The Necklace I Hold | discontinued

7 - Finding Him

Namjoon's POV

After we both introduced ourselves, I head over to the kitchen to prepare some snacks for us. What does he even eat anyway? Oh well, I'm just going to prepare some biscuits.

When I walked over to the kitchen table, something shinny caught my eye. It was a crystal necklace. It's probably hers. Geez, why must she leave her things everywhere? I'm just going to leave it there. If I touch it even for just a mere second, she's probably going to kill me.

As I was about to open the cabinet to take some snacks out, the handle broke.

...

Why am I so unlucky today...?

Meanwhile~ 

That stupid yet smart-ass brother of mine... Think he can just say all he want... Well, not a chance! If you think of throwing him outside the streets, I won't forgive you. 

I walked around a housing area until I stopped at the front of a familiar door. I smiled to myself and rang the doorbell, hoping to see him inside.

The door opens but it wasn't him. It was his mother.

"(Y/n)! What are you doing here? It's been so long since I last saw you! My... Look at you. You've become even more beautiful! Come on in!"

The woman in her 40s said, clearly shocked when she saw me. Of course she would be. I've never seen his family for like 10 years!

"Pardon for the intrusion..."

Everything still looks the same. But...

Something feels different.

One, there used to be a cat living here. I wonder where did it go?

Second, I don't see any traces of him. All of his things, were gone.

"Uh... Excuse me, but... Where's Tae?"

When I asked the woman who was preparing tea for the both of us, she dropped the cup.

"Mrs Kim?! Are you alright?!"

I rushed towards her side to see if she's hurt anywhere. Thankfully, not cuts were seen.

"I-i'm fine, (Y/n)..."

"Geez, don't scare me like that!" I took her to the couch and we sit next to each other.

"So... About Tae..."

She was silent for a moment but then she told me something which had my eyes wide.

"He... Left."

-----------------------------------------------------

Stupid Taeeeee!!! How dare you leave me and your mother?!?!

I was walking towards the location which Mrs Kim gave me. I can't believe he left! He didn't even contact me or anything! When I see him, I'm going to knock some senses into him. 

Did the others know? Did he tell them? 

Arghhh! Kim Taehyung! Just you wait! Don't you even think of surviving when I see you...!

Few minutes ago...

"He... Left..."

Silence filled the room.

"What?! What do you mean he left?!" I literally jumped up from the couch when I heard that.

"10 years ago, after you went away with your brother, something happened which made Taehyung left." 

What on Earth happen...

"Then... Do you perhaps know where is he now...?" I asked, trying to hide the anger within me.

She nods her head and wrote down the address in a piece of paper and gave it to me after she wrote finished.

"I'm not sure if this is where he is staying right now, but I hope it helps you."

I looked at the paper confused, then back to her again.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Well... He's in University so I'm not sure if he's staying the dorm or in that apartment."

"Oh... I see..."

"Which reminds me... (Y/n), aren't you in a University as well?"

I started to sweat when I heard that.

"Heh... Well... I stopped after my 2nd year in high school..." I said, avoiding her gaze.

"What?! You should continue!"

"Yea... Sorry... By the way, where's the cat?"

" *sigh* The thing is, when Taehyung left, the cat followed him but I tried to stop it. However, the cat was nowhere to be found."

"Aww man! I really liked that cat!" I pouted.

"Hahaha... Yea. You always played with Taehyung that time." She laughed, thinking about the past.

"Don't worry, Mrs Kim! I'll definitely bring him back and let him apologized to you!" I exclaimed as she just stare at me. But soon laughed.

"Sure! I can't wait for that day to come!"

Back to the present...

I was standing in front of the apartment door. 

Well, he's probably in there.

I rang the doorbell and waited for someone to open the door. The door slowly opened and revealed a face which I never forget.

The person in front looks at me with wide eyes. It was a bit watery if I may add. Either that, or his round glasses was just making the reflection.

"(Y/n)...?"

"You got that right, Tae. Now let me in, we have some talking to do." I said and he quickly led me inside.

When I entered, I just plopped onto couch, not caring if its his house or not. What? I always do that every time I visit him. 

I crossed my arms as I closed my eyes.

"(Y-y/n)...?"

I shot my eyes open and stare at him.

"Tell me what happened 10 years ago. And make it fast. You don't want to be buried in the grounds do you?"

After I said that, he quickly nods his head and sits next to me.

"10 years ago...
