Anpanman (still on break, unfortunately)

Chapter 37

Author's POV

The elevated ground dropped with extreme velocity, making Jimin's blood run cold just by how fast it is. The mountain-like earth structure turned into fine dust that soon fell on the grassy plain, some of the boys coughed due to inhalation of dust.

"Guys. Emergency. Two of the girls are in the hospital," Jungkook briefly said. Randomly, all of them felt a wave of panic crash upon them.

a few minutes later...

7 men dashed to the counter, asking for the room numbers. The lady gave them the room numbers, and they finally went to the designated floor.

They opened the doors, and saw two young women lying on hospital beds. They were accompanied by their 5 best friends, who are anxiously waiting for them to wake up. Jennie sighed, and gave Seokjin her key, which was soon followed by Chae.

"Keep them. Please. We should've given you these keys long before we knew about this whole thing. Now, it cost my friends' safety," Chae muttered in a gloomy voice. She once loved and treasured that key, but if it causes her another loved ones, she's better off without it. After all, they had to return it at some point of their lives. Jimin's heart ached, which mystified the boy.

Namjoon, Momo, and Joy went outside the room, and sat down on the seats right beside the door. Both girls remained silent, and it's up to Namjoon to break it.

"Sorry. We're sorry for not... doing our missions right," he gulped as he continued, "We became too immersed in trying to control our powers that we forgot about you guys."

Joy still has her mouth shut. She knows that she shouldn't blame her friends, but still, it's a little upsetting that they failed to protect them.

"It's ok, Namjoon oppa. None of you holds destiny. It's upsetting, yes, but at least you guys kept us safe all these months. Maybe... maybe a little space would be beneficial for us, as we try to move on first. We don't want to put the blames on you, and I think it would be better if we take a break from each other first," said Momo. Every sentence has a pause. Namjoon nodded and stood up, leaving the two girls alone.

Jungkook walked near Lisa. His co-worker. His friend. Possibly his crush, but let's not focus on that first. Regret filled his heart. He regrets that they forgot about the whole 'their lives are in danger' thingy. His heart aches. He doesn't know why. It's probably because he grew to love her during the past months. He grew to like her childish antics, her personality, everything about her. That is until his memories faded. Now, she's a girl with three broken ribs, bruised body, and a gash on her stomach.

Yoongi had a sudden flashback of when he ate together with Wendy. A smile made its way to his features as he reminisced their talks. And now, she's lying on a hospital bed, a large wound on her back, with a fractured leg and a broken arm.

Jin walked towards Jisoo, giving her a warm hug. He doesn't know why he did so, but eh. I mean, if someone really needs to be comforted, wrapping your arms around them like a tortilla wrap is a good choice. Jisoo hugged back, I mean, who wouldn't? He's Seokjin for swag's sake.

Taehyunh just stood there, holding Jennie's hand while drawing circles on it. As a sign of comfort, of course. Jennie didn't mind, in fact, it made her heart thump faster.

Jimin, on the other hand, just stood beside Chaeyoung. Chae stared at the unconscious bodies, questions flooding her mind. Fear slowly seeping in. Yes, it's a good news that they're alive and not much of a damage has been done unto them, but imagine if they died or something. That would be a grim day.

Jisoo wanted space. She wanted a few days break from everything. She knows that none of this is their fault, but being with someone who reminds her that powers do exist stresses her out. She pulled out from the hug, and told Jin about her feelings, "Jin, is it ok if you guys... leave us alone first? My mind is just in pure shambles right now, and I can't think straight. It would be good to have a little breather, especially from the whole... Mylophins and Arcanians thing. Is it ok?"
