Yoongi's Pov

I enter the hospital like I am the Flash.

I run to a female nurse who is holding a clipboard and she gasps, looking at me.

"Ma'am, where's room 15?" I ask desperately.

"Oh, sir, you cannot enter that room right now," She said, looking at her clipboard, "I'll bring you to the waiting lounge."

She takes me arm and leads me down the hall, into a large open spaced room filled with metallic hospital chairs.

"Please wait here." She said before leaving the room.

I open my mouth to speak but realize I shouldn't argue with a trained professional, so instead I sit down on a chair.

I look around and notice the few people in the room sleeping. I guess they've been waiting for hours.

The room was nicely decorated. Pots of plants and vending machines on the corners, and a giant rack of magazines and newspaper in the center. Also a hospital TV on the ceiling, playing a movie.

I sigh as I sit down on the cold chair, I can't believe what was happening. I got a call from a nurse, asking if I was Taehyung's legal guardian. No, Im not, but I said I was. The nurse said a friend of Taehyung's brought him to the hospital, Tae was unconscious and wet. I didn't understand. What happened?

I heard sneakers squeaking on the tiles and I look up to see Jackson and a couple other friends of him race up to me.

Jackson is our neighbor.

"Oh my gosh, you're here," Jackson sighed as he pulled me into a hug, "I was so worried."

"What exactly happened?" I ask, pulling out of the hug.

"We found Tae at the beach," He said, pointing at his friends, "and he was unconscious. I didn't know what happened either."

"We called the ambulance and they came quickly. It was a horrifying moment to relive." The other guy said. "I'm Bambam, by the way."

"Jinyoung," The other guy waves his hand towards me.

"Do you think he'll be fine?" I ask.

"Of course." Jackson said with a bright smile, but I heard him whisper "I think."

So many thoughts circled my mind, I was losing it. What will happen to Tae? He's like my little brother, I can't lose him. No, snap out of it, Yoongi. You won't lose him. Taehyung's strong.

I sit back on the chair, my head resting on the head rest. Jackson and his friends left and offered to give me a ride but I took the offer down. I was too worried to leave, and I wanted to see Taehyung.

I wanted to.

I had to.

"Sir," Dr Yang welcomed me into room 15, the room Taehyung was staying at, "welcome."

"What happened, doctor?" I exclaim, noticing Tae asleep on the bed.

"There were water in his lungs but we managed to remove it before it affected him negatively. It seemed as though he had bruises all over his body too." Dr Yang said, writing on his clipboard.

"Do you know what happened?" I ask in fear.

"The water in his body seemed to be from the beach down town, and the bruises on him are from punches and, or rocks that hit him." Dr Yang said, taking a deep breath, "That guy Jackson explained everything that happened when he saw Mr Kim."

I nod.

"Are you staying for the night, Mr Min?" He asks.

"Taehyung has to stay?" I lose my smile.

"Unfortunately, yes," Dr Yang said, "but it's for the best. Will you be keeping an eye on him or will I get a nurse to do that?"

"I'll do it, I'll just call my cousin at home to inform him." I said, picking up my phone from my pocket.

"Alright then, I'll leave you alone." He said before exiting the room.

My phone rang and rang and rang until Jungkook finally picked up.

"Hyung!" He whined, "What the heck?! I kept asking what's going on but you completely ignored me!" He yells.

"Sorry," I sighed.

"Now explain."

"Taehyung is in the hospital and—"

"SAY WHAT NOW?!" Jungkook yells into the phone, burning my eardrums.

"Lower it down." I groan, "Noisy brat."

"Hyung, which hospital are you at?!" He yells, "I'm coming!"

"No." I said, "You cannot. Stay at home. Make dinner later and just watch a movie."

"No hyung! I need to know what happened to Tae!" He yells like a child.

"Why are you so desperate?! I thought you disliked him." I said.

"It's because... I like him."

"EXCUSE ME?!" I basically shout, covering a hand over my mouth, checking on Tae if he woke up from my noise.

"What'd you say?" I whisper-shouted into the phone.

"So what?! I'm not straight, yeah, got a problem?!" Jungkook said, defense at max level.

"No- no. It's completely fine. It's just unexpected. Especially from you. You're straighter than a pole anyway." I joke.

"It's not the time for jokes. Now where are you?!" He asks.

"Fine. I'm at the hospital by the gas station, down the fourth street at the park." I said. "Long drive, so ask Namjoon to drive you here."

"Namjoon. Got it." I hear Jungkook said before shuffling can be heard.

"Hey Yoongi." Jimin's voice greeted me.

"Jimin?" I ask. "I forgot you're there."

"Wow, rude," He sighs, "can I come with Jungkook?"

"Whatever. Ask your parents."

"Okay! Thanks!" Jimin giggled before ending the call.

I put my phone down on the table before sitting on the couch beside Taehyung's bed.

Was I hallucinating? Did Jungkook actually mean what he said? Does he actually like Taehyung? But doesn't he like that Irene girl? Was this an act to just go here at the hospital and bother me? What is happening today?!
