Seokjin's POV:
"Seokjin... It's time you know the truth." The truth about what? I wondered. Namjoon was acting so strange.
I might not be able to see him, but I can feel it in him. I can tell that he's not being himself, and that worries me. On top of it all, I can't get Hyunseok out of my head and the thought of what Jihoon told me in Heaven.
Why do I feel so anxious? The darkness within me is driving me crazy. I feel suffocated.
I can't see, so I can't just get up to go find Hyunseok myself, because... I could end up falling and injuring myself again. And that's a risk I can't take. But something is wrong. I feel it.
It's not like Hyunseok to remain so absent. And what's worse, is the fact that Namjoon won't allow me to call him. It's almost as if he was keeping him a secret from me.
"Doctor, can you give us a moment?" I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard his voice speaking to the doctor. Later on, the sound of a door shutting from far away made me feel a sense of relief and suspicion at the same time.
"Namjoon, please tell me! Why are you acting so strange!"
"Hyunseok..." He managed to silence me in a matter of seconds when he mentioned my brother's name in his incomplete sentence.
"Hyunseok was..."
"Was!? Oh, so you know where he is?" I turned my neck around, trying my best to face Namjoon, unsure if I was facing him, or another part of the hospital.
"Seokjin... Your brother got..." He paused again, making me lose my patience.
"Namjoon!! Just tell me what happened!" I snapped, feeling anxious to know where Hyunseok was.
...I wish I had waited to know instead....
"Dead... No. No, he can't be." My body went numb from my head to my toes. Namjoon attempted to comfort me when he was called by a doctor and left my side for a moment.
"Hyunseok... Hyunseok can't be dead!!" My eyes no longer developed tears. I could only feel the pain within, and it was worse than not being able to cry.
My heart rate accelerated as I struggled to get up. While no one was around, I left my room, immediately after finding my phone.
"Hyunseok!" I called Hyunseok's name everywhere I turned to, unsure of where I was until my hands collided with a cold door. My arms pushed on the heavy door until I was finally able to get out of the hospital.
With one hand, I held onto my phone. And with my freed one, I clenched my chest. My head was spinning uncontrollably.
The moment I was outside, a blast of cold air whipped against my bridle body, making me shiver from the coldness I felt. While withstanding the windy weather conditions, I held the phone up to my mouth and started talking into it.
"Call Hyunseok!" My smartphone usually obeys my command in every call I make. That's why it has a hands free built-in Google talk, so I could contact anyone from my phone while driving or when I'm busy.
"CALL HYUNSEOK!" However, at my third attempt to call Hyunseok, my phone didn't do anything. It was then that I realized why it wasn't taking the call from my contact's list.
I was saying the wrong name. With a heaviness in my chest, and a sense of nostalgia filling up in my lungs, I shakily held the phone up to my lips once again and spoke into it, hoping that it would obey me this time.
"Call Seok 2..." After it rang three times, an automatic voice message popped up. But this wasn't any ordinary, boring voice recording.
It was Hyunseok's voice message...
"If you're a regular human being: "Hello! You've reached the voice mailbox of Kim Hyunseok. I'll return your call whenever I have the time to do so."
If you happen to be my wombmate: WHAT'S COOKIN' GOOD LOOKIN'? Not as good looking as me, however- "10 seconds remaining" HOW DARE YOU- , Anyways, I hope you're doing well! Sorry I couldn't answer you- "5 seconds remaining" I'll call you back later, Seok 1!!
P.S I LOVE YOU! GOODBYE!"
“At the tone, please record your voice message.”
“Seok 2... Does Heaven have a phone I could call you in?”
If this is the last time hearing your voice, why do I still feel like you're going to answer me, Hyunseok?
~~~
I was later on found by Namjoon in the middle of the street. I begged him to not take me back to the hospital; All I wanted at the moment was to go back to a place I once called home.
I say "once called" because my house will no longer feel like a home.
Not without Hyunseok.
Namjoon cooperated with me and did the impossible to let the doctor release me from the hospital, even after finding out I had attempted to escape it in the first place.
He seemed skeptical about letting me leave at first, but eventually he softened up and allowed me to leave. Once I was finally out and in Namjoon's car, a familiar smell nearly sent back to the hospital again from the severe mental breakdown I had when inhaling it, the moment I got back inside of the car.
Namjoon comforted me as I snuggled the seat I was currently sitting in.
"This was the seat Hyunseok sat in... His cologne is still here...."
I allowed my shaken body to relax, as we eventually made it to a place I used to call home.
I say "used to" because this house will never be considered "home" ever again...
Not without Hyunseok.
