Author's POV:

'It hurts...'
Yoongi slowly sat up on the hospital bed, wincing in pain.
"Yeah, okay thanks."
Namjoon was talking on the phone while Yoongi looked around for Hoseok.
'Where is he? Has he left already?'
"You're awake..."
Namjoon approached him.
"What happened to me?"
"Acute gastric perforation. The doctors did the surgery for you, and now you need to rest for a few days in the hospital. Thank goodness Hoseok was there this time."
Yoongi started to get off the bed.
"Eh? Where are you going?" He asked and took off the IV bottle from the hook.
"The washroom."
"Hold on, I'll help you."
"You can't go with me."
"But why-"
"Nope!"
He took the bottle from his hand and walked out.
'Is Yoongi okay? He looks completely drained...'

'What am I doing? Why didn't I tell him if I wanted him to stay so badly... Why didn't I say it... When did I become so sentimental...'
Yoongi was contemplating his choices when he heard a familiar voice.
"Ah, thanks a lot."
It was Hoseok. He was talking on phone with a bag in his other hand.
"Did you have a hard time looking for new employees... I'm so sorry."
'He's still here!'
He was delighted. A blush crept on his cheeks.
'Everything's gonna be fine as long as you're here. You certainly wouldn't do that to me.'
"Why did you come out?" Hoseok asked concerned about him.
"Gotta pee."
He handed over the bottle to him.
"What is that thing you're holding?"
"Your lunch."
"You made it?"
"What did you eat when I was away? How did you get a hole through your stomach?"
"Whatever that could make a hole through my stomach~"

(Washroom)

"Damn it, why is it tied so tightly..."
Yoongi was not able to untie the knot of his pants. Hoseok was staring at him.
"What are you looking at? Turn around! Now!"
"You can't take you pants off?"
He got close to him and whispered in his ear.
"Let me help~"
This resulted in Yoongi's face getting flushed. He pushed him away.
"Fuck off!"
"Hey! The needle's gonna come off if you keep pushing!"
He gave him the bottle and knelt down before him.
"Hold this, I'll help you out."
"You..."
He tried with his hands but it was of no use.
"Damn it! How did it get into a dead knot?!"
"How would I know?"
"This is too difficult... My fingernail's coming off!"
He decided to use his teeth.
"Might as well..."
"What the heck are you doing?!"
"Don't move! I'll use my teeth..."
Then, someone entered the washroom and got the wrong idea.
"Sorry for interrupting." He rushed out.
"..."
Finally, Hoseok loosened the knot.
"Phew... I did it~"
He got up.
"Go on."
Yoongi was just staring at him.
"..."
"What's wrong? Do you need me to hold you?"
He was now as red as a tomato. He went inside one room and slammed the door shut.
"You pooping?"
"Fuck off~"
"Have you gotten any toilet paper?"
"Shut up!"
Hoseok sighed and stopped teasing him.
"You should stop eating takeouts for a while."
"Am I supposed to just starve to death?"
"I'll cook for you."
"... What about your job?"
"..."

....
*When Hoseok was talking on the phone with his boss when Yoongi was resting in the room after operation*

"Boss, I'm quitting the job. Can you find someone else to take over for me?"
"Why? What happened?"
"I... A friend of mine fell sick. Thanks, I'm really sorry..."

....
"Actually, I know I'm quite useless myself." He replied.
"I couldn't provide you much help back then when we were working together."
"You don't like being with me?" Yoongi asked.
"No! That's not what I meant."
He suddenly opened the door and shouted.
"Then what are you talking about?! I just like being by your side, isn't that more than enough?!"
Hoseok was stunned at these words.
"Are you sticking with me only because I could be of use to you?!"
"?!"
