The Bangtan Wall

Doctor In The House

(Trigger warning: discussion of abuse/assault) 

Once Jimin was sure they were out of earshot, he continued. "When he let her go to the bathroom, he noticed she was on her period. He became enraged for being denied what he wanted most, and that was when he started beating her."

Jimin can't sit anymore. He has to move, so he begins to pace aggressively, pushing his hand through his hair.

"As a form of punishment, he told her he would beat her each day till it stopped. He denied her food, only letting her have a couple of sips of water a few times a day."

Tears roll down Jimin's face as he stops pacing, trying to regain his breath. In distress, he tells them, "The day we found . . .fou . . . found her was the day after her cycle ended."

"That was why we found her tied to the bed. He had gone out to get food and drinks." Yoongi interjects this information to give Jimin some time to collect himself.

Jimin breaks down in anger, crying, "That monster wanted to make her celebrate with him what he was going to do to her! He told her he had been waiting years to feel himself slide into her!!"

He falls on his knees, sobbing and dry, heaving, "Damn him to hell!! He wanted to make her celebrate him raping her!!"

Concerned about Jimin, the others didn't notice that RM was busy texting on his phone.

Jimin's body shakes with the strength of his crying as he weakly says, "Aein, I'm so sorry." 

He is still talking, but they can no longer understand what he is saying as he curls in a tight ball, sobbing.

You told him things he couldn't share. He thought he was going to throw up.

Hearing Jimin sobbing, Jungkook and Taehyung ran into the living room. They gathered around to comfort him, knowing how much what happened to you was hurting him.

The doctor comes out and stands before them. Looking at Jimin, she asks, "Is he ok?"

 He lifts his head and wipes his eyes. "I'm, I'm okay. The important thing is, how is Lorrie?" 

"There is evidence, according to the color of her multiple bruises, that she has been hit over several days. I suspect she may have a broken rib, but her lungs sound fine. The best thing to do about a broken rib is to rest and let it heal."

 She begins to tell them the complete extent of her injuries, but Jin interrupts her. 

"Should I have the Maknae leave the room first?"

She looks at Jungkook and then back at Jin, "No, he's an adult and should not be sheltered about how harsh life can truly be." 

He stands and sticks his tongue out at Jin, "See, I told you I'm an adult."

 The other laughs at the irony of his childish behavior. 

Jin responds, "You will always be my baby Maknae." 

Jungkook rolls his eyes and sits back down.

The doctor tells them, "I gave her something to relax her and pain medication by injection." She reaches into her medical bag, pulls out two pill bottles, and hands them to Jin. 

"One is for the pain, and the other for stress. The bottles are labeled. She should sleep until morning, but if she wakes at any time after 1 a.m., you can give her one each of these," she says, pointing to the bottles.

"Yes, I understand, doctor." Jin says, "I will write it all down so we can keep track."

She smiles at him, "Thank you, Jin."

"I'll be right back. I need to get more fluids in her, and that is going to take me starting an IV." She gets up, and Tae goes with her to the door.

"Do you need any help?" he asks. 

She smiles at him, saying, "Sure. Thank you, Taehyung."

The others are discussing your injuries and what Jimin told them when Taehyung enters the house rolling an IV pole. He was followed by the doctor carrying two bags of fluid.

Not long after she went into Lorrie's room with Tae pushing the pole she put in the IV. Taehyung almost fainted.

"Taehyung, do you want to get one of the others to help?" the doctor asks, concerned.

He swallows hard to try to speak, "I can do this. Just show me what I need to do."

She explains, "There won't be any blood involved now, I promise." She pats his hand and shows him what to do.

"Oh, that's so easy. Just push one roller down to stop the empty and push the other roller to the line you marked to start the new." He smiles proudly.

Before leaving, she tells the others, "I have two IV bags hanging, and I showed Tae how to change them when one is empty. She should be good till I return in the morning. But you can let her eat or drink before then if she wants."

Tae holds the door open for her and says, "Goodnight, Dr. Leesch."

"Good night, Taehyung, and thanks for your help." 

This earns her a cute, boxy smile. The others call out their thanks and goodnights as Tae closes the door.
