Chapter 72: Travelling to the Earth's Core

            Namjoon stood there with his head locked onto the side of the room where his eyes met with pictures of Jimin and Jungkook together. All things he wanted with Jimin, Jungkook now had. Namjoon still loved his wife, but he alone had questions that he would recall when he knew Jimin was coming back. Regrets on marrying filled his mind but then that's when he found Jungkook's coat underneath the covers of Jimin's bed that day in the care unit. After that, he knew Jungkook and Jimin were going to be together. It was written in the stars long before and Namjoon only had to read them himself until their stars aligned to meet. That's when Jungkook and Jimin began to fall for each other.

              “Are you going home?” Jimin asked and that brought Namjoon back into reality. “Will you come back for me?”

              “Of course I will. I just need to drop you off first and then handle some business. So, let me take you as soon as you're done and I'll have to go home and change before I could run errands. I have so much on my plate.” Namjoon changed the conversation as he nervously scratched his head and walked out the room door. Leaving Jimin to feel a little bit set back at how they left things. Meanwhile, Namjoon then took his own phone out and looked up nearby jewelry stores. It was about time he realized that holding back to purchase those engagement rings for the couple, was bad on his part.

        “I should be able to let him go…” Namjoon whispered to himself and found the best jewelry store nearby. “Even if it hurts me… I have to let him go. I can't have him and that's final. I have my happy ending, so why can't he?” Namjoon whispered and kept his eyes locked onto the directions to the jewelry store. “Jungkook trusts me and gave me his credit card to buy Jimin his ring so they could be engaged. I don't want to let them down. Their engagement falls on the hands of mine. So, I'll give Jungkook the best ring for Jimin. One that shines as bright as any star.” The man insisted. Finally realizing that as soon as he buys the rings for the proposal, he would let Jimin go from his own heart for the very last time.

       Later on, Namjoon drove Jimin to the facility and dropped him off there just so he could reach home and get ready to let Jimin go as soon as he steps foot into the jewelry store. As Jimin walked into the facility, he set his off morning aside and thought about the task at hand. He had to look for evidence and it was no secret that it was all kept inside the elders office. Jimin just had to find a way inside but of course, he wasn't going to do this without getting Jungkook's thoughts on this alone.

       As Jimin walked in, he noticed astronomers locking their gazes at how the B248 moved again! But this time, it seemed further than where Taehyung and Jungkook were. Everyone was murmuring and throwing theories around, but not really finding a clue as to how it kept moving on it's own. Surely, gravity would have held it back in place, but this rocket moved at any given time. Thoughts of how it could move on it's own; were out of the question since no one really knew the B248’s controls were within the facility. Hiding within Chief Wu's office.

       “It moved again…?” Jimin whispered to himself and walked forward to see the red light of the earth's radar blink further away to the earth now. Not really becoming a threat as of right now. “Something's up… I get a bad feeling about this… Could he-” With thoughts accumulating inside Jimin's mind, he suddenly felt a hand drop over his shoulder and the feeling sent shivers down his own spine.

       “What's all the ruckus?” Asked Chief Wu as he turned his head down to face Jimin. “Dr. Park, Good morning. Did you sleep well? Did you talk to Jungkook yet?” Asked the elder into a nerve-racking smile that seemed to bother Jimin in every way. His eyes hidden behind glasses, his smile pulling from the corners of his lips, he had youth at every corner of his face but he was still an elder. An elder around his early fifties to be exact.
