Author's POV:

Taehyung sits quietly on the cold, stubbornly hard, and uncomfortable hospital chair in the waiting room. That was the farthest he could go before the EMT's took Jimin down the hall into one of the operating rooms. He waits patiently for them to call him in to see Jimin. Taehyung had felt tired honestly, but nothing was keeping him from seeing that the latter was okay. 

Hours later, a nurse had came to tell him that Jimin was okay. She informed him that Jimin had a few bruises, some broken ribs, and a broken arm. No concussions, no memory loss. Which makes Taehyung happy to this moment. But they did tell him that Jimin needed to stay in for a couple of more weeks. Just so they can do furthermore check ups on him and provide him rehabilitation for his arm.

The people there had tried to dismiss him, they told him they had everything under control and he could get a good night's rest, but he refused because he wanted to see Jimin. So he is still waiting patiently. His one leg moving up and down while his fingers drum on the other, he's nervous. 

But it takes his mind off of many things. Before, he couldn't stop thinking about the stalker and how he got caught. But Taehyung still contemplates whether it was good that he was caught. Meaning how the turn of events happened. Was jeopardizing Jimin's life the necessary extent to the stalker's capture?

Also, what had the stalker wanted with Jimin? Maybe he got too close for comfort? Maybe he was the one Jimin had tried to catch and Jimin was getting close so he panicked and tried to kill him? All of these questions keep circulating in his mind. He was so deep in thought he nearly missed the nurse calling his name.

"Kim Taehyung?" The nurse asks gently. He nods, rubbing his eyes. The time right now is 12 in the morning. He's been there for two hours. He's tired but he ignores it because he still wants to see Jimin. He couldn't even think of sleeping when his best friend is stuck in such conditions. His guilt, once again, getting the best of him. He gets up from the chair and stretches a little. He twists his waist from side to side to get the knot out.

"Right this way. He is still unconscious but his breathing has stabilized and all of his wounds are repaired." The nurse informs as they walk. "Thank you for telling me." Taehyung says. He hangs his head low being surrounded by all the thoughts that once consumed his head before. "It's all your fault." He hears someone whisper. He looks around but only sees the nurse.

"The people in your life never cared. They don't even like you." Another voice whispers. He feels like crying because what they were whispering was true to him. He lost his family, he lost his boyfriend, he's close to losing his friends. What's next? "Junghyun is next." The voice whispers, the last word drifting away with his voice, echoing within his mind.

Taehyung stops walking and he starts to hyperventilate. He was unaware of the lady telling him they arrived at Jimin's door. "No." He whispers. "Pardon me?" The nurse asks. "No. Stop. Please stop." He begs in a broken voice as he crouches down and grabs his head with both of his hands. He shakes his head vigorously and the lady scurries to him quickly and reaches her hand out to him.

"Mr.Kim are you alri-" He swats her hand away and looks up at her with teary eyes. He realizes what he did and he gets up. He dusts himself off and wipes his eyes with his arm. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm a little and the events from earlier are only now taking a toll on me. I'll just go in." He keeps his arm on his eyes, slightly peeking through it so he can open the door.

The lady looks at him, eyes full of worry. She's seen cases of his behavior before, but not at a hospital. She sighs and glances at the now closed door one more time, then she turns and walks away.
