19: Second time
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
"This boy." Minho frowned when he saw Taehyung's phone lying on the table. He was done with his lunch and when he got up to return his tray, his gaze fell on the old phone. He decided to return that as it was still lunch break and walked to the elevator to press the button but something was wrong with that and shrugging that he took the stairs.
He was about to reach his new department when Taehyung's phone buzzed and a new message showed over the screen.
"You've 3 hours Mr. Kim and we are waiting-" That's all that showed over the screen, quipping his interest instantly.
"3 hours for what?" He frowned as curiosity was building inside him.
°●°●°●°●°●°●°●°●°
"It's almost 2 hours, Park. Find him and tell him to face me." Jungkook gritted his teeth. The files were piling up and his personal secretary was gone after lashing out at him.
"Sir, it's a lunch break for now," Jimin said lowly, already cautious of his words as he could see the other fuming in anger.
Jungkook cocked his brow at that and slammed his hand over the table.
"I don't know! Find him, call him, or whatever. Tell him to be there within 5 minutes or I'll definitely kick him out of this company!" Jimin nodded his head and quickly stormed out to get the file of Taehyung to have his contact number.
"Oh, Mr. Park?" Someone called him midway.
"Mr. Lee?" Minho nodded his head.
"Actually, Taehyung left his phone on the table. I thought if you could return it to him as I don't feel comfortable going inside there." Minho said, pointing towards Jungkook's office.
Jimin's professional smile faltered on that.
"But he isn't there. I mean, Mr. Kim is not there, not even in the whole department. I was about to contact him as well." The blond said with a concerned tone and that's when Minho's face twisted in sort of shock.
"What? But he left about an hour ago!" Minho exclaimed, he looked very worried for the very first time. Jimin was also getting worried for the boy.
"Do you know any of his other friends in this company?"
"No, Semie is the closest to him but she's on a leave," Minho replied.
"I think we should-"
"Mr. Park! The elevator is stuck I guess. Please inform the service center. We have to take the stairs." One of the employees said while massaging his legs.
Jimin nodded his head as the boy was more important for now. He decided not to tell Jungkook about that for now. What if he actually fire him on the spot for this type of behavior? So, he decided to search for the boy by himself.
"You look in the departments while I take a look at the roof," Jimin suggested to which Minho agreed, and both parted ways. In his way, Jimin did inform the service center as well.
Minho was searching for Taehyung, halted when he heard someone.
"Oh, my God! Did you hear that? Someone is in the elevator for about an hour."
"Really? I hope the person is fine."
"I heard it's a boy."
Minho's eyes widened at that and without any delay, he made a beeline to the service center to see the footage of the elevator. As the staff was working on the problem, the camera was showing the footage of the unconscious brunet lying on the cold metal floor making Minho gasp at the view.
"The elevator will go up to the 6th floor."
"Financial department." Minho ran back to the 6th floor, panting and huffing. Many employees were already gathered there and he had to push back them.
When Jimin was back, he noticed the rush and Minho as well. Jungkook also heard the commotion and came out of his office.
"What happened here?" Jimin frowned when he noticed a shocked and worried face of Minho.
"Taehyung.. he is stuck in here." Jimin's eyes widened at that as well.
"Oh lord! I hope he is fine." He wished for the boy.
After many long minutes, finally, the elevator dinged and the metal door opened, causing all the people to burst into whispers in shock and concern.
Minho was the one to enter the elevator to pick up Taehyung and lead him to the nearest couch.
Taehyung's body was full of sweat and his face flushed red with his body burning at high temperature.
"Water. Bring some water and call an ambulance please." Minho screamed in fear as he started tapping others' cheeks.
"Taehyung? Taehyung?!" But it seems like the other was out cold.
Jimin called the ambulance while another employee brought some water that Minho sprinkled over Taehyung's face, but they got no response.
"Ambulance is coming," Jimin said and crouched down as well to rub Taehyung's hands which were very hot.
"Gosh! He is burning up with the fever." The blond shrieked at the hotness.
Jungkook watched that all from a distance and was beyond shock when he saw the brunet in such a condition who was growling at his face hours ago.
"How come I didn't notice this before," Minho muttered while using his now wet handkerchief to wipe Taehyung's face.
The people were rushing over the place to look at the passed-out brunet which was very much unacceptable.
"Leave the space!" Jungkook ordered and it was followed quickly, leaving only Minho and Jimin with the boy.
They all heard the ambulance's siren and Minho didn't waste a second and picked up Taehyung once again.
"I think you should come as well," Jimin mumbled to Jungkook who silently followed the other two in the elevator.
Taehyung was quickly placed inside the ambulance with the help of the paramedics while Jimin looked around for his car.
"Damn! Why I parked my car in the basement today?!" He hissed in anger and was about to go when Jungkook stopped him.
"Mine is here. Also, someone is needed in the department as well. You stay." With a blank face, Jungkook unlocked his car and gestured to Minho, who entered.
"Wait!" Jimin quickly rummaged through his pocket to grab his card and handed it to Minho.
"Do inform me about his condition please." Minho accepted the card and nodded his head. Jungkook started the engine and soon they were trailing behind the ambulance.
"Poor boy." Jimin sighed, feeling utterly bad for the brunet.
°●°●°●°●°●°●°
"Patient is suffering from malnutrition, severe cold, and too much stress. Also, he looked suffocated, partly due to his cold but I don't know the other reason." Doctor said.
"He was stuck in an elevator for about an hour." Minho butted in with a frown. The other two discoveries made him feel like a fool.
"That's bad. Well, as I said before, his cold is very severe. I don't know how much he was bearing till now but he definitely needs a lot of attention and rest." Minho nodded his head while Jungkook silently sat there.
"Here are some medicines as stress relievers, and make sure he eats healthily. He will be fine soon." She smiled while looking back at the boy on the bed.
"Thank you so much." Minho thanked her as she left the room with a smile. Heaving out a sigh of relief, he turned back to look at Jungkook who was blankly staring at the bed.
"I don't know what happened before, but I'm sure he is literally so depressed about something else as well." Minho started, taking the chair near the bed of the VIP room.
Jungkook didn't respond so Minho continued.
"When I was about to return his phone earlier, this one message popped up and I'm also sure about that as well, it has something to do with his stress." Jungkook sighed and moved his fingers through his hair.
"Why are you telling me all of this, Mr. Lee.?"
"Please, don't fire him even if he did something really unprofessional." Jungkook cocked his brow.
"Please, it's a request."
°●°●°●°●°●°●°●°
Taehyung stirred and groaned when every muscle of his body ached at the movement. He opened his eyes to see the spacious hospital room. One hand was attached to the IV while the other was to a machine. He removed the oxygen mask from his face with a frown and tried to remember the last events.
"Here you are. How are you feeling now handsome?" He heard a female voice and turned his head to see a kind of familiar face.
"You-" His voice croaked badly and that nurse quickly helped him in drinking some water.
"Yes me. I know we kind of had a good talk back then and I wanted to see you again, but not this soon and in this condition." She flailed her hands here and there while talking. But when she nodded sort of confused expressions of the other, she sighed.
"Oh come on. Did you forget me? Last time you came, you were severely malnourished, and this time.. my lord! You have a list. Like, don't you like your handsome face?" She pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.
Taehyung was still confused but he could feel his body exasperated. He did remember falling in the elevator, and that's all.
"Who brought me here this time?" He asked to which the nurse gasped in disbelief that her whole speech was ignored.
"Well, as it's your second time. 2 handsome men brought you here this time. But I guess, one left already." She stated with a pout and in the next second, Taehyung was getting out of bed after removing the tubes and mask completely and wearing his shoes.
Why? Because his gaze fell on the wristwatch of the kind nurse that struck 9 PM, which means past his deadline.
"What! Hey? Where are you going?" She shrieked.
"I- I need to go. I've urgent work to do." Taehyung didn't hear her words and just stormed out of the room. To his luck, no one was there to stop him at the moment as he left the hospital in a hurry, the poor nurse still calling for him.
"What if they already filed the case against me?" He mumbled while speed walking towards the bus station while ignoring all of his pains.
He took the first bus that arrived within minutes and went to the brand shop.
"I- I'm sorry-"
"Oh, Mr. Kim. You shouldn't have come here in this condition." The lady said to him with a frown.
"I- I'm sorry that I couldn't arrange the money. But please, don't file the report... I'll pay you soon." Taehyung croaked out, coughing a bit after that.
The lady frowned in confusion but then she chuckled.
"Don't worry about that. Someone paid for it already. Well, as you're here, then take your suit." She handed him the bag.
"What? But- but who paid?" Taehyung asked in utter confusion now. He didn't ask for help from anyone then how?
"He didn't tell me his name. But he paid for it and also for this little gift inside the bag." Taehyung peeked inside the shopping bag to see a packed little box.
"We are sorry for our behavior earlier Mr. Kim. We have to be strict for our job." She bowed with an apologetic look but Taehyung was too much shocked to even notice that. He nodded his head absent-minded.
"Please visit again and take care, sir." Taehyung left the shop with weak steps, fingers curled around the straps of the bag while face contorted in utter confusion.
"Who paid???"
