Shadows Of The Maknae

Chapter 11: Fractured Bonds

The next day, I was woken up by Jin tell me he had to check on my ribs. He lifted up my shirt towards my breasts as he gently pressed up against my ribs. Last night, he had discovered I had a fractured rib, since the impact of one of their elbows was so powerful, it was able to crack one of them slightly. With ribs, from what I know,, there wasn't really much you could do. You just had to stay in bed, not cause yourself any stress and rest until they are healed.

I was alone with Jin, which slightly terrified me as he was ordered to make sure I stayed in bed as long as I could without walking around and stressing out my fracture. It was an awkward silence as he pressed an ice pack against my side, making me wince from the sudden coldness. But what was even more cold was when Jin would look at me. I cleared my throat, trying to break the silence.

"Jin... can we please talk?" I asked hesitantly.

But he didn't even say a word. He placed my hand over the ice pack as he went over to the table on the other side of the room to sit down to write something down. He went to a nearby bookshelf as he handed me a book to keep my mind occupied, but he didn't even bother to look up at my direction. His silence was deafening and I knew that he still felt anger towards me about his fight with Jungkook. His lips had healed over night with his own treatment, but there was still some black and blue bruises underneath his right eye, which for a moment, made me feel really guilty.

"Jin please." I pleaded in a soft voice, hoping that it would catch his attention... Nothing. He was typing away as if I didn't even exist.

"I didn't mean for any of this to happen. You know how Jungkook is. His emotions got to him and he was upset. I know it's not right what he did and I am not defending him. I never meant for this to happen." I tried apologizing over and over again. Jin still kept silent, with his head down as he then opened a nearby laptop, continuing to ignore me.

Soon enough, the door swung open, revealing Yoongi. Jungkook's orders to Yoongi was to make sure that Jin was doing his duties of taking care of me. His expression was neutral... he was always so hard to read.

"Everything ok in here?" Yoongi asked as he leaned up against the wall by the door with his arms crossed.

"I'm trying to talk to Jin, but he won't say a word to me. I just want to make sure everything will be ok between us and its frustrating." I said with a huff as I moved the book off of my legs. Jin never took his eyes off of his laptop's screen.

"There's nothing to talk about." He stated, clearly annoyed. Yoongi then pulled up a chair and brought it towards the edge of my bed.

"Jin, Jungkook's orders are clear. You need to make sure she's ok." Yoongi said with a stern look. Jin finally looked away from his laptop but only to look at Yoongi, not at me.

"I'm doing my job just fine Yoongi. She's fine."

"It doesn't feel like it..." I said sharply, trailing off my sentence. This time he looked over at me with a scowl on his face, silencing me. This time it was my turn to look away from him.

"Alright, enough. Jin, talk to her and get this sorted out. I can't stand all this bickering." Yoongi stated, his jaw starting to clench in annoyance. Jin huffed, crossing his arms as was now had his attention fully turned towards the both of us.

"Fine. Y/N, what do you want to talk about?" I couldn't help but feel bad as I used Yoongi for Jin to talk to me. But I needed to talk to him so I could get this off of my chest somehow.

"I didn't mean to tell Jungkook your secret, Jin. He asked why I was stressed and worried about something and I couldn't keep it from him since I am now finally earning his trust. I was just worried about the both of you and it was a mistake and I'm sorry." I apologized, the words gushing out of my mouth. Jin sighed, his expression for once, finally softening.

"I appreciate the concern. But that secret is something I have kept hidden for a long time. It's not something I share lightly. I hope this situation doesn't happen again."

"I will try to Jin. I promise I will try to respect your privacy." Yoongi finally gave us both an approving head nod as he rose up from his chair.

"Good, now that is settled, I need to be on my way. I have a new mission we have to focus on." He stated as he was starting to leave the room.

"Just please be careful Yoongi, I don't want anyone else to get hurt."

"What sort of mission?" I asked out of curiosity. But I should've known that Yoongi would just ignore my question and leave without another word. He shut the door behind him, leaving Jin and I too ourselves once again.
