"Don't say that if you really don't want to." Jimin avoids eye contact as he keeps on munching on his sandwich. "Do I sound like I'm joking or being forced? Believe me... I really love my job." You calmly replied as you smiled, making eye contact.

"If that's the case then, get well. I know you'll get better in a few weeks. In the meantime, we'll be double-super extra careful." He smiled back as he stands up. "Not just double. Triple. Always observe your surroundings and be alert at all times."

You finally say as he leaves, taking your trash with him. All you can do now was sleep.

A few weeks later

It has been a few weeks and your gunshot wound healed faster than you expected. Between those weeks, there wasn't even any sign of Taehyung.

You weren't mad at him. You couldn't be mad at him. You were just worried. Is he safe? How is he? Is he doing good? What happened to him during all these weeks?

What made you much worried was the breaking news last week. It says that he had a major weight loss. And yes, it might not be a big deal but what is he doing? Is he not eating well to get to that point?

Tomorrow was finally the day you would leave the hospital. Jisung was training to become a member of a KPOP group soon. Yet, he still idolizes BTS and Jimin so much. He'd move to homeschooling in a few days and you have to work.

These weeks have been unusual to you. You would always rest, see the hospital's gray walls, wake up and do the same thing again. But in all those days became fun because Jimin always had the time for you. He'd help you in simple things like to stand up or even lay down the bed. He would always find time visit you, sometimes with the other members. He even asked some help from Jin's just to be able to cook some meals for you. He was always there.

Eun Hae and Na Ri couldn't visit you as often as he could, though. They were assigned with another job, and those were to conceptualize BTS' looks for their upcoming comebacks and albums for 2019.

You waited for hours, reading, playing games on your phone, trying to compose some songs or even writing your own stories.. It was night time. Another eight hours of sleep and you'd be out of here, going back to your normal life.

"Sir, I'm officially reporting for duty." you saluted to your chief as you were now fully healed and ready for returning to your job. He saluted back. "Good job. You've done well. You may go back to where you normally stay as their guard. They're waiting by the front for you." You nodded, turning your back towards him. "Oh. And, take care Park."

You looked down and blinked, a smile forming on your lips. You walked away as you were about to return to where you left off. Eun Hae and Na Ri was by the entrance when you appeared.

"Noona, you're returning today?" Jungkook asks as you entered the room. He didn't spare a look as he was playing Piano Tiles on his phone. "Now you're calling me noona?" You were surprised, crossing your arms as you lifted an eyebrow. "Well, aren't you older than me?" he paused a bit, making eye contact this time. "Which question should I answer first?"

"Aish. You guys stop it. Jungkook, would you please shut it? I'm trying to take a nap." Yoongi responds with his eyes closed and his elbow resting on the couch. "Omo. I didn't know a gunshot can change someone's personality," Jungkook raises both his hands up and turns around slowly.

"Anyways," you sighed heavily. "May I have a word with you, Taehyung?" You turned around and left the room. The six, including Yoongi who has awoken looked at him. "Woah. Our Taehyungie all grown up. Tell me how you get scores on girls when you get back." Namjoon pats his shoulder.

Taehyung scratches the back of his neck as he leaves the room. He crosses his arms and avoids eye contact with you. You looked at him with a small smile spread across your face. Now both your arms were crossed.

"It's great to see you," He didn't reply or even spared you a look. It was a long silent pause before you replied back. "Why didn't you show up after that incident?"

There was still no reply and you wanted to break the silence. He removed his arms from his previous position and it lied down by his sides. You released your right hand from your crossed position, putting it on his left chest. "Your heart beat..." you smiled with a short sigh. "Does it normally beat this fast?"

Taehyung removed your hand and puts it down. "No."

"If not, then why is it like this right now?"

There was still no reply. "Are you really not going to say somethi-"

"It's because of you."
