The night was young and silent. Yoo Tae Ha, a specified nurse from XXXX Mental Hospital, was tasked to have a daily check up on his patients. For his last patient that he would check up was on room 21A, where Taehyung was confined.
As soon as he stepped inside Taehyung's room, he found him sleeping so quietly. He then made a check on him. Until he noticed, Taehyung was getting paler and paler each day. He also noticed the strange green marks on Taehyung's arm and nape.
"Huh? Green marks?" A two-short question slipped on his mouth. He checked it again, convincing himself that he was just seeing things but he was not. The strange marks was indeed there.
He put down his clipboard and took his phone. He took a picture of the strange marks then he kept it after.
Tae Ha stared at Taehyung in disbelief. He knew that the markings were not just simple and small. "This is so weird. How did he get these markings?..." He whispered under his breath. "Is this the side effects of the medicine that the doctor injected him?"

Jungkook yawned. "W-what time is it?" He asked himself as he looked to the clock placed on the side table, squinting his eyes uncontrollably. It was dawn, exactly 3:14 A.M.
He stood up from his bed, hoping to drink a glass of water. After that, he went back to his room. "Aish... I woke up so early..." He groaned as he stretched his neck and went back to bed.
But before he could doze off, a ring on the telephone made him jump. He walked to the living room half-annoyed to answer the incoming call. "예보세요?" He said boldly, annoyance was evident in his voice as he answered.
[REVIEW: 예보세요 or yeoboseyo means 'hello']
A silent response replied Jungkook. "예보세요?" He called the caller again.
Again, silence responded Jungkook. He knitted his eyebrows out of annoyance towards the unknown caller. "If you're calling a person in dawn and not going to answer then better change that attitude or I'm going to hunt you and split your head from your body! And with that, bid your goodbyes to you family now!" Jungkook said excrutiatingly as he scoffed and being careful not to make a fuss before Jimin wakes up.
Finally, the unknown caller replied. "줴송합니다. Is this Mr. Park?" The caller asked infinitesimally. The voice definitely owned by a man.
[줴송합니다 or joesonghabnida means 'I'm sorry']
"아니요," Jungkook muttered, almost making it unheard as he was slowly dozing off, showing that his bed was already calling him, ready to be laid.
[REVIEW: 아니요 or aniyo means 'no']
"S-so this is Mr. Jeon I-I am s-speaking to?" The caller stuttered in between his question.
Jungkook sat on the sofa beside the table where the telephone was located, leaning his head and back as he closes his eyes before answering. "그레..."
[REVIEW: 그레 means 'that's right]
The caller cleared his throat. But before he could answer, Jungkook cut him off. "What do you want? Its clearly dawn and all people know that everybody are still sleeping right now!"
"I have a report about your friend, Mr. Kim Taehyung-" The call ended after that unfinished sentence.
Jungkook looked at the telephone handset confusely. "That's weird. Aish, time to sleep again. That dumbass broke my beautiful sleep," He said to himself, putting back the telephone handset on its rightful place and headed to his room so that he could sleep again.
As soon as the bed touched him, he immediately drifted to his slumber.

A loud slap could be heard in the room. It was Yoo Tae Ha and the doctor, Mr. Kim. His cheeks painted in red after that slap.
"You! Unauthorized giving of information outside the hospital is unforgivable! Pay for your sins!" The doctor enunciated infuriatingly.
Tae Ha bowed apologetically as he said, "I-I'm sorry D-doc. I-t was m-my fault..." He swallowed. "...please forgive me..." He pleaded.
The doctor was still not satisfied after slapping Tae Ha. He grabbed his neck forcefully as he gritted his teeth, making Tae Ha yelped in pain, but not too loud and not too soft.
"A-ack..."
The doctor eyed Tae Ha sharply, still holding his neck with pure anguish. "Forgive you?..." He asked softly, gritting his teeth. "FORGIVE YOU?!" He askes again, but it was louder this time.
Poor Tae Ha, who was trying to get out from Mr. Kim's grip, replied with fear in his voice. "...y-yes!" He answered with angst.
Mr. Kim brought Tae Ha, who was still held by his hand, closer to him and said, "Do it again and your body will be the next food for the dogs," he paused. "Do you understand?!" He asked Tae Ha in a very loud and scary voice.
Tae Ha just nodded anxiously, being scared to death. Finally, the doctor let go of his neck and left the room, leaving Tae Ha coughing heavily.

7 AM in the morning and Jungkook was munching a bread on his mouth while sitting in one of the chairs of the dining table. He was still not in the mood because of what happened in dawn. One thing that he really dont like for sure was not getting enough sleep due to some unworthy disturbance, just like what happened to him at 3 AM.
"Oh? You up already?" Jimin noticed him as he stepped inside the kitchen while ruffling his hair to a bath towel, drying his wet mint-colored hair. He just took a bath and didn't know that the maknae was up already. "Miracle!" He exclaimed enthusiastically as he sat on the chair, opposite from Jungkook.
Jungkook glared at Jimin, making him raised his hands, surrending himself. "Okay okay... What happened to you and why are you such in a crabby mood so early in the morning?" He asked, grabbing some bread and ate it.
Jungkook swallowed his food first and said, "Earlier in dawn-" But before he could finish, Jimin interrupted.
"Earlier in dawn?" He asked.
"Yes. Earlier in dawn, well I don't know what time it is but someone called me and-"
"Someone called you?!"
"Ahh Jimin! Can you just shut up for how many seconds and let me continue what I am saying?" Jungkook asked in annoyance as he ruffled his hair once.
Jimin zipped his mouth, swallowed, and nodded.
Jungkook just rolled his eyes and grabbed another bread. "As what I am saying, someone called at dawn. He didn't told me who he was though but he mentioned Tae Tae. I think it was his nurse but the weirdest things is, the call ended before he could say anything about what he was supposed to tell," he explained.
"Maybe that was really a nurse from the hospital or something," Jimin concluded confusedly.
Jungkook just shrugged. "Maybe. But disturbing my sleep is unforgivable. I'll literally kill him if he was just here," he said and scoffed.
"That's weird. Why would he call you at dawn to report something about Taehyung? Unless it was urgent. Something is definitely wrong here. We should tell this to the hyungs," Jimin said.
Jungkook just nodded, finishing eating his bread before he went to the bathroom.
While Jimin on the other hand, stared on the window opposite him as he was thinking of something.
Tae, please be safe...
