The Earthquake of 2016 | A BTS Story

Area 5: Hospital Room

Jimin, Taehyung, and Jeongguk were waiting in the ER lobby, while Namjoon was getting a snack from the vending machine. Jeongguk was asleep on Taehyung's lap, the stress had worn him out from earlier.

"Family for Kim Seokjin!"

Jimin stood up and rushed over to the nurse who said his hyung's name. "Is he okay? Oh please tell me hyung's okay-" "Seokjin is fine, just a few cuts and bruises. You can see him now if you-" "Yes please!" Jimin interrupted. Taehyung woke up Jeongguk and they all went to Seokjin's room. Jimin was quick to sit down next to the bed.

"I'm glad you're okay hyungie." Jimin held on to Seokjin's hand as he turned his head. "I'm fine, Jimin." Seokjin smiled weakly. "Kim Seokjin hyung, you have a cut." Namjoon pointed to the cut on Seokjin's cheek. "I know, Joonie. It's okay." Seokjin told him, sighing. "Hyung, why did that guy...k-kiss you?" Jeongguk asked, referring to the one who had beat him up. Jeongguk's ears turned red awkwardly.

Seokjin was visually angry. "F*cking pervert, he was. I had some money buried in my underwear drawer and he just turned me around and kissed me. There was a gun to my head, otherwise I would've slapped him." He explained, crossing his arms. Jimin nibbled on his lip. "T-the one that stayed with us, in the living room, he was being weird with me too." He explained to Seokjin. "He said Jimin had pretty lips, I heard." Jeongguk commented. Jimin laughed nervously. "Yeah...I'm glad we're all okay though..." He changed the subject. "Should we call the police? Aren't they supposed to help?" Namjoon asked, shrugging. "It's over now, Joonie. It's okay." Seokjin told him.

"Hyung, you shouldn't have given them the money-" "If I didn't, Jimin would've gotten raped and I couldn't let that happen- and he would've killed Namjoon-ah. I can always get the money back anyway. I can't get Namjoon-ah back, or any of you." Seokjin cut him off, looking in Jeongguk's eyes. "W-what?" Jimin looked directly at Seokjin. Seokjin huffed. "It's what the guy told me, in my room. He said if I didn't give it to him, if I didn't comply, they had a backup plan to make me give it to them." He explained.

Jimin looked down at the ground, trying to process the new information. "Why would they want to kill me?" Namjoon asked. "Because people are mean, and selfish. Those type of people don't care about you, Joonie." Seokjin told him.

"Wait, where's Yoongi?"

Taehyung looked up at the eldest in the room. "Hyung had a seizure, we haven't heard anything about him yet..." He explained. "Yeah, it was a few moments after you passed out." Jimin nodded. "Poor Yoongi-ya...ever since he had that surgery it hasn't been helping..." Seokjin sighed and closed his eyes. "He'll be fine. He's a walking miracle." Jimin smiled softly. They nodded.

A few minutes later a doctor entered, one they haven't seen before. "You're in relation to Min Yoongi?" The man asked. "Yeah, we brought him in." Jimin turned around anxiously. The doctor didn't look too happy.

"Well, the seizure was triggered from a load of stress, and it wasn't exactly good for him...I'm sorry-" Jimin covered his mouth and Seokjin's heart dropped. "But at this time Min Yoongi's unresponsive and we're unsure if he ever will be again..."

"He isn't dead." Jimin sighed and let out the breath he was holding. Everyone was relived but sad at the same time. "So, you're saying, he's, brain dead?" Seokjin asked; the only one not relieved. "Yes." The doctor nodded.

Seokjin started to cry silently as he closed his eyes and hit his head back on his pillow. Jimin's small hand cuddled into Seokjin's bigger one, and he interlocked their fingers shyly. Seokjin held his hand as he took a deep breath.

Eventually Seokjin was discharged from the hospital but they spent the rest of the day in Yoongi's room. The boy was so pale he was almost the same shade of the hospital sheets. His heartbeat was slow, and his oxygen levels were struggling; therefore leading the nurses on to put in a tube in his throat to help him breathe better. His body was limp, no muscles even twitching- not even his eyelids. The only part of him that was moving was his chest and stomach as he breathed slowly.

Around eight at night they had to go back to their individual houses. Seokjin wouldn't let them stay at his house in case the robbers came back. Jeongguk didn't sleep, like normal, and Taehyung only got about three hours of sleep before the sun rose, furthermore stopping him from being able to fall asleep.

As for Seokjin, he cut his arms so deep, his way of sleeping was falling unconscious in the bathroom shower.
