'hyung' the younger called out. 'you won't believe what i just saw' taehyung's head rose, while he stared at the younger who was running up to him. taehyung didn't care, but he did not want to be rude to jungkook so he acted like he was interested in the conversation.

'what did you see kook?' taehyung asked him.

'i saw a girl-'

'jungkook' taehyung warned him, he didn't want to hear anything. he thought it was going to be one of jungkook's many girl friends that he wanted to set on a date with his hyung.

'no hyung i promise it isn't a blind date this time. she probably wouldn't even like you cause she already had some company' he emphasized the word company.

'why did you say it like that?' the elder raised an eyebrow.

'she was talking to herself hyung'

taehyung snorted.

'and? what's so weird about it?'

jungkook stared at the elder. 'don't you remember who else was like that? wouldn't you like to meet her and talk with her? she obviously needs some kind of help.' the younger pleaded.

'jungkook, i won't have any of this right now. i'm kind of busy if you can't tell.'

taehyung turned around, walking away from jungkook.

'but areum would have begged you too, because you helped her. so why don't you give it a try?'

'no'

'but hyung...'

'areum died jungkook. i couldn't help her. she was sick and so is that girl too. there is no help i can give so leave me alone' and with that, he walked away.

'what's up with him?' yoongi appeared out of nowhere.

'i guess i touched his wounds.' yoongi sighed.

'what did you do now jungkook?'

'i met this girl last night. she talked to 'someone' but there was no one besides her. i mean, it was only the two of us. she reminded me of areum, so i asked hyung to talk with her. he saved areum so maybe he could do that with that girl'

'jungkook, areum couldn't be saved. just leave that girl be.' yoongi put a hand on the younger's shoulder but he brushed it off.

'hyung, areum died because none of you had enough bravery to send her to a hospital and maybe see a doctor. she died because her hallucinations took advantage of her okay? i don't know if the girl i met is sick at all, but hell i'm going to help her i don't care what any of you say'

jungkook was a brave kid. in his head. he wasn't brave enough to do all the things he said. he was afraid and so was everyone around him.

mina found a small hotel, somewhere in this city. it was not a secret that she didn't know where she was and what this place was. previously, before she left, she had packed some things in her bags and you could say she ran away from home. she wondered if her brother and father were worried about her. she checked her phone, remembering that she turned it off.turning the phone on, she was met by almost 43 missed phone calls from her brother and probably around 99+ messages.

hell, they really were worried.

'you know they only want you to come back just so they can bring you back into the hospital, so they can make you forget me' namjoon appeared out of nowhere.

'namjoon, they are my family, they wouldn't do that' namjoon rolled his eyes.

'yeah sure, that's what they want you to think' it would be one of these moments where mina and namjoon would fight because of her family.

her family knew he was just a fragment of her imagination. that didn't mean he didn't exist. he in fact did, just not anymore... but his death affected her more than anything, that's why she was here where she was.

she searched through her backpack for something. namjoon peaked to see what she was searching for. the girl pulled out a small polaroid of her and namjoon. on the beach. she smiled at the beautiful memories. it was the last picture they ever took, before he died. the moment then was beautiful, but what came after wasn't really. they fought. they fought a lot. a tear rolled down her cheek.

namjoon hugged her from behind. 'namjoon, i miss you'

'but i'm here angel, i'm here. i'm not leaving you i promise' she couldn't feel his touch. or so she thought. but she felt his presence. she knew she wasn't sick, but she didn't know why everyone else thought so.

maybe they are the ones that need help?
