Back To You ( S.W.M. Sequel)

38 - The Search

Jimin's P.O.V.

I was exhausted. Every single day for the past month, I've been working really hard for our upcoming concert and activities overseas.

Thankfully, starting tomorrow, we were given 4 days off in order to rest up before having to start our activities. Making my way down the halls of the company, I head for the elevator.

After turning a corner, I stop walking as I find myself standing in front of a room. As I look through the window of the door, I see how empty it is. This was the practice room that Ally liked to use when she needed to practice.

I start to remember all the times I've walked by here and stopped to watch her. She was always practicing really hard, making sure to perfect every one of her moves. It was through this window that I watched her get better and better and that made me happy for her.

As I smile at these memories, my heart starts to yearn for her. Suddenly, everything started hurting.

The silence and unanswered questions were killing me slowly. I didn't know what else to do in order to reach Ally. No matter how many texts of calls I send, she never responds back.

I have to find her.

I started to feel this huge impulse to go find her no matter what it took. I had to. I need to know if she is safe.

Without wasting another minute, I called my manager. It wasn't long until they picked up.

"Hey, I need you to arrange for me the next flight to L.A. There's something I need to take care of urgently."

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Taking a deep breath, I try to calm myself down, but I couldn't help but feel excited in some way. Ally could be behind this door.

After flying out, I was currently standing in front of Ally's house. I managed to remember the address hoping that I'd need it one day.

The whole flight here, I tried to figure out how to talk to Ally. What to ask her and how to do it, but for some reason I couldn't find the right combination of words.

I was nervous because I didn't know what I could be confronting with. What if she changed? What if she doesn't want to see me and wants nothing to do with me?

I shake those thoughts out of my head and decide to stop stalling. I came here with a purpose and I wasn't leaving until I've achieved it. So taking one last breath, I knock on the door.

Everything was silent. I waited a bit longer before knocking again, but nothing. Knocking once again, louder this time, I was able to hear footsteps from inside. They were in a rush.

My heart started to accelerate at the thought that I might see Ally. I watch how they unlock the door and swing it open.

I was greeted by wide eyes as I looked at them the same. It was her younger sister.

She looks at me for a while before it sinks in for her. I watch as she starts to open her mouth in shock, but I quickly put a finger against my lips telling her to be quiet. Covering her mouth quickly, she nods her head.

"What are you doing here? Wait, is Hobi here too?" As she closes the door behind her and steps outside, she begins to search frantically for Hoseok.

"No. I came by myself." She stops and looks at me confused.

"No body guard or manager?" I shake my head.

"I'm looking for your sister? Is she here by any chance?"

"Ally? Why would she be here?"

I felt my heart fall to the pit of my stomach. Her own family didn't even have a clue with what was going on. They still think that she's in Seoul. Standing there looking at her, I debated if I should tell her what's going on or not. If I didn't, she'd be suspicious and concerned. She'd probably even contact Ally and tell her that I came all the way here to find her and maybe that would scare her to hide from me.

But the more I looked at her, I started to feel bad. How could she not know what's happening with her sister and her whereabouts? Even if I had to explain everything, she deserved the right to know.

After telling her everything that's happened, I could see how worried she grew. I made her promise not to tell anyone, not even her parents since maybe there was a reason why Ally hasn't told them yet. We exchange phone numbers to keep in contact in case she figures out where she is.

"I know I may sound selfish, but what am I getting out of this? For all I know, I could figure out where she is and not tell you."

I was astonished to see that she was blackmailing me right now after everything that I told her.

"How does soundcheck and backstage passes to our upcoming concert sound like?"

She stands there looking at me with narrow eyes as she thinks about my offer. Once she starts to cross he arms, I knew that she wasn't fully convinced. I mean, what more could you want than soundcheck and backstage passes? Also, I'm literally sitting on her porch right now talking to her face to face and exchanged numbers!

"And I get to hug Hoseok."

My mind starts to take me back to the last time that she hugged him. We all had to pull her away from Hoseok as she didn't want to let go and was depriving him from oxygen. He was a little traumatized after that. But I knew that if I wanted her help, I had to make some sacrifices.

"Deal." We both shake on it as I apologize to Hoseok under my breath as I basically just threw him under the bus.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

As I walk into my hotel room, I go straight to my bed and flop down on it. It's been a long day and I haven't slept in almost 24 hours. How could I possibly sleep?

I decided to freshen up a bit with a quick shower and call it a night. Tomorrow is my last day here before I have to head back home.

After I'm done showering, I surrender to my bed as I get ready to go to sleep. Just as I was about to turn off the lights, a text came in. Initially I was going to ignore it, but more texts followed after.

As I unlock my phone and check who it is, I shoot up as I read the text. Quickly, I call them.

"Jimin! I found out where Ally's living!"

"Are you serious?"

"Yes! I'll text you her address. I just talked to her so she's still awake. Hurry!"

Without another second passing by, I spring out of my bed and quickly put on my shoes, coat, and my stuff as I run out the door.

The adrenaline was coursing through my body at full speed and I couldn't contain myself. I sprinted outside as I waited for my Uber to come. Once they pull up, I quickly get inside and give them the address.

She was only 20 mins away from where I was staying. Who knew that she was this close to me all along.

After months, I was finally going to see her. I was finally going to get answers. But most importantly, I was finally going to be able to have her in my arms.

The drive there felt like an eternity, but once we arrived, I quickly made my way out. They were apartments.

I search carefully for her number as I walk through the halls. I was getting very impatient after passing so many numbers that weren't hers, but after looking, I was finally standing right in front of her door.

My heart was pounding in my chest and my hands were shaking. I couldn't tell if they were from nerves or excitement. Regardless, I finally found her.

I had no idea what to say to her or how to even explain why I'm here, but one thing that I did know is that I was never going to let her disappear from my life ever again.

I knock on her door and wait anxiously. I could hear rummaging happening on the other side. Listening
carefully to every movement, I watch as the door handle twists and the door starts to open.

As soon as the door opens completely, I raise my head up to look at her. Once my eyes lay on her, I let out a sigh of relief.

Without thinking, I grab onto her arm as I pull her towards me and I wrap my arms around her tightly, afraid that she'll disappear from me again.

I've spent countless days and nights thinking about this moment and now that it's happening, I am really happy.

"I finally found you."
