"Help! Help!" Taehyung shouted as he saw Jung-kook dropping to the floor. He felt powerless to aid someone who looked stronger and more able than he was, so his screams were more punctured.
Immediately, a woman appeared beside the unconscious man and crunched down, putting his head on her lap. She tapped his cheeks in an effort to rouse her master.
"Sir! Sir!" the maid appealed to Taehyung. "Can you please get the medicine in that drawer? It's the only clear bottle with tiny pills."
Taehyung nodded and maneuvered himself towards the bureau and fetched the vial. As he's about to close the compartment, something fell out.
It was an old photograph of a young, handsome lad, probably his host, and beside him was another teenager with his arms around the boy's shoulders. Jung-kook had a soft smile on his face while the nameless youth donning a straw hat looked on.
"Hurry!" The female beckoned, seeing how the guest was transfixed on an object.
Hearing the exclamation, Taehyung quickly picked up the picture and tucked it by the arms of his wheelchair before proceeding to hand over the bottle.
The housekeeper opened Jung-kook's mouth and placed a white pellet underneath his tongue.
"Wha..what's that?" Taehyung asked.
Sae-ron looked at the visitor, unsure whether she should tell him about the man lying prone on the ground. She thought it best not to decide for her master and gave a vague answer.
"Ah...this? It's just for episodes like these."
Taehyung sensed the woman's hesitance and did not inquire further.
"Sorry to disturb you, but I better get going, no need to walk me out."
"Thank you," Sae-ron said solemnly, wishing she an idea of what to do. Whether to stop Taehyung from leaving, whether to let him go, as she didn't know what Jung-kook wanted or what was for the best.
In the end, Taehyung left.
As he slowly descended the hill, Taehyung stopped and rested his chair by the curb. He pulled out the photograph and studied the figure next to Jung-kook. The boy looked so familiar as if he's staring at himself in the mirror.
