Cursed Fate

Chapter 71- birthday part 2

JIMIN POV:

There's the blaring of a phone, a loud incessant ring that keeps on going and going, forcing me awake, reaching over Joon hyung to pick up the phone. Hyung shifts slightly, face scrunching up as the sound begins to awaken him. Behind me Kookie begins to shift too.

I answer the call, a glance at the screen telling me it's Mark hyung.

I frown when I notice that it's still dark outside. It's really early in the morning, what could be so important that Mark hyung is calling at this time?

I hope everything is fine.

I answer the phone, with my heart in my throat.

"Namjoon—" Mark hyung's voice comes in, firm and cuts through the sleep that still hovers over me.

Forces me awake.

"It's Jimin, what's wrong Mark hyung?" I ask fearfully into the phone.

I don't know when he awoke, but Namjoon hyung is blinking his eyes awake and is looking at me with concern. Behind me Kookie shifts uneasily before the weight in the mattress changes as he comes closer, looping his arm around me as he sits upright.

"What's wrong? What's wrong Jimin? You're asking me that? Wow, seriously?!" he asks incredulously, anger seeping into his voice as it gets louder.

There's some noise on his end, it sounds like he's moving, before he speaks up again.

"Well Jimin, let me tell you as you are all so clearly ignorant. Where is (Y/N)?" He asks, voice trembling with mounting anger.

(Y/N)? Why is he asking about her?

"(Y/N)...she's asleep hyung. She's in her room." I reply, unsure as to where the conversation is going. The other two are fully awake now, bustling closer as they try to hear what hyung is saying.

There's a brief period of silence, the sound of Mark hyung breathing deeply. But then the door opens and Yoongi hyung rushes in, his ruffled hair and dishevelled clothes telling me he's just gotten out of bed. Behind him, Hobi hyung follows- biting his lip with worry as he eyes us all, eyes uncertain about what's happened.

"Are you sure Jimin? You're positive that she's in her room asleep." He questions, voice hard.

I look uncertainly at the others, a slither of doubt entering my mind.

"Hyung...you put (Y/N) to bed, right?" I ask Hobi hyung, who nods- slightly confused. But even so, I'm sliding out of bed as I rush out the room, the others right behind me.

The commotion awakens Jin hyung and Tae who appear in their doorway, eyes groggy with sleep but quickly awakening when they take in the rush as we hurry past.

I approach the door with the beginnings of nausea, a slightly sickening feeling as I use my ability to gently open the door, peering in almost fearfully.

The bed is empty. Sheets thrown aside and void of our final soulmate. She's not there. She's not there.

I turn to them.

"She's not there." I gasp, voice slightly wavery.

I bring the phone back up to my ear.

"Found out Jimin? She's not there because for the past few hours she has been crying, she cried herself into exhaustion, she's been inconsolable, and now finally, finally....she's sleeping. And only because I had to use my ability on her." he says, voice slightly hysterical.

The breath in my throat catches, unable to move past the lump that threatens to choke me.

I make a pained sound, grip tightening on the phone.
