(17) Revealed ✳️✳️
(Play the video)
I don't know what happened to him, that he's acting this way. He's killing me moments ago, which is not his character. He never hurts anyone, but he hurts me, well in many ways but today's one is exceptional. He wraps his arms in my abdomen and doesn't leave me until I speak.
" Taehyung?"
" I'm telling the truth, Areum. I really regret leaving you. I need you. Help me!" He says still hugging me..
" Okay but- if you don't leave me right now how'll I heal your wounds?? " I ask.
" Taehyung? " I call him, but he doesn't response
" Taehyung? " I call him again but nothing. I finally hold his head and bend down to my right side to look at him and..
He fells asleep!! Seriously????
I hold him and he releases his arm instantly. Must be so tired I see..
I hold his head with my left hand and try to pull up his legs with the right one. He's heavy but not that much compared to me.
I try my best not to wake him up and succeed in getting him to bed. I take the mop which is wet by the water. I slowly clear the sweats, the dirt, the dried blood from his face. I stand up and take a look at him..
He's sleeping so peacefully.... But I need to know his part of the story. But for now let him have his sleep.
After I leave Taehyung in my room. I go straight to Namjoon Oppa's room. When I enter I see Jungkook is there too.
Good for me...
" Oppa... Taehyung came back..."
I see how Jungkook slightly looks at me and again moves back as if I didn't see that. I'll catch you later...
" Hmm I know. Heejin told me. But why did he come back? You released him right? Wait... What is that mark on your neck? " He says shockingly
" Well umm- I wrapped a scarf on my neck as I was coughing since morning, but the edge of it got stuck with my chair so... when I tried to move, it wrapped on my neck harshly, and.. well yeah this is how I got it." I say nervously.
Obviously I lied. I don't want them to drop me again from this case. Right now Taehyung is not just a patient to me.
He's a mystery to solve and I'll solve it anyhow...
" Areum, you're not a kid okay? Where you kept your sense huh? What if something bad happened to you? " Oppa comes to me and looks at the mark on my neck
" But nothing happened right? And there is another thing I need to discuss with you guys. I'll be okay, don't worry! " I move back from him. If he looks at it for a while, he'll easily get that I'm lying.
I sit beside Jungkook who is basically wishing to disappear. Not today bunny..
" Oh hi Jungkook!! Didn't see you there! " I say, looking at him in surprise. He knows very well that I'm joking. I see him the moment I step into this room.
" Shut up okay? I know you saw me so don't act like an innocent cow!" He says while playing a game on his phone.
" Well guess what this cow owes something from you.. bunny" I say the last word a little loudly.
" You! Aish! I lost my game because of you... You'll pay for it " He grits.
" Well guess what you lost the bet too geezzz kkkkk " I'm laughing like this to irritate him more..
" Just because of you I lost the game. Keep dreaming about your 20 bucks huh.." H's fuming right now!
" Either you'll give me right now or I'll tell everyone about your little secret. What do you say?" I whisper to him
" You bitch! I know you'll use it... Arghhhhh" He says while pretending to hit me.
" Enough of this. Grow your ass up. Areum you're here to discuss something important. Please don't waste my time like this " Namjoon Oppa says
" See bunny? Even Oppa thinks you're a waste of time.... Yes Oppa I'm coming!!" With that I wink at him and get up. His mouth gets wide as he's still processing what I've said right now. He's about to call me but I start to speak so he stays quiet but I can feel he's literally killing me with his glare...
" Oppa I think... He's pretending to be tough, because he's scared we might again put him in that room. To be honest he didn't like to stay in that room. He didn't tell me anything but I can say he's not okay with that type of room..."
" What are you trying to say, Areum? " Oppa asks
" I'm trying to say maybe we need to change his atmosphere. Because his personality changed a lot and let me tell you.."
I clear my throat," I....actually....told someone to spy on him so-"
" You did what?? Why did you do that?? You said to yourself he'll be back and so he did. So why do you spy on him? Is he that important to you? " Oppa asks angrily
" Yes, Oppa. He is. I knew he would come back. But I didn't tell someone just to spy on him as if he's a criminal. I wanted to know what he's going through, what his behavior is. That is an important thing to check Oppa!" I explain
" So what is the result of your research? "
" Well he was literally roaming the whole country at this time. I am confused with so many things. First, how did he get so much money? What he was looking for, he mainly went to a club or some house.
But He was never found drunk or leaving from the same house again. But one thing..
He visited the house a few times from where you've found him. And my spy found him sobbing or screaming every time he left that house.
Oppa... didn't you find anything else from that house or you didn't search it properly?" I ask
" Whatever we found we gave it to you. And yes we didn't search after that. Why? " He asks
" Well they found a broken necklace with his face on the locket..." I show him the picture Y/N sent me
" Something must be happened in that house Oppa, something really big that he's not telling us" I state
" Which is why you're here. Try to find out what it is. And Jungkook, do you know anything about it? " I remembered we're on this case together. Shit...
" NO Hyung. I didn't know any of this. I think people only pretend to me that I'm useful. But in reality they're enough on their own" Jungkook says smiling softly..
" Wow! Now I'm the bad guy here huh? Nice. So Jungkook you keep this idea that I just pretend with you. Good to hear that from you.." I say smiling. I'm actually feeling low for not telling him, but the way he makes me the bad person here.. That is not okay..
" Areum, You were the one who told Hyung to take me with you in that case. And now you're the one who is hiding things from me, where you should've discussed it with me in the 1st place. Of course it'll hurt me learning that I'm not putting that much effort in this because you're not letting me" Jungkook says
" Well I wouldn't hide things from you if you didn't start it at 1st. Just to let you know I know what I'm doing. And telling you about it to Jungkook? Well guess what maybe you're so busy hiding things from me that you didn't even realize I was in my chamber this whole fucking month and nobody think that maybe, just maybe you should come and check on me. You just came to check if I'm still alive or not. " I say and look at Namjoon Oppa. He knows what I'm talking about
" Areum I-"
" Save it Oppa. It's not like I ever expected any explanation from you.. And Jungkook about the case. Yes, I didn't tell you because you also didn't support me when I released him. Now please don't pretend like I didn't include you. I personally gave all of my work to you and you gladly accepted.
When you told me about Taehyung I said I'll work on him once he returns. I didn't lie like you guys okay? I just collected some information which will be helpful, and I will hide it from you because you won't understand that it is important to have an eye on him like you're not understanding right now!!"
" But Areum don't you think you're exaggerating things right now?? Jungkook just said he didn't like that you didn't include him. What's wrong with that?? Besides, he's as educated as you. Just your majors are different.." Oppa says
" I'm exaggerating things right now huh? Well when you guys make it look like a blunder that I let Taehyung go, that was not exaggerating.
When you left me in this fucking hallway while I was bleeding, that was no exaggerating.
When it was clear that you people are hiding something, and still thought it would be better to not tell me, that was not exaggerating right??
Now when I did a thing by myself and didn't inform Jungkook because he had a lot on his head, that is exaggerating! Wow Oppa wow! I'm really amazed by your justice! " I burst out. I'm really having mood swings right now.
I continue," Oh! And one more thing Oppa... You're saying Jungkook is as educated as me right, just our majors are different. Yes Oppa! You're absolutely right. Which means I know what is good for Taehyung, not him. I'm the fucking doctor here who knows each and everything about this fucking subject!!
So I would say you think so low of me when you think I'll not be enough and it'll be better to hide things from me... Whether it is about my patient or about me... Just to let you know I know everything about these cases. Which is why you people trust me with these cases.
So don't you think you guys took me too much for granted when I can easily predict the changes in my patient so when it comes to me I won't realize that?? I'm really ashamed of myself right now that you guys still think I'm not worthy!! " With that I open the door and burst out of the room.
There is nothing to talk about right now. How could they think I won't find out about my changes when I literally studied about these for years..
Jungkook P.O.V
I don't know what I said that triggered Areum like this. She doesn't burst out like this. At least not with her hyung as far I see. Something must have happened to her. And I'm damn sure hyung knows about it.
" Hyung? Is there something I'm missing out on? " I ask..
" Not something Jungkook. Something important, to me, to you, to every person that is connected with her... " He says while sighing.
" Hyung? What-"
" She converted in stage 4 Jungkook. She's not the Areum you're thinking she is.. " His voice breaks
" Hyung! You okay? What are you saying?? Please don't joke about it. What is it please tell me in detail please hyung! Well take a seat first.. " I rush to him and hold him to sit on the sofa..
" We found it months ago. Sorry I didn't inform you because I know you would take it seriously and maybe reveal it but I was dumb that I forgot that she literally studied about it " He says while holding my hand.
" Hyung, you should inform me before today. I know her well. Depending on what she said, she realized you were hiding things from her, and she would turn the world upside down to find out. Why don't you guys include me in anything Hyung? Am I not that worthy? " It hurts. It actually hurts seeing that the people you consider your life don't feel for you like that.
" Jungkook please. I didn't tell you for a reason. You won't keep it to yourself. You're way too emotionally attached to her..." He says
" Because I love her way too much, hyung. Without her I won't even be here today. You know how my parents were. They would easily sell me out if she didn't help me that night to come to her house. Obviously I'm emotionally attached to her. There is no one in this freaking world whom I love more than her. Nor there'll be." I raise my voice a little.
" Okay I understand, bu-"
" Hyung? As per my knowledge, stage 4 people struggle to keep it to themselves right?? " I cut off his words and asks
" Yes, why? "
" Hyung... You really made a mistake by not telling me. I found her that night on her desk. Her face, her arms were filled with fresh wounds. There was too much blood around her. What does that mean?" I ask hesitantly.
" FUCK!!!! Jungkook where she went? We need to find her. She might not control herself. We should go!!! " He freaks out.
" Calm down hyung. Let me handle this. She's upset with you. It'll be not a good idea if you face her right now. I'm going to search for her. I'll inform you.." With that I rush out of the room..
I run through the corridor like crazy. I thought she won't be not in her room so I try to find her in other places. But I don't find her. So I rush to her room and when I open the door... I can't believe what I see..
She's literally unbuttoning that person's shirt who is the reason of this fucking mess...
" I fucking knew it. Seriously Areum?? You're cheating with Jin Oppa" I say with a disbelief
" Shut the fuck up!! Don't talk with me. And what's with this bullshit you're spitting from your mouth? " She replies without even looking at me
" I'm spitting bullshit? What are you doing? Are you that much horny? You could just ask me, but no you're here to sex with your patient who basically passed out. I'm ashamed of you, Areum..." I say jokingly. It's alarming to see her in this calm state.
She doesn't say anything, just looks at me, " If you're done then come and help me out and he's not passed out. He's sleeping "
" What are you even doing? Seriously, why're you making him naked? " I ask
" For fuck sake why would I make him naked? He came here and I splash water on him so his dress got soaked. Help me to change him!!" She says in a rude tone
" Why? It's not like he passed out. He's sleeping basically. Wake him up and he'll do that by himself "
" Well at least remove his shirt. He'll catch a cold "
" Aish please! Stop being his mom. I'm doing okay?"
I see she eyes me and moves from the bed and goes to her desk. I remove his shirt carefully while cursing him in my mind. When I'm done I see Areum standing behind me with a file.
" Here is everything I've found about him in the past months. If you want anything else you can ask me " She turns but I hold her arm.
" Areum...."
" Do you need anything else? " She asks not even looking at me
I pull her in my embrace... I know she's hurt. Keeping things from her is a big mistake hyungs did... " I really didn't know any of it, Areum I swear. Hyung told me after you left. He shouldn't have done this. I'm really sorry on behalf of him " She doesn't say anything. I guess she's really upset right now. She doesn't even wraps her arms around me.
" And about telling me, it would be better if you've someone to discuss the things you've found, so that you won't feel pressure right? Why do you think they hide things from you? Because you'd be heartbroken...."
" Which I already am and thanks to your hyungs. Now leave me I've work to do " She's struggling under my embrace but I hold her tight. She really needs some affection right now and I was right when she wraps me and starts sobbing..
" We're sorry, Areum. Please forgive us. You know we love you so fucking much that when I saw you that day laying in your own pool of blood, I was crying like crazy. Please reach out for help. We're here for you Kuzi " I hold her softly
" Stop calling me that. Only Yoongi Oppa can call me that.." I chuckle because our Areum is coming back little by little.
I release her and wipe her tears, " But that doesn't mean you could come here and make naked your patient to calm yourself down " I thought she'd hit me but instead she says something that really take me by surprise.
" Kookie.... There's nothing to hide from you but... he actually calmed me down a little. I came here and my mind was a mess, like I really needed to do something. But when I saw him, sleeping peacefully.. Maybe it calmed me. My head stopped beating a little.
What is happening to me, Kookie? I'm a doctor but I don't have any logical explanation for this!"
I look at him. Then I look at her. Something is not okay. How can he calm her down? What trick does he play with Areum??
" Maybe you were too much into his case. Maybe you spent the whole time on him, that's why you're feeling like this. It'll go away, chill!" I say her shoulders
" I don't know. I'm really concerned about him " She says with a concern
" And what about you? You're a mess too, you know that? " I ask
She sighs, " Well that's why I'm his mentor and he's my patient. I can control myself while he can't" She says with a smile
" Well it settled then. Anyway.." I slide my hand in my pocket and bring it up, " Here's your 20 bucks that I had lost. Congratulations! " I say smiling but sadly.
" Kookie, are you serious? I don't need it. Keep it to yourself as my apology for bursting out on you " She says giving me the money back
" Well not this time, Areum.. You see.. So many readers are dying to see this scene that they won by you and I'm giving you the money. So please accept it, or they'll come after me "
She laughs like crazy and takes the money. I really love her smile, though it's not perfect, but it's rare
" But Areum.."
" Yeah? " She says while keeping the money on her purse
" What are you gonna do with him now? You were saying something like changing the atmosphere...." I ask
She comes in front of the bed, " Well when Hobi left, he strictly said to me to visit him recently "
" And what's that supposed to relate to him?? " I ask
She looks at me and smiles
" Maybe it's time to pay a visit to my Hobi "
