PLAY ON- Taekook

"I'm allowed to make a phone call, aren't I?" I asked, fiddling with my fingers as the metal around my hands scratched my skin.

"Yes." The officer sitting behind the desk in front of me answered, unlocking my handcuffs before handing me the telephone on his desk. I quickly dialed my dad's number, he picked up a few seconds later.

"Hello, Who is this?"

"Dad, i'm at the police station you came to last time I got a speeding ticket. Please help."I spoke fast, wanting to get to Taehyung as fast as I could.

"What did you do now Jungk- You know what, hold on. I'll be there in a second." He hung up and I handed the phone back to the officer. My dad owned an entire law firm, he was one of the best lawyers in the country and I knew he'd get me out of this.

I grew impatient as I waited more and more, but thankfully my dad finally bursted through the doors, looking like he didn't have time to get ready. Sighing in relief, I watched as he talked to the officer with tired eyes. I felt sorry for him, he supported me my whole life and now I had been arrested for assault. I didn't feel sorry for that bastard though, he deserved every ounce of pain he went through and more.

Waiting silently on my seat, I couldn't stop myself from worrying. Was Taehyung injured? Was his condition bad? All I wanted to do was run to the hospital and hold him, make sure he was okay, but I couldn't. All I could do was wait.

Around twenty minutes later, my dad came back, a smile on his face. "You're free to go for now, Son. You have a court meeting next week."

"Y-You're not angry?" I asked, confused at his calm expression.

"The officer told me what happened. I raised a good man. Now go find your boyfriend." He patted me on the back. I gave him a quick hug before running outside. As soon as I checked my phone, I saw a message from Jimin with the hospital's address.

Jimin

He's in the emergency room, things are bad. Hurry.

I drove like my life depended on it, my chest heaving as I dodged cars left and right. It only took me five minutes to get there but it felt like hours. I didn't even bother parking properly, stopping my car on the side of the road before darting inside.

The room around me was blurry as I frantically searched for the emergency rooms. I ran to the nearest nurse. "Excuse me, where are the emergency rooms?" I asked, out of breath.

"To your left." She smiled, I didn't have time to thank her before finding myself searching for him. I found Roseanne and Jimin in the seating area, Jimin's hand rubbing her back as she cried.

"What happened?! Where is he?"

"They sent him to the intensive care unit, i'll take you." Jimin stood up, telling Roseanne to stay there before leading me to him quickly. We walked inside a room where Taehyung was laid out on a bed, machines surrounding him. There was a nurse standing in the room.

"Hello sir, are you related to him?"

"N- Yes. Yes I am." I lied, wanting to find out what was wrong with him.

"He's malnourished, no food or water has been in his system in days." The woman told me, checking up on the paperwork next to his bed. I didn't know how to feel, seeing Taehyung like this made me want to kill his brother. How could he do that to him?

"Is there anything else? Physical scars or bruises?" I asked, confused.

"No. He just needs some nutrition so he'll be staying here for a few nights." I gave her a nod before walking towards him. He looked pale and tired. Jimin patted me on the back before asking. "What happened at the police station?"
