Chapter 18

Hey hey, new chapter ❤️

Next update will be Wednesday! (Also I decided this story will likely be around 24-27 chapters ish? It's a random number but I just thought through how I wanted to end it and I'm not sure if I'll be making changes or how long I'm gonna make the chapters)

Enjoy!

Hoseok was the first to enter the hospital, nearly slamming into the front desk from his momentum. Behind, Namjoon and Taehyung hit into him.

"We're here to see Park Jimin, is he taking visitors now?" Jin huffed, both his hands lying on the front counter in a hurry. The nurse on duty could only nod dumbly as famous idol Jeon Jungkook and rapper Suga ran through the doors and made a sharp right turn down the hallway to the elevator.

Jungkook ran through the hospital by memory, trying to get to Jimin's room. He didn't bother to wait for his Hyung's or the shouts of doctors and nurses as they scolded him for running.

Taehyung was hot on his trails, all of BTS sprinting through the hospital like their life depended on it. The sound of talking and laughter coming from Jimin's room made them all halt in their tracks.

Because Jimin was laughing. It was a sound none of them heard a long time. And it tortured their souls that it was because of them that they couldn't hear that beautiful sound.

Jungkook bit his lip before knocking twice on the door. After the sound died down, he pushed down the handle, letting himself in.

When Jimin heard the knock, he assumed Dr. Xia or one of the nurses were checking in and didn't think much of it. As the door swung open, a very familiar face walked in... his eyes widened a fraction and it felt like he couldn't breath anymore.

Jungkook watched him as Jimin's hand which was holding the chopsticks with sticky rice began to shake and tremble. The heart monitor beside him began to beep crazily once again. He didn't know he was crying until the salty liquid entered his mouth and fell on the bedding surrounding him; drowning him.

Jimin averted his gaze as the rest of BTS came running through the door, their chests heaving from the sudden exercise. They watched worriedly as Jimin clutched thé sheets that covered his legs and sobbed quietly. None of them were able to make out the quiet "I'm sorry's" that left his pale lips.

"J-Jimin... we came to apologize-" Jungkook felt like crying himself, watching his Hyung have a complete melt down in front of him. Taehyung apparently beat him to it, stepping in front of Jungkook with tears streaming down his tanned cheeks, "Jimin I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Tae had seemed to forget any word that wasn't "I'm sorry" as he continued to step shakily towards the bed.

But with every step he took, Jimin only got worst as he sobbed harder and harder, eventually BamBam hugged him tightly and glared at the approaching boy. "You need to leave."

Taehyung felt like wailing after that. "J-Jimin..." the other members were in varying degrees of grief as well, either biting their lips or clenching their fists tightly. Hoseok went up and grabbed Taehyung's hand silently, he eyed BamBam down for a second before softening his gaze when he looked at Jimin, who was still saying his silent mantra of "go away" and "I'm sorry".

Namjoon was holding Jin, both of them just watching Jimin sadly, their eyes roaming around the room at the still silent Got7 members. Yugyeom still had a mouth full of food, not daring to chew. The room was deathly silent if not for Jimin's muttering, Taehyung's sobbing, and the eerie beeping of the heart machine.

Finally, Jinyoung stood up and ushered Got7 out, taking BTS with them. As he was being shoved at out the door, Jungkook spared one last glance at the cowering boy on the hospital bed, looking completely broken. Jungkook's heart felt the same way.
