"How could you not tell me? I thought we were family?"

Those words have been echoing in Yoongi's mind for the past hour, and it was distracting him from the things that are happening around him. Those words were from his memories, swimming in his head and taunting him. They were not from his recent memories but his past and before he even got into the accident.

Yoongi can still remember the way his lips moved as he uttered those words. Although all the memories that are slowly coming back to him are a bit hazy and blurry with no specific connection whatsoever, Yoongi knows that it might have been one of the reasons why he disappeared from his band members in the first place.

There is no clear answer as to why Yoongi left and went missing for days before his group and the whole world found out that he had gotten into a car accident. Yoongi wanted to ask his band members, but his suspicions were only growing day by day as each separate memory slowly made its way back into his mind.

He can still remember what happened a couple of days ago in Hoseok's studio.

"Yoongi, please."

It sounded like he was begging, and Yoongi did not know what to do. He was about to say something to comfort the younger man when Hoseok made the first move and walked towards him, bringing Yoongi in for an embrace.

"Oh, Hoseok," Yoongi sighs, letting the younger cry on his shoulder as he tries comforting him by dragging his hands up and down the younger's back. "I'm sorry that Hyung still can't remember. I didn't realize I'd be hurting you this much."

Hoseok shakes his head, raising it slightly so that he would meet Yoongi's eyes, "It's not your fault, Hyung. It's not, and I'm sorry I made it seem that way. But believe me when I tell you that none of this is your fault but mine."

"What?" Yoongi suddenly asks, breaking the solemn mood in the room. This is when they both realize that their bodies are close enough that Yoongi could feel Hoseok's breath on his lips. "Hoseok."

Then, he remembered something.

A sudden burst of pain emerged in Yoongi's head as the memory flowed in his mind. He could not pay attention properly to the said memory as he pushed the younger away from him, watching Hoseok land on the floor with a look of shock plastered on his face.

"Yoongi? Hyung?"

The younger immediately stood up from the cold ground and moved closer to his suffering friend. His eyes widen at the sight of Yoongi clutching his head tightly, his fingers pulling hard on his own hair, and a loud scream echoing from his lips.

"Hyung! Are you hurt?! Where?" Hoseok is suddenly frantic, grabbing Yoongi and trying to get answers from him but realizes that the older is too far gone into the pain that he is dealing with even to answer his questions. "I'm going to call the others, alright? We'll get you a doctor. We'll get you to a hospital, okay?"
