i needed love, but you're too late now

chapter 13

hoseok's POV
  yoongi, jungkook, jin, and i were all on our way to the park that namjoon loves. our plan is to have me be dropped off at the park, jungkook to be dropped off at namjoon's place, and for jin and yoongi to be near the hospital in case they collect any information on namjoon. currently we're about another 2 minutes away from the park. wow, he loves this place. he never shuts up about how the trees and clouds complement each other so well. heh, he's such a sucker for nature. "hoseok, we're here," yoongi said. "huh? oh, ok gotcha." "hobi, are you sure you're ok with doing this? with the other thing that happened?" right...that thing. that horrible event that crushed my heart, but i can't keep thinking about that. right now, our mission is to find namjoon. "i'm sure hyung, joonie is way more important to me than some stupid asswhole." he gives me a hesitate nod and then i get out of the vehicle. "make sure to tell us if you find anything important and call yoongi when you need to be picked up," jin says. i nod to his words and close the car door. i watch the car drive away before turning around to start searching. i hope he's here.

namjoon's POV
  i'm happy it's such a nice day out, really helps making today less...worthless. this past month has been truly awful, but today seems like the solution i've been needing all along...

jungkook's POV
  i don't know why but i keep getting these horrible feelings in my gut. yes my anxiety is off the walls not knowing where namjoon is but i'm having these intense waves of dreads every minute or so. c'mon joonie, where are you?

jimin's POV
  as i'm pulling up to the coffee shop i can see why namjoon always comes here. it's quite small and not very crowded, good for him as he's always disliked large crowds. looking through the windows, i can't see him anywhere. but since he always here the employees must know who he is by now right? well, worth a shot. walking through the door i'm hit with an intense smell of expresso, staying in here too long would definitely give me a headache. enough stalling though, i need to find out about namjoon. "excuse me? do you know anyone by the name of kim namjoon? he's about 181 cms and is a regular here," i ask an employee behind the counter. "hmm? oh, yeah. he used to come in here all the time. sometimes stayed here until we were closed," she says. "by any chance has he come here today at all?" "no, haven't seen him in the last 3 weeks. is he ok?" "he's been in the hospital recently but he ran away and now a lot of people including me are looking for him." "i'm sorry to hear that. i'll tell others to be on the look out for him, we all like him. i hope you find him soon." "thank you so much," i say as i wave goodbye and leave the little coffee shop. i take a seat on a near bench and heave a heavy sigh. this is going to be harder than i thought.

taehyung's POV
  luckily i didn't need to travel very far to reach this pond. it's only about a 10 minute walk from me and jimin's small house. i've looked around the whole area already and i can't see him anywhere. well, this place was a bust then. but it is quite calm though, it's a nice place to relax. there's a bench that i've passed about 3 times now when i was looking for namjoon, that would be a good place for a breather right now. i sit down and my head in my hands. what am i going to do? first, the thing with jungkook, now jimin thinks i like him back, and namjoon is nowhere to be seen. i pick up a nearby rock and throw it into the pond because of my frustration. "GOD DAMNIT!" i yelled. ok tae calm down. breathe in, breathe out. breathe in, breathe out. everything will be ok, everything will be ok. jungkook's crush will eventually go away, jimin will hopefully forgive you soon, and namjoon will be reported found. everything will be fine. the only thing is, i don't know if i actually believed any of those words.

jungkook's POV
  we're about another 5 or so minutes away from namjoon's apartment. i'll check to see if he's there (which i really really hope he is) while yoongi and jin will head back to the hospital and hang around there in case namjoon comes back. suddenly though, all three of our phones go off. i look down at the notification and see it's from jimin.
