Elementals : Story of Colours || Jin

14 - Divergent

...

"Shock is an understatement"

...

This time it is not the mother but the father. It is not a question nor request but it is an order. Seokjung nods before standing up from his sitting position on the couch.

"Father-" Jin tries again.

"I'm going to talk to your mother first" his father states with authority in his tone.

Jin knows he can never argue with that. His parents left the living room.

"Why are you still freezing?"

The moment his brother touches his hand, he was in shock. How is this brother of his is still freezing? Jin looks at Seokjung in his eyes, tears filled in his eyes. He knows their parents is hiding something from him. Jin knows that.

"Come with me, I'm going to-" Seokjung tries.

"It is not going to work. It is me. I'm the one who did this to myself" Jin says before his brother could finished his sentence.

"Trust me okay? Let's get back to your room"

"I need all of four of you in his room too" Seokjung says looking at the four men, Junghwan, Jimin, Yoongi and Jungkook.

Once they get into the room, Seokjung sets Jin sitting up onto the bed.

"Are you alright? No lie" Seokjung asks.

"No, I'm not" Jin shortly replies

"Jin"

"Seokjin"

"Hey Jin, why are your eyes turning blue back and forth?" Seokjung asks again as he is trying to understand whether it's Jin who voluntarily did that or something else.

And at the right moment, a sharp pain appears on his chest like he's being punched multiple times only on the chest.

"Deep breath"

It is more like an order though it sounds so gentle. But then the pain appears again so Jin clutch his chest. It was then a fade colour of blue glow appears that Seokjung grabs Jin's hand, preventing him to touch his chest area. Upon reaching onto Jin's hand, Seokjung could see the fingertips turn blue again.

"Warm him up" Seokjung orders Yoongi.

Yoongi didn't argue back.

"Focus on me brother. Look at me in the eyes. You're hurting yourself" Seokjung says as he cups Jin's face so that the latter meet his eyes.

"You don't und-"

He stops as he takes a breath greedily.

"You don't understand" Jin mutters, with his voice alone everyone knows he is struggling.

It's been a few minutes now but the blue lips and the blue fingertips didn't leave any hint of disappearing at all.

"If this goes on for another two minutes, I'm going to soak you into the warm water again, you're worrying me" the brother says.

Not even thirty seconds after the words his brother muttered, his eyes threatening to close as it feels like someone or rather something is forcing it to close. Then before Jin could really get the hold of himself trying to snap out from his hazy mind, he is being carried away to his bathroom specifically into his bathtub.

His mind is so hazy and his eyelids feels so heavy. He might looks ridiculous with how much he is trying to gather himself. When the water filled in the tub, Jin didn't feel warm nor cold. He is just too numb to feel anything.
