十九 (19)

                                    

                                          
"Ugh, where could they be?" Suga complains as he wander inside the forest. "Tree, another tree, more trees! I can't find them if all I can see are trees!" Suga sighed out of frustration.
                          
"Jin! J-Hope! Jimin! Where are you!?" The pale-skinned guy shouted worriedly. "Anyone!?" He continued.
                          
Five hours had past of wandering through the forest and Suga was beginning to get tired. But he couldn't possibly give up now, could he? The pale decided to lay down in a big tree and he'll just continue to search for them after he got a good rest.
                          
But, when he leaned down on the big tree, he seemed to had pushed a button that was hidden on the big tree. The bushes began to move, giving a way to an abandoned-looking house.
                          
Suga forgot about resting, he wasted no time and ran in front of the said house. When he thought about opening the door, he figured out that it was locked. That's why, he searched for a big and sturdy rock to forcefully bang the door. It created a loud noise wuth each bang but Suga didn't care, he was curious on why this abandoned looking house was here in the middle of the forest. Moreover, he could hear faint voices inside, and that thing made the pale guy to be more determined to open the damn door.
                          
At last, the door bursted open and Suga quickly went inside. He looked around and heard a faint clank of a chain. Suga folllowed the sound and stopped by a door, unlocked this time. He wasted no time and bursted in.
                          
He couldn't believe what is inside the room. It was like a torture chamber. A torture chair, a table full of dangerous weapons, and a small prison cell that could fit three people.
                          
Speaking of three people, he gasped when he saw who's inside the said prison cell. Out of concern, he shouted:
                          
"Jin! Jimin! J-Hope!"
                          
The trio inside the cage looked at him. The oldest gave the pale-skinned guy a faint smile before passing out on the cold, cemented floor.
                          
"Hyung!/Jin!" Jimin, Suga and J-Hope, both cried in unison.
                          
Worried for the oldest, Suga immediately searched for the key on the table. Unfortunately, he can't find any.
                          
"What the- How can I open this freaking cage!?" He exclaimed. Until he saw the padlock that has is a lock that can be opened by a 4-digit code. "Numbers? What would be the answer to this?" Suga asked himself.
                          
"Suga-hyung, I think it has something to do with Jungkook himself." Jimin told him.
                          
"You mean, like it has something about his self?" The short guy nodded as an answer.
                          
"Try Jungkook's birthday and the two numbers in the end of his birthyear." J-Hope suggested.
                          
Suga nodded and tried "9197" (A/N: 9 for September, 1 for the day, and 97 is from his birthyear; 1997)
                          
"Nothing happened."
                          
"How about combining his and princess Tzuyu's birthyear?" Jimin suggested.
                          
Suga, again, nodded at the suggestion and tried "9997". The lock gave a "click!" sound and began to open.
                          
"It works!"
                          
"You're a genius, Jimin!"
                          
Yoongi removed the lock and hurried to the fallen Jin and his other two members.
                          
"Let's go. We need to bring back Jin for a medical treatment. Hurry!" Suga told his other members as they help him supported Jin so he can stand up.
                          
Time Skip...
                          
"RM!" Called Suga to their leader.
                          
"Suga? Jimin! J-Hope! Jin! You're all safe!" Namjoon noticed that Jin is passed out. He quickly run towards their direction and picked up the oldest. "What happened to him?"
                          
"We don't know, leader-nim. But he just passed out after Suga had found us." Explained J-Hope. "We have to give him a medical treatment. Now."
                          
"Right. I'll just get my medical kit and supplies." Said the leader before going inside the group's shared home.
                          
"Let's take Jin to his bedroom." Ordered Yoongi as his two other members nodded.
                          
Time Skip...
                          
"You say that, Jin, also had been injected with a syringe with sedative?" The leader reassured his members and they nodded as an answer. "Its true then. I figured out why did he passed out."
                          
Namjoon began explaining. "I think Jin's body cannot take the effect of the drug too much unlike Jimin and J-Hope. That's why he passed out. The other reason probably is because he's just stressed. We should let him sleep and rest for now." The other three inside the oldest's room just nodded. "By the way, Suga, I need to talk to you. Come with me. Jimin and J-Hope, please look out for Jin and inform me if he has already woken up."
                          
Suga looked at Namjoon as if he was telling a good joke, but no, he could see a mix of guilt, regret, and sadness in his eyes. Out of the pale guy's curiousity, he shrugged his shoulders and began to follow the leader. They stopped once they were in front of Namjoon's room.
                          
"Come inside. And we'll talk after." Suga nodded at the leader.
                          
They sat on the edge of Namjoon's bed. But the leader couldn't look at Suga straightly.
                          
"What is it that you wanted to tell me?" Yoongi caught the attention of the zoning out Namjoon.
                          
"Oh, uhm..."
                          
"What? Cat got your tongue?"
                          
"No, it's just..." The leader deep-breathed and began to talk normally now. "I wanted to tell you, that, you're right..."
                          
"Huh?" Yoongi was surprised, not once did the leader told him that he's right. But, for what reason is he telling that Suga's right?
                          
"I... You're a better leader than I am, Suga... You're not afraid to search for our missing members, even if its very dangerous. While I... I didn't even do anything... I'm a pathetic leader, Suga. You deserve my position more than me or anyone else." Namjoon began to sob while his palms are pressed on his face.
                          
"As much as I'm flattered by your compliment, RM. I cannot take the position, not when you just gave me that for you have thought that you're pathetic. I wanted you to give me that position as an honour. In the future, of course." Suga stated to his leader as he rubbed his palm to calm Namjoon down.
                          
"But..."
                          
"No buts, RM. You deserve being a leader, than a ridiculous person like me."
                          
"You know what? I think, I just found my inheritor." Namjoon removed his palms that's covering his beautiful face, and began to smile at Suga, showing his dimples. "I'll now honour you as our new leader..."
                          
"What?"
                          
"You heard what I say, Suga."
                          
"No, I mean... you're going to give me the position of the leader that quickly? Aren't you deciding a little too fast, RM?" Shocked Suga told Namjoon.
                          
The soon-to-be-former leader just smiled again. "I understand... Though, if you wanted to replace me as the leader of this group, my room is always open for you." With that being said, for the first time, Suga smiled at the leader. 
                          
"Thank you, Kim Namjoon..." and he completely leave the room.
