"So... Where are we going now?" Jimin asks Jungkook out of the blue. His eyes are fixated on what is called a handsome young man sitting casually while resting his hands on the steering wheel. Jungkook looks at him, a few strands of his hair touched his eyelids beautifully. 

"I was thinking we should go to the hospital." Jungkook says, carefully putting the filled brown-papper bag on Jimin's lap. Jimin gives him a questioning look about the bag and Jungkook responds quietly with all the sincerity he has.

"I... made you... breakfast." 

"What?" Jimin asks when he's already heard what Jungkook said, he just wants to tease him again. It's turned into one of his habits lately, feeling smitten a second and filled with that urge to tease him the next. 

"Nothing." The roaring sound of the car's engine went off and Jimin watches in awe as the car moves slowly away from where he lives. Opening the bag, he finds a grilled cheese that's still warm which it rakes crustily against his fingertips and a hand-sized bottle of banana milk judging on the light-yellow color.

"Hey I don't know why the fuck you're being so suddenly nice to me but thanks."

Jungkook hears the crisp sound of bread ringing his ears and soft, cute chewing next to him.

"No prob." He lightly smiles and blushes as Jimin exclaims how delicious it was.

"Anneyeong Jin-hyung," Jimin waves for Jin to make him out between the big people he's surrounded in, which he gladly returns with a bright smile and an enthusiastic wave much as Jimin's. 

"Well someone is pretty happy today, am I right?" The brown-haired female doctor said, winking playfully at the two young detectives. Her hands are still gliding over the computer keyboard, typing important files and arranging the papers in neat spaces. "Jin-hyung, aren't you going to lead these gentlemen here a visit at room 340?"

"Why yes, I was going to ask them that, thank you for your reminding me." Seokjin smiles and gently pats Jennie's shoulders which she returns with a smile. After that she returns back to her work. Jimin notices Jin-hyung's beckoning him and his fellow colleague to follow so they hurriedly shuffle after the young doctor, who just vanished behind the walls of the hospital few seconds ago. They squeezed between the middle-aged who's leading by the hands of their daughters and sons, and carefully walk before the cute and angelic children running around with lollipops in their chubby little hands. After a moment of walking past a set of blonde triplets - which is a very peculiar phenomenon for Jimin, they arrive in front of the room, it was situated the last though it was bright and numbers shined under the pristine white lights. A small green bonsai was next to the door, keeping the atmosphere green and fresh. Jin looks at them and ask if they are ready, being a very considerate brother and a doctor's nature. Jungkook replies back with an 'ok' sign made with his thumb and index. With that, Jin give the door some knocks and they hear faint replies, agreeing they can come in. 

"Come in." 

The door swings open, revealing a man with tanned skin resembling a color of golden honey shining in bright light. His hair is dyed a color of light blue with intermixed strands of grayish silver. Tattoos trail down his cloth-covered chest but enough for Jimin to make out a rose in a shade of blood red, he has piercings, more than Jungkook and he seems to be more reckless than the image of a friend of a gentleman such as Lee Chin-Hwa. His moss green eyes are fixated on the town scenery, nothing much besides various shades of green and ethereal constructions.

"Good morning Jinnie," The man smiles when Jin sits down on the chair that's next to the bed, holding his bony hands which is on an IV. Jin's eyebrows lightly furrows when he sees the man's slightly hollowed facial features and jutted collarbones, he switches his attention to the untouched breakfast that's on the stand next to the bed.

"Dae-Hyun, you need to be well and fed..." Jin rubs his thumb on the back of the man's hand. "You won't be discharge soon if you continue to let your food go to waste like this..."

"I will, I just... After all you know..." The man named Dae-Hyun smiles sadly, "I just... miss him. He's there and after a wasted night like any other nights, he's gone, forever..."

Jimin senses the sadness laced in the man's tone and feels the need to give him a hug - something that Hobi's always do to cope with his spontaneous breakdown. Too lost in his thoughts, he doesn't realize that Dae-Hyun is looking at him questioningly until Jungkook brings him back to reality with a slight nudge in the shoulder.

"I'm sorry but who are they? I completely forgot what you told me yesterday." Dae-Hyun says to Jin while eyeing Jimin and Jungkook.

"Well, they are Jimin and Jungkook, Jimin's the shorter one. Hope you don't mind me calling you that." Jin gives them a cheeky smile to pave the sadness away. "Boys, meet Choi Dae-Hyun - Chin-Hwa's companion since birth."

"Why the sudden visit 'jay-jay's?" Dae-Hyun smiles warmly, welcoming the two.

"Well, we heard about you being Chin-Hwa's friend so we're here to give you a visit." Jungkook says, slow and steady, adding a bit of information as he pulls out his police badge. "We're from the police department. Do you mind if we ask you a few questions? Your cooperation will be a great step forward in the case."

Dae-Hyun looks a little scared since his face turns pale slightly and Jimin understands his change of reaction. He's terrified of privacy invading and since Jungkook looks kind of intimidating. If it weren't for the morning "goodies" bag he gave to Jimin this morning, he would spend the rest of his life thinking Jungkook as the most intimidating bunny in the whole universe. Well, that's a legit reason for his job. Who would be terrified of a bunny, doe-eyed cop?

"It's okay Dae-Hyun" Jimin gives him his eye-smile and sits on the chair next to Jin. "Seokjin-hyung can sit with you if you like or I'll be here as much as you want me to." 

Dae-Hyun gives Jimin a quiet nod and a smile as his answer, his agreement to move onto the question section. Jimin feels relaxed because he reduced the tension and nervousness of the patient, he looks at the man encouragingly and at Jungkook, he sees the sparkles in his brown doe eyes and nods as a signal to start.

"Okay Dae-Hyun. First question..."
