TW: Assault
The true reality about busy cities is ...they never rest. whether it's early in the morning or the middle of the night .... Busy cities like Seoul don't catch a break ...
Every minute...every second ...a new incident is happening within it ...
one timeline ...thousands of lives are living within it
His footsteps were staggering ...his breath was panicked ...
Namjoon never experienced something like this in his life....
his father and sister-in-law were mobbed by some ...goons
sweat was dripping from his forehead ...like he came running all the way to the hospital...
When he picked up his Hyung's call.... his world shattered ...his Hyung was sobbing badly and a shuttering mess ...
He told him that his father and Ji-Eun were in hospital injured badly .... both of them are being treated by the doctors ...
Without any further explanation ...Namjoon drives rashly to the hospital ...hoping that the situation ... to be not that intense ...
"H-Hyung" He called for Seokjin was sitting on in front of the operation theater with his hand restricting his sobs
Seokjin looked up and hugged him tightly as he could ...His sobs were finally released ...
Wrapping his older brother around him tightly ...Namjoon let out some minimal tears ...
"H-How are they?"
"Dad have being unconscious when brought here......and Jieun..."
"What about her Hyung? don't scare me..." he looked straight in his eyes
"She is in labor ...Those people...hit her on stomach..."
A horrified gasp was let out by Namjoon ...his mind got more messed up on the life danger of his future Neice and nephew ...
"It's my first child Namjoon ...M-My wife... they both are in danger" Seokjin hugged him tightly and cried
Namjoon cried silently ...his mind was asking for answers ...who could have done this to his family
"Don't think like that Hyung ...nothing will happen to them..." he tried console him ...but in these times...it doesn't work
"T-They said they have to deliver the baby ...or else ...Jieun will be weak and her life would be in danger"
Seokjin cried without any barriers ...his eyes were swollen .... he was hiccupping badly
Never in his lifetime did he take any grudge against anyone ......why did he have to suffer like this?
"H-How did this happened and ...who helped them?"
As their daily routine, Mr. Kim went for an evening walk with his Sister-in-law ...he read somewhere... it was beneficial for pregnancy ......they both went to the nearest park...and walked for like 2 hours ....
usually, they wrap up their walks withing 1 or half hours ...but Jieun was feeling energetic today.... she requested her Father-in-Law to let them walk for some more time ...
and as we know...How loving Mr. Kim is ...he agreed
They enjoyed the sunset breeze of Seoul in the green park ....in the midst of the relaxation ...they ignored the time boundary
"Jieun ...it's 7:30 ...let's get home?"
"Yes, Dad"
Mr. Kim carefully grabbed her hand and helped her walk...
The sun was settling and it was kind of dark....
Mr. Kim clutched her hand tightly and walked faster ...an Unknown feeling of fear was creeping in him ....
They turned towards the street ...... when...the thing Mr. Kim feared ...was coming to reality
One of the biggest disadvantages of living in busy cities is that .... nobody gives a damn about anyone
Two tall buffed men ...cornered them suddenly .... Mr. Kim lost the contact with his daughter-in law...they both were thrashed along the shabby wall...separately
He yelled for his daughter
"LET ME GO!" His pleads were ignored and his forehead was slammed into the wall. Making it bleed...
Adrenaline rushed to him ...his ears were ringing the screams of his daughter-in-law ...
those men manhandled them both ...
"LET US GO PLEASE WE HAVE NOTHING WITH US!" his yelled but his voice didn't hold a rage...it was rather a negotiating tone
"Your old waste we were ordered to harm you guys ...we are not some local thugs..."
one of them men spoke defending their profession ...looks like their ego was hurt that they were presumed as thugs
"P-Please let us go..." Mr. Kim pleaded ...but his pleads went into deaf ears ...
That man started thrashing a baseball bat on his aged legs ...he screamed in pain ...with tears streaming down his cheeks
Jieun on the other side ...was also suffering.... her hairs were clutched and she was trying to get away from him ...
She was repeatedly being slapped by that disgusting man.... making her dizzy...
her pregnancy was making it difficult for her to defend ...her only main motive was to protect her baby .... her arms were wrapped on her stomach ...while that man was brutally assaulting her face
"L-LEAVE HIM PLEASE!!" With blurry vision she saw her father-in-law getting beaten up with the bat ...
Mr. Kim was not able to see anything ...everything happened so fast that his heart was beating in his head...
Their screams were resonating the street...but no car stopped to check on them
The man who was handling Kim Jieun suddenly stopped and roamed his hand on her stomach ...
"Pregnancy really make women ...tasty..." He whispered viciously and started to touch her .... inappropriately
"Leve her Leo! ...Boss said only to change her face ...and do not touch her baby!"
The man threw the bruised body Mr. Kim on the ground and came across his partner
"Don't touch her baby! ...Let's just do the work and get out from here..." He grabbed the arm of Leo who was not ready to listen to him
"Fuck the orders ...marcel...let do something fun..."
"BOSS SAID TO BEAT THEM UP LEO ...LEAVE HER BABY OUT OF IT!" Marcel was insisting Leo, to follow the orders ...
"SHUT UP-"
"Leave them before I shoot!" A cold voice interrupted their heated argument ...
Marcel looked over Leo's shoulder...to see a ...a well-suited man holding a gun straight pointed to their heads...
Leo grunted and shoved ...Jieun to the wall ...making her stomach smash on it .... she cried in pain ...clutching her pregnant belly
He turned and smirked ...disgustingly ...
Leo observed the man .... that man was looking highly reputed ...judging by his clothes and shoes
"A man like you should not mess with us Mister....I'm giving you chance run... before I get angry..."
The man pointing gun towards them ...scoffed
"I SAID....LEAVE BEFORE I SHOOT YOU FUCKER!"
"As if you will Mr. Rich ass " Marcel snicked and laughed
Rich snobs never like to take special attention from police cases and all .... this is why those assaulters estimated that man to be same ...
That man had enough ...without any warning .... he shot the right leg of Leo and both arms of marcel
"I wasn't joking..."
"I will report you to the police ..." Leo grunted and limped ...
"Go ahead ...fucker ......My sister is a lawyer she'll take care of it..." That man with a gun punched them ....and Leo and marcel ...ran away from the site ...
That man tucked the gun in his waistband and ran towards the sorrowful cry of Jieun ...
"Mam...Mam...Can you get up..." He hurriedly tried to make her stand ... she whimpered and scared away .... her hands were still protecting the baby ...she horrifyingly looked at the gun in his waistband
"Don't panic mam ...the gun is legal ...I'm here to help .... My car is just meters away if you please walk to it ...I'll carry your father to car..." That man tried to negotiate .... He looked around and saw the elderly figure .... beaten to unconsciousness lying on the cold street...
Jieun nodded and stood up yelping in pain ...he led her to the car ......
He ran back to the site and held Mr. Kim's body and carried it to his car...he felt his pulse and sighed in relief ......when it was barely feeling
He was driven urgently to the hospital ....
"EMERGENCY SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!" he called for doctors as soon he entered
Mr. Kim and Jieun were admitted immediately .... he sighed and sat down outside ...when a nurse approached him
"These are the mobile phones of the patients .... are you the family?"
"No"
"Can you please contact them?" He nodded and took the mobile phone from her hand
He opened the first one ...because it was not protected with screen lock ....
scrolling thought the contact he came across the Contact named 'son 1 ' and 'Son 2 ' ...after debating which number to call ...he finally dialed the contact's name ...'Son 1 '
"Dad where are you-"
"Hello? "
"W-who are you?"
"Good evening, Mister .... I'll get straight to the point...the owner of this phone and the lady with him are admitted in hospital .... please come fast ...they have been brutally mobbed by some ...street thugs"
The silence on the other end of the phone was...suffocating ...
"Hello mister? Can I get your name?"
"I-I am Kim Seokjin ...I'll be there .... please take care of them.... I'll be there in 5 minutes -"
"No Need to worry Mr. Seokjin ...I'm Min Yoongi .... y-you take your time...I'll be here"
"Mr. Seokjin, I have already paid the bills-"
"Y-Yoongi Hyung" Namjoon whispered and stood up in shock....
Seokjin told everything to Namjoon how he got a call and how a man named Min Yoongi helped his father and wife ...
Just as he finished narrating him .... Yoongi entered
"Namjoon?"
"I-Is this your family?" Yoongi asked in shock .... He just went out to complete formalities. Since Seokjin was not in right headspace
when he returned ...he found a familiar figure-hugging Seokjin
"My Dad and sister-In-Law" Namjoon's voice wavered with clogging tears ...
Now, yoongi understood ...why the name of that elder man was seeming familiar to him
That was the situation on one side of Seoul......as mentioned in the start ...In one timeline ...thousands of lives are living within it ...
someone is crying ......someone is laughing
same as that ...someone is grieving ..............while someone is frustrated
Here, in a Modern office ....one frustrated lawyer was trying to concentrate ...but her thoughts wouldn't let her
It would be around 7pm in the evening .... your hands and your brain were working a mile per minute ... your mind was exhausted
Over-thinking was your talent ...and that's what you were doing
Over-thinking has a special trait ....it never stops...just as you knew that you have successfully spent hours over-thinking over an utter waste topic ...your mind will present you the new topic to over-think
You were over-thinking about the incidents that took place this morning
It was not the first time Namjoon ever asked to hang out with you ...it's a kind of very awkward ...the man who is now demanding for your time ...was the same man who rejected and insulted you years ago...
This is the reason you don't want any possible strings attached to him...He brings back some memories ...
But the Namjoon you saw today was not usual ......his eyes had sleep-deprived bag under them...his face was pale ....and his features were exhausted ...clearly depicting he is not getting any proper sleep these days ...
He was anxious for some reason
He was messing with his nails while sitting in the cafe.... his eyes were not stable in one place.... his leg was bouncing from time to time...He even took a strong whip of coffee ...
This was your lawyer habit .... you observe very well...unintentionally you observed Namjoon too...
Kim Namjoon is a very good Lawyer ...you knew that...so good, that not once in all these months you saw him stressed like this .... this was the first time...
You don't know why you were over-thinking about him this much......apparently Kim Namjoon was on your mind whole day today...
His solemn and Hopeless eyes again came in your mind when you ...denied hanging out with him...you almost felt bad.... almost
Frustration
You felt a frustration creeping in your mind with the total over-thinking you were doing ...there was no point in feeling bad for Namjoon .... You despise him, don't you?
'Just complete this fucking case and get out of Seoul Y/N ...before this place makes you hypnotize under the spell...'
you groaned and slammed your head on the keyboard of your laptop....
The court hearing was ...the day after tomorrow ...you were preparing the delineate report for the things you were going to present
But your stupid mind was distracting you from your work and indulging you in some highly useful thoughts of Namjoon
"Are you done?"
Jackson's head peeked from the door of your cabin ...you raised your head and grimaced ...
The report was taking longer than usual to write...
"I'm halfway done..." your fingers glided over the slim keys of laptop......you licked your dry lips and sighed heavily....
only 4 letters were gracing your delineate report ...
Byun Baekho's personal camera
"I don't think so..." Jackson opened the door with a doubtful face ...and entered taking long strides to your desk...
He grabbed the screen of the laptop and turned it towards him .... Reading those long four words ...his face looked so done...
"Seriously..." he glanced at you with bored eyes ...
you rubbed your hands over face ...trying to Shake off some tiredness ...
"2 hours, and you have done this..." Jackson sat across from you with his hands crossed on his chest...
"What's on your mind?" he asked you straightforwardly ...knowing you are not that of slacker...who would not do the work usuriously
His question made you groan inwardly.... he reads you too well...But...you were not going to take the risk of sharing your thoughts about Namjoon....
Jackson springs like a dynamite upon hearing that name....and seriously, you were in no headspace to deal with his preaching's
"The case"
Jackson raised his eyebrows in confusion .... He knows ...you were not stressed about the case ...something else was cooking in your mind...
"If you were thinking over case...then why this report is still empty?"
Off-guard ...he caught you off-guard ...
You bite your lower lip...suddenly feeling attacked from all sides ...
"Uh...I was thinking about the camera...why did Baekhyun hid this from us?"
Now, that diverted Jackson's mind from your weird behavior
"Maybe that camera has something in it..."
Like a light bulb in cartoons ...a new theory glows in your mind...
'He saw something he was not supposed to...'
And now this Camera .... if you are thinking right...something crucial is probably recorded in that camera ...
you just need to find that...
"Woah! ...you have a big brain Jax!" you smiled with your tired featured and heard an infection laugh of your best friend
"I Know right!"
You mentally sighed in relief ...that you were able to doge the topic...not knowing Jackson knows you .... more than you know yourself
Eventually, he has to find himself ...why were you stressing so much...
"Oh my god ...someone urgently needs to invent teleporting..." Jackson whined and fake-cried
"Shut it...you are not even driving..." you changed the gear of the car and speeded ...
"But still, my pretty best friend is driving with so much struggle..." he grabbed your hand which was on your lap...
"I'll defiantly invent it for you..."
point to be noted ...whenever Jackson wang is exhausted or tired .... he gets cuddly ...
12 Am in the middle of the night ...you were driving on the few traffic road ...with Jackson wang clinging on your right hand ...
"Wait what if it is already invented and they are just using it for their own good..."
Jackson wang doesn't seem to let go of that imaginary teleportation invention...you made a weird annoyed face and jerked your right arm...
He let out a 'humph' sound and resumed clinging to .... your right hand
"What if Elon musk already have it in his closet?"
"Yeah, yeah..."
You had no choice but to join him in his discussion
"Hyung~" Jackson opened the door and sang ...to call your brother ...
you slapped the back of his head and showed him your watch ...
"don't you think oppa would be sleeping" He snickered and slapped your head
"Look over the refrigerator, will you?" You vision glanced at the refrigerator
'Some work came up ...I'll be back later in Night...'
A slip note was stuck on it ...with the signature of your older brother...
You swear you almost got annoyed ...of how much overwork your brother does .... He needs rest...
"Fine...Go to sleep Jax..." you turned and walked towards your room...
when you were about to climb the stairs ...you turned again and saw Jackson standing there with a ...pout?
you sighed heavily and walked to him
Grabbing his cheeks with your both hands ...you bended his head a little ...and kissed his forehead
"Go to sleep Jax..." you smiled and patted his cheek
Jackson smiled to himself and went to his bedroom
You were walking down the small hallway that led to your bedroom ......walking towards it you saw your brother's room wide open ...
should you call him ...for his whereabouts?
You frowned and took out your phone and scrolled through contacts...
'He may be busy ...I should not disturb him...'
your mind was telling you otherwise ...but still you dialed the number......withing three rings he picked up...
<Oppa?]
[Y/N ...I am busy- family of Kim soo-hyuk? >
Yoongi didn't want to tell his sister about where he was ...because he didn't want her to get worried ...she already works hard ...and arrives late at night ...... but doctor's call behind him .... was very clearly audible to you
<That sounded like hospital .... Where are you brother?!]
you panicked and clutched the phone tightly in your palms
Yoongi sighed heavily ...because there was no way to avoid you now...
[Listen carefully Y/N ...just don't panic alright?>
<Tell me where are you?!]
You screamed ...without considering the quite surrounds
[I-I am at the hospital ...Namjoon's father had an accident, now they are in the ICU->
<Fucking ...hell]
you ended the call and ran to your car......knowing you would track down Yoon
Relationships are not always ...blood related ...sometimes ...emotions and values play an important role...
