Chapter 9 - Wide eyed and weak
Tuesday 3rd September - 10 days till doomsday
When they finally let Yoongi out of the hotel bathroom, they were surprised. Apart from the odd grumble at them to bring the noise down because he had a headache, the boy barely showed any signs that he had been drinking.
When they went down for breakfast, Yoongi sat opposite Jimin, and Hoseok sat opposite Jungkook. They all ordered toast.
"Since when was your hair blonde? Are you trying to copy your Hyung?" Yoongi asked Jimin, who blushed profusely.
"N...no! I just wanted to disguise myself a little... You said it would be safer." The younger stuttered.
"Suits you." Yoongi smirked, making the boy blush an even deeper shade of crimson. "Why did you follow me anyway?" He asked, biting into his buttery slice of toast. The butter was slightly melted, and slid over his tongue, making his mouth water as he ate.
"Because I didn't want you to leave us, Hyung..." Jimin whispered, blushing. He didn't touch his toast at all. "And Hobi Hyung wanted his phone back."
"Oh yeah..." Yoongi remembered, taking it out of his pocket.
3546 missed calls from Kim TaeTae
109273 texts from Kim TaeTae
234 missed facetime calls with Kim TaeTae
Yoongi rolled his eyes and put it back in his pocket.
"Remind me - I will give it to him later."
He noticed that Jimin wasn't eating. It also occurred to him that he hadn't seen the boy eat in the 3 long days he had known him.
He picked up one of the slices of toast and made aeroplane noises.
"Open up Jiminie!" He teased, pressing the crust of the toast up against the younger boy's sealed lips.
Jimin shook his head, even though his heart was flipping out of his chest.
"Why are you dieting? We die in 10 days. Just enjoy it while you can." He smiled, making more aeroplane noises and putting the toast near Jimin's mouth.
The younger shook his head again, blushing.
"Hyung... people are looking."
"Let them look. I dont care. We die in 10 days. I never care." Yoongi shrugged, taking a bite of Jimin's toast, then putting it back to Jimin's lips.
"Say aaaaah!"
Jimin tentatively opened his lips a crack and mumbled the quietest "Ah" You will ever hear before taking a small bite.
"Good boy." Yoongi smiled, patting him on the head.
Yoongi didn't stop until Jimin had eaten all the toast and drunk a small glass of orange juice. Jimin had to admit, he did feel much better now, but maybe it wasn't the food that made him feel that way.
After breakfast, Hoseok announced that he had enough money to buy four train tickets to Busan, so that was the transport they decided to take (but not before a tsunami of "train to Busan" jokes flooded out of all their mouths!)
They took a taxi to the station, and Jungkook was forced to sit next to Yoongi, which he was unhappy about due to the vomiting accident last night.
"Hey, can I borrow your phone Jungkookie? This one isn't picking up signal right now..." Yoongi said quietly, waving Hoseok's phone around.
Jimin glanced over and frowned, taking Hoseok's phone as Jungkook handed his to the older boy. He clearly saw 3 bars of signal. What was Yoongi up to?"
"It is passcode protected -" Jungkook began, but watched in awe as Yoongi guessed the password instantly and opened the internet.
It was then than Yoongi slyly opened the Younger's inbox, and as he had expected, there was a number for a police officer.
He clicked on it and scanned through the texts, making sure Jungkook was busy looking out the window so he didn't see. He knew Jungkook was "off" from the moment they met.
Smiling, he handed the phone back. That was all he needed to know for now...
When they arrived at the station, they managed to navigate their way the correct platform. It wasn't busy because of the time of day, and there was maybe 4-5 other people on the same one.
Yoongi and Jimin sat on the bench, and Hoseok began to tease them about being a couple. Jungkook was so lost in his thoughts he was barely listening to them. He paced in circles, waiting for the right train to arrive.
Just then, two children ran past him. They can't have been older than 10 or 11. However, the light contact that happened between the boy's arm and Jungkook's leg was enough to nudge him off balance, and the 16 year old cried out before stumbling and falling down onto the tracks. He burnt his leg severely on the burning rails and cried out again, crumpling into a heap.
A faint rattle could be heard shaking the metal tracks
The few people on the platform gasped and ran to see if he was ok; Hoseok and Jimin stood up in shock, but their reaction times were not as good as Min Yoongi's.
The blonde boy leapt up, ignoring the faint rattle of the train nearing the station. He pushed through the people and jumped in between the two rails, landing wrong on his ankle and twisting it round.
He was in agony, but he needed to focus...
He lifted Jungkook up by the arms, so desperate to get him out that he burnt his hand on the rails at the same time. Even though he flinched, he knew that if he let his body take over his mind now, they would never get out of this alive.
Jimin was now at the edge of the platform, reaching out his hand as far as it would go.
Yoongi pushed Jungkook up so Jimin could grab the younger boy's hand and pull him out of the dip. Hoseok immediately ran to Jungkook's side, but although he was safe, Yoongi was still down there, and had no one to give him a boost.
The railings were too hot to use as steps up and out, and Yoongi could now see the lights of the train shining up against the walls, casting shadows and making them dance in the dim light.
Jimin was crying in panic now, tears streaming down his face.
"YOU HAVE TO GRAB ON!" He begged, reaching out.
Yoongi was just millimetres away from his fingertips. He was going to have to do it.
Taking a deep breath, he jumped, briefly placing his shoe on the railings to boost himself up, and grabbing Jimin's hand.
The younger pulled him up moments before the train screeched past.
Yoongi collapsed on the platform next to Jungkook his face shiny with sweat from both the heat radiating off the rails, and the terror in his heart at that moment.
He was hyperventilating, laying back on the cold, dirty tiles with his eyes shut.
He and Jungkook were badly burned in some places, but otherwise alright.
"Are you ok?" Jimin sobbed, still terrified. "Did you get badly hurt?"
Yoongi couldn't answer. His body was shaking and his words failed him. Jungkook sat up slowly, flinching as the burnt skin on his leg rubbed against his now burnt skinny jeans.
"Y..You didn't have to do that..." He whispered. "You... could have... died..."
Yoongi opened his eyes slowly and looked at him.
"Would it matter if I did? Only 10 days kid." He choked. "But you have so much longer..."
Jungkook was frozen. Did Yoongi know? How did he find out? Who was he?
"Medical!" Someone shouted, and a two men in green Hi-Viz coats ran over holding bags.
Jungkook's treatment was fairly simple - a few plasters, burn cream on his leg, new jeans.
Yoongi however had managed to tear soft muscle tissue in his foot, and had to get a bandage from the medical room and temporarily use crutches so he didn't make it worse. His burns were treated with cream and they were both checked over.
Apart from the obvious injuries, there was nothing else, and they were given permission to board the next train.
Yoongi's hands were shaking so much he could barely grip the crutches. Jimin put his hand over his to stop the shaking and hold it onto the rubber grip, but quickly removed his hand, blushing deeply.
"Please do it..." Yoongi begged. "I am too shaky. I might fall..."
Jungkook pushed Jimin towards Hoseok and helped Yoongi hold the crutches, keeping his had firmly over the other's so he could grip it tight.
Finally, they got on the train. Jimin was going to sit with Yoongi, but Jungkook got there first so he and Hobi took the seats behind.
As the train whistled loudly and pulled away, Jungkook turned to the older boy.
"W...what exactly do you mean when you say I have "so much longer?" He asked quietly, so the others behind wouldn't hear.
The older turned his head towards him, sighing.
"I am talking about your contract with Namjoon." Yoongi growled. "To turn Jiminie in and leave the planet with your tail between your legs."
Jungkook was confused.
"What? How do you know about that? Why did you save me if you knew I was planning to go against you?" He asked, not even bothering to deny it.
"If I keep your secret, I expect you to keep mine:" Yoongi said quietly to Jungkook. The younger nodded. "You see, I am a hacker. This morning I "borrowed" your phone and had a quick browse. In fact, Jungkook, I am the man behind half police cases in the past seven years. I am the man you are looking for - not Jiminie - so when you turn us in, make sure to say my name instead because if Park Jimin is so much as scratched, I will kill you with my bare hands. If you think I am joking, just try me."
Jungkook was taken aback... Yoongi was confessing?
"But why did you save me?" he asked. "I don't get it."
"Because... you intrigue me."
"What is that supposed to mean?" Jungkook asked.
"It means," Yoongi continued, "That you intrigue me - that is why I saved you. Now many people make me curious, but your ability is worth at least a good 10 minutes of my time. Anything that keeps the boredom away. I want to know who you are."
Jungkook looked shocked.
"So... you released all those files? Under a fake name?"
"Yes. Keep your voice down for all things holy!" Yoongi scolded.
Jungkook was lost for words and simply laid back in his chair.
"A...anyway... thanks for saving me..."
The awkward silence between them seemed to last an eternity. The only thing they heard was the loud clacking of the train's wheels on the shiny rails, and the soft chatter of other people in the train carriage.
Yoongi peered through the seats back at Jimin and Hoseok. The blonde had his head rested on the older man's shoulder - fast asleep.
A small smile played on his lips as he turned back round and sighed. His foot hurt, but he had experienced far worse pain in his life, so, despite the pain, he managed to fall asleep too.
They arrived in Busan at 1pm, and Jungkook gently shook Yoongi's shoulder to wake him. The truth was, Yoongi did wake, but he felt like he wanted to be annoying at that particular moment.
He pretended to still be asleep.
"Yoongi? Yah- Wake up you blob!" Jungkook said, his voice showing a mild hint of panic. "Are you dead?"
Yoongi kept his eyes shut and his expression blank.
Jungkook violently shook his shoulders and Yoongi kept his body limp.
"J...Jimin! Yoongi has malfunctioned!" The younger boy said quickly. "I think... he died... he is so cold!"
Jimin walked over as other people got off the train and frowned, leaning over and closing the distance between his and Yoongi's faces.
"WAKE UP YOONGS!" He shouted.
Yoongi had to admit, it made him jump, but his façade stayed in place.
Jimin sighed. He knew Yoongi was faking... but how to get him to stop...?
He smirked and held out his hand, unable to stop his evil chuckle before tickling the other boy.
Yoongi's prank failed and he burst out laughing, writhing in his seat.
"S-Stop! J...J...Jiminie STOP PLEASE!"
He was laughing cutely now, unable to stop.
Jimin showed mercy and let him recover before practically dragging him and his crutches off the train.
"Don't play dead! Or we will just leave you on the train and you can keep going to Seoul." Hoseok growled playfully.
They all laughed before leaving the station and taking a quick taxi to the hotel Hoseok had booked while on the train. They hated having to hide away in Hotels, but if they wanted to spend their last days as free men, it was a necessary annoyance.
It was 2pm now. Jimin and Hoseok turned on the TV and began to watch a K-drama, when Jungkook took Yoongi to the side.
"Yoongi... we need to talk."
