I'm Your Only Hope

Alive

There he is. Dark eyes glistening under the fluorescent lights, smiling dismissively as his members pat and console him. Ami freezes in the doorway, but Hoseok rushes right in, leaning over to give Suga a gentle hug before stepping back, eyes glistening.

"Hyung," Jungkook asks as if they're in the middle of a conversation. "What day is it?"

Suga blinks, trying to think. "Is it not Friday?"

Jungkook's eyes widen. "It's Tuesday."

There's a moment of silence before RM jumps in. "How was he supposed to know that, Jungkook? Ask him stuff he should know."

"What's my name," Taehyung asks excitedly, his own weakness temporarily diminished over Suga's recovery.

Suga blinks at him with concern. "What happened, Kim Taehyung of BTS?"

A sigh of relief sweeps through the room before Taehyung answers gratefully.

"I was shot. Jimin-hyung, too, but we're going to be okay. Jimin's still asleep after surgery."

"Jimin?" Suga frowns, looking around the room in evident confusion. "Who's Jimin?"

"Hajima," Ami shouts, her voice cracking. Suga jumps, his eyes meeting hers. She scoffs and points at him accusatory. "Haven't we worried enough about you?"

"Oh, jinjja?" He chuckles. "Mianhae, I - "

Ami throws herself on top of him in a hug.

"I'm sorry," she croaks, trying and utterly failing not to cry. "I'm sorry you had to do that! Ya, michyeoseo? Do you think you're Superman or your Anpanman or whatever?"

"Mianhae," Suga croaks awkwardly, patting her back.

"Mianhae? Mianhae! You almost died!"

He chuckles awkwardly then finches in pain.

"Ya, Go Ami," Seokjin chuckles. "We all almost died."

Ami leans up slightly to shoot him an annoyed look. "Did any of you face off with a shooter, though?"

Taehyung raises his hand weakly while Jungkook glances at Jimin.

Ami sniffs and waves them off dismissively.

"Ah, bulla! Suga jumped out of a window for Hoseok-oppa! None of you did that."

She tightens her arms around Suga's shoulder awkwardly, pressing her face back into his pillow to hide her tears.

"Don't ever do that again," she growls into his ear.

"Wae," he chuckles. "Wasn't it heroic?"

"Ani," Ami says, sniffing and leaning up off him so she can look him in the eyes. "Leave the heroics to the superhumans, ne?"

He scoffs, rolling his eyes. "Hoseok's alive, isn't he?"

"Ne," she says, voice hitching. She leans back over to give him another hug.

"Aren't you going to get off me," Suga asks.

"Ani," she responds, then sits up briefly to scan his body. "Am I hurting you?"

"No, it's just weird."

Ami huffs and settles back into the hug, mostly to annoy him. "I wasn't raised to fear physical contact."

"I'm not afraid, I - " He stops, then clears his throat. "There's something I should tell you. It might be important."

"Is it life or death," she says, rolling her eyes. "Because I'd really rather not care."
