6 Aami: Stay with BTS

I slowly blink my eyes, desperately, trying to assimilate what's happening around me. I look around.

The pristine clean room, visibly spotless, smells like hospital disinfectant. The creamy white walls, the snowy white bed and the grey curtains although pleasing to the eyes evoked fear in my heart. I realise I'm at the hospital. The last thing I remember is entering the elevator and then the accident occurred.

Then it hit me. BTS. The boys were with me in the elevator as well. I want to know if they were doing okay but more than that I wanted to know what caused the accident. If it was a murder attempt and whether it was directed at me.

I try to get up, but my legs hurt like hell.I had to escape somehow. If '' they'' were able to locate me then it meant my life was in jeopardy.

I somehow manage to reach the door. I try to open it but it's locked. After sometime I see, the door knob moving.

A young police officer, in a blue jacket, dark brown boots, black denim trousers and grey t-shirt enter the room. He looked handsome with his chiseled square jawline, oval face and wavy brown hair.

"What are you doing out of bed? Where were you going?", he asks looking at me questionably.

" I was getting kinda suffocated. I wanted to know if the others are okay. Ar..Ar...Are they okay?", I answer.

He seems to believe what I told him and responded,'' The boys are fine. They do have some minor injuries. I'm Seo Kang Woo from the Korean National Police Agency. I need to ask you some questions. I hope you will co-operate with me.''

I was trapped. I couldn't risk revealing my real identity. I didn't know if I could trust him with my secrets.

'' So, Aami right? , I did a background check on you and turns out the information you provided at the resturant is all fake. So... Aami, you better start talking or ", he stares at me like I was a criminal.

" or what? Look here officer. I have nothing to do with this accident. What am I? An idiot??!!! To enter an elevator when I know its going to fall?? Think logically officer, and as for my identity. I like to keep it that way."

"You better start TALKING miss or". Before he could finish the sentence, the door opened and to my surprise a tall handsome man stepped into the room. It was Mr Hariko, the president of Big Lit Entertainment.

I trusted Mr Hariko. I know he wanted answers as well. Afterall I'm not sure whether the elevator accident was really an accident or an attempted murder and if it was meant for me or for the boys.

" Officer. I trust this girl. She might have her reasons to hide her identity from the world. For now, I don't want the media to know that there was an eighth person in that elevator besides the boys."Mr Hariko said these words with a demanding and serious tone.

" But Sir, it's not that easy. I need to find out the real culprit. You very well know that this was NOT an accident but a well planned murder attempt. If it wasn't for the elevator cables coiling at the end, the boys would not be alive right now. She's our prime suspect,Sir."

Mr Hariko was silent for a moment. Then he turned his gaze towards me and asked, '' Aami, do you have anything to do with this??''

I didn't know what to answer him. But I never did anything wrong.

'' Sir, please trust me. I mean no harm."

''Officer, I trust the girl. I hope you consider what I told you earlier, seriously. She's tired and needs to rest. Please, excuse us."

The officer seemed to be displeased with Mr Hariko, but he obliged and left the room. Something tells me he's not going to let this go that easily.

My eyes started tearing up. I was not the type of person to openly display emotions but all of a sudden, I didn't know why but , I felt broken, lonely and craved for some human touch, some affection. Mr Hariko walked towards me. He sat beside the bed and  held my hands slowly patting them.

I burst out in tears saying, "I'm sorry Sir. I'm sorry but , please trust me. I mean no harm. I'll tell you everything if you want to."

Mr Hariko held my hands tight as though assuring me that everything was going to be alright.

"Aami, you don't have to tell me anything. I'm sure you have your reasons. Since you are involved in the case, there will be enquires from the police department, so I need you close to me. You can stay at the company's housing centre along with the boys. Yoongi and Jungkook told me how you took care of them. Namjoon especially asked me to thank you. Please consider my request."

Mr Hariko handed me his business card saying, "After you get discharged, give me a call. Take care. I'll see you soon." I simply nod along. I needed time to think over his request.

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get." Forrest Gump was right. Although I do wish, hope and pray I get my favourite flavour of chocolate.
