~The Next Day~

~Hoseok's POV~

"So..why can't I just walk?" Jimin asked as he leaned back in the wheelchair. "Because you've been starving yourself for so long that you need to take a break and get your energy back." I replied with a sigh, rubbing his shoulder. "..Fine..Let's go meet Namjoon-hyung.." I nodded and started to push his wheelchair out of his room as he rested his head back and closed his eyes. 

After a few minutes of pushing I saw Namjoon walking down the hallway towards us and I forced a smile, waving slightly. "Ah, there you guys are! C'mon, Tae is waiting to see you guys." he said, waving back at me. "Why..did Tae not just..come to me?" Jimin asked softly as I pushed him. "Tae has Yeontan with him and dogs are only allowed in the courtyard." Namjoon explained as Jimin nodded.  I grunted a bit as I pushed him, not used to the momentum of a wheelchair. I noticed we walked straight past a sign showing the way to the courtyard and I narrowed my eyes a bit, glancing at Namjoon.

"Alright, there he is." Taehyung was standing in front of a room, holding a small dog carrier as he looked at his phone. He looked up and waved, smiling at us. "Hey hyungs!" he said as we walked over to him. "Hey Tae.." Jimin said softly, opening his eyes to look up at him. "Seokjin-hyung is just in here, can you go in first Tae?" Namjoon asked as Tae nodded and opened the door. He stared inside, before slowly stepping forward. I looked a bit confused, glancing at Jimin as he glanced up at me before I pushed Jimin to follow. As I stepped inside, I then understood Taehyung's reaction as I saw Jeongguk laying in bed, his leg lifted up in a brace as he was in a hospital gown that seemed to cover majority of his bandages.

"..Jeongguk-ah?" Jimin said quietly, not believing his eyes as he stared. I couldn't believe it either, How could he be here? He was..gone. Jeongguk didn't notice us as Taehyung was next to him, whispering about something. I slowly wheeled Jimin forward as Seokjin waved gently at us and Taehyung slowly stepped back in shock, before I made eye contact with Jeongguk. There was scars on his face and his hair was long, but..he was alive. "..hyungs.." he whispered, gulping a bit.

"Jeonggukie.." Jimin suddenly pushed himself to his feet and ran to hug him tightly, loosening his grip as Jeongguk winced. I looked over Jeongguk and noticed Bonnie was laying next to him. I paused, an image flashing in my mind of him standing there in the middle of the room before he was kidnapped. Suddenly my mind was plunged into littlespace as I stared at the stuffie, letting go of Jimin's wheelchair. 

I heard my voice being said and I blinked, pouting slightly as I looked around. Jimin was sat next to Jeongguk, talking to him as Taehyung was trying to talk to me. "Are you okay hyung? You phased out.." He said softly, stepping close as he put the carrier down. "N..not hyung." I whispered, glancing down. Realisation dawned on his face and he nodded, reaching to take my hand. "Okay Hobi, do you want to sit down and play with Tannie for a bit?" He asked quietly, stepping back as I nodded. I went to sit cross legged on the floor, opening the dog carrier as Yeontan jumped on my lap. I smiled as I petted him, forgetting about everyone else in the room. 

I snapped back to reality as I heard a soft "Hobi-hyung?" from Jeongguk and I looked up at him. "H..hi.." he said quietly, watching me. I remembered the prank I tried to pull on him and I glanced at Bonnie before my eyes filled with tears. Jimin quickly knelt down and hugged me, rubbing my back. "I..I'm s-sorry Jeonggukie." I mumbled, hugging Jimin back. "W..why are you..sorry?" He asked, clearly confused. "M..my fault. I..p..put him up th-there. My fault you..r..ran.." I said slowly, my voice cracking slightly.

He processed the information, before looking away as I saw his eyes water with tears. Seokjin sighed, going to rub his shoulder and Namjoon looked down at me. I hugged Yeontan to my chest and looked down, feeling their eyes continue to look at me. "Listen..we..we shouldn't say it's anyones fault..he's home now..let's be happy.." Taehyung said slowly, glancing at everyone. I glanced up, sniffling as I nodded. 

 "G..Gguk is home..h..happy.." I whispered to myself in an effort to try to cheer myself up. Jimin kissed my cheek, before pulling away and standing up. "Would you like to see Yeontan, gguk-ah?" Jimin asked as he looked at him. I slowly stood up, holding the dog as I stepped forward. Yeontan jumped out of my arms onto Jeongguk's lap and sniffed the boy's arm as he watched him. Jeongguk slowly reached out to pet his head, adjusting himself. "Yeontan missed you.." Taehyung said softly as he watched him. "A-And the rest of you didn't?" Jeongguk whispered, trying to chuckle. "Aw, of course we missed you gguk-ah.." Seokjin said, smiling a bit. "Army missed you too.."

Jeongguk nods slowly, glancing down. "T..The nurse that..f..found me, she..she showed me..t..the trending..there was..Army..I..remember.." He said slowly, as if struggling to find the words. "I..I don't remember t-that much but I do remember Army..I..I can't forget them.." he said, smiling a bit. "That's good, I'm glad you saw them..they really have missed you..we..all have.." Taehyung said softly, keeping his tone quiet as if talking normally would scare Jeongguk. "I..m..missed you too..I really d-did..felt like I was there..years.." He said quietly as Jimin nodded. "It..felt like years for us too..but..let's not think about there anymore. You're free.."

"F..free.." Jeongguk repeated as he slowly rubbed Yeontan's back. "Yes honey..You're free.." Seokjin said, gently rubbing Jeongguk's hand as he nodded. Jeongguk reached over to the side and picked up a bottle of banana milk, gripping it tightly with two shaking hands as he sipped from it. "Bubba..?" I whispered, looking at him. He looked up at me, nodding. "I..I want some banana milk too.." I mumbled, glancing at the drink Jeongguk was holding. "If you ask nicely then perhaps Namjoon can get some.." He replied as I pouted.  "Please can I have some..?" I asked, being as polite as I could. He nodded, turning to Namjoon.

"Can you go buy Hobi some banana milk, hyung?" He asked as Namjoon nodded. "I'll pay you back, thanks!" Jimin said, sitting down in his wheelchair as Namjoon walked off. "Why..w..wheelchair? Something..happen?" Jeongguk asked, watching Jimin. I pouted, looking at Jimin. He looked away, clearing his throat. "I-I uhm..drank a bit too much and they're making sure I keep safe.." Jeongguk looked worried, before nodding "Okay..be careful.." He mumbled, leaning back. "..I will gguk, don't worry.." Jimin replied, glancing down. 

Yeontan jumped up and licked Jeongguk's arm as he chuckled softly. "I'm..not a lollipop.." He said quietly, rubbing the dog's back. Yeontan just panted quietly and laid down on his lap, looking around. "How did..they find you?" Jimin asked softly, glancing at Seokjin. "He was in a plane, heading somewhere..but the pilot radioed the police and took him to Seoul Airport instead.." He explained, leaning back in his seat. "L..Los..Angeles..That's..where he wa-was taking me.." Jeongguk said, glancing at Seokjin. "W-Was gonna..s..sell me..but..Sir..h..he helped me..and took us to Seoul.." He continued, glancing down. "Sir..was the pilot?" Jeongguk nodded, glancing away. "I..I don't..remember his actual name..o-or..M.." He trails off, going silent as he avoids looking at any of us. 

I glanced between them and Seokjin looked sad, while Jimin just had slight confusion on his face. Jeongguk composed himself, before looking back at us. "I..can I..be alone? Don't..w..wanna see anyone else.." He said softly, glancing at Seokjin-hyung who just nodded. "Alright, come on guys..we'll be back in a few hours, okay gguk?" He said softly as I looked at Jimin. "Okay..bye.." Jeongguk mumbled, leaning back. "Can you push me, Hobi?" Jimin asked softly and I nodded, going to push him out. Taehyung put Yeontan back in the carrier and followed me out as I slowly pushed Jimin. 

Namjoon walked back, holding a banana milk bottle and he looked at us. "Gguk-ah wants to be alone..let's head home for a while Joon.." Seokjin said as he nodded. I took the milk and put it in my pocket, continuing to push Jimin. "I'll see you guys later?" Jimin said, looking at Namjoon and Taehyung. "Okay Jimin-ah..See you another time.." He said as I turned to push Jimin to his room. Taehyung waved as I waved back and we continued down the long hallways. We eventually made it to his room and he got out of the wheelchair, laying back in bed. "I'm gonna sleep now Hobi, is that okay?" He asked, looking at me. 

I pouted and nodded, sitting down. "Okay Bubba..s..sorry.." I mumbled, looking down. "Why are you sorry?" He asked, frowning. "Didn't..wanna slip. But..did..made Gguk sad.." I said, rubbing my eyes. "It's okay Hobi..just..get some rest, okay?" I nodded, leaning back. "G'night bubba.." I said quietly, closing my eyes. "Goodnight Hobi..I love you.." Jimin said as he climbed under the covers. "Love you too.."
