I sat quietly beside Taehyung who was busy talking with the others who was just around the room. While me on the other hand was completely confused as to why I even went to Namjoon's room at this point. I really wanted to talk to him at first so I dragged Hoseok with me here but the moment I entered the room my mind became blank.

So here I am staring at everyone, observing them while my thoughts were roaming everywhere, asking all these confusing questions.

I have never been so paranoid my whole life. All the emotions I felt then, was coming back to me.

I breathed out heavily as I leaned my back on my seat.

My conscience was killing me slowly as I looked at Taehyung and Jungkook who was laughing so innocently as they talked to the other two. 

Knowing that these two knew nothing, I really wanted to tell them the truth about Jimin's condition and not hide it as a secret any further. I got dazed, wanting to mentally stab myself with a knife feeling responsible for some reason.

I really hated hiding secrets from people when it's a serious matter, especially when it's about someone who is already on the verge of death.

And knowing that those three maknaes are close friends, it's impossible for them to freak out– like what almost happened to me.

It feels horrible for knowing nothing.

So... That's what it might have felt. The feeling that you know nothing about a person you care about is already slowly dying. 

But on the bright side... I kinda wanted to have that feeling back. I hated the feeling of knowing this thing about Jimin, it breaks my heart. And I think the others who knows Jimin's situation feels that too.

It's so fucking horrible.

"Hey, hyung," Namjoon walked towards my direction, leaving the Hoseok, Jungkook and Taehyung talking on the side. I looked up to him, having no energy to response since I felt tired of everything. So I raised my eyebrows instead. "I heard that Hoseok told you everything. I'm sorry if we tried to hide it from you. We just didn't want you to get dep-"

I closed my eyes for a second which made Namjoon stop what he was saying. I sighed heavily and nodded as I patted the free space beside me on the couch, giving the tall guy a sign to sit with me for a while. Which he did.

"It's okay... I know that I already got depressed when my older brother died because of his sickness," I tried to put out a smile, wanting to tell Namjoon that I was fine. "And I know that you know that you guys were the biggest reason for me to go through all of those shitty feelings. Without you guys being with me, I'll probably not be here anymore."

"Hyung, don't say that," Namjoon put his hand on my shoulder as I looked down the floor.

I really didn't know what to feel. I thought of Jimin as my little brother already since we met because he also became a large reason for me to change.

And yes, I did thought of killing myself in the past since my brother was the only one I had with me since childhood. I was weak without him, and I didn't know what to do when he was never near my sight since I was a coward.

But then, the guys tried to change that for me. And I was thankful for that, despite the fact that it is really hard to understand me since I'm not good at expressing my feelings in front of other people. Especially then, when I first moved to Busan with my brother to get a proper job for once.

I continued to look down as memories started bombarding inside my brain again. "Sorry, I just really want to see Jimin right now." I replied after a few minutes, feeling really gloomy.

"Do you want me to accompany you to Jimin's ro-"

Before Namjoon could even finish what he was saying again, we heard the door open which made all of us silent and look over at the direction of the sound.

And there we saw Jin hyung, with the two girls behind his back. A smile creeping on hyung's face as he entered the room. "We have good news."

"Good news?" Taehyung and Jungkook asked in unison.

"You two, go to your rooms," Jin hyung ordered.

"BUT IT'S GOOD NEWS!" Taehyung whined, pouting like a little child.

"Yeah! We want to know too!"

"Just do it fam," Jin hyung said, glaring at them, gaining a groan from the two young boys as they left the room with gloomy faces. 

Once, they closed and locked the door, Jin hyung clapped once and smiled widely. "SO! We discovered something that could save Jimin."

"Wait wha-" Hoseok was about to talk but Jin hyung stopped him.

"Aye aye aye! Lemme talk first and these two girls could explain later if you have any questions," Jin hyung said while obviously avoiding eye contact with me.

He's guilty again.

"So Yoohyeon here said that Jimin is slowly dying by the means of dreaming. How? Well let's just say that something, or someone rather, is removing his soul from his body slowly and surely. And if we didn't stop this from happening..." Jin hyung paused as he looked at Yoohyeon's direction who looked surprised as hesitation was written all over her face.

"Should she really say it? I think we could explain this in a mor-" Gahyeon tried to defend her hesitating sister, but in the end Yoohyeon spoke up her head facing the ground to cover up her face.

"Jimin oppa... might never have a chance to get his body back and live as a missing soul forever. And when that happens, we will never ever have a chance to interact with him again."

I saw Hoseok's expression from my peripheral vision as it slowly turned gloomy while he listened to Yoohyeon's explanation.

Well he was not alone.

I felt scared too.

"Bu-but you said there was a way to cure, right?" I asked, waiting for an answer that could finally make me calm.

"Yes we did," Gahyeon replied, but the smile on her face slowly faded away as I saw her gulp. "But I'm afraid that it we are insufficient time before we could even cure him."

"What? But it's just a dreamcatcher!" Jin hyung snapped. "Shouldn't we have more than enough time?"

"Yes, but I told you it's not a normal one. We'll be needing more time than ever."

"But..." Jin hyung paused as Namjoon patted his back, giving him a sign that he will take care of everything.

"Just do what you have to do, Yoohyeon," Namjoon spoke up, making Jin hyung calm down. I saw his eyes look at me for a split second before he continued talking. "We don't need another member of ours dying. So if you need our help we're just here if there's trouble."

Yoohyeon nodded. "Thank you o-"

All of us became silent, when Yoohyeon stopped talking, she looked terrified as she looked behind all of us. Shivers sent through my spine as I heard the door which was supposed to be locked creaking as it opened.

"How...?" She mumbled as she continued staring.

I turned around to see what it was, my eyes widening as I saw a familiar figure entering the room.

"Hi hyung," He looked at me, smiling as he greeted.

It was Jimin.

But he was different this time.
