Three days later
bangtan*
Jin is still hospitalized, as his condition worsens. He always muttered in his sleep. He always talked about Saerin, and it made his younger siblings fret about Jin's current condition.
*
"Hyung, how is this, what should we do? jin-hyung's situation is getting worse, and Saerin is still nowhere to be found. We can't do anything hyung" said Jungkook, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Besides, there are only Yoon, Namjoon, Jimin, and Taehyung, who are at home. While Hoseok was accompanying Jin at the hospital. All who were there could not answer Jungkook's question, they all fell silent with their own thoughts. Jungkook let out a long sigh, he was also confused by what he had to do to make things improve as they were.

On the other hand, at night.
Saerin was sitting on a chair wearing a jacket that enveloped his body from the cold night wind. He looked back at the stars in the sky alone. Accompanied by a glass of warm chocolate that he made before going to the back garden at Kai's house.
While enjoying his solitude, suddenly...
doorr...
Someone shouted beside Saerin's ear.
"Aaaaaaa.... KAI!!" scream Saerin.
"Hahaha, mianhae Saerin" said the laughing Kai.
"Can't you slow down a little. I'm going to be shocked" said the annoyed Saerin as his eyes followed Kai's body walking towards the chair next to him.
"Cap, mian. Why are you alone here anyway? I was looking for you from earlier, it turns out you were in the back" Kai said.
"I want to enjoy the night with the stars in the sky right now. It feels so peaceful, I hope I will always be able to enjoy this kind of atmosphere" said Saerin who smiled looking up at the sky with a cup of warm chocolate that he held.
"And I hope you'll always be here, by my side. You are my happiness Saerin. You brought me happiness. I already consider you like my own sister. That's why I don't want you to be away from me, Saerin" Kai's inner gaze on Saerin.
"Isn't that Kai?" said Saerin who then turned to Kai.
"Hm.. mwo??" asked Kai who was surprised and confused by Saerin's words.
"I'm saying it's not nice to have a family that loves us so much, even if it's not because of wealth. Today, many people always attach more importance to their property than their own family. What does it mean for them to be the most important? it's not a family where all the members love each other" Saerin said, staring at Kai.
"Nee, you're right. People are always greedy with the possessions they have to the point of not being concerned about their families" Kai said.
"Kai" call Saerin.
"Nee, waeyo?" said Kai.
"I want to go home. Can you take me home tomorrow?" saerin said with hope.
"Mm. i-it's." said Kai nervously.
"I've been here a long time. And my oppa must be very worried about me. I don't know how they are right now, so please take me back to my house, Kai. You can't keep me here much longer" Saerin said.
"How's this? I was just hoping that Saerin would always be here with me forever. But his words were also correct, I shouldn't have kept him here. She also had a life of her own with her family" inner Kai with a hint of disappointment.
"Kai! why are you daydreaming again?" saerin. Reach Kai awakens from his daydream.
"But Saerin.." Kai hung up his words.
"But why??" saerin said raising one of his eyebrows.
"But I don't want you to walk away from me, I still want to be with you. I don't want to be away from you" said Kai who looked at Saerin in a clear tone.
"Kai? what's wrong with you?" saerin said who was still confused.
"Saerin, I already consider you like my own sister. If you come back, I'll be alone again. I'm glad you came to this house, and it's always with me. I can't let you go" said Kai who was starting to get sad.
"Yes.."
"It's Saerina, aniya! I don't want you to leave. Please stay here with me" Kai said.
"Yes.."
"Aniya Saerin!!" yell Kai.
"YES!! listen to me first" Saerin said. Kai immediately fell silent.
"I know you don't want me to leave. And vice versa. But I feel sorry for my oppa, they must be very, very worried about me right now. They must be thinking of me. I don't want things that I don't want to happen. What if one of them gets sick because of me. I beg Kai" said Saerin.
"Saerin. mianhae. for saying that to you. It's not my intention to keep you here, but it's just that I don't want to be left alone anymore" Kai said, bowing his head.
"Hey, haven't you graduated yet?" saerin.
"Nee" exclaimed Kai who was still bowed.
"What if you move to Seoul, with me. And continue your education there. And of course, you can buy a house close to my house. How's it?" saerin.
Hearing Saerin's words, Kai so raised his head to look at Saerin.
"really?" kai said unsure.
"Mm.maybe. Did I speak wrong?" saerin.
"Eve. It's just, I'm not too sure what you're saying" Kai said.
"But maybe, that's good too" he continued later.
"Mwo?! so you agree?" saerin asked in disbelief.
"Nee!" exclaim Kai.
"I don't think you're gonna believe it. I'm just talking, I'm not so sure if you're going to move. But what about this house? and aunt Lee?" saerin.
"Nee. But let me go with you" said Kai.
"But what about the house?" saerin.
"Calm down, don't think about it. Importantly, I will go to Seoul with you tomorrow" said the smiling Kai
"Nee!" saerin shouted with a smile. "What about Aunt Lee?" continued.
"I'll tell him to go home" Kai said casually.
"Mwo? then you'll stay alone?" saerin.
"Nee, as long as you stay with me" said the smiling Kai.
"Owh, arrasseo" said Saerin nodding softly.
"Yes, let's go in. It's late" said Kai.
"Nee" cried Saerin who got up from the chair, as well as Kai. The two of them went in, which was preceded by Saerin heading to the kitchen, to wash his drinking glass earlier. Kai continued his steps towards the stairs. Suddenly, there was the sound of a bell from the front. Kai stopped and looked forward when he heard his voice.
"Who comes nights like this?" mumbling Kai. He immediately walked to the front door, and Kai opened it. Two policemen were waiting.
"Is this really your home?" the police said.
"Nee, why sir?" said Kai.
"Is there a 14-year-old girl here named Kim Saerin?" ask the cop.
"Nee, why are you looking for her?" said Kai.
"Have you kidnapped her?" the police said.
"Kidnap? I didn't kidnap her sir, where I might have done something like that" Kai said.
"Mian, we're on duty, his family reported this incident to the police, that a girl named Saerin was being kidnapped. There are some police from Seoul who are looking for this girl in Busan" the police said.
"We better talk about this inside, sir. Come in" said Kai. The two policemen came in, and sat on the living room couch.
"So how's sir?" kai asked, as they sat down.
"He is a police officer from Seoul" the policeman said, pointing to the policeman next to him. "They were looking for Kim Saerin's sister, in various cities around Seoul. Saerin is reportedly being kidnapped by someone, and his oppa informed them of the kidnapping a few days ago. Is it true that Saerin's sister is here?" call the cop.
"Nee, he's here. I met him on the street, he also once said that he was being kidnapped by someone" Kai said.
"Then we want to get Saerin home" the second police officer said.
"What now, sir?" said Kai.
"Nee, we need to get this girl back to her family. Because I promised to bring this girl back home, if I'd found her" said the second police officer.
"Nee, can you pick her up tomorrow? he hasn't packed his things" Kai said.
"City, arrasseo. I'll be back to pick him up in the morning" the policeman said.
"Nee, khamsambnida" said Kai.
"We left first" said the policeman as he moved from his seat.
Kai nodded and escorted the two policemen to the front door. And then Kai came back in. As he wanted to go up the stairs, he passed Saerin who was going up the stairs as well.
"Saerin!" call Kai, when Saerin wants to get ahead of him.
"Nee Kai's. Wae?" saerin.
"Have you prepared your things?" ask Kai.
"No, but now I'm also going to pack it up" Saerin said.
"Just go on, go on. Tomorrow, get up early. Get ready to go" said Kai.
"Nee, it looks like you're so excited about Kai. What's up?" ask Saerin.
"Nee!" saerin shouted with a smile. Saerin stepped up the stairs to his room.
Saerin had already entered his room, he had packed his things and was getting ready to leave tomorrow.
Meanwhile, next to her room was Kai's room.
Kai is also preparing his belongings and occasionally checking his laptop. He will also leave tomorrow. After everything was done, Kai immediately threw himself into bed and slept.
skippers
At 7am, Kai and Saerin were getting ready for his departure. And Kai had already told all these things to Aunt Lee. Kai also allows Aunt Lee to return to her hometown.
For the last time, Aunt Lee prepares breakfast for Kai and Saerin, before going their separate ways.
Finished preparing breakfast, aunt Lee immediately called the two of them down. And a few minutes later, the two of them came down in well-groomed clothes indicating they were ready to leave.
Kai and Saerin ate their breakfast.
skippers
Ting. keg..
The sound of the house bell ringing. Aunt Lee immediately opened the door and let the two policemen in and sat on the living room couch, waiting for Kai and Saerin.
Saerin was ready to leave, he went down with his suitcase, as well as Kai. Before that, Saerin helped Aunt Lee clean up her things. And Saerin found a taxi for Aunt Lee first. They both say goodbye and after that Saerin gets into Kai's car.
Little by little they began to drive and leave the luxurious house. It's led by a police car in the front and Kai's car in the back.
skippers
They have entered the city of Seoul. And still driving towards Saerin's house.
The policeman stopped his car in front of a house. And Kai stopped the car too. Saerin was so happy to be back home. He misses his oppa very much. The two policemen walked ahead first. Then one of the policemen knocked on the door. That door was soon open. Yoongi looked in surprise at the two policemen in front of him.
"What's up, sir?" ask Yoongi.
The two policemen just smiled at Yoon-gi, and that made him even more confused. Before long there was a scream from behind the policeman who was so familiar in Yoongi's ears.
"Opa!!" saerin shouted as he ran towards Yoongi.
"Saerin!!?" yongi said between wonder and joy. Saerin immediately hugged Yoon-gi tightly, and Yoon-gi also returned Saerin's embrace. She misses her little girl who was kidnapped for 14 days.
"Saerin, you're okay, right? nobody got hurt, right? you're healthy, right? no one's sick?" said Yoongi who took off his embrace and held Saerin's face while flipping his sister's body.
"Nee, frenchy!" saerin said with a smile. Now that Yoongi's tears are shed because she is moved and happy, Saerin has returned home. He hugged Saerin. Then Namjoon and Hoseok walked to the front door, where they heard a scream. Upon reaching the front, Namjoon and Hoseok were shocked by what they saw.
"Saerin!?" exclaimed the two of them loudly, making Saerin turn to the two of them. Namjoon and Hoseok immediately approached Saerin who was still being held by Yoongi. Seeing this, Saerin immediately took off his arms and hugged Namjoon and Hoseok together. Making those who see the heartwarming events become moved and happy. Kai who saw it outside the door was also slightly moved, he smiled seeing the affection between the brothers in front of his eyes.
Namjoon and Hoseok let go of their embrace and looked at Saerin happily.
"Saerin, you're okay, right? you're not hurt, are you?" ask Hoseok.
"You're healthy, aren't you? no one's sick?" ask Namjoon too.
"Nee, oppa. Gwenchan. I'm so happy to be back" Saerin said with a big smile.
"Okay sir, we're leaving. Congratulations on your sister's return. I'm also happy to see it" one of the policemen said with a smile.
"Nee, khamsambnida" Namjoon said.
"We leave. Good afternoon" said the policeman, and passed away.
While Kai was still quietly glued to where he stood. Saerin turned towards Kai who was still outside the door. Saerin approached Kai and pulled his hand inside.
"Who is Saerin?" asked Yoon-gi who was staring at Kai sharply, as if suspicious of Kai.
"He Huenangkai, he met me when I ran away from the house that held me. He took care of me when I was sick. One more thing, mianhae was worried about you guys, I actually ran away from the guy who kidnapped me, over a week ago. Mian because I didn't go home right away. Mianhae" said Saerin who then lowered his head.
"Ahh. Gwenchana Saerin-ah, hello Kai, I am Hoseok oppanya Saerin" Hoseok said kindly.
"I'm Namjoon, and this is Yoon-gi" said Namjoon who introduced Yoon-gi.
"Anyeonghaseyo Huenangkung ibnida" said Kai who bowed softly.
"It's good to know you, gomawo, for keeping Saerin for us. We are very happy that Saerin is back" Namjoon said.
"Nee, hyung gwenchana. Saerin I've taken it like my own sister" said Kai.
"Then, kajja comes in. And you rest first. You must have been very tired on the road" said Hoseok. Saerin pulls his suitcase and is followed by Kai in the back. Saerin laid his body on the living room sofa, as well as Kai.
"In the meantime, you stay here first" Saerin said. Looks like Kai is a little nervous.
"Nee, but I can't linger. I also have to look at the house I bought" Kai said.
"You bought it? so fast!" saerin said rounding his eyes.
"Nee, using an online site, makes it faster than having to search directly. Maybe the house is not far from this location. That's why I want to see it immediately, and immediately clean up my things" said Kai.
"Oowh. okay!" exciting Saerin. He leaned his head back on the sofa. Feeling something strange from the state of his house, Saerin immediately remembered something, and he suddenly woke up from his trunk, then looked around the room.
"Let's wait a minute here, Nee. I'll be gone for a while" Saerin said.
"Nee" said Kai who was fiddling with his phone.
Saerin immediately got up and walked towards the kitchen, where Hoseok was cooking. Saerin approached him.
"Hoseok oppa!" call him from behind. Hearing his name being called, Hoseok immediately looked back.
"Nee, saerin's wayyo?" Hoseok.
"Whither other place? why does it seem like this house is deserted. And I only saw the three of you. Where's Jungkook oppa, Tae oppa, Jimin oppa. And.. Oppa genie?" ask Saerin.
Hearing that, Hoseok remembered the condition of Jin who was still hospitalized. And he hasn't told Saerin either. Hoseok turned off the stove and put the spatula he had just held. Then I walked over to Saerin.
"Saerinu. I have not said this to you" said Hoseok, who looked at Saerin.
"Say what oppa?" ask Saerin.
"Jin Hyung is being treated in the hospital. Jimin, Taehyung and Jungkook were there, accompanying Jin hyung" Hoseok explained.
"Mwos!! getting sick? this must be because I left. I have to see Jin oppa" said Saerin who left.
"Saerin!!" hoseok shouted as he watched Saerin pass away.
Saerin immediately looks for Yoongi above. He wants his oppa to drive him to the hospital to meet with Jin.
"Yoongi oppa!!" saerin yelled as he ran into Yoon's room. He knocked on the door of Yoon's room, and the door was opened.
"Waeyo Saerin-ah" said the astonished Yoon-gi who saw the panicked Saerin.
"Oppa, you have to take me to the hospital. I want to meet Jin oppa. Hoseok oppa said that Jin oppa was sick. Kajja.we go there.." whine Saerin who tugged at Yoongi's arm.
"Nee, nee. Calm down, Saerin, calm down. I need to get the car keys first. For a moment" said Yoongi, he went back in and took the car keys. Since Saerin was impatient, after Yoongi came out, he immediately pulled her to the point that she forgot to close the door of her room. Saerin pulls Yoon's arm, until she is dragged away by Saerin.
"Saerin, slow down. You are not very polite" said Yoongi annoyed, while still being dragged by Saerin.
"All right, I'll let go. Go to oppa's car. I will wait for you" said Saerin who paused for a moment and took off his grasp. After which, Saerin immediately ran out. Hoseok suddenly comes to Yoongi.
"Young!" yells.
"You here, what did you tell him? look at him so panicked right now" said the still-exasperated Yoongi.
"Mian hyung's. I'm just saying Jin hyung was hospitalized, and the others were there accompanying Jin hyung" Hoseok said.
"Well, I have to get there. Saerin must have been waiting" said Yoongi who then passed away.
Yoon-gi walks into the garage, where Saerin is waiting at the front door. Yoon-gi opens the car door and the two of them enter. And he immediately stuck the gas, because Saerin was very noisy.
Until the hospital parking lot, Saerin immediately removed his seatbelt and got out of the car. Saerin ran into the hospital. And asked Jin's room to his sister.
"Oh, Kim Seokjin is in VIP room no. 7" the nurse said as she pointed out the direction of the road.
"Thamsambnida!" saerin said, he hurried out of the room. While Yoon-gi gets overwhelmed chasing Saerin from behind. Saerin got to the front of the room, he knocked first. Then open the door slowly. When Saerin came in, everyone was a little stunned to see that Saerin was the one who entered.
"Oppa" said Saerin slowly. Jimin and Taehyung are shocked to see Saerin, until they stand together from the sofa of the room. And Jungkook who was sitting next to Jin, also turned his head in shock.
"Saerin!?" said the three of them compactly. Jimin and Taehyung walked over to Saerin.
"Saerin, is this really you?" tanya Taehyung is holding Saerin's shoulder.
"Nee" said Saerin who was smiling sweetly. Taehyung immediately hugged Saerin, followed by Jimin.
"Saerin. huh. hah. you are, why suddenly run. I'm tired of chasing you" said Yoongi who came in with gasping breaths. Saerin, who heard that, immediately took off his embrace and looked at Yoon-gi.
"I didn't tell you to come after me, did I?" saerin.
"You are!" yongi said annoyedly. Saerin turned towards the hospital bed, and approached her. Next to him was Jungkook who sat down, watching Saerin approaching. Their eyes looked at each other, and now the big smile on Jungkook's face began to expand.
"Saerin!" said Jungkook who then hugged Saerin tightly. And Saerin returned the hug.
"Thankfully you're okay" Jungkook said in Saerin's arms.
As he was hugged, Saerin turned to the bed where his oldest oppa was lying with his eyes closed. Saerin releases Jungkook's embrace, and looks at Jin. Saerin's hand slowly approached Jin's, and Saerin clasped his cold hand tightly.
"Oppa.." said Saerin lirih.
