i needed love, but you're too late now

chapter 12

jungkook's POV
i've been in the bathroom for a while now, but i've managed to calm down quite a lot. i still can't believe what taehyung said, 'i feel like i'm cheating on him when i'm around you'. i don't know why but those words just pierce my heart. i have to figure out a way to explain myself to him, since it clearly doesn't look like he'll answer my calls anytime soon. why is today such hell?
i turned my head at the sound of knocking on the bathroom door. "um sorry, this bathroom is out of use right now," i said to the mystery person. "jungkook, it's me yoongi. jin, hoseok, and i are leaving and i know you need a ride so come out." "but i haven't had a chance to see namjoon yet!" "doesn't matter, either come with us or you have to walk home alone in the rain." "someone's in a sour mood." "you have the next 30 seconds to decide before we abandon you in this bathroom." shoot, ok think kookie. you could see namjoon today but get soaked later, or you could stay dry and see namjoon tomorrow. hmmmm. well, i guess it's only until tomorrow, what could happen? "ok yoongi hyung, i'll go with you guys." "great," he blankly replied. i washed my face over the sink to get some of the red out of my eyes. it sorta worked but that was good enough for me. after i dried my face, i stepped out of the bathroom to be greeted with a pissed off yoongi, a crying hoseok, and a comforting jin. "woah, what happened with hoseok?" "it doesn't matter right now, just come on, i want to go home," yoongi said. i just nodded and we all went outside to get into the car. as we were pulling away, i saw in one of the rooms on the top level that there appeared to be someone shuffling around. packing to go home probably? lucky them, i'm sure namjoon would love to go home...

namjoon's POV
a doctor came in a little after yoongi and the others left so i pretended to be asleep so that they wouldn't check in on me in a while. once he left i got up quickly from the bed, regretting it immediately because of the painful head rush. i shook my head and continued walking to where the nurse put my clothes a couple days ago. i can't let them see i'm a patient, and there's no way in hell i'm dying in a hospital gown. i quickly got dressed and opened the door slightly to see how many people there would be around my area. not very many luckily, just a couple of nurses here and there.
i walked out of the room while looking down just to make sure that no one could recognize my face. luckily it worked, i even made it past the secretary without raising any suspicions. it's kind of scary how easy that was but oh well, works out for me. it was raining outside but i don't mind, i actually quite like the rain. the distance between the hospital and my place isn't very much, so it'll only be about a 25 minute walk. 25 minutes until the end of my journey, wow, what a weird thought.

25 minutes later

when i finally made it to my place, i realized the door had been left open. my first thought was that it had been robbed but then i remember that the day those jerks beat me up i didn't close my door. has it been open this whole time? dang, maybe i shouldn't rule out the robbing thing then. whatever, it doesn't even matter. just as long as i still have paper and pen i'll be good. i only came here to write my goodbye note anyways.
it only took me about 2 minutes before i found what i needed. i write down what i need to say, then gently lay it on my coffee table. i glance at the clock to check the time, 1:38pm, i guess i better get going. the quicker i'm gone, the better.

jungkook's POV
awkward silence. that's all that was happening in this car right now. i get that yoongi is clearly pissed off but i mean, would it hurt to put on some music? i heard what sounds to be a phone ringing. it sounds like mine, i should probably answering it. but the glance i get from yoongi in the mirror indicates that i probably shouldn't. i look down and see that it's just an unknown number anyways, so i press the decline button. maybe i'll call them back later or something.

random nurse's POV
"did he pick up?" doctor lee asked me. "no, but he was the first person on the emergency contacts list, should i ring the next one down?" "YES!" "ok ok!" kim seokjin, let's see if he picks up. ring ring ring ri- hello- "oh mr. kim! i need to tell you-" i'm currently not available right now, but i shall call you back shortly- "damnit!" i yelled while slamming the phone down. there has to be someone on this list that's available.

a few more unanswered calls later

shit! i've tried min yoongi, jung hoseok, and kim taehyung, no one has picked up! the only person that's left on this list is park jimin. ok, let's hope for the best. ring ring ring rin- "hello? who's this?" oh my god, he answered! "this is park jimin correct? i am nurse nguyen, at the seoul paik hospital. something has happened with kim namjoon." "oh god what happened?! is he ok?!" "i'm afraid to tell you that we don't know. we went to give him his lunch but he was no longer in his room. he took his clothes with him and we were wondering if you had any idea where he is?" "......" "mr.park? are you still there?" i heard sniffling on the other end, poor kid. "everything will be ok, sir. we just need to know if you have any information." "no, i don't." damnit. "but um..i'll ask my friends to check anywhere they think he could be. they'll want to find him and much as me." i sigh in relief. "perfect, we'll let you know if we any clues to his whereabouts. goodbye, mr.park." "goodbye."

jimin's POV
this day has been horrible. first i found out jungkook liked taehyung, which i totally overreacted about. but i can't control my jealousy, it can go haywire in one quick moment. i should probably work on that. and now, i got news that the hospital has no idea where namjoon is. which is bad for many reasons but especially since he's not in the right headspace to be alone right now. i have to tell the others.

chimchim added tae;), urhope, mom, jungkookie, and deadinside to mission:namjoon

chimchim: i'm sorry for overreacting earlier and i'll talk about it more later but right now we have a serious issue, the hospital has no idea where namjoon is.

tae;): jimin! you're talking to me again!

chimchim: tae what did i just say? no one knows where namjoon is!

tae;): i'm sorry :(

mom: are you saying that he ran away from the hospital??

chimchim: they didn't exactly say, but that seems like the most logical answer. where are the other 3?

mom: yoongi is driving and both hoseok and jungkook are asleep in the back.

chimchim: ok well we all need to think of and look at places where namjoon could possibly be.

mom: i just told yoongi what happened and he pulled over to wake up the other two. since we're in the car we can check more far away places.

urhope: he likes that one park a lot right? blue wood or something like that?

chimchim: ok good that's one place we can check. got any other ideas?

tae;): i know the he likes the pond kinda near our house. i can look there.

chimchim: good good. i'm pretty sure he goes to that one coffee shop a lot to relax. i'll check there.

jungkookie: it'd also probably be a good idea to check his place as well.

chimchim: yeah. ok, everyone's clear on where to look. make sure that if you find him or any useful information to let us all know right away. good luck everyone.

alright then, to the coffee shop i go.
