Captivated by Immortality

14: Attractive Model, Kim Seokjin

I slowly went inside and sauntered to my room.

I glided towards the balcony that was hidden behind the glass doors.

I slid open the doors that led to the balcony and slid my feet across the concrete ground that supported me.

I spotted the cozy hammock that stood in the corner of the balcony.
I dragged myself over to the hammock and stretched myself onto it.

I was staring at the dark sky that was lit by the twinkling lights of the stars.

I was lost in thought as I made out the alignments that the stars made.

"THE BOOK!"

-

Haerin, Minhyuk, and Taehyung walked along the dark path that was dimly lit by the streetlights.

"I'm so tired," Minhyuk complained, "do we have to find the rest of your friends: they don't remember you anyway-- OW! What was that for?"
Before Minhyuk continued, Haerin smack him on the back of the head.

"Don't be rude, they'll remember again." Haerin scolded while looking at the boy who was now rubbing his head after the forceful hit.

Taehyung silently watched as the two bickered

He couldn't help but to grin at the individuals.

Haerin finally came back to reality and glared at Minhyuk. "What?" He looked at her confusingly and she gestured to Taehyung.

"Don't you have something to say to him?"

"No, I don't think so..." he said, still confused.

Haerin smacked him again; she was losing her patience.

Minhyuk then widened his eyes in realization, "Oh! You want me to apologize," he turned and faced Taehyung, "I'm sorry Tae, I'm sure your friends will remember you."

Minhyuk gave him a reassuring smile which Taehyung returned.

"It's okay, hyung, you were just speaking the truth," he paused, "they might not ever remember me."

Haerin slightly frowned.

She got in between the two and slung her arms around their shoulders, "now look here, we have to stay positive," she enthusiastically said, trying to lighten the mood.

Miran raced back into the building and turned the lights on.

As the lights started flickering on, Miran headed to her desk.

She fumbled through the papers that were lying there. Nothing.

She pulled open the drawers and searched through them. No book.

"Damn it! Where is it?" She groaned and mentally cursed.

She started panicking as she crouched down on the floor, thinking of the worst.

What if I dropped it somewhere or someone took it-

She thought about everyone she was around in the last few hours.

It couldn't have been one of the others, I had the book when I came here earlier.

Unless...

"Yoongi!"

-

The trio sat on the porch of Minhyuk's home.

"Okay, so all we have left to find is Yoongi, Seokjin, and Namjoon?" Minhyuk asked as he looked at the names on the paper they had written on.

"You've asked me that three times already," Taehyung said.
