Chapter-16

Jin gasped. This person was a Socrates.

..."Do you know what they do with Socrates'?"...

..."Hahaha I heard they put something inside their brains called electrodes and do some calculations by sending impulses to use their intellects."...

The boy walked out of the room in the same clumsy way he entered. Jin wondered if he should call the guy back.

"Wait. I'll be back." Jin started while following the guy outside.

"I'm coming too." Jungkook hurriedly followed Jin.

Jin and Jungkook quietly followed the guy. Jungkook thought of asking Jin about does he think that the guy is a Socrates or not. He shared an eye contact with the older. Jin is having the exact thought Jungkook is having.

The guy walked clumsily. His body moved in a weird way. Why are Jin and Jungkook following him in the first place? Jungkook wondered. Curiosity. Curiosity is such a thing which makes human force themselves even take risks despite knowing it's dangerous. Curiosity is what lead to great discoveries and inventions. Curiosity is a good thing. But sometimes, it's the worst thing that could happen to you. Curiosity can Kill.

Jin and Jungkook reached a hallway following the tall, seemingly mentally unstable guy who entered into Jungkook's apartment without permission.

As soon as they reached the hall they spotted many other people like that guy standing in a scattered manner. By one look the duo could tell all of them had electrodes inside their heads. Some of them were slightly trembling. This is not due to cold or fear. This was probably something they can't control. Some of their pupils dilated. They were talking in low voice among themselves. Some of them were mumbling things inaudibly.

Suddenly Someone from a corner came in from of Jin and asked him, "Did you bring it?"

Jin doesn't know what he's supposed to bring.

"No, I didn't." He said instead of asking what he was supposed to bring.

"Why didn't you? If you don't bring it, it won't work. The measurements of the ingredients need to be equal. The quality and ability of an explosive depends on it's ingredients. Oxygen based ingredient-" the person moved to a side talking to himself.

Jungkook carefully let out a breath he didn't knew he was holding in. He could've ended up like these people. He purposely gave wrong answers to some questions in the intelligence test. Thank god he did. Well the guy amongst the kidnappers who said being a soldier is better than being a Socrates.....he was right.

Someone touched Jin's shoulder lightly. He turned back to see it was a tall lean guy. He smiled at Jin showing off his dimples.

"Who are you two? You two aren't Socrates, what are you two doing here?" he asked.

"Iam Jungkook. And this is Jin hyung. We actually don't know what we are doing here?" Jungkook answered.

"Actually none of us know what we are doing. Our birth is a huge mystery."

Jungkook had answered simply but this guy took it as a philosophy quote.

"My name is Namjoon." he smiled again.

"I take care of these Socrates kids." he pointed at the people with electrodes inside their heads.

"Oh um...Iam a cook, his cook to be exact." Jin said touching Jungkook's elbow.

"Yeah, And Iam a player."

"You are a WHAT?" Namjoon said a bit too loudly but none of the Socrates seemed to bother.

"A player?" Jungkook tried to laugh awkwardly.

"You mean, a player of that game?" Namjoon whispered.

Jungkook doesn't what he meant by "that" but he just said, "yes."
