The awakening

The fallout

  Jimin had spent three days in hospital in the end, his recovery taking longer than thought because he wasn't eating properly because his throat hurt along with his ribs and the stress of his father who had been detained by police and charged with assault causing bodily harm and damages due to the broken bits in the apartment which Jungkook had made sure to replace. He was let out on bail and told not to go near Jimin but he knew that wouldn't stop his father.
On the day he was due out he heard his room door open quietly, glancing over he saw the man he could no longer call father standing there glowering at him. " you will drop all charges against me, do you hear!"
Jimin sighed," you are not allowed here."
Coming nearer to the bed he stood clenching his fists, Jimin  pushed the buzzer hidden under his cover which would alert someone outside," do you think I care, I am your father and have total control over you!" He spat out.
"You are no father to me and I will never let you spoil my life again, the charges stay you deal with the consequences ."
Raising his hand as if to hit him he was stopped by a nurse who quickly taking in the situation called for security, who pulled the blaspheming man from the room," I'm sorry Jimin but I have to report this to the police," the nurse said.
"Ok, don't worry, I can't deal with him anymore he's no father to me."
Two hours later and Jungkook strode in to pick Jimin up, stopping at the nurses station to leave chocolates and thank them for Jimins care. One of the nurses stood up," excuse me Mr Jeon, but there was an incident this morning, his father came and threatened him , we called the police as you suggested." Jungkook nodded quickly making his way to Jimins room.
Opening the door he saw Jimin struggling to bend down to pull on his shoes his ribs still delicate, he walked over bending down to put the shoes on and tied them up." Thank you ," Jimin said embaressed.
"Are you sure you should be let out, you still look frail?"
"  I can't live here," Jimin tried to laugh, gasping as his ribs disagreed with it.
Jungkook stared at the boy then taking out his phone he made a call," Namjoon check if any of the suites are available in the top floor....., it is ok Jimin will be staying there, no he's not completely well he can't manage on his own, yes that's what I thought, No we will swing by pick up some stuff then come there,"
Putting the phone down he started to pick up the small boys bits and pieces.
"What arrangements were you making on my behalf?" Jimin demanded.
"Your going to stay at the hotel for a while you obviously can't manage,at least I can keep an eye on you there and your friends work there and can visit, you have the lift so no stairs,we will go to yours to collect some stuff, but that's it, problem?" He stared at the boy daring him to refuse, but after staring back at him Jimin looked away," no problem," he said, knowing he just felt exhausted just the small chore of getting dressed had worn him out. Then his eyes widened," Erm you will have to take payment from future wages though, I can pay a bit now but not enough," he said embaressed.
Jungkook stared at him seeing a hint of desperation in his eyes, it must be so hard for someone to fall from an exalted position to nothing, Jimin was probably more qualified than him but he never complained just got on with life.
"Staff discount applies," he said naming a ludicrously small amount to the cost of the room to save the others embarrassment when really he hadn't been going to charge him anything, Jimin sighed relieved, something that didn't go unnoticed .
The journey to Jimins took a while as Jimin found everything an effort, getting to the hotel they were greeted by Tae who helped take Jimin up to his room having previously warned staff not to stare, so Jimin was greeted with smiles and nods from people he knew but no one asked where he had been.
Jungkook looked around the room he'd allocated nodding to himself, he saw the tiredness on the boys face and pulled Tae aside," get him to go to bed, tell him to ring down for meals and say it is a staff perk, ok,"
Tae nodded, he didn't know why his friend was doing all this but he was pleased, maybe finally Kook had found someone he wanted to be with.
Jungkook said goodbye to Jimin who thanked him. He left nodding at Tae, who immediately joked with the boy about how nice and comfy the beds were why didn't he try it, to which the small boy agreed willingly.
Jimin slept for most of the day only waking up when Yoongi came in with Tae later on. He noticed his brother seemed quite enamoured of the other and smiled, this could get interesting he thought.
Tae asked if he had eaten and was quite annoyed when he said no, he was going to ring down for food but Jimin said he really couldn't face the thought of it, he was tired.
Yoongi and Tae left him to sleep, Yoongi worriedly saying to Tae," please keep an eye on his eating, dad used to ridicule him when he was younger calling him fat and chubby he got really insecure and it effected him as he got older he dieted all the time, needlessly, he doesn't see how skinny he is."
Tae nodded ," don't worry we will all keep an eye on him."
The next morning Tae was drinking coffee with Jungkook and Namjoon and expressed Yoongi's worries.
"Does he eat in the staff canteen normally, " knowing that a barcode was scanned when a member of staff ate there so they knew how much expenditure they had there. Tae shook his head," not once, I checked."
Jungkook frowned, having gained an idea on Jimins expenditure, he knew he walked to work, his wardrobe was limited from what he could see when he packed, he used basic washing essentials, his fridge when he checked if anything needed to be thrown out held a few bottles of water and a few eggs, he expected he paid monthly water and utility bills, if he kept losing jobs because of his father it would be hard to save,Yoongi said he never cashed any cheques he sent him telling him he was fine.
This boy was so damn stubborn he thought, " right plan of action , while jimin is here one of us will sit and have dinner with him so he can't refuse to eat, say you needed a break away or something he will be suspicious, also Tae make sure Tea or coffee is sent up with a snack , if necessary I will guilt him into having it, moan about wastage or something," he smiled to himself pleased with his actions while the other two grinned to themselves at the way their friend was taking over this cute boys life.
