JIMIN POV

Jimin wasn't sure what happened.

One moment, he'd been
standing against the wall,
feeling hopeless.

He didn't even know why he looked up but when he did he almost didn't believe his eyes.

Jungkook was there.

"Kookie?" Jimin called his
name without even thinking, without even knowing if he
was really there or if this was some kind of crazy dream.

But no.

He wasn't dreaming.

Jungkook really was there.

And he had heard Jimin's
voice.

"Kookie." Jimin repeated,
trying to make himself seen
past the crowd of people
milling around in front of him.

"Over here."

"I"m here, babe." Jungkook called back, scanning the
faces in front of him.

"I'm here."

Jimin could see Jungkook's
face light up the moment
they made eye contact.

It was like the sun had finally come out, like he could breathe again and think again and he couldn't help but smile
as Jungkook closed the
distance between them and pulled Jimin close.

"You're really here." Jimin
said, his voice muffled by
Jungkook's shoulder as
Jungkook squeezed him tightly.

"I was worried I'd be here
by myself for a while."

"I came as soon as I could."

"As soon as I saw your text."

Jungkook pulled back and carefully looked Jimin up
and down.

"Are you okay?"

"What happened?"

"I thought... I thought you were..."

Jungkook's brow furrowed and
it took a moment for Jimin to understand what he was trying
to say but then it clicked.

He'd thought that Jimin
was in the hospital?

God, Jimin couldn't even remember what he'd sent in
that message.

It all seemed like it had happened ages ago, rather
than in just the past hour.

"It's Pop." He replied, feeling tears spring to his eyes again.

"I'm fine."

"I'm good, It's... we were at Rocket and he started having trouble breathing."

"He said he was okay but I
could tell he wasn't, Then he grabbed his chest and—"

The last word was lost in a
sob as he buried his face in
Jungkook's shoulder again.

Jimin had done a pretty good
job of holding it all together,
of being strong and holding
back the tears all morning.

But now with Jungkook
here, he could finally let go.

"It's okay, babe." Jungkook
said, rubbing Jimin's back
as he held him.

"I've got you."

He waited until Jimin had
pulled himself together enough to at least stop crying before asking about Pop again.

"Do you know what happened yet?" Jungkook asked.

"Have they told you anything?"

"Not yet." Jimin shook his head.
