KLEPTOMANIA (YOONMIN)

EPILOGUE

"I came as soon as I heard." Kwangmin said as he ran over to Yoongi, closely followed by Youngmin. Yoongi looked up at them, sighing sadly.

"They won't let me go in and see him. They're making me wait out here." He said. Kwangmin sat down next to Yoongi, placing a hand on his shoulder. Yoongi hadn't changed or washed since he'd been taken away from Jimin, and Jimin's blood still coated his hands.

"Well, they've just got to make sure he's alright. Maybe you should get cleaned up, you might scare some of the younger kids."

Yoongi allowed himself to be led away by the twins, silently praying that Jimin would be okay.

"We'll allow visitors now." The doctor said and Yoongi shot up, rushing into Jimin's room without waiting for anymore instructions. He was instantly next to Jimin's bed, holding his hand as he smiled in relief. Mr and Mrs Park stood on the other side of the room, watching their son. Mr Park was no longer able to deny that his son needed help and it had hit him hard.

"Jimin, how are you feeling?" Yoongi asked, gently pushing Jimin's hair out of his face.

"Not great, but alive, I guess." Jimin sighed, his voice cracking. "I'm sorry."

"No, don't apologise. I'm sorry I ran off, I didn't mean to make you upset."

"It's okay, I understand." Jimin squeezed Yoongi's hand lightly, smiling a little at him.

"Oh, Jimin! What were you going to say when you were.. lying on the floor?" Yoongi asked and Jimin mumbled something. Yoongi frowned, leaning closer to Jimin. "Pardon?"

"I said, I was trying to tell you that I love you." Yoongi blinked at Jimin, surprised by the sudden confession. He then smiled again, giggling a little.

"I love you too, Jimin." Yoongi kissed Jimin's forehead and Jimin sighed. Yoongi frowned at him and Jimin grabbed his collar, pulling him down so he could kiss him properly.

"Happy now? You just got to kiss Park Jimin?" Jimin said when they pulled away.

There was a cough from the other side of the room, reminding the couple that there were two adults still in the room. Yoongi grinned sheepishly and Jimin blushed, glancing over at his parents. His father was frowning while his mother just looked neutral. Jimin then looked back at Yoongi, holding on to his hand again.

"I'm sorry if I worried you--"

"Don't apologise, it's all okay. Just get better, alright?" Yoongi said, caressing Jimin's forehead again.

"Okay, I will." Yoongi smiled, kissing Jimin once more.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

NOTE: thank you for reading

but please don't ask for a sequel. when i wrote this, i had intended on it going for a little bit longer, to cover a part of the recovery process (because i always intended on jimin entering the road to recovery, learning to manage what life has dealt him with, having a relatively happy ending) but when i was doing my researching, i was reading a bunch of things i couldn't understand no matter how many times and ways i read it. and i was so so determined not to incorrectly portray anything, to not write something inaccurate as best i could with the writing ability i had. so that meant i couldn't write the recovery, because i didn't know what was involved and i didn't want to make it up

i did try once, later, but it really didn't work. there was no plot, i was ruining things, and altogether unhappy with it. so please, regardless of how dissatisfied you may feel, do not ask me for a sequel. you will probably get a curt, mildly annoyed response

on that less than positive note, seriously, thank you so much for reading this. i might not be able to look fondly on this now but i remember being really proud of this at the time and so baby me appreciates every bit of support you give this, even when i can't
