I Need U (Kim Namjoon x Reader)

Chapter 19

Early morning, when the moon was on its way down to allow the sun to rise, something was awfully wrong. You ran to the bathroom, everything in your body was coming out from your mouth. Along with that were major headaches and some blindspots in your visions. Just as you finished cleaning yourself up, your legs gave out and you only saw darkness as your lifeless body crashed to the ground. At the same time. Taehyung jolted up from his bed and feet scrambling to reach the door. His heart dropped to his stomach when he saw you unconscious.

"Eomma, appa! Call an ambulance." It was different from all the other time you fainted. The colors had drained from your face, your cheeks were pale while your lips had lost their pinkish hue. He continued cradling you while thee ambulance came. Everything was in slow motion.

Taehyung hadn't moved from his spot since you got to the hospital, which was a few days ago. He refused to go back home to rest because he was afraid of you waking up without him. Besides, he didn't want to be away from you. It's as if this twin sense would break if he leaves you now. You both needed each other in order to get better right now.

Your mother was wiping your face with a wet cloth. Her eyes were puffy from the lack of sleep. Dr. Jung then entered with your father, who wore trousers and a loose t-shirt, something he would never wear out but he could care less about his reputation right now. Taehyung turned around to face them, still not getting out of his seat. Your mother stopped wiping and approached him.

"How is she?"

"Evident by how she's not waking up still, we can only conclude that she's in a comma. The tumor is spreading quickly and you need to consider surgery soon or else she might die." Your father held your mother's body as it fumbled backward.

"But the surgery, there's a 50/50 chance she would survive. Please, there has to be some other options." your mother cried. Taehyung hadn't seen her cry this hard since you were diagnosed.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Kim. This is the only way. We have the best doctors here and we will try our best to help Y/N." This time Taehyung did get up, but then kneeled down in front of Dr. Jung. The doctor gasped and tried to pick him up.

"Sir, please. Save her, I don't care what you have to do just wake her up." he cried, tear dampening the floor below.

"Taehyung, I will wake her up. I promise." Dr. Jung said calmly with confidence. Taehyung went back to you while your parents discuss the surgery. Taehyung held your hand and kissed it.

"Please stay strong for us, Y/N. There are so many people here who loves you." he told you. The surgery was set for tomorrow, but still Taehyung hesitated to leave you. But it was getting late and he couldn't miss school any longer. He shook his head at the idea that popped up in his mind, but it might help. He pulled out his phone and dialed the number.

Namjoon pulled the hood up and his mask to cover all of his face. He waited until the shop owner left before making his move. It would be the last time, he told himself. Whatever was inside was important to him because it's important to someone he loves. The front light turned off and the silhouette of the owner exited through the front door. The door shut with a loud click. Namjoon waited a few minutes and then went to the back.

The backdoor was easy to hack since the lock was old and the man had always been too lazy to replace it. But the man also was in charge of the biggest gang in the area, so no one would dare mess with him, except Namjoon. Being one of his minions before and almost worked his way to his right-hand man, Namjoon knew the ins and outs of the operations and place. When he went to pawn the hairpin, he thought it would be the last time he ever set foot in this place. He never thought he would come back here ever, but he would do anything for you now.

He made his way to the safe behind a locked room. The man distinguished objects by materials and values. The pins had rare jades and gold so it would be locked in the biggest safe. Luck was on his side when he realized it was the same code as when he worked for the man. The pin was under some pile of gold but it still looked new and intact. Just as he was about to leave, he saw flashlights at the end of the corner and voices. He was caught and he would die.

Not today, he told himself. Then he ran, jumping down the railing instead of using the staircase. Men ran after him, they voices filling the night and shadows. Namjoon almost made it to the busy streets but something hit him in the back of the neck. A bat. It made him fumble, losing his balance a little. One man took the opportunity to kick him to the ground. "I guess you want to die today, Namjoon." The other man kicked his face, Namjoon coughed up some blood. His vision was giving out on him, he felt every bone cracking as the men kicked him. But he couldn't give up. He used some bottles on the ground and smashed it into one man's head. He fell backward and the other got confused. Namjoon kicked him down and he fell on top of the first man. The owner should really stop hiring out of shape guards.

He ran again, this time to a spot that no one would find him. That was when his phone rang.
