3AM: Life or Death?

Chapter 10

Jungkook POV

"'Time to end this'? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I whisper to myself, finding it extremely odd and out of place for him to have gotten on vlive for literally just two minutes before saying that and leaving. That was literally the most substantial thing that he'd said the entire two minutes, and ended it right after...

Sighing, I climb out of bed as I grow even more worried than I had been for my hyung before. I know he doesn't want me around and he's just going to be cold to me when I try to ask him what it was all about, but I can't help it. Not this time. I'm worried about what he said and why he got on for such a short amount of time, worried for what's been going on and what all he's been hiding.

Leaving my room, I head to his bedroom first, unsure whether he's already there or if he's still in his studio. Though, opening his bedroom, I don't find him inside and his bathroom light is off. Sighing with a small frown, I head downstairs next, wondering why he's still down there. Sticking my hands into my sweatpants pockets, I walk across the hardwood flooring barefoot, slowing going over to his studio that still has its light on inside. Walking over to it, I knock on the door lightly. Waiting for a response, I frown when I don't get one, pushing the door open without his consent. Though, I'm caught completely off guard when I find that he's not inside, the reason for no response.

Growing panicked over the absence of my hyung, I step back out of his studio room worriedly. Glancing over to our pile of shoes, I notice that his are still missing, increasing my level of panic even more as I quickly run back up to my room and grab my phone. As I race back away from my room with my phone in hand, I slam my hand against Namjoon hyungs door a few times as I pass by, wanting to wake him and anyone else possible up as I run down the hall, down the stairs and over to the door. Slipping my shoes on, I hear someone's door creak open from upstairs.

"Yoongi's missing! I'm going to find him!" I shout to whoever's listening before throwing he door open and running out, just narrowly managing to swing it shut behind me. Racing down to the end of the drive, I stop to try and think of where he could've possibly gone.

"Think damn it. Think." I mutter to myself quietly. Though, an idea soon pops into my mind, an unlikely one but the only one I have at the moment. Recalling the time a few years ago when we had gone to the pier, I remember how content and happy he'd been. How much he enjoyed the calm scenery. Biting my lip, I hope on everything good that it's where he's at, quickly beginning to jog towards town so that I can catch a cab to the location that's a twenty minute drive from here.

It doesn't take long to catch one, but the drive there feels excruciatingly long. The fear of not knowing whether he's really there worries me, wishing I could just know where the hell he went and what his intentions are.

Though, as I spot the location slowly coming into view, my heart sinks faster than a ship in my chest. It's dark out, the middle of night making it nearly impossible to see much of anything outside. I don't need my sight to recall the tall scaffolding that had been left here though, fear coursing through my veins as to what's going on. Pulling my phone out, I quickly send Namjoon a text of where I'm fairly sure he is, of where I'm headed.

When the car finally stops, I toss the man more than enough money to cover the ride, jumping out of the car and running away from it.

"Yoongi?! Hyung!" I scream as loud as possible, running towards where I'm fairly sure the pier is. The longer I'm in the dark, the better I can begin to see, soon being able to make out the outline of the scaffolding and a silhouette on the top of it. My eyes widen at the sight, terrified as I run closer.

"Hyung! Yoongi, please!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I watch as the head turns down towards me, my heart breaking even more. With the clouds slowly moving away from the moon and that we're a decent way away from the majority of the city, it's light enough for me to actually be able to see fairly well. I can see Yoongi's figure at the very top, looking down at me with a saddened look.

"Hyung, please come down from there. It's not safe." I call up to him nervously, fearful for what's happening. However, he just gives me a small beautiful smile, waving just a tiny bit before returning his gaze to the large body of water in front of us.

"Hyung! Please!" I yell fearfully. Though, it doesn't seem to stop him, standing here frozen as I watch him run towards the edge of the scaffolding and jumping off it. The sound of his body making hard contact with the water shatters my heart, not being able to do anything but just stand here with tears forming and rolling down my cheeks.

Forcing myself to break out of the trance, I numbly call Namjoon, hearing him pick up on the first ring.

"Jungkook? Is everything okay? What happened? Did you find him?" He rambles off instantly.

"He's here, hyung. Where I texted you. He jumped though, and he's not resurfacing either." I respond softly through the tears. I hear his end fall silent before something finally snaps inside of me.

I don't wanna lose him. I can't. I can't lose him like this.

Dropping my cellphone, I run towards the edge and jump into the water, searching for him at all costs.
