Who was that person?

A few days later,

I woke up from a nightmare drenched in sweat witnessing my killer, again. He looked at me with an evil smirk painted on his face, his finger pointing towards me.

"I am someone who's hidden in your past!" these words fell out of his mouth confusing me.

"Who are you?" I mumbled, but before I could get any answer I woke up!

I shifted with a groan as my body ached all over. I got up with a sigh, I scanned the place finding myself on my bed inside my room. A tube was inserted to my veins securely with tapes which was further connected to a bottle hung above, filled with a slightly transparent liquid, maybe saline? Wasn't I in the forest a while back? A memory flashed by my mind, I removed the tape along with the tubes and ran outside towards Yoongi hyung's room across mine. I felt a bit dizzy, but I gathered all my strength going ahead.

"Hyung" I screamed holding the door open. He laid there peacefully with his arm neatly wrapped in bandages. I saw Taemin hyung sitting on a chair besides gesturing me to keep my voice low and not to wake up the person resting.

"Is he fine?" I sniffed as fresh tears formed, blurring my vision. I wiped them taking a seat besides hyung on the bed, caressing his wounded arm.

"He's okay as of now. We were worried for you, it's been three days since you passed out in that forest" Taemin hyung worriedly glanced at me.

His eyes wandered over my arm which bled a little when I pulled away that tube inserted to my veins. He got up pulling me towards him and making me sit across him as he tended to my bleeding arm.

"What happened? I was asleep for that long?" I turned around facing him with confusion, he pulled me into his embrace.

"You shouldn't have pulled it out so roughly Jimin. After passing out you wouldn't wake up no matter how much we tried. The doctors at the hospital later told us it was due to extreme exhaustion and stress and adviced us to take you home yesterday, ensuring us that you would wake up soon. But we arranged a personal nurse to tend you whole day just to be safe. I'm so relieved to see you standing in front of me and chatting like nothing happened" he smiled, his eyes turned glossy as he scanned my face to be assured I was awake.

He held me in his embrace again, this time for a while as he slowly caressed my back.

"But I didn't see any nurse in my room hyung" I told him a bit taken aback.

"I think he went out to buy some painkillers for Mr. Min. He'll be back in a while, anyways I was on my way to your room when you came here" he smiled pulling back and holding my shoulders.

"Are you feeling dizzy? Do you feel pain anywhere?" he asked questions like the doctor he was, checking my pulse which was normal now.

"I felt a bit dizzy when I woke up and came here, but I'm good right now. And I don't feel pain anywhere" I answered truthfully as he kept noting everything.

"Hyung you didn't answer my question! What happened after I passed out there? Where is my kidnapper?" I queried with my patience giving up.

"Wait a minute, settle down first! So after Mr. Min got hurt by the bullet fired by your kidnapper who also attempted to kill you, I tried my best to stop the blood gushing out of his wound. When I heard another bang, I prayed closing my eyes for your safety, hoping no more bullets would be fired. When I opened my eyes you laid there unconscious with the kidnapper lying besides you, motionless. At that time the police arrived there with medics. Later, they informed us that you hit that guy with your bat before he could fire another bullet.

Actually we had called the police after you went missing from our picnic spot for over two hours, but they took a while to arrive. We feared something bad might have happened with you so we prepared our own search party to get to you. I asked Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon to stay back in case you went back to our picnic spot. But it took hours for us to locate you, and that pendant of yours helped which Mr. Kim had bugged.

The rest happened in front of your eyes. I was relieved to know not many got hurt, even Mr. Min wasn't badly hurt as the bullet just brushed past his shoulder. The police may soon drop by to question you" Taemin hyung sighed.

"What did the police say later? Any news of that killer?" I asked curiously.

"They took them to a nearby hospital, and the last time I checked he was unconscious. They told us he was some mad man who escaped a mental asylum few days back, which was nearby the forest. We were lucky to escape unscathed, I heard that before he was held captive, he killed around 20 people" Taemin hyung shuddered as he spoke.

"Hyung what about Taehyung and Jungkook? Where are they?" I queried not finding them around.

"Mr. Kim sat besides you, day and night waiting for you to open your eyes. A few moments back he got a call for which he had to leave urgently.

Mr. Jeon went to the mobile shop as the shop owner told him that some of his data could be retrieved. Also he thought of buying another phone, getting a lot of calls from his ex-wife and her mother. He too awaited for you to open your eyes but the phone calls wouldn't stop so he left with James an hour ago" Taemin hyung mumbled in one breathe.

"I think you should lie down for a bit hyung, you look tired" I advised spotting dark circles formed beneath his eyes.

"What about Mr. Min?" he glanced at me with droopy eyes.

"I'll take care of him, you go and rest" I patted his shoulders. He nodded going outside the room.

"I'll inform Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon that you are fine" he smiled closing the door, going downstairs.

"Hyung please get well soon, I can't watch you like this. You are my pillar of strength!" I mumbled holding his free hand, intertwining it with mine.

Why couldn't I save him from getting hurt! He's someone dear to me, and the only person whom I can trust fully. Please let him live, I'll gladly sacrifice myself for him.

"I am someone who's hidden in your past!" these words still lingered in my mind.

Past? Who could that be?

I don't have much time to waste on my past, so many questions are piled up!

Taehyung bugged my necklace which he gifted me on our one year anniversary! Why would he do that? And why did he keep it a secret from me?

Jungkook's phone is being restored, ugh! I remember destroying it! What does Taemin hyung mean by Kook's ex-wife? When did he get divorced? And why am I not aware of this! What about their child?

Who's that damn killer from my past! I don't recollect any memories of this person except him being a threat for me!

Knock knock

"Come in" I called out, James entered with a panicked face.

"Sir, Jungkook Sir's phone has been restored," he mumbled coming inside.

"Can't you get rid of it somehow?" I asked irritated from the events taking place around me.

"I can ask that shopkeeper to destroy it Sir, I'll take care of the rest. But..." he paused looking down.

"But?" I frowned.

"Sir this would require some cash," he hesitated looking up.

"How much?" I asked eager to get rid of that cursed phone.

"Around 25k" he replied in a monotone.

"This much!" my eyes widened in surprise.

"Such work requires some kind of bait to lure" he said unbothered.

"Okay, but I don't have so much cash right now" I mumbled.

"Sir please transfer it to my account directly. I'll take care of everything" he assured.

"I'll do it, just make sure the phone is destroyed" I warned, he nodded.

Taking out my phone kept in my pocket I quickly transferred the required amount to his account where I credited his monthly salary. He took his leave thereafter.

Why is nothing going my way?

The grip on my hands tightened, I glanced up to see hyung trying to open his eyes.

"Hyung!" I cried as he woke up.

"Jimin_ah" he groaned in a hoarse voice.

"How are you feeling?" I asked getting up to bring him a glass of water.

"I feel a slight pain in my right shoulder, otherwise I'm good. How are you? When did you wake up? You got us so worried Minnie" he sighed taking a sip from the glass of water I offered and keeping it besides.

"I'm better now. Sorry hyung, it's all because of me" I sobbed taking a seat besides him, keeping my hand over his knee.

"Jimin how many times would you apologize, it wasn't your fault. That mad killer on loose did this to me do you understand!" he groaned caressing my hand. The silence wasn't helping much as we kept staring at each other.

"You should rest I'll take my leave" I sighed turning my eyes away, getting up. I felt a pull on my wrist, as I fell back the bed.

"Don't leave the patient all alone, I need you Jimin_ah" he requested caressing my head which rested on his chest. I could hear his heartbeats loud enough, we both needed each other.

"Hyung I wanted to say something, but I thought I'll talk after you recover" I spoke leaning away from his chest.

"What? About that kidnapper? Tell me everything Jimin_ah. I have a hunch someone hired him" he mumbled confusing me.

"It's about him, he told me  that he was somehow connected to my past which I don't remember. But how come you thought he was hired?" I asked.

"Your past! Now I'm sure someone close to you is involved with that mad man! But who?" he wondered.

"Hyung I can't understand a thing! Could you please explain what is going on in your mind?" I pleaded, shifting a bit to sit face to face with him.

"How did he even find you? You weren't even that deep in the woods. We found your bag thrown at a point when we began searching for you, it was a few miles away from our picnic spot. I think someone told him to be there at the right moment. And I also noticed that he was there just to threaten you and not to kill you or anyone of us! The bullet he fired at me just brushed past my shoulder, whereas his aim is not that bad" he explained.

"How come you know about his shooting skills?" I asked with curiosity.

"Dr. Lee told me that before he was captured he killed about 20 people, and do you know where he aimed at?" he asked cocking an eyebrow, I shook my head being unaware.

"He aimed right in between their eyebrows. Each and every victim had a hole in their head, right in between their brows. Some shots were point-blank but others taken from feets apart!" he sighed making me gasp from the killer's cruelty.

"Is he even human?" I shuddered listening to his backstory.

"He had some issues with those people, well that's another story to tell you some other day. And I also heard that someone helped him to escape from that mental hospital! I asked Dr. Lee and Jin too find more about that helper, I'm sure that same person is involved in this kidnapping" he guessed caressing his stubble which grew in the past few days.

"You need to shave hyung" I chuckled caressing his cheeks, watching his astonished face.

"What about you?" he argued.

"Maybe I too have to" I sighed feeling stubble growing around my jaws and chin.

"You have to help me, I'm injured" he whined raising his injured shoulder.

"Of course! Anything for my savior" I smiled as he grabbed my waist pulling me closer.

"I missed you so much" he sighed near my chest, I shuffled his soft hairs which turned black from the root, leaving the tips blonde.

"Me too hyung" I smiled kissing the crown of his head.

"Kiss here it's paining" he groaned raising his wounded arm, I kissed it chuckling at his childish behavior.

"Here all good" I patted his head, he pointed at his cheek now.

"I want a kiss here too" he smiled innocently. I gave up leaning in when he turned around in a swift motion as my lips landed on his.

"Its not fair" I whined pulling back.

"Everything is fair in love and war" he smirked with a wink.

"Now you take rest, I'll go bring something for you to eat" I said leaving his grasp.

"Don't be too long, I'm waiting. Bring something for you too, let's eat together" he waved as I went down stairs towards the kitchen.

"Jiminie" I heard a familiar squeal and loud footsteps approaching me, pulling me to a bone crushing hug.

"Hobi hyung?" I smiled in his embrace.
