He slipped did he now?

He slipped and was going to fall on his face, but Taehyung somehow managed to be there at the right place and time, and saved Jin.

That's all there is to it, like Jin hyung said.

He slipped...

"He slipped... really?! Jin hyung!" Yoongi shouted and punched the wall beside him, as soon as he was out of earshot.

The passing nurses and doctors gave him a look, some pausing mid-action to look at his hand before moving past him.

"I'm fine." Yoongi said, when he noticed a nurse approaching him. 

"Alright." The nurse gave him a small smile, and pointed to the side. "I'll be making the rounds on this floor. If you need a band-aid or just need someone to talk to-" The smile fell away, replaced with some concern.

"Let me know."

"I'm fine." Yoongi repeated and turned away from the elderly nurse, whose eyes were filled with a familiar emotion, of pity and care for the stranger before her. 

Yoongi didn't hate the lady for being kind and offering him a helping hand. It was in their job description, and something they did every day. He just wished it wasn't out of pity, though.

The pitiful ones, were the two he had left behind, one in the parking lot and the other in the room where their late leader's body had been kept. Those were the two people needing all the kindness in the world, and it would still not be enough to heal the wounds carved onto their hearts.

Yoongi let out a sigh and sat on the bench beside the reception desk. 

Jin hyung had outright lied to his face, to Yoongi, about everything that had happened in the parking lot. 

Sure, Taehyung had given a different name to Jin hyung, and the elder didn't know any better. But the other thing? The fact that Jin had bought a bottle of poison, and was planning on ingesting the silver, harming himself and his baby...how could he lie about it to Yoongi's face? 

Was Yoongi not worth his trust? Did Jin really think Yoongi would rat him out to Jungkook? 

To do such a thing, in such a secretive manner... if Taehyung hadn't found out about it, what then?

Jungkook would have lost two more family members, and Yoongi-

He had kept his feelings at bay, for an eternity, it seemed like, and he would continue to do so. 

Still, knowing, how his sweet Jin hyung, had come close to meeting with an untimely death, it...made Yoongi's insides freeze, just thinking about it.

If he would have lost Jin tonight, maybe...maybe Yoongi would have resorted to something equally crazy. Something like what Jungkook was doing now.

The only difference is that, Jungkook still has someone else to blame for, about losing his brother. Yoongi on the other hand, only had himself to blame if something were to happen to Jin on his watch.

It would have been due to his carelessness, because he didn't look after Jin hyung, well enough.

"Who is it?"

"Huh?" Yoongi looked to the side, at the speaker.

He was a middle-aged man, with his hair thinning at the front and some whites peeking near his ear. His nose was tipped red, and his eyes were wet with lost tears. Beside him, a woman was resting her head on his shoulder. A married couple? Family?
