Hush Little Baby [VMinKook]

Cloud - Elias

Jimin was tired of crying.

He really was.

He was tried of feeling guilty.

Pain.

Hurt.

Fear.

He was tired of it.

And it was obvious that he was.

Standing here, in this hospital room, Jimin couldn't think of anything else besides how tired he was right now. Just mentally and emotionally drained. He even feels like his spirit is being drained along with it too, while he just lets it happen.

And he doesn't know how to stop it.

The only relief he has right now is seeing his brother laying there, eyes open - processing what Jimin just told him.

It's been three days.

And Jeongguk is still missing, being search by Woosung's men - who he sent to investigate for more clues on his where about. Still has came to nothing.

Valencia is in critical conditions since she hit her head hard upon impact when the car flipped over, so she's in the ICU for the time being in a coma like state after surgery.

Lalisa hasn't woken up, but does have a broken arm with a twisted ankle. Doctors said she would wake up soon, but who knows when that would be.

Then.... There's the ones who Jimin didn't expect to see here-

"Jimin," He snaps his gaze to his brother, drifting away from his thoughts, "You need the Phoenix Children for this."

A deep frown forms Jimin's lips, tearing his gaze away, "I ran away remember? I can't-"

"Yes you can," Gikwang says sternly back, "This situation is not on shallow waters anymore Jimin. You need the help of the children. If not then you and your friends will end up dead! Look at what they did to me! To Lalisa and V-" He pauses, closing his eyes for a moment before letting out a heavy breath, "And then Jeongguk goes missing..... You need us. What if you're next? Or Taehyung? Huh?"

Jimin feels this stretch in his chest to those words, feeling it like a knife digging and dragging over his heart.

He hasn't reached out to Phoenix in years. He can't just come back after spending years in trying to run away from it. For the right reasons too - he fucked up, badly. He doesn't want traces of them in his life only to have even more problems in the future.

But does he have any other choice?

Time is ticking, and Jeongguk's life is definitely on the line right now.

That only adds more to his crazed head running with so much shit at the same time, on what to do and how to handle it. It left him feeling like shit, even more as he thinks about Phoenix, but those were things he had to obviously think about as he moves forward. He has the skills, he has the resources - they're right there.

It's just.... Complicated. He wanted to handle this without their help, and he will.

Someway somehow, he will.

Walking out of his brother's room now with a head down, Jimin just continued to be lost on what to do. However he didn't get to dwell too much into that thought because his eyes suddenly falls to a familiar male sitting on the floor across the door, leaning against the wall with shakily hands over his eyes.
