Look Here

     Jae's eyes were foggy and heavy when she opened them. The first thing she saw was the top of a tent, and she groaned, her knees and elbows stinging a little when she moved. "Hobi, she's awake! Jae? Can you hear me?" Jungkook sounded far away, but the next thing she knew she could see his face hovering over hers.

    She reached out and wanted to touch him, to make sure he was real. Her hand softly brushed against his cheek and he grabbed it and held it there. "Hi" she croaked, and tried to smile.

    "You scared us earlier." she heard Hobi say, and she felt a hand on her calf. "How are you feeling?" Jae was able to sit up, and she looked around, still gathering her senses. It was only the three of them in the tent, the others were nowhere to be seen.

    And then, as if she was struck by lightning, the past events hit her all at once. Namjoon was hurt. She felt her palms start to sweat, and before Jungkook or Hobi could stop her, she practically sprinted out of the tent. She realized it was dark out now, and she saw shadows from the tent next door, as well as Tae sitting on the grass, picking it out of the ground, and Jimin pacing back and forth.

    They saw her but her focus was getting into the tent. She brushed past them and burst through, feeling Jungkook and Hobi right behind her, calling out her name.

    A wave of emotions hit her all at once when she saw Namjoon was shirtless, sitting in an upright position while Jin and Yeona were behind him. Namjoon was gritting his teeth as Jin seemed to be suturing, needle and thread in hand, and Yeona was pacing back and forth, biting her nails, occasionally grimacing at the sight.

    She saw the bloody gauze as well as a bullet covered in his blood, and she was overwhelmed with relief. "Jae..!" Namjoon seemed surprised to see her and as soon as she met his eyes she couldn't stop herself from practically jumping in his arms. "Ow ow ow" he winced in pain. "Oh my god, sorry...I'm sorry!" Jae said, embarrassed and immediately released him. He looked happy however, despite probably being in immense pain. She felt horrible just seeing him injured, given it had been her fault.

    "At least let me finish stitching him up before you suffocate the poor man." Jin said, shaking his head. However, he had a small smile on his face, and Jae was happy to see him too. She was also more than grateful that he was able to save his life. That, and she just missed him. Without even thinking she got on her tiptoes and kissed Jin on the cheek.

    "You're amazing." she said, trying not to cry. "Really you are. Is he going to be okay?" He put his fingers lightly where she had kissed him and she couldn't help but giggle as she could see his ears were turning a deep shade of crimson and he looked frozen. Her smile faded when she saw Namjoon's back, which was now a mix of red and purple and had some stitches in it. He would probably have a scar there now because of her.

    "What's wrong Jin? Cat got your tongue?" she heard Hobi snicker from behind her. She turned and saw him and the others standing there, watching everything and smirking. Jin cleared his throat, "Y-yeah. He'll live. For sure." he said flatly, and continued suturing. "I'm good you guys. No need to worry." Namjoon seemed to address everyone, but it seemed to be mostly directed to Jae.

     It was Jae's turn to become flustered as she was just now seeing Namjoon's buff figure presented in front of her, bare and open, and she had to fight herself not to stare at the beautifully sculpted man in front of her. His ears were down and back, "What about you? Are you okay?"

    Was he being serious? "Namjoon, you're the one that was shot and you're asking if I'm okay? I know you're in good hands now," she said glancing at Jin, who was focused on his task, "but seriously, don't do that again... better me than you." she said, crossing her arms.
