Blake's POV
"This conference is sure hard but I'm glad you two spoke out."
Christine tells Bora and Inhye after the conference for Junghwa is over. Junghwa is still nowhere to be found and I can see the stress of her disappearance weighing on them three.
"I'm glad we are speaking out. It's so unfair for Jen to go through so much already." Bora says with a pout. "Cheer up Bora, let's just pray the people who took her will keep her safe." Inhye reassures her.
I then see Christine's face being very worried, she's been like this and I have a very weird feeling like everybody else that she might know something in relation to Junghwa's disappearance
"Are you okay?" I asked Christine and she nods her head without saying anything. "You sure?" I asked her. "I just want Jen back and safe. There's nothing wrong being the younger sister of a world rising star." Christine says with a pout sighing
Christine soon heads back after the conference under escort, also sending Inhye and Bora back along the way despite they not really wanting the offer.
"Just a question" I then asked Chan. "Yeah? Fire away." He says. "How did you know Jen?" I asked him. "The guys and I were eating some salad at the mart one morning. Jen passed by and treat us a meal here." He says with a smile
"Ah, Okay." I say. "Any schedule for you today?" I asked him and he shook his head. "So your helping out here." I ask.
"To look for Jen yes" He nods his head. "Cool." I say. "Who else in your group knows Jen, just curious?" He then asked me
"Too many." I say. "But, Duyen, Yurina, Bonnie, Gina, Jiali, Alicie, Myself, Zeyar, Nicole, Stella, Minah, about everybody in my group knows her." I continued.
"Guess Jen is a very popular figure." He says as he then offers sending me back to the dorms. "You sure about that?" I asked him
He nods. We talked a little on the way. "I don't know the other two, I guess Jen took us there before their opening hours." He shyly scratches his head when I asked him about Inhye and Bora.
"i see." i say. "And does your group have any schedules the next day or two?" He then asks me
"I believe most of us are working on a project." I say. "Same here. I was thinking if one of the days, we all can help out looking for Jen." he sighs with a smile saying cheerfully.
'Why am I getting the impression that he likes Jennifer?' I think to myself looking at his expressions
"Only if we could but sadly companies have most control." i say. "Besides I'm sure Big Hit will be looking out for her." I added on. "True." he says.
-A Few Days Later-
We happened to have the day off so we all are at a small eatery. "No news of Jen. Nothing bad will happen to her right?" Zeyar asks me quietly as we eat
"I hope nothing bad has happened." i say. We were done with our meal a while after when we bumped into Stray Kids peeping behind a wall, having a "what to do" look on each other's faces.
"Are you all okay?" i ask them. "Shhhhh! We may have found Jen!" Felix silently tells us
"Where?" i ask. "And have you told anyone?" i ask. Hyunjin points to us the opposite street where a family of 9 at an eatery, Jen with the mask down is talking to them
"We are thinking of what to do, calling the police or just grabbing Jen back to the hospital ourselves or call Jungkook" Chan says still monitoring the situation
I just end up walking up to the house and knocking on the door. A tall staff approaches me, he looks very friendly.
"Good afternoon and welcome to Papa Tteok. How may I help you?" He asks me with a smile
"My idiot friends over there saw someone in here that they know but they aren't quiet to sure if its really her or not." i say.
"Oh idiot friends." He giggles a little for a bit softly. "Sorry cause I never hear people describing people like this." He stops a while apologising
"I'm unique" I smile. "May I know how she look like? This girl they are looking for?" He then asks me
I pull up a picture of Jen and show him. "I think I may have what you're looking for. No wonder I find it weird for a pretty petite girl like her in a group of huge bulky Americans. She's at Table 10 with them." The staff gasped silently telling me
"Am I allowed in or is there an age limit?" i ask. "You're allowed in, but the group shes with are a mix of American cops and FBI. They have no guns but be careful." He tells me
"I'll wait out here then." I tell him, He looks at me confused. "I was in a school shooting back in 2016 in my home country, I don't like guns." I say. "Understandable" He tells me.
I waited for a little while more before I saw Jen walking out with two girls. "Sorry Jen you have to help us like this." One of them almost about her height apologised.
"You're guest in this country, I'm glad to help Alicia." Jen smiles to the girl
"Jen Can I please talk to you?" i ask her, "alone." i add on. "A second." She answers before telling the staff to show the girls the way to the toilet
The staff kindly did so, escorting the girls, leaving Jen and I alone
"Are you okay?" i ask. She nods her head. I touched her forehead and she's still having a fever. "The fever and headaches been on and off these past couple, it just goes up and down" Jen softly says
"You need to see a doctor." i say. "Was going to after this-I'm getting a little dizzy again" She was about to say something when a headache suddenly hit her
"I'm taking you now." I say texting Chan asking if he can drive. Chan texts back saying that he can drive but his manager is at the back alley with a car.
I take her to the car. "Do you know where's the hospital you've landed up in previously?" I tried asking Jen so she can stay awake. "It was near…Big Hit…2 blocks behind it" Jen describes rubbing her forehead
The manager takes us there. The hospital immediately took Jen while Chan, myself and the manager are getting the hospital to contact Jungkook.
Soon, I got a phone call from Jungkook. I answer it,
"Hello-"
"Which hospital?" He asks. "The same one she's in before she disappeared." I tell him. The call then ends. "Have you texted the others?" I heard Chan's manager asking him.
"I have did so. I've gotten WooJin and MinHo sending the younger ones back first." Chan tells him
"Good." The manager says. "Jen's brother is coming over." I tell them both. "Good." They both say.
Jungkook and the others did came over after that, Jungkook look like he never maintained himself for a week and some of the members dressed similarly to the hospital patient attire
"Are you okay?" I ask him. "Hows Junghwa? Is the doctor out yet?" He instead was bombing questions instead.
"Pardon him, he hasnt slept much and overworked himself since his sister's missing" RM softly tells us three
I am able to get Jungkook to sit down and slowly drink some water. "She was found at an eatery opposite where I was having lunch at with my team." I explained to them
"She told me that she is dizzy and has a fever." i say. "So most likely she hasn't recovered since that day." Jimin scratches his head and Jungkook just starts crying like a child.
"Dropping the subject." i say. Jungkook ends up crying for a good while until the doctor comes out
"How is she?" he asks through the sobs. "She has a heatstroke, I have put her on an IV drip. I will also order some scans to ensure nothing else is infected so she will be staying in the hospital for some time." The doctor explains to him
"Thank you for telling us," I say as we all nod, understanding. He tells us the ward number before leaving us to see Jen.
"Thank you three very much for finding Junghwa" Jungkook thank us still through the sobs. "Its okay," I say rubbing his back. We went into the ward and see Junghwa is somehow awake.
Junghwa's POV
Everything was a mess after the headache hit me in Papa Tteok. I woke up to find myself in the hospital when I heard the door open
I see its my brother. He look like he went on without anything for a long time which I do feel bad for. Maybe hadnt I let Alicia take me away, he wouldnt be in that shape now
"Are you okay?" he asks. I nodded my head. "I'm sorry for putting you all through this hell with me" I apologised.
He shakes his head. "You not mad at me?" I asked him. "I'm not mad just worried." He says. "You lost so much weight. Have you eaten anything?" He asks me
"Just some soup in the morning." I answered remembering a little of what I had
"Okay." He says. "The others are getting some food. Stay awake." He tells me and I just nodded my head agreeing to wait for everybody else to bring some food in.
