"Clueless" | vmin [On Hold]

   Jimin awoke to the sound of a continuous beeping. "Umm, excuse me, doctor, I think he's awake." Jimin's eyes fluttered open before shutting, because of the bright light on ceiling. The sound of feet shuffling on the cold, marble floor made it hard for Jimin to feel at ease. 

   He felt as if someone or something was coming after him, though it was most likely just his mind trying to confuse him. "Park Jimin, are you alright?"

   "Water" was the only thing Jimin could mutter. His throat felt so dry it almost hurt to talk. "Water? Okay, nurse Choi go get him some water." Again, the sound of shuffling feet entered Jimin's ears while he lie there, eyes closed, feeling uneasy. 

   Jimin hated hospitals, because it felt like they were suffocating him. They say they just want to help, but the pester you and ask if you're okay, when you're obviously not okay. Why would an 'okay' person be at the hospital?

More people entered the room, and started checking the beeping machine next to Jimin while other nurses helped him sit up comfortably. He managed to open his eyes which traveled the room with a dull expression. "How are you feeling?" A doctor who was holding a clipboard and and pen asked. 

Jimin simply nodded. "Why am I here?" Jimin questioned setting the water cup down. "You got in an accident on your way to Seoul from the airport. The driver said that he would pay for your hospital bill if you didn't sue him or give him a bad rating. Is that fair?" Jimin slowly nodded, still being unable to wrap the new information around his head. 

"Am I okay?" Jimin whispered. "Hm?" The doctor asked which Jimin just shook his head. "My family, do they know?" The doctor nodded, "your brothers are coming to Seoul actually. Something about an art school they transfered to. I think it was SOPA." 

That slightly brightened Jimin's mood. Knowing that his brother was coming. But the doctor said 'brothers'. Who else was coming? "Alright, looks like you'll be able to recover in 6 to 12 months. For your legs I mean." The doctor wrote some more on her clipboard calmly.

"6 to 12 months?!" The doctor seemed starled at Jimin's sudden outburst. "I- that means I can't do what exactly for 6 to 12 months?" Jimin had wide eyes peering at the doctor who's calm expression turned into a more serious, concerned look. 

"Not too much physical activity besides your physical therapy and you'll be okay. May even recover quicker than 6 months with the right sleeping habits and a nutritious diet." She offered a weak smile that Jimin would usually return, but this time was different. 'Not much physical activity'

A knock on Jimin's room door interrupted his thoughts and the doctor ent to answer it. "Mr. Park, you've got some visitors. Mind if I let them in?" Jimin nodded silently keeping his head down until he heard familiar voices. 

"Shut up Hobi! He might be sleeping!" 

"Yah! You're the loud one!"

"I shouldn't have come with you guys"

Jimin stared blankly at the three chaotic boys who entered his room noisily. "Hey! How are you? We heard about your injury, but don't worry, we'll be here all school year, so we can take care of you." Jin smiled with fixing the bangs in Jimin's face that were blocking his vision.

"You guys came all the way to Seoul for me?" Jimin had a puzzled expression across his face showing interest in the noisy guests. Jin smiled softly seeing his younger brother, "of course, but that's not all. We got accepted to the same school as you! We'll be starting the school year together."

Hobi nodded enthusiastically while Yoongi's face remained blank. Jimin smiled sadly remembering how he couldn't dance for at least six months. He didn't notice the tears slipping down his face until Jin rushed over to him with open arms, pushing Jimin's head into his shoulder gently.

"Hyung, what am I going to do if I can't dance? I came here specifically for the dance scholarship." Jin patted his head at an attempt to not cry while watching his younger brother. Jin glanced at Hobi and Yoongi who shared the same sad expression.

The door opened and the nurse walked in immediately sensing the heavy air. "I'll..come back later" Jin glanced back at his younger brother and patted his head gently with a kind smile. "Six months isn't long. Just enough time for you to get familiar with your surroundings and make some friends. You can probably join a different activity until you can dance, too. Don't worry, you won't suffer that much."

He offered a soft smile while Jimin tried to return it. 

After Jin and Yoongk talked with the nurse, Jimin was discharged from the hospital, being dragged away by his older brother and his two sympathetic friends. "Make sure to call of you need anything. Or if Jin hyung gets too annoying" Hobi jokingly whispered the last part making Jimin smile a bit while Jin swatted Hobi and Yoongi away from the passengers seat window, closing door and walking around to the drivers seat. 

They waved to their friends, before Jin drove off in the direction of thei destination. "Are you okay?" Jin asked quietly, keeping his eyes on the road. "I will be." Jimin answered. The rest lf the ride was silent. Partly because Jimin didn't feel like talking, and partly because Jin didn't know how to comfort Jimin. 

They arrived at a cozy looking home. Jimin was planning on staying in a house with a few other students instead of staying in a crowded, stuffy dormitory. Jin parked the car and the two boys got out, and rang the doorbell. 

"Coming!" A voice rang out. The door opened a revealing a tall man. He was quite stunning, with his light brown hair and glasses that fit his face perfectly. "Hi, how can I help you? Or are you the students that will be staying here?" He smiled showing off his dimples, friendliness written all over his face. 

"We are, I'm Seokjin and this is my brother Jimin. Nice to meet you." The man looked pleased and introduced himself as well. "I'm Namjoon, nice to meet you, too." Jin and Namjoon made eye contact longer than Jimin felt comfortable third wheeling. "Can we come in?" He asked sounding a bit irritated. "Oh, yeah sorry." Namjoon rubbed the back of his neck, awkwardly holding the door open woder and stepping aside for the new students to enter.

"My room is the one next to the kitchen. Other than that, they're all empty, so feel free to pick whichever room you like." He smiled at Jimin who ignored it and continued exploring the living room. "Sorry if he's coming off a bit rude, it's been a bad day for him." Jin assured Namjoon that nothing was wrong. 

Jin and Jimin settled down in separate rooms, and started unpacking and adapting to their new shared house. Jimin got interrupted, by a soft knock on the door frame since Jimin hadn't closed his room doors. 

"Hey, I forgot to tell you, there's going to be a meeting in the student hall tomorrow afternoon and another student will be moving in later tomorrow as well." Namjoon said smiling kindly. "I mean, just a heads up y'know?" Jimin nodded slowly averting his gaze as he was clearly uninterested. 

"Okay, I'll just be in my room incase you have any questions." He left before Jimin could say anything, although Jimin probably wouldn't have said anything anyways. Jimin ended the day, by finishing putting his things away, and mentally preparing himself for the next day.
