HER BELOVED

12

"Jin?" he slowly opened his eyes and raised his head, rubbing his neck. "Go rest, I'll stay" Namjoon smiled slightly, but Jin shook his head. "What time is it?" he asked in a sleepy voice and Namjoon looked at his wrist watch. "2:25am go to sleep Jin" Namjoon sat on the bottom end of Nao's bed. "Where's Tina?" Jin asked, entwining his fingers with Nao's. "In the basement, she's passed out" Namjoon shrugged with an indifferent expression.

"Did she tell you anything important?" Namjoon shook his head. "But Nao was right, the bitch is in love with you" Jin growled in annoyance. "I'll make sure she hates me when Nao wakes up" Namjoon nodded and ran his fingers through his hair. "How is Nao, any change?" Jin sighed and leaned back. He had been trying for hours to get a reaction out of Nao again, but there just wasn't any, no matter what he said or promised her.

"What will I do, Namjoon?" he looked at his friend, whose eyes were a reflection of his, tired, red and puffy. "I never imagined, I never even imagined what it felt like to depend on someone so much" Jin looked at Nao, kissing her fingers, something he kept doing, needing to feel the warmth of her body.

"She's everything I've ever been looking for Namjoon, if I knew I'd find it in your sister, I probably would have taken her away from you a long time ago" Jin smiled slightly dreamily. "With her everything is as easy as breathing" Namjoon smiled listening to his friend praise his sister with so much love and need in his voice. "In the morning, when I see her smile, the way she tilts her head before she laughs at a joke, or how she bites her thumb when she's concentrating. Those sweet sounds when she likes her food, how she bites her lower lip when she's angry. .." Jin's eyes filled with tears again.

"I am desperately in love with this woman and every little detail about her." Namjoon walked over and placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "If I ever find love, I hope it's like yours. I admit that when you admitted you were in love with her, I had some doubts" Jin looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Come on hyung, this is my little sister, you may be one of my best friends, but she's all that's left of my family" he justified, raising his hands defensively in front of him.

"It must be weird?" Jin asked with a wry smile and Namjoon shrugged. "It was at first, but I think I've gotten used to it, at least with most of it, I still feel like strangling you when you hint at what you do in the bedroom" Jin laughed softly, shaking his head. "I promise I won't share how you're going to get your nephews" Jin joked back. "Namjoon?" he grunted back. "She's going to wake up, isn't she?" the two looked at the face of the woman, for whom they felt, although different, equally great love. "She's Kim, hyung, nothing can bring her down" Namjoon assured him, praying he was right.

"Hey buddy, I brought you some clean clothes" Jimin placed a bag on the side of the bed and Jin gave him a grateful smile. "How is she?" Jimin asked, sitting down on a couch across from Nao's bed. "Same" Jin sighed and stood up, stretching the stiff muscles in his back and legs. "Why don't you get some rest, take a shower, sleep, you've been sitting in this chair since yesterday before lunch" Jimin advised him and Jin looked at him with a sad smile. "Would you do it if Tia was in that bed?" Jimin grunted in understanding and shook his head.

"I'm sorry Jin hyung, I wish I could tell you that I understand you, but the truth is I don't want to know exactly how you feel right now" Jimin muttered with his head down and Jin gave him a brief look before his dark eyes to return to the face of his beloved. "I just want my girl back, even if I have to kill the devil to get her, I will, but looking at her like this...it's like someone killing me and reviving me, only to kill me again" Jin sighed and stroked Nao's hand, sadly looking at her face for a sign that she was getting better.

"I just want..." he was cut off by the door opening and turned to watch the doctor and two nurses enter and approach the bed. "I'm going to ask you to step out for a moment" the doctor announced and Jin started to protest but Jimin pulled him towards the door. "Come on let's find you something to eat while they finish their work" Jin tried to protest again but he was too tired to fight Jimin. "Come on, hyung, Nao will get mad if you don't eat" Jimin pulled him more vigorously and Jin surrendered.
