"How do you feel, taehyung-ah?" - my eyelids felt heavy when I opened my eyes to see Jimin's face.

"Jungkook? Where is he?" - I whispered.
My throat was aching when I was trying to speak.
"Jungkook... he just stepped out for a minute. He will be here in a moment. Taehyung-ah, are you hurt anywhere? " - I saw tear drops escaping Jimin's big eyes as he clutched his fists to hold himself back.

"Jimin-ah, your friend is alright. See, I am not hurt anymore. Don't worry, okay? " - I feebly said as I spread my arms to him.
He jumped on me and embracing me in a tight hug, he started crying. One... two... three... he kept shedding tears in my arms. Jimin has always been very brave. But he must have got very scared.
"Taehyung-ah.. Taehyung-ah... I.. you know.. I got really scared. You...don't do it again... Please! I... "- he mumbled through his sobs.

" Shhhh! It's okay... I am sorry... I am really sorry!" -

"Ahem...!" - we both looked at the door to find Yoongi leaning on the door. Jungkook was standing behind him. His eyes were red and swollen. Dark circles were prominent around them. He looked like a mess. He looked like as if he was holding his breath.

"Jimin-ssi, would you mind giving your lover a shoulder to sleep?" - Yoongi yawned and said.
Jimin looked at me as he softly ruffled my hair and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Be good. I will come tomorrow." - He said looking back from the door. Yoongi just waved his hand and walked away.
Seems like the sleepycat has not got any sleep yet.
After Yoongi and Jimin left, Jungkook closed the door behind and leaned on it. He exhaled a sigh.
"Come here."- I spread my hand to him.
He did not move from the place as if his feet were glued to the ground.
"Jungkook-ah!" - I gently called his name.
His eye brims filled with tears. He shifted his gaze to the blooming camellia tree outside the window. His lips were trembling.
"Jungkook-ssi?" - I called his name again and tried to get out of the bed.
My legs wobbled and I fell down.
Jungkook hurriedly came to me and embraced me in his arms.

Aah! So warm! I felt like melting away in his embrace.

"It's not your fault babe! Stop blaming yourself. I am still here. Look, I am alright.''- I held his hand and placed it on my face.

"I am scared, hyung!" - he hid his face on my chest as he bleated.

"Shhh babe! Shhh..." - I rubbed his back gently as he held onto me.

"Why are your knuckles bruised? Whom did you fight with? What did you do?" - I noticed his right hand as I spoke.

"It's nothing. Don't worry. Just did what I should have done a long time ago." - Jungkook smiled as he lifted me up in his arms and placed me on the bed.

"Soo ho..." - I looked up at Jungkook and asked.
"He's doing well. He's in the next room. I will take you to visit him tomorrow. Okay?" -he cooed while stroking my hair gently.

"Hyung, there's something I want to tell you." - Jungkook seemed hesitant.
"What? Go on!" - I smiled.
"Not now. I will tell you when you get discharged." - He softly spoke.
"You promise?" - I held his face in between my palms and said.
Leaning down, he kissed me and whispered - "I promise!"

"Now sleep." - Jungkook said and covered me up in blanket .

"Where will you go?" - I held his hand and asked.

"I will just..." - Jungkook pointed to the couch.

"No. Here. Sleep with me."- I pulled him closer and he landed up on the bed.

"Hyung...You..."- He laid beside me and I put my head on his chest.

"Jungkook-ah! I want to go home." - I whimpered.

"Then get well fast. I will take you wherever you want. Just....Just...Don't scare me like this." - Jungkook's hold became firm as he spoke.

"I won't. I swear to God, I won't. I am sorry, babe! I am so so so sorry....! I .." - I mumbled. Knots were forming inside my throat. Jungkook's shirt was getting drenched with my tears.

He was silent. I could feel his tears falling on my hair.

We both let the night pass in silence as we both found warmth in each other's embrace.

"Kookie, sing for me." - I said as I was writing my name on his chest.

He started humming. I started getting lost in his soft, beautiful voice.
Aah! How comforting! How warm!

We're only gettin' older, baby
And I've been thinkin' about it lately
Does it ever drive you crazy
Just how fast the night changes?
Everything that you've ever dreamed of
Disappearing when you wake up
But there's nothing to be afraid of
Even when the night changes
It will never change me and you!
