It was a very cloudy day. Some people looked up and stayed inside their houses incase if it rains and some nevermind the weather and continued their busy lives. Then they saw in a distance, a red sports car speeding over towards to XXXX Mental Hospital.

As the car parked in the parking area of the mentioned hospital, a guy wearing a full-sized brown coat with a black shirt and black slacks beneath it and a scarf wrapped on his neck, went out from the car and headed inside.

Jimin stopped in the Nurse's Registrar to ask something important.

"Hey!" He called the nurse who was writing something on one of the clipboards. "Can I ask something?"

The nurse looked up. "Yes sir?" She immediately replied with a hint of respect on her voice.

"Can I visit Kim Taehyung-ssi here? You see, I'm his friend and I wanted to visit him if he's alright here," Jimin explained.

The nurse nodded and get the telephone, calling for someone. "Wait for a minute sir. I have to ask permission of the doctor first. The doctor strictly told us that people can't easily visit our patient Kim Taehyung as he was a dangerous patient among of the patients here," She said as she pushed the buttons in the telephone, ringing for the doctor.

Dangerous? How dare they say that? Taehyung is not dangerous. We knew him. I knew him very well...

"Tell the doctor, I'm Park Jimin. A friend of Kim Taehyung, " Jimin told her at once.

The nurse nodded in response. As the doctor finally picked up the call, the nurse immediately asked a permission. "Doc, there is someone who wants to visit our patient Kim Taehyung. His name is Park Jimin and he said he is a friend of the patient. Can I let him visit doc?"

"Let me see this visitor first. Send him to my office," The doctor told the nurse on the phone.

"Yes doc," The nurse answered as she hung up the call. She then faced Jimin who was skirting his eyes around the Nurse's Registrar. "Sir, the doctor told me that he wants to see you in person first. Come sir, I'll lead you to his office."

Jimin nodded in reply. A bad feeling started to grow inside Jimin. He felt that there is something bad that about to happen. But instead of worrying, he ignored his feelings and be positive instead.

No. I should'nt be worried... Nothing's gonna happen right?

The nurse suddenly stopped her pace and faced Jimin. "Here we are sir. The doctor is inside," She said, pointing at the door right before beside them.

"감사합니다," Jimin simply said then the nurse left him in the area.

Jimin slowly opened the door, trying not to make a large noise and break someone's peace. He then decided to go inside.

He circumvented his gaze around the room. Books all piled up. Vase was on its place. And a doctor on his table, writing something on a white-sheet paper.

"Hello," Jimin softly said as he stood up in front of the doctor.

The doctor looked up at him. "So you're Park Jimin I presume?" He then asked.

What's up with him?, Jimin thought on his mind.

Jimin cleared his throat before he spoke. "Yes you're right. So can I visit Taehyung now?" He said straight-forwardly.

The room silenced after that question.

But after a couple of seconds, the doctor broke the silence. "No. You can't visit him," He simply said as he went back to his work.

"왜? Why not?!" Jimin automatically reacted, having a confusion written on his face. The doctor looked at him again.

"Visitors are prohibited to visit that particular patient."

"B-but-"

The doctor cut him off. "If you dont want me to call the police, then it would be better if you leave this hospital. Have a nice day, Mr. Park Jimin."

Jimin 'tsk'ed and decided to turn around and leave. "This guy irks me," He whispered under his breath.

The doctor stared at Jimin sharply as he was leaving the room. "You can't visit him. As long as I'm alive, I won't let anyone help Taehyung. He deserves to die..." He whispered and laughed evilly.

"Damn that jerk!" Jimin cursed loudly as soon as he arrived at their now official dance studio.

After Bang Sihyuk told them that they are planned to debut, the company held a meeting few days ago to discuss the important matter. The whole company workers approved to let them debut, in fact, they overjoyed in knowing the news. For over the years, they secretly wanted the six of them to debut and now it finally happened. As a gift, the company provided a dance studio for them. Eventhough it was not a little bit spacious for them, the six still thankful about it. And since that day, they started to have a practice there for their upcoming debut. The debut date still not annouced yet but they're expected to debut soon.

"Language Jimin," the oldest scolded him as he also sat on the couch right beside Jimin. "What happened?"

Jimin pouted out of infuriation. "I went XXXX Mental Hospital earlier to visit Tae Tae but that doctor kicked me out!" He wailed angrily.

"Kicked you out?" Hoseok asked in confusion, raising an eyebrow.

"He said that visitors are prohibited to visit him. Among all of the patients confined there, only him is prohibited to have visitors to visit him. And I cant seem to understand why!" Jimin said, explaining the whole thing to his friends as he gritted his teeth furiously.

Yoongi decided to sit on one of the chairs beside the couch as he thought of someting. "That's weird. Only him?" He whispered but enough for his friends to hear.

Namjoon nodded. "네. As far as I know, pyromania isnt a strong psychological disorder. Unless if a person has DID, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, or any terminal-illnesses that may contaminant others. I know that Pyromania isn't contagious as it is known for a fact that it is a rare psychological disorder," He paused. "Why would the doctor prohibited people to visit him? Unless..."

"Unless what?" Someone asked behind them. The five turned their gazes to where the voice came from. It was Jungkook who was carrying six coffee bottles that he bought outside.

Jungkook handed the coffees. "What was that hyung?" He asked Namjoon after he finished doing his job in handing out the bottles.

Namjoon sipped his coffee first before answering the maknae's question. "Unless... If the doctor has something to hide from us. A secret perhaps," He replied unsurely. "But I'm not sure, okay? Its just a suspicion."

"But you have a point."

"What do you mean Yoongi?"

Yoongi placed his hand to his chin as he was thinking of something. "Maybe there is something that happened there secretly. Something that they dont want to tell us. But what is it?" He stated his realization, staring at the floor as he was still thinking something.

"Okay guys! Break is over!" Their choreographer told them from behind making the boys groaned.

In a deafening silent room, Taehyung stared in space, not making a move and not making a noise. His brain was completely blank. His pale skin became paler. His lips dried and became chapped. He's thirsty but he can't drink. He's hungry but he can't eat. It's like he was dead but he was still alive.

The silence broke as the door opened. Taehyung still stared in space uncharacteristically.

"I see. You finally behave now."

It was the doctor. His father.

"Here, a vitamin for you. Be sure to behave like today okay?" The doctor said as he injected the vitamin he mentioned earlier. He then smiled evilly as Taehyung suddenly collapsed on his bed.

He pulled out the injection after that and spoke, "There there... Be a kind dog hmm?..." He stated whisperly before he left the room, satisfied on the outcome that he expected.
