Chapter 6: Listen

Now you had understood why Jimin had chosen France out of all the places. It had different vibes from what had Bali and Korea back then. Sure, both sites were beautiful, and of course, it holds some memories towards you, but France had that sense of security.

Was it because it was somehow further away from the root of the problem you are dealing with?

"Go sit there for a moment. It feels like you're going to pass out," Taehyung had ushered you to sit in one of the cafés there. The streets of Paris were beautiful, and many people were walking down the main roads. Cafés were opened, and a lot of people were. The whole place is gorgeous, and even you wouldn't mind living here.

Currently, Taehyung was trying to sober you over your jetlag. The time was 180 degrees different from Bali and Korea, so you weren't too familiar with the time. But it seems like Taehyung was alright. The whole flight was him sleeping in. It was like he knew we would land in the morning while you were supposed to sleep.

"Anne, go sit down. I'm not joking," Taehyung calls your name, and you nod down. He sat you down before he sat down. The waiter then asked what we wanted, and Taehyung answered fluently in France.

"I didn't know you speak French," you asked him, and he nodded, "I had picked up a few skills here and there. I guess speaking French is one of them."

You nod your head as you keep silent. Staring at the whole street, you kept quiet because you were tired. You put your head on the table, and Taehyung couldn't help to chuckle.

"You're regretting yet again, aren't you?" Taehyung slowly brush your hair that was getting in your face, "you still talk with your action. Maybe this is why Jungkook is interested in you, even Seokjin, and maybe I'm one of them."

You look up to see Taehyung staring at you, "Stop joking around, Tae. I might throw my shoes at you."

He laughs, "and still full of threats and no action, you're making me feel things, gosh I miss you."

"Shut it... Now, what is your plan? Why are you sitting here," you asked Taehyung, "Don't make me regret things here, I'm in a city without Hoseok, and I can't see clearly."

"Again... I told you about Hoseok. Why are you still doubting over me?" He sighs, "Right after lunch, we'll drive around first. You'll never know who could be following you, and besides, you need to look at least decent, or Jimin might pass out looking at you."

"What's wrong with how I look?"

"You? Of course, beautiful in any way, but right now? Like I see myself ten years ago." Taehyung said.

The food came in, and you looked at the blurry food in front of you, and you looked up at Taehyung, and he sighed.

"It's French toast because I knew you'd be sick eating a heavy meal," Taehyung then grabbed the toast handing them to you. He took your hands gently as you felt the texture of the toast, and you sighed in relief.

You begin eating in silence.

"Do you think there's a possible reason why Jungkook is doing this?" you asked Taehyung, and he looked up at you.

"I didn't know someone could be that sinister. He looks like a nice guy, he is always curious, and his eyes always light up when Namjoon speaks. He was always suspicious in his way, but I never thought he was the kind of guy who could go on a rampant kill."

"I guess it made you curious, didn't it? What had happened to him and all?' Taehyung started, "I guess you're not the only one. I always thought Jungkook was peculiar since the first time I met him, nothing clicked, but we had never clashed. It was as if he was cautious over something."

"All I knew was he was an orphan too, like me, he used to tell me how he views the world differently, and people don't seem to understand him, well, all except Namjoon," Taehyung started, "Where everyone had seen him as a monster, Namjoon saw him as a light."

"Namjoon, what the hell is his problem anyway," you grumble, finishing your last bite.

"I don't care about Namjoon. Just stay away from him if he is still alive."

-

Arriving after a long walk, you were gently pushed into a large door.

"Stay still, alright? Jimin might close the door on me again like last time." He gently held you beside him, and he knocked on the door.

A faint 'come in' could be heard, and Jimin opens up the door before he could scream bloody murder. He looks at you.

"Anne?" Jimin looks at you bewildered.

"Great, was I the only one who didn't know my name?" Jimin eyes widen as he slaps his mouth. Damn it, how could he slip, he thought.

"Let us in. Use your brain of yours to fix what you created, "Taehyung tries to push into the place as he searches in his pocket for a picture he had brought.

Jimin looks at the picture before he looks at it. Jimin couldn't help to gasp. It was pictures of Seokjin being beaten up. Bruises and cuts were visible. But that firing eyes were still blazing, then Jimin knew what was happening.

"He's alive. Why are you here?" Jimin asked. He lets the two of you in. Jimin walks to you, slowly grabbing a coat and placing them over you as he locks the door.

"It's nice seeing you again, min... I hope you are ready for a lot of explaining to do," you said, "How about you start with my name."

"What are you hiding in here, Park Jimin?"

"Anne – I – I told you everything. I have never lied about it, "Jimin reasons, but then Taehyung was doing something before Jimin shouted in panic.

"You're still working on your little Frankenstein project, huh?" Taehyung couldn't help to whistle, "You created something so smart for the wrong people. Are you seriously that mad at them?"

"TAEHYUNG GET THE F-"

"I'll leave you alone if you give her sight back. I know you can do it," Taehyung said.

"I'll let you go, min, but get her treated the least you could do after making that darn poison."

"How did you –"

Taehyung pulls Jimin in, "unless you want Jungkook to finish you. I suggest you begin tinkering."
