Chapter Sixteen: Too Late To Regret

If mysterious footprints are found, follow

My shadows are cornered

What is hidden behind the light?

Only you, who I cannot meet, knows my answer

Before it breaks off

I wanna know everything

_Don't Leave Me

"What did your Dad say?" Jin hyung asked, sitting beside me on the floor of my bedroom.

"He's ashamed of me." I snickered as a tear left my eye. I took a long sigh, before resting my head at the footboard of my bed.

"Look I understand it's hard Jungkookie, but it will pass. Everyone is in shock right now cause it was totally unexpected. If circumstances were different, your parents and pdnim might had opposite reaction. After all they love you and all they want is your happiness."

Jin hyung wiped my tears away as I looked at him in despair.

"Hyung my heart feels like it's tearing apart. My soul is suffocating inside my body. It's hurting like hell." I cried out as I chugged down the last bottle of Soju.

Jin hyung hugged me right way, rubbing my back, trying to soothe me. But the pain was getting worse. Regret and guilt was continuously haunting my brain.

'Why did I break up with him? Why did I hurt him? Why did I say those words to him?'

His pleading eyes, I couldn't get over them. I broke him. I broke him in thousand pieces ruthlessly.

"Is he back home?" I asked shamelessly, even though I didn't have any right left to worry about him.

"Not yet. We all have been calling him for hours but his cell phone is unreachable. Hoseok, Yoongi and Namjoon went out to look for him." Jin hyung replied with a long a sigh.

'Why isn't he home yet? It's been whole day. Is he okay? Has Something happened to him? No! No!'

A pang of worry hit my chest, my heart clenched in my chest as my mind started imagining worst. I ran stumbling and tripping to my cell phone and with shaky hands I dialed his number.

Unfortunately, it was powered off. But I kept on dialing repeatedly and hastily.

"Pick Up the phone. Please. Please." I kept muttering while hearing the same *beep*, *beep* again and again.

"Stop it Jungkook-ah. You're drunk. His number is switched off. There's no use of calling him." Jin hyung snapped me out of it, as he shook me vigorously.

And I broke into tears. I cried, collapsing on the floor.

"Why did you break up, if you couldn't take it? You both should have talked it out. And you had our support with you. But you announced it out of no where.

And now you're regretting it." Jin hyung uttered as he pulled me up from the floor.

"I.. I.. I got scared of Bang Pdnim words. I thought it was the right decision for everyone's sake." I replied in sobs.

"Namjoon told you earlier that we'll take care of it later. You should've waited and endured it. You knew well that your trial will be harder than ordinary lovers."

"I'm not worthy of him. I have always hurted him even though he stood for our love in all situations. He's so courageous unlike me. I'm a coward. All I could do was fickling in hard situations."

I was crying in Jin Hyung arms, when suddenly Jimin Hyung rushed into my room. And before we could react, Jimin hyung put his phone in front of my eyes.

My eyes widened as I saw V hyung drunk, totally wasted from drinking. It looked like a bar or a club. And what was more shocking, it was a video call.

"Jun..gg.. Koo..kieee.." V hyung stuttered with a silliest grin, as he saw me on the screen.

"V hyung where are you? And whose cell phone you're calling from? Get out of there. Its dangerous hyung." I cried out in anxiousness.

"Yo..You hhhurt mmee.. Yyyou a..re baaad boyyy." he started crying like a baby, making me more afraid and concerned.

"Hyung where are you tell me? I'm coming." I asked getting up from the floor hastily.

But before he could say anything further, the call got disconnected.

"What the.." I nearly cursed, getting worried that if someone caught him drinking like this and he blabbered anything about our relationship, it would be end of everything.

Jimin hyung tried calling him again but phone was turned off, which was more nerve wrecking.

I quickly ran for my jacket, cap and mask and rushed out of my room.

"Where the hell are you going in this state Jungkook-ah?" Jin hyung yelled following me along with Jimin hyung.

"I need to find him before he gets into trouble." I replied while dashing out of our apartment.

"You're drunk Jungkook. You can't drive. We're coming too." Jimin Hyung said while following me to the car.

Jin hyung snatched the key out of my hand and went to the driver seat.

I jumped into the passenger seat and Jimin Hyung in the back.

"Jimin-ah call Namjoon and tell them to look for him in bars and clubs around the area." Jin hyung said as the car hit the road.

I kept fidgeting nervously, gritting my teeth in anticipation. All I could think was negative things. I just wanted to reach him as soon as possible.

"We've looked for him in almost every bar and club, where the hell he has gone." Yoongi hyung uttered exasperatedly while getting off from the car at the last club left.

"Last time, me, jungkookie and Taehyungie came to this club secretly. I've strong feelings that he's here." Jimin hyung said as we walked into the club.

We scattered in 3 groups and went into different directions. Jimin hyung was with me. As I kept looking with my clenched heart, I was only hit by disappointment. He wasn't there. There was no sign of him.

Unfortunately, other hyungs didn't find him either.

"Shhhall we look into the private rooms?" Jimin hyung whispered cautiously into my ear.

"What? Have you gone crazy hyung?" I nearly yelled giving him an intense glare.

"Jungkook-ah there was someone with him for sure. I know Taehyungie can't do anything absurd but I can't trust the other person. So lets check it." he retorted leaving me speechless.

We both went for the rooms, checking every room. To be honest, though I wanted to find him badly, I didn't want him to be in any room with anyone. My heart was trembling in chest. I could feel my hands getting sweaty and colder.

It was the last room and all I wanted was him not to be in there. But as we opened the door, my world collapsed. It felt like I was hit by a cannon. I couldn't believe my eyes.

V hyung was in the bed, naked with a girl. Not with anyone else but his childhood best friend, Miran.

As soon as Miran saw me and Jimin hyung, her eyes widened and she gasped like she was caught by us. Compared to V hyung who was unconscious, she was pretty sober. But my eyes were glued on someone else. The person I loved so much.

"Taehyungie.." Jimin hyung yelled while rushing to him.

But contrary to him I was frozen. I couldn't move, couldn't speak either. I was in huge shock. I couldn't believe the sight, I was witnessing.

Jimin hyung vigorously shook V hyung, ignoring that Miran cause he knew if anyone saw him here like this, he would be ruined. V hyung was drunk. As he merely opened his eyes looking around him, his eye widened and then his eyes met mine.

And I broke. I shattered into thousand pieces.

Tears started crawling down my cheeks, as I stumble back finally realising what just happened.

"It's.. It's not like that. I... I didn't do anything.. I.. I didn't.." V hyung started defending but I had no courage to listen to his reasoning.

I ran out of the room, crying like a crazy, rushing out of the club.

"Stop Jungkook. Listen to me. Please." I could hear V hyung from behind but I was so annoyed and furious.

I kept running to no where. I didn't know where I was going. I just wanted to run away. To escape the reality. Cause deep in my heart, I still wished that it wasn't true.

"JEON JUNGKOOKKKK" V hyung yelled my name at the top of his lungs, causing my feet to stop.

I reluctantly turned around to see him standing in the center of the road, breathless, panting for air.

It was when I realised we were standing in the center of the road. My eyes widened as I heared the horn of a truck. I turned my head to the side see a truck was coming in direction of V hyung.

"V hyungggg." I screamed while running towards him.
