Her | Kim Taehyung

Chapter 9

He has been anxious and restless for the last few days. He couldn't find anymore kids to save.

His last refugee was flashed across the news. He stood in front of the shop as they announced the turn of events.

"Seven years old, Park Min Do, was reported missing after he failed to appear at his tution class. He was found yesterday, outside his school gate in a body bag.

Police are investigating this and so far they have reported saying..."

Yada yada yada ... He thought as he walked away from the store while shaking his head in irritation and pulling his black hood over his head.

The kid was so ungrateful that he couldn't resist the urge to shut the kid down.

He remembers his first refugee. She was obedient and somewhat cooperative. She cried but he didn't have to shut her up. She was unique.

She survived.

Now as he was walking down the streets, he kept thinking why the people couldn't understand that he was trying to save those miserable kids. The kids whose parents don't have enough time for them. Those lonely kids, trying to live alone and survive.

"Jihyun-ah, you're gonna come to my studio after your dance class. Your mom is doing a double shift, so we're gonna get our dinner with my colleagues since my mom went to visit some relatives." He heard a guy say as he was walking along with a little girl, holding hands.

The guy was a bit pale and had blonde hair, he wore a black t-shirt with a leather jacket and ripped jeans, he had a tripod in his other hand and a bag over his shoulder. He was talking to the girl beside him.

The girl was probably five to six years old and she wore a black tank under the off shoulder T-shirt which had 'Hope' written on it with black leggings and flip flops. The one thing he caught on with the chat was, the girl's mom wasn't always home.

The girl, Jihyun, needed his help. Her mom left her with someone for her job.

He was going to save her.

Namjoon's POV

"Hyung, even noona thought she was Yuri." Jungkook explains as I take off my jacket and set it besides the equipment bag.

I had a white T-shirt on with black ripped jeans. I had a small shoot before I came here to the cafe. I had my video equipment spread out over the table while Jungkook kept babbling.

I guess he was planning to get his lunch before he saw me and joined me, much to my dismay. He probably came from home and was heading to his gallery since he wore his Nirvana t-shirt and jeans.

He's been biting my ear off since he saw Sayuri. He keeps talking about how Sayuri looks like Yuri's mom, how similar Sayuri's eyes were to Yuri's or how much things changed after Yuri left us.

Now, he was telling me that Yoona noona agrees to his theory and that she believes that Sayuri is Yuri.

"Noona can't be wrong. She's her aunt. She raised her. She-"

"Jungkook-ah!" I yell in frustration while cutting him off. "You've been going on about this for the past week! Enough already." I don't stop there. I continue to say anything that came to my mind, "You're wishing on a dead star. Misunderstandings happen. Coincidents happen. Shit like this happen! You don't get your hopes high in the oblivion, just by watching these series of events happen."

He sat there looking helpless and stunned as I blurt things out. I couldn't stop saying the things that I buried in and splutter them out without any filter.

"They told us she's not Yuri. Sayuri didn't get irritated by our inconsistent questions about her being Yuri or not, and that's our fucking luck. Imagine having a lawsuit filed for harassment. She was kind enough to let this go but you... You are being unreasonable just like noona. It's like you both were the only ones who loved Yuri-chan." I look away from him, "Have you ever thought about me? About your hyung?" I feel disgusted to have being saying this but my mouth doesn't stop.

"She was like my baby sister..." I sighed heavily while avoiding looking at his face.

"Hyung-"

"Mianhe Kookie-ah. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have taken it out on you." I gathered my things, "I'm heading back to the studio."

I leave him alone and get out of the cafe. I feel lost as I walk away.

It wasn't usual for me to burst out like that but I guess nothing has been usual since Sayuri showed up... No, it goes way beyond that time, better to say since Yuri died.

"Namjoon hyung!" I heard Jungkook calling out but I don't turn to face him, instead I kept walking. "Hyung!" He called out again and I ignored it again.

I felt a hand grabbing my shoulder and forcing me to turn, "Cap..." Jungkook whispers.

I stilled, no one called me that. Not since everything happened with Yuri.

It was our thing. We were the Golden trio. I was Captain America, Jungkook was Iron man and Yuri was Thor.

We laughed when we got to know that she would be Thor. She presented a fair fight for it though.

She was the God of thunder...

I stifled a laugh now but don't say anything to interrupt him, "Captain. I'm sorry for being so selfish and blind-"

"Namjoon-ah?" I heard someone call interrupting Jungkook's apology.

"Sunbae? What are you doing here with... Jihyun?" I asked as I saw that Yoongi hyung was walking towards us with Jihyun by his side.

"I told you that you can call me hyung when we're outside the campus... Anyway I was taking this little devil to her dance class. What about you guys? Are you heading to the studio?"

"Yes I was thinking about taking Jungkook to the studio where he can help me with the short film." I don't turn to see Jungkook's surprised expression after I said that because I was surprised myself for saying it.

"I know that you're almost done with it! You can go to the studio later. Now come with us! You remember Hoseok? He was the one who arranged the show which made me a viral sensation. Jihyun is attending his dance class. Come with us!"

"Sunbae, we'll come in a little later. We got to talk something out." I said as we stood outside the dance studio's entrance.

"Alright, be quick or you'll miss out Jihyun's part during their practice." He says before pulling the door open and entering.

I nod in agreement and then grab Jungkook's arm, walking away from the entrance.

"Hyung I'm sorry. I really am-"

"I'm sorry, Jungkook. No, don't say anything about it... I really went too far." I said genuinely feeling bad about the unexpected burst up.

"It was my fault hyung. I shouldn't have been so gullible or building theories. I'm really sorry hyung."

"Let's get inside, Fe-male, before sunbae comes out and drags us in himself." I laughed out loud a throwing my arm around him.

"It's Iron man, not Fe-male!" He grumbles.

"It is Fe-male. Fe is iron's name in the periodic table and male is well for man!" I explained the old logic to him again.

He chuckled along as we went in.

I guess things are going to be fine after we met Sayuri. Even though it is like facing some ghosts of our past, it would help us heal.

Now we won't be wallowing in self pity, alone... We'll heal together.
