we recover.

taehyung regained his consciousness as he listened to the quiet murmurs around him. his eyes fluttered open as he tried his best to not fall asleep despite the heaviness of his eyelids.

squinting, the hospital lights were glaring above him, preventing him from properly opening his eyes.

he feels parched, famished even.

but he had one mission in mind and that was to—

“j-jungkook...” he croaked out, internally grimacing at the roughness of his voice.

“he's awake!”

“oh my goodness, taehyungie!”

he tried to open his eyes again, in which he successfully did this time. he let his vision roam around the faces that was hovering over him.

yoongi and hoseok’s concerned faces greeted him.

hoseok’s eyes and nose were visibly red, as if he had just finished crying.

“h-hyung?” he whispered, chest suddenly feeling heavy as if submerged in the bluest and deepest ocean.

“hush now tae, you're fine now. stop crying now.” yoongi comforted, wiping his cheeks that was now dampened by the tears unconsciously escaping his eyes.

“im sorry, sorry, im sorry—” he hiccuped, reliving the events that transpired that sent him to his current state.

“shh, it's not your fault taetae, it will never be. hush now. samchon and sungmo’s on their way. okay?”

he nodded in response as he tried to stop himself from producing tears.

“can you sit up for us, tae bear?” hoseok helped him up in a sitting position while yoongi arranged the pillows behind him, allowing him to be comfortable.

hoseok held out a glass of water in front of him to drink which he gladly accepted, easily emptying the glass.

“are you feeling okay now?” yoongi inquired as he caressed his hand delicately.

“feeling better hyungies, thank you for being here. im sorry for making you worry.” taehyung bowed his head in shame.

“oh tae, please quit apologizing. none of this is your fault, yeah? it was jimin’s and his ass is on its way to a life imprisonment. we'll make sure of it.”

sensing the determination on hoseok’s voice, taehyung only sighed softly.

suddenly, he remembered jungkook.

his jungkook, who was shot.

his face immediately snapped in panic, “hyung, have you seen jungkook?”

hoseok and yoongi looked at each other, giving each other a knowing look.

“hyungs? what happened to jungkook? is he okay?” taehyung inquired hastily since they were not responding.
