Chapter 31
Namjoon took a closer step to Yumei's bed. He didn't know what will happen, but he noticed he wasn't angry about it, he asked him that playfully. "I didn't know that I needed permission."
Jimin chuckled, he liked this Kim Namjoon already. He walked towards Namjoon, "You could have left a message. I was frantically searching for Yuki when I found she was not here."
Namjoon looked him in the eye, was he going to end up in a ditch somewhere? "I- I."
Jimin chuckled, "I am only joking with you," His face turned serious, "Who are you?"
Namjoon's hand began trembling, he looked friendly but there was this feeling that he was not to be trifled with. "I am Kim Namjoon."
Jimin placed his fingers on his chin and glared at Namjoon. "Kim Namjoon? So tell me, how do you know Yuki?"
Namjoon had no way to escape, Jimin was standing between him and the door, he guessed he will play his q and a. "I met Yuki, yesterday at the university."
Jimin nodded slightly, "And does that give you the right to kidnap her for the evening?"
Namjoon's eyes widened, "I didn't kidna-"
Jimin interrupted, "You know here for two whole days and you just what? Swept her off her feet?"
What was with this strange questions? "I wanted to make sure she was alright after her accident!"
Jimin's glare didn't lift. "How do you know about her accident?"
Namjoon took a glimpse at Yumei, she wasn't stirring, she rolled on her left side and his jacket slipped off revealing the purple unicorn which she was still clutching tightly to her chest. "I was there when it happened."
Jimin stiffened, Yoongi never told him who brought Yumei to the hospital, "What happened?"
Namjoon turned his gaze back to Jimin, "A girl she ran against for her initiation broke her right leg."
So he was right, Yumei was lying about what happened to share Yoongi for not being there to help, "A girl broke her leg?"
Namjoon nodded, "Yes. I ran to her aid and made sure she got to the infirmary and then we came here. They didn't want me to see her so-"
He went through the trouble to come back and sneak in, to see if she was okay? "So you thought it was best to sneak in here and what?"
"She mentioned that she was afraid of hospitals and I-," Namjoon's thoughts were all over the place, he should have known what was going on before asking him these questions. Did Yumei not tell him what happened at all? "I wanted to ease her fear."
Jimin tilted his head, this Kim Namjoon was thoughtful enough he even bought her a stuffed animal just because she told him her fears.
He was definitely her way out of this life. Jimin's mind eased at this, the only question was, what was his connection to the Kim family. "That is awfully nice of you Mr Kim. I think you should leave."
Namjoom didn't move, "I have given you my name so out of courtesy, who are you?"
Jimin smirked, "I am Sora." It was one of Yumei's favourite characters in some Disney game called Kingdom Hearts.
Namjoon stiffly nodded at him, 'More secrets but how did he know that she would introduce him with that name?' He took one last glimpse at Yumei, 'I'll try and visit you again.'
Jimin moved to the side to let Namjoon past him, "Have yourself a good evening Mr Kim."
Namjoon gave him a curd nod and left Yumei's hospital room. This was all just strange to him but he was happy that Yumei was okay.
He walked to the reception, Tae was still talking to the receptionist who was nodding her head at him. Namjoon caught Tae's eye and gave him a nod.
"Thank you for listening to me, Miss. I have to go now."
The receptionist was smiling at him, "No, thank you for the interesting conversation."
Tae met Namjoon at the entrance, "You ready to leave?"
Namjoon pushed the door open, "Yeah. It was a wonderful evening and then it got strange."
Tae closed the door behind them, "Strange how?"
Namjoon didn't stop walking towards the car, he wanted Yumei to confess from her own lips on what happened and tell him who she was.
But it would not be easy for her, she was brought up in this life of secrecy and she didn't trust him yet. Then why did it feel like she was dropping small hints towards him?
Did she not realise that he was the boy that she had met him seven years ago? It wasn't like that there were many Kim Namjoons out there? So what was holding her back?
Her family? Was there some other secret that she didn't know about? He felt a headache coming, he looked up to the sky which was still clear and the wind was still howling; he shivered.
"Joonie?"
How was he going to explain to his parents that he wasn't going to give up on this? Even if it will cost him his life?
"Joonie!"
His heart was telling him not to give up on this, no not the situation around Yumei but Yumei herself. She was special and for the first time, a girl gave him butterflies.
"Joonie!"
Namjoom paused and turned his head towards Tae. "What?"
Tae huffed, "Haven't you heard me screaming your name?"
Namjoom shook his head, "Sorry, I was lost in thought."
Tae dolled his eyes, "So I have noticed. You haven't answered my question but another thing, where is your jacket?"
Namjoon blushed and averted his gaze, "My jacket kinda stayed behind. And what was your question?"
Tae unlocked the car, "What do you mean it stayed behind? And what changed the evening from nice to strange?"
They both got into the car, "A certain girl fell asleep and clutched my jacket tightly, so I didn't want to disturb her and as for your other question. Her other bloodhound was there."
Interesting, so they have upped her security? "Who is it?" Tae started the car and Namjoon looked up at the hospital to the window that was her room. "His name is Jimin but they called him Sora."
Yoongi stepped out behind the door. Yumei spoke the truth? Unmei broke her leg on purpose? No, he will not believe it. He can't believe it, "So what are your thoughts?"
Jimin took the bed covers and pulled them over Yumei, no matter what he did she wouldn't let go of the jacket or the unicorn. "My thoughts on what exactly, Yoongi?"
Yoongi stiffened, that tone was Jimin's scary voice. Yoongi bit his lip, he still owed Jimin an explanation, no, the truth about what happened. "On Kim Namjoon."
Jimin leaned closer to Yumei and kissed her temple, he drew back and glared at Yoongi. "Why don't we talk about what happened first and then on my thoughts about Kim Namjoon."
Jimin gestured to the chair in the corner, "Sit and then tell me everything."
Yoongi knew he wouldn't be able to argue with Jimin, he was in full business mode and he did what was asked and went to sit in the chair. "Where do you want me to begin?"
Jimin folded his arms, "From the beginning."
Yoongi took a deep breath in, he should skip the part of Unmei or at least not call her by name or give away that he knew her.
He still had to find out for himself why she did or didn't do. "When we got to the university we were called and told that we would be divided into two different groups."
Jimin folded his arms.
"Jin took the one group and Hoseok the other, I was in the group of Hoseok and Yumei in Jin's group."
Jimin stiffened, she was with Kim Jin? Yoongi continued, "I walked to Hoseok and asked him if I could switch groups because my friend had a weak immune system and he refused."
Yoongi put his elbows on his knees and folded his hands to rest his head on it. "He said they wouldn't be able to do that, so I asked him to give the bag to Yumei which he did. When we took a break Yumei fainted."
"She what?" Jimin's voice was almost an angry scream, Yumei stirred in her sleep so Jimin lowered his voice, "She what?"
Yoongi didn't flinch, "I went over to find Jin and this Kim Namjoon at her side. I have asked him to not let her run anymore due to her immune system. He said that he would and when it came to the event of the two teams, Yumei said she wanted to."
Jimin bit his lip, yes, she was stubborn as a mule. "And you let her run?"
Yoongi nodded, 'Yes, against my judgement I let her do it. If I could have-' Yoongi closed his eyes, "I wasn't there when it happened, Jin and I were at the further end waiting to be tagged and the girl who ran against Yumei came running to tell us she tripped and broke her leg."
Jimin took a step forward, "You just believed her?"
Yoongi opened his eyes, "You know how clumsy she is. But when I got there she was no longer there. She was already on her way to the infirmary."
Jimin knew the rest, Yoongi called him to tell him what had happened and he had to inform Mr Kazuma. That wasn't pretty, he broke a few glasses in the house and then Majima had readied the car for them. "Do you know the girl?"
Yoongi shook his head, "I do not but I do intend to find out."
Jimin nodded, "Good. Thank you for telling me the truth, Yoongi. " He turned his gaze to Yumei, "So why did she tell me that she tripped?"
Yoongi bit his lip, "I do not know."
Jimin turned his gaze back at Yoongi, "She protected you. She knew that if she told the truth Mr Kazuma would fire you. So tell me another thing, what were you to fighting about when we got here?"
Yoongi didn't want to go back to that moment when Yumei was angry at him that she even threw a glass at him. He will tell Jimin a fib because this was between him and Yumei. She protected him and now he will do the same. "She was in pain and I didn't want to give her medication to help her with it."
Yoongi hoped that Jimin would fall for it, he was too quick-witted and could smell a lie coming from a mile.
Jimin hardened his glare and Yoongi didn't waver. "Understandable, she can't take pain medication. That was good of you."
Yoongi let out a breath of relief, he had believed him. 'I have to talk to Yumei but tonight is out of the question. So I will be back tomorrow before Mr Kazuma picked her up.'
Jimin unfolded his arms, "Go home and get some sleep. You are going to have one long day ahead of you."
Yoongi stood up from the chair, "That is true." He walked do Yumei's bed, she was fast asleep and he thought about Kim Namjoon. 'It is thanks to you that she would be able to have a peaceful night.'
