Finding My Own Place And Keeping A Place for Each Other
Part 11

A detective came to see me a couple of days ago after a witness has stepped forward. He wanted to see my guardian too, but my mom didn't come to see me that day. He told me all he could. It wasn't much...just that the car that hit me was imported and that the driver was a young man in his mid-twenties.

"Do you remember anything?" the detective asked.

"No, unfortunately, nothing," I replied. Of course, I was lying.

"What are you thinking about?" Hoseok asked me, interrupting my thoughts. He was standing next to my bed. "I stopped by on my way to the practice room. How are you keeping up? Are you feeling better?" he looked at me with that worried look he always had around me.

I nodded and said, "They say I can start walking around in crutches tomorrow."

Hoseok's worried frown melted away into a relieved smile at that. He sat down and took a small takeaway box out. "I brought you something. It's a Tyrannosaurus Burger, because you've got strong bones, just like a T-Rex."

After that we chatted a little about my time in the hospital and about life in general.

"You know, Namjoon stops at the library every day before going to his shift at the gas station. I've seen Taehyung around too. He's been busy, but I don't know why..." Hoseok trailed off.

"What about Seokjin?" I asked.

"Seokjin?" Hoseok gave me a sad look. He hadn't changed a bit. He could never hide his feelings.

"Something's going on with Seokjin, right?"

Hoseok flushed and ignored my gaze for a while, looking somewhere else, mumbling, "No, no...there isn't anything wrong..."

And that's when I thought Hoseok must know something about Seokjin that I didn't. Seokjin was somehow involved in that accident I'd been in. I still remember the first time everyone came to see me after the accident. Everyone except Seokjin. And it felt as if they all knew something I didn't.

"Are you hurting?' Hoseok asked me. "Do you want me to get a nurse?"

That's when I realised that while I'd been thinking, I'd been holding my head in my hands. My head hurt.
