SPLIT (COMPLETED)

you're still here

Ten minutes have gone since Seokjin and Chaeyoung came to the building where Jungkook lives at. However, they got stuck at the guardhouse when they try to get Jungkook's penthouse number from the security guard. Even though Seokjin knows Jungkook lives there, he does not know his penthouse number exactly.

"Oppa, you're a cop. Tell the security you're a cop. I'm sure he'll tell us which one is Jungkook's house.", Chaeyoung tries to ask Seokjin to use his authority with the security guard.

He clicks his tongue to Chaeyoung's idea feeling regret that he came to her house when she called him this morning. Jisoo has gone to work so she does not know about Chaeyoung asking Seokjin for help. He never thought that help she needed involves Jungkook.

"Oppa, please...we need to see him. Please..", she keeps begging with her sweetest voice and hopeful hand gesture.

"Okay, okay. Wait here.", once again he walks out of his car and goes to the guardhouse to talk to the security guard.

When he faces the annoyed look of the security guard, he smiles widely before starting to speak with him.

"Annyeong, security guard Park Jinyoung.", he greets while looking at the nametag of the security guard.

"Just call me JYP and for the third time, what's your business here?", the security guard asks him directly.

"Okay, I know you're annoyed with me but this is an important matter. I really, really know Jeon Jungkook. Not just as a footballer but also as a friend. I came here because I need to check on him. He hasn't answered my calls for four days straight. And as a friend and also...as a cop, I'm here to find out why.", Seokjin says as he shows his badge to Jinyoung.

The man in the guardhouse widened his eyes for a second. He is about to take the badge but Seokjin catches his hand instead.

"You don't trust me, huh? Call the police station and ask about Kim Seokjin. They'll tell you I'm an Inspector there.", he tells Jinyoung who slowly nods while searching for something in the computer.

"He called food delivery for three days straight. That's quite unusual.", Jinyoung says as he checks about Jungkook in the system.

Seokjin taps his hand on the table and says, "Unusual, right? Now, tell me how I can get to his place. I really am worried about him now."

Jinyoung nods before he tells Seokjin the way to Jungkook's penthouse.

🌻🌻🌻

With the blanket enveloping his whole body, Jungkook walks to the front door to check on who is disturbing him at the moment. When he looks at the CCTV, he blinks a few times not believing what he sees. It takes a while for him to get to his senses and opens the door for the visitor that keeps on ringing the bell out there.

"Hey, there..", his voice cracks a bit as he looks up to the two worried faces out there.

"Hey, Jungkook.", Seokjin says.

"Jungkook...", Chaeyoung has a pity look on her face seeing Jungkook being covered in a thick black blanket.

Both of them touch his forehead with the back of their hands. Seokjin is the first one to hiss at the hot temperature he felt on Jungkook's skin. Chaeyoung, on the other hand, widened her eyes not believing how hot his body temperature is.

"Did you call a doctor to check on you?", Seokjin asks as he looks around the big living room without asking Jungkook's permission.
