18: Mysterious being
Ignore mistakes, please
Third person P.O.V
The rustling and loud voices of the bustling crowd made it difficult to walk through and hear the person next to them.
"Ah, it's so rushy." Jimin groaned in frustration when he got pushed aside by a bulky man who just walked past him in a great hurry.
Jin pressed his lips in a thin line as he carefully walked through the crowd, the younger following behind him in hurried steps.
After getting the same location from many different resources, they decided to go to the place themselves and search for any other clue as Police has almost given up on the case.
"Let's get a cab from here." Jimin scowled at the suggestion, well that wasn't in their plan.
"We have our own ride, then why a cab?" Jin continued walking and looking around to find a cab, ignoring the other's words and a little protest.
They found a cab parked at a distance, the driver busy in sipping on a plastic cup that must be coffee or something hot as the steam was leaving it in the cold weather.
Once again, having a quick glance around the area, the older of the two marched towards the driver who had a khaki long coat and brown pants on.
"Are you on a break?" Jin asked politely to which the other gave him a look before nodding his head.
"Where do you wanna go?" Jimin stayed silent, watching the older to do whatever he want.
"I want to go to-" A phone call interrupted the two and Jin had to excuse himself as it was from his boss.
Jimin stayed behind, watching as another boy get to the driver and after a few words exchanged between them, the boy sat at the back with a bag and the driver threw his cup in the nearest dustbin before driving away.
"Where did he go?!"
"Um- a boy took the cab and they just went away." Jin sighed disappointed but looked around for another cab but found no one else free. In the end, they decided to take their own car to reach the exact location.
The location came out as a leading road to the highway, wide and clean without many traces from the past weeks. A few bushes and tall trees were present at a distance from the main road, but nothing much.
"It directly leads to the highway and then to Chuncheon, also Taehyung's phone was located here for the last activity." Jimin nodded, confirming while using the GPS.
"It means, he was on the right way?"
Jin decreased the speed of their car, eyes carefully observing around as a few vehicles were moving along their own.
"I don't know, maybe or maybe not?" Jimin's phone buzzed this time, and a small smile formed on his lips when he noticed the contact number, his new crush that would definitely not going to last long.
Judging from his smile, Jin scoffed, mumbling something like 'not again' that Jimin heard but gladly ignored.
"Hey, my sweetie." Jin sighed again, trying his best to distract himself from listening to the sweet, extra-sweet talk. But he still wishes that this time, he actually finds real love that he couldn't in past relationships.
"Aww, are you missing me already?"
"Really?!" The change in Jimin's expressions was comical and Jin felt like crying for his single self.
"Um, yes. It's not giving us much lead, but we are still hoping for the best." Their conversation went on till Jin decided to go out of the car when they were exactly near the location.
He turned on his torch as Jimin followed him after ending the call with lots of 'miss you too.
They carefully watched around the dry grass and sand but found nothing much. Of course, the police did a whole search of the area and found nothing, not even the phone or any single trace.
After spending about one hour, they felt defeated and decided to go back.
"I can't believe that he is gone, it's too much to digest, hyung." Jin gritted his teeth, still not agreeing that their bubbly friend is gone.
Taking a deep breath, he turned his head towards the younger before squeezing his shoulder in the assuring way possible.
"He is fine, I still believe that he is alive and fine.!"

"Hyung!" Jungkook was still being dragged away from the cabin, causing the silver-haired to run behind him. The growling and the weird sounds just doubled over when he stepped out of the cabin.
The darkness makes it difficult to see the one dragging his hyung, but he could still see the raventte fighting against the grip against his throat.
"No.. no, no." His body was desperately trying to reach the older but the frantic movements of the mysterious being made it difficult.
After spending one or two minutes struggling, he could finally see the other and Jungkook gasping in the hold of that thing.
"HEY! LEAVE HIM!" Despite his trembling body, he managed to shout at the inhuman thing in front of him but the other was too much focused on the raven-haired, growling and trying to bite him.
Taehyung's body felt frozen, his heartbeat quickened and his mind seemed to be numb when Jungkook screamed in pain, trying his best to stop the thing from biting his shoulder or neck.
"Do something- do- do something." Chanting to himself, he looked around in a great panic to find anything of help but there was nothing much except for the half-rotten logs and small branches. He wanted to help him like the older did many times.
Pulling on his own hair harshly, he rushed back to the cabin to find nothing but the old chair near the table. Without having second thoughts, he grabbed it and ran outside to slam that right at the head of the unidentified thing.
The monster stopped forcing Jungkook on the impact, it was like a small pause, a very tense pause as Taehyung watched the broken chair pieces on the ground and nothing much happened to the other.
He gaped loudly when the thing threw Jungkook away, causing the raventte to fall at a distance after being hit by the fence. But before he could rush to help the older who lay there lifeless after the torture, the thing roared in front of him.
The loud growl made the silver-haired stumbled back when the face came into view. It was the same, the same hybrid he saw before but with a more murderous look on his distorted face. Those eyes, which looked rather calm before were filled with rage, hunger, or thirst and that made him shudder badly.
With his ragged and shallow breathing, he stepped back in terror, limbs ready to give up but the adrenaline in his veins kept him much aware of the situation.
The hybrid or more like a mysterious being, stepped towards him without any limps, his eyes shining red, black veins popping out in the remaining white of the ball. The remaining skin was starting to rot while the skin near his jaw was completely gone.
The stench, the same stench of the ghouls made the silver-haired gage but he covered his mouth, eyeing the broken wooden pieces on the ground.
His shaky pupils fell on the raven-haired who was still laying in the same position, and it just made his heart drop in fear. The poor male was still screaming but it was dying slowly, just like his hope.
The hybrid kept on eying him for a moment and when he thought that he could use it to escape and get the wooden piece, he heard the loud growling of the ghouls and he was sure that another poor soul became their meal.
The tall being snapped his head back on the howling and let out a deep growl as well, making Taehyung's spine shiver in fear.
Now or never!
Looking at the slightly distracted hybrid, he quickly ducked down to roll over the ground as his hand desperately tried to get hold of the wooden piece but a blood-curling scream left his chapped lips when the beast stepped on his hand and cracked it right there, breaking his wrist bone right at the moment.
Before he could take a hold of his emotions, he was lifted up by his throat, making him at the level of the slightly distorted face. The boney hand pressed harder on his throat, suffocating him fully as those red and black eyes stared down at his soul.
The stench was itself torturing and the pressure just made it more difficult to take in any amount of oxygen.
His right hand was already immobile after broken bones and his left hand weakly tried to release himself from the strong grip but was of no use.
The ghouls again roared at a distance, making him look towards the forest and he swear, he saw many pairs of glowing red eyes looking at him.
His lungs started to give up but his mind was still trying to keep him awake, hand still weakly fighting and landing on the bones of the long hand.
Hyung? Are you ok? Please.. get up, please be alive...
Glancing for the last time at the still body of the raven-haired with his blurry vision, he let his hand fall on his side, feeling disgusted when the beast leaned over his face to lick his neck with teeth grazing there.
But he couldn't fight anymore, closing his eyes with only one thought in his head.
I'm sorry, hyung...
