[Jin] Bankrupt

I noticed how Seokjin wasn't the same as usual. He was acting different. He would stare blankly at something and overflow a cup of water, feel nauseous out of no where, have a weak voice as if he was ill, we thought he had developed some sort of disease. We had to bring him to the hospital. I really didn't know what had happened to him after that car accident. Did his wound on his forehead get infected? But he treated it, right? So it shouldn't be infected...

"HEY! HELP!" Someone suddenly cried for help. "SEOKJIN-! HE..-! HE FAINTED!"

Jimin. I recognized that sweet voice of his.

I rushed out of the studio and entered Jin's studio only to see an unconscious Jin and a worried Jimin. Jimin was shaking him, hoping for a response. But nothing. The others came rushing in, which included Namjoon, Jungkook (who was now recovered), Hoseok and Y/N. They were all around the body, trying to do all these typical things you would see in movies; shaking someone unconscious one thousand times and calling his name repeatedly, doing CPR which was seriously unnecessary. Y/N was smart enough to call the police. I, however, wasn't like them whatsoever. I looked around the studio for clues, keys for his strange behavior. On his desk, I found a few random sticky notes- um... is that how we call them? Anyway, I read them all and was so confused. One read "nightmare", then "family", then "depressed", and one that caught my eye in particular was "death".

"You guys, come here." I demanded.
"I can't though," Jungkook said, "I have to continue doing CPR-"
"Jungkook," I cut him off, "you do know what CPR is meant for right?"

Jungkook stopped and looked at Jin's face.

"Does he still have a heart pulse?" I asked.

Hoseok took out two fingers and pressed them against the side of Seokjin's neck.

"Normal pulse... he's still breathing. He simply fainted." Hoseok stated.

Everyone sighed in relief, besides me and Hoseok.

"Anyway," I continued, "as I said, you guys should come here-"

Y/N noticed me holding sticky notes and so she casually walked by me to read them out loud. But before even doing so, she read them all rapidly in her mind and gasped, not just any gasp, a gasp full of terror, bad news.

"What the hell..." Y/N mumbled, taking all the sticky notes and reading each one of them over and over. "What are these even for?"

I looked around the room and something caught my eye. Seokjin was holding his phone. I approached the body as Hoseok, Jungkook and Jimin backed off. I grabbed the phone and unlocked it - yeah, Jin doesn't have a pass code. None of us does. It's one of the rules that we must follow - Messages. We were spawned directly on iMessage. I immediately came with a conclusion.

"Seokjin must have fainted after reading the text messages on his phone." I said.
"That's possible actually." Namjoon said.

Everyone gathered around me, curious to know what happened, to read them. I clicked on his recent contact.

"Eomma." Jimin read carelessly.
"Her mom." Jungkook said.

The texting was long, so we scrolled up a lot. We finally found where everything started. And oh my god-

"No way..." Jimin gasped silently. "His family got bankrupt?!"
"This isn't good..." Y/N said. "Something bad must've happened at Seokjin's parents' job. I swear business gets so much on my nerves sometimes, you can make someone homeless within a day."
"Plus they're a high-class family!" Jimin added.

They were all discussing about all the possible things that could've happened while I kept reading and analyzing the messages.

"My question is why didn't Jin's mom tell his own son the reason they went bankrupt?" I said finally.

Everyone exchanged looks and shrugged in realization.

"Hey, you're right." Jimin said, scrolling back up the messages. "It looks like Seokjin was even trying to get her eomma to explain, but she-"

Jimin's eyes widened as his brows furrowed.

"Completely ignored it." He said under his breath.

Y/N sighed and rested on the floor.

"Don't you guys find something off?" She asked tiredly.

We all glanced over to her.

"What do you mean?" Namjoon asked.
"Just- like... how everything went downhill after that one night?"

We all jogged our memories to remember what Y/N meant by "that one night". I suddenly remembered something.

"You mean that dinner party we attended a year ago?" I asked to confirm.

Y/N sighed loudly again and nodded.

"Oh sh*t.." Namjoon cursed. "I never want to remember that night again."
"I don't think any of us wants to remember that." Jungkook mumbled.
