"Jungkook's injured. He cut his heel!" came a distant shout that had Jimin jumping off the stage where he was practicing his solo performance.

He ran through the passageway, following the staff member who'd informed them of the accident seconds ago.

Worry clouded him as he thought of Jungkook.

What if his baby was crying?

The staff member slowed down in his pace and turned left into a room. Jimin followed behind and his eyes fell upon Jungkook who laid down on the floor before him. Hoseok sat on a chair as he looked over at the younger, concerned while Jin stood beside Jimin.

"Hey," Jimin greeted, his expression sympathetic as Jungkook met his eyes.

The younger smiled, "hey."

"What happened?" the older inquired.

"I was stretching and I collided with the floor furnishings. I should have been more careful."

"That's okay. Sometimes things happen that cannot really be avoided. It was just bad luck that you happened to be there and hurt yourself while you were stretching," Jimin comforted when he heard Jungkook's tone that told him the younger was blaming himself for the injury. He wasn't surprised though.

Jungkook just hummed softly.

"It's ridiculous that I'm lying down right now," Jungkook laughed out.

"I'm glad you're laughing. I ran here worried you'd be crying," said Jimin gently.

"I almost did," Jungkook admitted, "thinking I couldn't go up on stage."
