3rd Person's P.O.V.
Kanghyun couldn't believe that Jeongguk had found Jimin. 'Where? When? How? Wait, hospital!? What's wrong with Jimin? What's wrong with Jeongguk?' Their tight knit group had been looking for Jimin for over a year; Jimin moved in with his girlfriend two years before, but he dropped all contact six months after that and nobody hadn't seen or heard from him since, that they knew of. Because of Jimin's past their friends group were all very worried about the younger, it'd killed Dongmyeong when Jimin left because he doted on the tiny sweetheart who'd stolen all their hearts, but Dongmyeong's heart had left with Jimin and then shattered when Jimin had simply vanished. Kanghyun looked up at the three people who were gathered around him, but staring as best he could through his tears at Dongmyeong, he stuttered four words that would cause chaos to re-enter their lives.
"Kookie found our Jimin."
"WHAT!?" "WHAT?!" "Who?" Came the chorus of three voices.
Kanghyun showed his co-workers the sms he'd received less than a minute ago from Jeongguk showing the maknae's location and *I FOUND HIM* text that followed. Dongju leaned on the nearest table and blew out a huge breath, as if he'd been holding it in and didn't know it. Harin sat on the floor next to Kanghyun, wrapping an arm around him. Alex remained standing, unsure what was going on with her work friends this morning, so, she asked the question on her mind.
"Uh, who's this Jimin person? Is she important to you guys?" Alex was confused because she didn't remember the name Jimin coming up in any of their conversations before - though the way she had just seen them react to Kanghyun's news showed her that this Jimin person was pretty important to them.
Dongju took the lead in the conversation here, knowing that Kanghyun would probably not be able to stop crying long enough to give even a short version of what had happened.
"Jimin's our friend who went missing nineteen months ago. The short version is that Kanghyun saved Jimin's life. When Kanghyun brought him home from the hospital to recover we found out what he already knew. Jimin is such a precious person, definitely one of a kind, and someone who should never ever be treated the way he was. Our group all looked after each other for the next few years but my brother, Dongmyeong, he fell head over heels in love with Jimin. We all thought Jimin felt the same about Myeong, but Jimin announced he was moving out with his girlfriend.
"About half a year after he moved out he ghosted us. He dropped all contact and blocked all eleven of us, but because of his past which I won't go into, we were all really worried about our sweetheart, but don't get me wrong, when I call him sweetheart I mean it because he is a total sweetheart and would go out of his way to make others happy even when it makes him unhappy. We always made sure to treat him just as well as he treated us and we would never have taken advantage of his beautiful and loving nature. After he disappeared we searched for him every day but we could never find him. The cops didn't think much of it because he was 'his own grown ass man', as they put it, since he's considered an adult.
"The cops we spoke to didn't care to hear us out when we'd brought up his history of past abuse, it's like they just.... didn't care. I mean, cops are supposed to care and Jimin could've been dead by his ex best friend in a gutter somewhere and we wouldn't have known unless we saw it on the six-thirty news! Jimin didn't deserve anything he went through and he certainly deserved to have some asshole cops doing what they were paid to do and finding him!
"But Kanghyun here just got a message from our friend Jeongguk saying that he's found Jimin, our Jimin, and they're at a hospital in Seoul. What is going to happen now is that I'm going to call Myeong and Harin, Harin will come in to work while I am going to get Myeong to take Kanghyun to the hospital where Kookie is and find out what the fuck's going on."
Dongju ended his explanation by rubbing his hands over his face and kneeling next to Kanghyun, pressing their foreheads together. He put out his hand, silently asking to see the message on Kanghyun's phone, he smiled as the device was handed over. Pulling his own phone out of his back pocket he dialled Harin.
[KEY: HRN = Harin, DJU = Dongju]
* phone rings, long wait before call connects*
HRN: "The fuck you want?"
DJU: "Kookie found him."
HRN: "Found who?"
DJU: "Jimin." Dongju heard the sound of rustling, a quiet 'oof', and 'sorry babe'
HRN: "What! When? Where is he?"
DJU: "Get my brother and come to the cafe, I need you to work Kanghyun's shift while Myeong takes him to see Kookie and Jimin. They'll call us from there and we'll work out what we're going to do after that."
HRN: "Yeah. See you in fifteen."
DJU: "Make it ten."
HRN: "On our way."
* phone beeps, call disconnects*
Dongju hangs up and takes Kanghyun's phone, replies to Jeongguk's message, hoping he'll give Jimin the heads up that they're coming to see him. He wondered how Jeongguk even found their missing friend in Seoul General Hospital.
