Chapter Seventeen

He couldn't get involved.

He promised himself that he wouldn't get involved.

It would only hurt everyone..

Including you.

_____________________________________________________________________

Jimin's eyes were narrowed as he stared at the man in front of him, jaw tightening as he clenched his fist, mind struggling to process the information he had just been fed.

He didn't think he could believe it.

Another world?

Another reality outside your own? It was a foolish notion- a fleeting thought of a simple-minded child.

When he had come back to the house that night, he had been met with a frantic, crazy-eyed Namjoon. The raven-haired man grabbed him by his shoulders and shook him, screaming something about him being too late.

When he asked what was going on, Namjoon had claimed that you had been taken.

This caused Jimin to begin worrying.

He wanted to call the police, but Namjoon stopped him, telling him that there was no point...he already knew where you were....But when Jimin asked, Namjoon was hesitant to tell him.

It wasn't until Jimin threatened to have him arrested did he finally start speaking.

He had spoken about this "other world" where different version's of oneself walk and talk just like normal people. He told him about his brothers and their desire to have you to themselves and their loyalty to their master whom he deemed as "other Jimin".

The blond-haired man, of course, thought this was utter nonsense...until Namjoon pulled out the doll.

It looked exactly like you, a large smile on it's face as it's e/c button eyes shined underneath the light.

Jimin's mind went back to your first day here..you had mentioned something about a doll...but he never thought anything of it...until now.

"So, you're telling me that my girlfriend was kidnapped by another version of me that lives in a different world that looks like this one, but it slightly better?"

Namjoon sighed, running a hand through his hair as he nodded.

"Ex girlfriend." He corrected. "And I know it sounds crazy, trust me, but everything I told you is the truth...she's in danger."

Jimin's brows crashed together.

"Let's assume that I believe you," He gritted. "Why didn't anyone tell me about this before? Why didn't Y/n tell me?"

Namjoon swallowed.

"She thought they were dreams." He explained. "She had no idea what she was really getting herself into...and when I told her the truth...she asked me not to tell you."

Jimin's expression hardened.

"I don't care." He snapped. "If you knew that I was the only thing that could bring her back, you should have told me! Then we wouldn't be in this mess!"

"So you believe me?" The black-haired man questioned.

Jimin huffed out, crossing his arms.

"I don't trust you." He growled. "But I don't think you would joke about something as serious as this..."

Namjoon sighed in relief.

"Thank god." He breathed in relief. "Now, we can begin to plan."

"Plan?" Jimin repeated. "We don't need a plan, we need to go to that world and bring her back!"

Namjoon shook his head slowly.

"It isn't as simple as that." He started. "If we just show up, we'll be on his playing field...he could kill us both and keep her there for eternity."

"So what, you want us to just stay here and wait?!" Jimin asked. "If what you told me is true, then she's in danger. I cannot just sit here-"

"If you go there, he'll kill you and you'll be of no help to her!" Namjoon roared.

Jimin fell silent, hands rubbing down his face as he moved his gaze to the wooden floor of the living room.

"I should have been here," He breathed. "I-If I had just moved the interview to tomorrow I-"

"Interview?" Namjoon questioned. "I thought you were going on a date."

The blond shook his head, eyes sad.

"I let her believe that.." He breathed. "I was really going to a job interview...I wanted something that would give me more free time...more time to be with her like I should have been.."

Namjoon frowned at his confession, fists clenching.

"You can't change the past." He gritted. "Don't beat yourself up about this...We just need to focus on getting her back."

"What if it's too late?" Jimin asked.

Namjoon sighed.

"Then, there's nothing we can do to save her."
