Love Is Perfection

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

"Hoseok, wait... Stop right there." Namjoon yelled behind.

All happened like a bolt out from the blue. Jungkook who was someone Hoseok loved, had been hurt. Fate always knocked him down like a player of a chessboard.

Hoseok slowed his pace even his feet didn't wanna step further. Like it felt so heavy to him. Namjoon walked until he stopped next to him.

"Why, Hoseok?"

"I didn't want to, believe me." Hoseok's tone got cracked, "I don't want him to cry.".

"But, you did, Hoseok." Namjoon squealed on him.

"Then what you think I would do?"

A moment of silence dropped while Namjoon sighed to utter, "Hobi, you know it better how sensitive he is. Did you ever feel to ask what he's doing, where he's staying these days?"

Hoseok was gonna say something but Namjoon didn't let him.

"He left the mansion right after the night you did. He stayed with me keeping himself in a room. Even he didn't eat well. Did you see his face?" Joonie explained in a breath while Hoseok's brows raised with shock. His mouth left a gap and his ears didn't wanna trust what he heard.

Namjoon could feel his buddy. He squeezed his shoulder, "Buddy, you don't know how much he is feeling bad for ya. He always blames himself for your state."

"But... I just..." Hoseok didn't know what to say, all he could feel his breath was getting heavy under his throat. His eyes ended up streaming tears as Namjoon hugged him, "I know, buddy, why you reacted that way. But at least now, I support what Kookie wants."

"Guys..."

Their conversation cut off abruptly when they heard Yu Na's voice and felt the unknown tension in it.

"Did Jungkook come here?"

"No..." Namjoonie replied back, "He must be with you."

"Yes, but..." Yu Na's focus trailed to Hoseok's, "He's not there."

"Not there! Maybe he's around somewhere." Namjoon looked a bit confused.

"No... He's not anywhere here." Jiminie and Tae approached from the other side.

"Have you check the greenhouse room, Tae?" Yu Na turned at them.

"Only Eun Ji was there alone," Jimin replied back panting, "He isn't in practice room either."

"Has he left somehow?"

"No, how will that be? He hadn't gone on the street alone so far. He was supposed to go with me." Namjoon's voice got low.

But an unknown fear started piling up in Hoseok. Some unpleasant imaginations pushed him to go on the street. Without asking the reason, the rest followed him back.
They dropped their glance at every possible point outside. An intersection at the end of the street made a very gut feeling. Hoseok ran down the road and he was right. Jungkook was crossing it not seeing either any side or he wasn't in a state. Hoseok was gonna shouted but his gaze fell on a bus coming near from the opposite direction. His breath got stopped, only he could do was running fast to his bro and pulled him away.

"Jungkookiee...!" he held his little brother in his lap.

"Hyung........"

Jungkook lost all his strength and fainted right away.

| Hospital |

Unlike the patient room, the waiting room held a bit noisy and crowded.

Jungkook was taken into observation. Outside the room, the rest were waiting. They didn't expect something like this would happen. Hoseok was resting on a couch alone. His brain was whirling in what happened a minute ago. Namjoon approached him to console. But that didn't seem to work. So he just gestured Yu Na to do something.

"Hey, crybaby." Yu Na poked him gently.

"I'm not in a mood." Not even turning, Hoseok replied.

"I can see that."

"Then, go to your buddies."

"You know what, sometimes, you become a bit stubborn."

"Maybe..."

"You're thinking, you're the only one suffering all this?"

Their eyesight met. But she just gave a soft look while curving her lips as if she was grinning.

"Think about me. My parents died in an accident and I had to stay at my uncle's house in the midst of ignorance.
Don't even count how many times I wanted to kill myself.

Surviving like a useless entity out there."

She tilted her head upward while her eyes wanted to stream tears. Her skin got the soft touch of his hand.

"Who said that you're someone useless." Hoseok put his hand on hers.

"Maybe it's me all the time. Still, I'm alive.

Still, I'm here, just because... I have a dream. A dream which I can't ruin just killing myself."

Only tranquillity left between them when Hoseok was staring at her. The girl about whom he experienced as someone a smiling and happy person was slowly shedding tears by his side, holding a heart pierced with so many miseries.

Meanwhile, a knocking sound of the door formed. The doctor came out. Hoseok was gonna stand up but hardly could he because he got hurt on his knee. Yu Na caught his waist to assist him.

"He was stressed and starved himself, that's why we assume he fainted... He's alright now..." The doctor gave a smile and turned to Hoseok, "Are you Jung Hoseok?"

Hoseok nodded.

"You can go inside." He left.
Namjoon took his weight from Yu Na, patted on his shoulder reassuringly.

The doorknob was clicked again. Silence adopted the entire room as if a bit of noise could be harmful in there. In the middle of the room, a bed with a white sheet placed where Jungkook was lying like a little baby. Hoseok walked until he stopped to sit beside his brother.

"I'm sorry, my brother." He whispered placing his hands on his bro's forehead. "I hurt you. It's all my fault, Mianhee."

Tears fell down.

"It's...okay......hyung." Hoseok's skin felt the touch while he got the reply. Jungkook got back his conscious and was smiling at him.

Namjoon was the witness of this sweet reunion, he was smiling but a single drop of tear fell down from his eyes. He was trying to hide.

"Don't hide... We saw it." Baby Jungkook playfully murmured.

"Yah...don't go alone further without me." Namjoon wiped away his tears.

They smiled. Hoseok pampered his little brother as if it had been his only chance to adore him.

Nobody knew what would happen next but that didn't even bother them.
