BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, May 12 - Jimin (Surgery Ward)

(A/N: Loop #1)

[Place: Hospital]

... Weird. The wrist I'm attending physical therapy for feels a little stiff. I want to hurry and go lie down in my bed, but the elevator isn't coming. "Is it out of order?"

Just then, I hear my name being called from somewhere. "Jimin-ah!"

(A/N: It was Seokjin waiting near the elevator. Please read his POV on the other page, same day.)

The voice sounds familiar. Who is it? The light makes it hard to see. I don't know what pulls me towards it, but I step towards the stairwell.

(A/N: POV #2 of Loop #1. Read Hoseok's POV on the same day.)

Everything about him - from the look on his face to his voice and gaze - is different from usual.

"Get out of here?"

There are moments when I want to run out, but I'm unsure this time. Outside is an unfamiliar, scary place. And it's clear I'd have to come back here, no matter how difficult our escape is.

"Jimin-ah, I'll come back for you."

Hoseok hyung turns away without waiting for my answer. I don't want to say goodbye, so I secretly follow him as he's discharged from the hospital. But my few steps forward come to a stop. That exact same spot where the hallway would have ended up on the 9th floor. Hoseok hyung casually crosses that boundary and opens the door. Bright sunlight and crisp, fresh air filter in. Me... Leave this place? The door closes while I'm lost in thought.

I turn myself back around. The place I need to return to isn't outside. It's the 9th floor of this hospital. Because... I'm a patient.

[Place: Hospital]

When I opened my eyes, Hoseok hyung was standing in front of me. He looked down at me in a familiar ceiling, familiar darkness. When I got up from surprise, he put his finger on his lips. Seemed like everyone was asleep, the room was quiet. Hyung handed me a shirt. Then pointed to the door.

Everyone came. I was told that Namjoon hyung is on the lookout and Yoongi hyung was stopping the nurse. Jungkook and Taehyung will be joining in the elevator later.

At first, I couldn't understand what he was saying. He held out his hand to me.

The day I get out of the hospital. I used to dream about that day. Get out of the hospital and meet friends. I wanted to have fun, laugh and spend time together like before. But now, I don't know. Is it a good idea to get out? My parents who hid me here treating me like I don't exist, people who talk about me that I have mental issues, maybe even Hoseok hyung might be thinking the same thing, deep inside, that I'm a weird guy, that it's uncomfortable to hang out with a person like me.

"Come on. We have no time."

I don't know if it's because he hurried me but it felt like the ticking of the clock seemed to be faster. Click, click, a footstep that sounded like a hallucination came closer to the room. Hyung and I both looked at the door and looked back at each other. His hands were still in front of me.
