(Chapter 87)
The weight of wings

~*~
Author POV

The members watched as Jimin slept, they were waiting for him to wake up, the surgery having been complete. Jimin's wings were more salvagable than the doctors had originally anticipated.

All of his secondary feathers had been removed, their damage being irreversible. However some of Jimin's primary feathers were saved, but most of them were removed. The ones that had been saved were the ones closest to Jimin's back, the places he couldn't reach easily when applying the dye.

The feathers most damaged had been the ones that Jimin could reach easily to apply dye too. They had the largest layer of dye on them, therefore resulting in more damage.

His scapular feathers had been saved as well, they were the feathers that were closest to Jimin's back he couldn't reach them very well.

Yoongi shuddered as he looked upon the damage he had witnessed to something so precious to their society. Once he had considered dyeing one of his wings so that he could have matching colour wings. He had been thinking to dye his golden wing, he preferred the colour of his silver grey wing. It allowed him to blend in more, stood out less.

But now seeing the damage and pain it had caused Jimin he was glad he hadn't. To think Jimin had been applying his wing dye since he was 16, when the last molt happens. To revealed the secondary gender and define how society would see you for the rest of your life. Now 21, life hadn't been good for Jimin's wings, society hadn't been good to him in general.

Jungkook sat on Jimin's other side, stroking the older's hair. He twirled it around his fingers, occasionally reaching down to press kisses to Jimin's forehead, brow or hairline.

The doctor had told them how important this was to Jimin's recovery. Having your wings damaged so much was traumatising and he would need all the support to help him recover that they could muster.

The Alphas who had originally been hesitant to trust Jimin after the reveal had now forgotten the doubts they had concocted. They had seen Jimin as he was and longed to have him smile as brightly as he did when they built blanket forts, played games together. They wanted to see him smile a genuine and bright smile again.

So they had thrown themselves into finding Kintun Lee. They had finally found the footage of him in the hospital, however his face was covered and he kept his head down so the cameras were unable to catch a glimpse of his face. He was smart they would give him that. But unfortunately for Kintun not smart enough, they could match up his wing colour from the security footage to other photos of him.
