it with the with puzzle.

"What do you want to know?"

Jooheon scoffed at the question. "What don't we want to know!? Why the hell have no one told us anything!? Have you any idea how frustrating this past year and a half has been!? I wake up and no one tells me anything and then I come to find out there's two other guys like me out there! Not to mention they're the same ones that appeared in my dream during the damn time I was dead!" 

The heavy breathing that follows the outburst is all that fills the room when it's over. 

Everyone is held tight in the trance that were his words. 

"Dreams...?" Taehyung repeats.

"Yes, dreams! I had a whole damn life while I slept and I had to wake up to this crap filled world! I was dead there and it was better than living here! I was happy there, why the hell did I wake!? Tell me that doctor, tell me why the hell is it that it is only until now that I can remember those things yet I can't go back there, I can't be there where all was good, where I had control!" 

Jooheon's tears hit his cheeks then the ground where he falls to right after the first droplet meets the planks of wood. He pulls in his legs into his chest and sobs aggressively into his knees. The hair on his head is tugged because it is all the hands of the trembling being can do. All that was possible for him to deal with the feeling was to cry it out while he asked himself the same thing we all have been for so long, why. Why had no one dared to tell us anything? Why had we been left to live a clueless time in revivals? Why is that only now that we say no more that finally the truth is rising? Why?

All I can do now is watch, stare at Jooheon's miserable self that wishes for a world that is fake yet so much better. It all we all do. Mark is frozen in place, eyes on Jooheon but mind somewhere else. I feel my insides crumble from how destroyed he looks and the fact that there's nothing that can be done to help sooth him. Nothing can be done to help the man so in his time of despair three of us stay quiet, Jimin does not. 

"The experiment worked."
