Fallen

Jinyoung

It has been almost a month since Jaebum disappeared. Luckily I got his address from the school's registrar, I smiled proudly commending myself for my unfailing charm. I decided to buy some groceries before heading to Jaebum's address. I rang his doorbell a few times when I arrived, but there was no answer. I stopped it for a while and pouted at the door, I was staring at the doorbell when my mind crossed the craziest idea. I exhaled loudly and started pushing the doorbell relentlessly. I heard a loud growl from inside which caused me to smile widely. He opened the door with an annoyed look saying, "WHAT THE F..." he stopped mid-sentence and exclaimed "Jinyoung?" "Hi! Glad you still remember me," I said as I pushed past him inviting myself in. "Where can I put this?" I asked lifting the bags of grocery while looking around. He dumbfoundedly lifted his hands and pointed at the kitchen counter. I proceeded to the kitchen and placed the bags on the counter, I then started opening the cupboards as looking for his pots. "What are you doing?" he asked. "Cooking," I simply answered. I was about to start cooking when I smelled something foul and faced Jaebum again with a judging look. "Wow, hyung you look like an old hermit, and you smell bad too," I commented while sniffing him. His face was covered with a moustache and beard, dark circles also line his eyes due to lack of proper sleep. "Go take a bath," I commanded as I pushed him towards the bathroom. I sighed thinking about how Youngjae affected Jaebum so much, 'will he love me the way he loved Youngjae?' I thought to myself. I decided to make an American style breakfast although it's already close to lunchtime. I fried some scrambled eggs, sausage, and bacon. I also toasted some bread and poured orange juice on a glass. Jaebum finished bathing the same time I finished cooking. I put the plate of food on the table and called for Jaebum, "Hyung food is ready, I noticed that he cleaned himself removing the beard and moustache. "You look better this way hyung," I commented which made him blush. There was silence between us, not the awkward one but the comfortable one. Until he asked, "Why are you here?" "You've been missing school for almost a month now, I was worried," I answered. I left him for a while to let him finish his food. I roamed around his apartment cleaning it up. I was in his room picking up his dirty clothes when he came in. "What exactly are you doing?" he quizzed. "I'm cleaning up, duh, your room looks like a pig pen." "I can see that, but why are you doing this?" he asked curiously. "You can be SO dense sometimes, did you know that?" I answered him. "I bought some pre-prepared meal for you to eat later, I'll be off then," I said as I walked to the door. "Oh, by the way, can I have a spare key?" I asked. Complete and utter shock can be seen on his face, well who wouldn't be, no one ever ask for a spare key after just one visit to a house of someone you're really not close to. "I'll come early tomorrow to make breakfast so unless you want to wake up early and open the door for me; just give me a spare key," I said to clear things. I expected him to refuse and shove me out but instead, he quietly went to his room to get the keys and put it in my hand. "You're also going to school tomorrow," I added to which he just groaned. I woke up at 4 am the next day and prepared to go to Jaebum's apartment. I arrived there about half an hour later and opened the front door with the spare keys. I immediately started cooking when I arrived. I settled for kimchi fried rice and scrambled eggs preparing the meal good for two since I haven't had breakfast myself. After which, I went to Jaebum's bedroom and knocked on his door calling, "Hyung get up or we'll be late for class," I shouted. I heard him groan loudly and waited, I tried to listen if he moved but there was no sound. "I'm going in," I announced as I burst inside the room. He was fully covered by the sheets so I did the only thing I could do, pull the sheets but as soon as I did I regret it. Wrong move he was sleeping with only his boxers on. "OMG why are you half naked," I shouted which startled him. "What are you doing in my room?" He asked grabbing the sheets and covering himself. "Get dressed," I said which he answered with "Get out," I rushed out of the room closing the door behind me. Fanning myself with my hand, I leaned back on the door trying to calm myself down.

After leaving Jaebum at the park I told Bambam to just stay and wait for my brother. "You're going there aren't you?" Bambam said. "I need to save Mark," I answered. "If your going then I'm coming with you Mark is my best friend," Bambam reasoned. "Its too dangerous and I don't want to risk you as well, I'm going there alone," I firmly said. "Give me your phone," Bambam said out of the blue. "What? Why?" I questioned. "I'm going to call your brother and tell him of your stupid plan," He threatened. Defeated I dragged him along on one condition, and that is he would stay outside no matter what happens and wait for Hyunjin to arrive. I told Bambam to hide behind one of the overgrown bush near the front door, luckily there were no guards outside. I silently opened the front door which was to my surprise is not locked, I peeked inside and saw two guards by the door, I checked for any CCTV but there was none, why does a big house like this doesn't even have a single CCTV I thought to myself. I slowly crept in, the guards were standing close together with their backs facing me, with a quick move I grabbed the guards head and bump them together causing them to be unconscious. I retrieved their guns and shoved one on my back. I then dragged the guards in a hidden corner beside the left hallway and proceeded inside. I was already halfway in when I heard footsteps coming towards me from the inside and looked for somewhere to hide there was a door to my right, I tried opening it but it was locked. I hurriedly ran back to where I came from I was turning a corner when I bumped into someone. I pointed the gun at the person when... "Jaebum?" I said. The footsteps are getting closer now, I hurriedly lifted him up by the arms and dragged him back out of the hallway and pushed him into hiding covering his mouth with my left hands, while my right hands, which was holding a gun gestured for him to be quiet. His eyes widen when he realized I was holding a gun I heard some guards pass by from where we came from. I released his mouth when the coast was clear. "Why the heck are you holding a gun?" he whispered. "For protection," I answered. "Give me that," he said as he snatched it away from me. "Hey..." I started to complain but was cut off when he asked where Bambam is. "I left him outside, I can't put his life in danger," I answered while fishing another gun from my back. "Seriously!?" he said incredulously as he snatched the other gun from him. "Where did you even get these?" he said brandishing the guns on my face. I pointed to the guards who was unconscious near us.

Jaebum was shoving the gun on his back when I heard Youngjae's voice saying "Oh, we have some visitors." He was accompanied by two guards who immediately pointed their guns at us. On instinct, Jaebum pointed his gun back at them. "Are you here to save Mark?" Youngjae said mockingly. "You bastard," I shouted as I grabbed the gun tucked behind Jaebum and shoot the guards straight through the head. The act startled both Youngjae and Jaebum. I took that chance to capture Youngjae, I quickly ran towards him, I was midway to him when he grabbed the fallen guard's gun and shot at me. Everything happened so fast, the next thing I knew Jaebum's body was falling to the ground. I ran to catch him while shooting Youngjae managing to hit him on the knee. Right then the front burst open as Hyunjin and Jeongin came in. Youngjae made a run for it with difficulty due to his wound. The commotion alerted the other guards who blocked Youngjae and helped him escape. Jeongin approached Jaebum and me while Hyunjin followed Youngjae. "We need to get him to the hospital, he's losing too much blood," Jeongin said while examining his wound. Jaebum took a bullet on his chest narrowly missing his heart. My mind was blank and just stared on the blood that flows through my hands that covered Jaebum's wound. "Yah, Jinyoung hyung, get a grip, take him to the hospital now" Jeongin shouted. Thanks to that my thoughts cleared and immediately carried Jaebum bridal style. Jeongin gave me the police car keys and told me to use the car. I seated Jaebum on the passenger seat and proceed to the driver's seat. Jaebum was slowly losing consciousness, we are already on the highway speeding our way towards the hospital. "Hyung, stay with me, You can't fall asleep you understand? Focus on my voice, hyung you'll be okay we're almost there," I pleaded. "Hyung, don't leave me, you can't die, I love you so much," I said as Jaebum closed his eyes.
