Doppelgänger✔️

New Face

"....Mine..."

".....miine......"

".......you'll be MINE!!"

"Aahh!!!"

Taehyung jolts awake, drenched in sweat.
His clothes stuck to him and everything around him was too bright.
He grimaced as the lights of the tiny room brought him out of his unconsciousness.

"..w...where..." he panted as he struggled to sit up. A tug of resistance brings his attention to the thin clear tubes taped to his forearm leading up to a bag of yellow liquid hanging on a rack beside the bed.

Taehyung frowns when his eyes focus on his surroundings.

He was in the hospital.

His eyes scan over to his left, where he spotted Mae and Jimin seated quietly.

The sudden movements alert Mae to wake up slowly.

"Tae?" Mae croaks as she peels her eyes open. She leans up from where she sat.

Jimin snored lightly next to her, slumped over against the wall. She taps the sleeping beauty hard against the chest to wake him.

"Jimin. He's up."

Jimin sniffs and yawns as he sat upright then slapped his hands over his swollen face and messy hair.

"...what is...what happened?" Taehyung asks through a dry throat.

"You passed out. At the party." Mae answers.

"Party?" Taehyung quirks his brow.

"Yea......you don't remember?" She asks in surprise.

Taehyung shakes his head and frowns.
He blinks in thought as he looked away.

"Wait...." Jimin stands.

"So you don't remember anything?" He asks.

Taehyung studies Jimin and Maes's confused faces as they stared at him.

"I remember......."

A rush of images flash through Taehyungs mind, some that felt like memories, others that seemed like a dream his subconscious made him forget. They quickly overwhelm him and manifest into a sharp pain right between his eyes.

He hisses in discomfort at the zinger, the heart monitor beeping as his heart rate spiked.

Mae stands quickly to place a hand at Taehyungs shoulder to gently ease him back against the pillows.
"Hey hey... it's ok just rest."

The beeping subsides just a short woman with a jet black pixie cut wearing glasses and a white coat walks into the room. Mae retreats to where she sat, joining Jimin to stand as the doctor approaches Taehyungs bed.

"Good morning. I'm Dr. Kang...how are you feeling?"

"Like shit.." Taehyung grumbles honestly, earning a chuckle from the young doctor.

"Yea well. That's to be expected after a night of drinking." She says casually as she checked over Taehyungs pupil response with the penlight.

After checking the vitals on the machines and scribbling on a clipboard, she tucks her penlight into her coat pocket.

"Ok so. You are extremely dehydrated. Your blood-alcohol level was at 0.27% so that explains why you passed out."

"Is that high?" Mae asks with wide eyes.

"Extremely. 0.35 to 0.40 is considered fatal. So any more and you could have been in far worse shape than you are now."

Taehyung pales at her words.
