Jeongguk stared at the ceiling in the waiting room of Beijing General Hospital. He was still in shock from what had happened. Everyone was. They all sat in silence as they waited to hear back from the doctors.
Seokjin sobbed into his husbands chest, "What if she's-"
"She's not." He cut him off, "She's gonna be fine. Just like the rest of us."
"How are you feeling? How's your head? Does it hurt at all?" Taehyung sat back down next to Dallia after taking a trip to the food court with Jimin to grab her something to eat.
"I'm fine Tae." She smiled softly when he handed her a bowl of pasta, "How are you feeling?"
"I wasn't injured like you were." Taehyung shrugged, "I'm fine."
"Just because you didn't suffer from brain trauma doesn't mean you weren't injured. There's no way you're okay. None of us are." Dallia explained.
"I'm okay as long as you are."
She rolled her eyes, "You're insufferable."
"You love me."
"Stop flirting." Jimin stammered, "Tae, you're practically cheating on me right now. With my twin sister."
"Jimin." Tae narrowed his eyes at the boy, "We're. Not. Dating."
"Your loss bitch."
A doctor entered the waiting room, "Is the family of Lalisa Manobal here?"
Everyone stood up, "That's us!"
The doctor glanced at the eight people in front of her and gave them a small, pitying smile, "Lalisa just returned from surgery. Her vitals are stable for now but she can't breathe on her own at the moment. We aren't sure if she'll make a full recovery, if a recovery at all." She sighed, "You can come see her if you'd like."
"Wait," Seokjin said, "So you're saying she might not ever recover? What does that mean?"
"It means she'll need to be on life support for the rest of her life."
Jeongguk looked up in fear, "So she's.."
"I'm afraid there's a higher chance of her dying than surviving. I'm so sorry." The doctor said, "You can follow me to her room."
The band all followed the doctor into the room where they all anxiously entered only to find Lisa very much awake. Actually, she was arguing with the nurse who was trying to check her heartbeat.
"If I'm sitting here talking to you, I'm obviously breathing so beat it." She said slapping the stethoscope out of his hand.
"Lalisa Manobal!" Seokjin scolded, "He's trying to help. Stop acting like a child."
"Nice to see you too dad. And for your information, I am a child. I'm still a teenager."
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE ALIVE." Jeongguk practically screamed as he ran toward her bed, throwing himself at her. He wrapped his arms around her neck, "The nurse told us you were gonna die."
"I told her to say that."
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Namjoon exclaimed, "YOU TOLD HER TO TELL US THAT YOU WERE DYING?!"
"Duh. You really thought I could die? I'm practically immortal." She laughed, "You guys are so gullible."
"That wasn't funny at all." Seokjin deadpanned.
"I'm laughing." She retorted.
"Quit being a smartass, I'll pull the nasotracheal tube right out of you." Namjoon raised an eyebrow.
"How are you in such a good mood after we all almost just died in a plane crash?" Hoseok asked, "I feel like we should be concerned."
"You should be." The doctor said, "She's showing symptoms of severe bipolar disorder."
"Oh my god. Here we go again," Lisa rolled her eyes, "This shit happens every time I'm hospitalized. Next time just let me bleed out and fucking die."
"Lis if you're bipolar they need to treat it." Jeongguk explained sitting on the edge of her bed, "You can't keep running from this."
"Says who?"
"Says all of us." Dallia added, "We aren't gonna let you run this time."
Lisa groaned in annoyance, "I don't have bipolar disorder! I'm not a maniac!"
"Being bipolar doesn't make you a maniac. You do realize that everyone in this room has mental health issues, right? We're all the same."
Lisa was silent for a while, "If I were to have bipolar disorder - WHICH I DON'T - what would I have to do to get better?"
The doctor replied, "We were planning on putting you on meds along with giving your family instructions on what to look out for. Nothings going to change besides your mood. You're going to feel better."
She swallowed hard and looked at Jeongguk, "Its okay to get help, Lisa. We all want you to get better. You need this."
