BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, Jul 20 - Jungkook (Hospital's Rooftop)

[Place: Hospital]

I limped around the hospital hallway. I'd be discharged a couple of days from now. I couldn't go to sleep.

The surveillance video that the police had shown me, the witness who had disappeared, and my friends who wouldn't tell me things straight. I walked to tire myself out so that I could shake off these thoughts.

Suddenly, I saw an iron door in front of me. I didn't know I'd walked up to the top of the emergency stairway. I opened the door to the rooftop.

Sitting on the railing, I looked up at the night sky and slowly stood up. I took one step and another on the railing. I walked dragging my left foot in a cast. Feeling unbalanced, my body kept swaying sideways. I looked down. The cars in the parking lot looked like a small toys, and the people looked so small and vulnerable that I could squash them with my finger. I felt a sudden spasm in my knees and lurched from side to side. I extended both of my arms to regain my balance.

I came down from the railing, sweating. I couldn't understand why I'd gone up there in the first place. What if I'd fallen off? I turned and saw the night view of Songju over the railing. "I wouldn't die even if it were to make someone happy!" I spat out the words to the lights.

Even if someone had to die, I had no intention of being that someone.

I grabbed my crutches and headed back to the iron door. As I walked down the stairs, the sensor lights turned on.
