Finding Freedom

In the hospital

"Which do you prefer?" He looks at you excitedly. "Oh well, I like all of them, but my favorite would be the tteokbokki." he hands you a medium-sized bag with chopsticks. You looked at him confused "oh here," he grabbed a bowl, "put it in here." You poured it into the bowl, and he started adding sauces. "Here now, try it. The food was great. Once you all are done, eating. The boys start talking about their home and their mates.

"What are mates?" You questioned? The 3 boys turned to look at you. It was quiet for a moment. "Mates are a type of soulmate, a person you spend your life with." Jin finishes smiling at you. "Oh, okay, how many do you have?" Yoongi breathed in, "we have 7 in total for right now." You look at Yoongi. "Are they all the same?" He looked down, thinking of how to describe it. "Jin and Jimin are my mates. But I also have 4 more, and we are all together. They are also their's inculding me." You look down. "Oh, okay, thank you. I wasn't taught that." You keep looking down at your hands embarrassed. Later that day, you were reading a book when Jin came into the room.

"Y/n Would you like to come stay with us? I asked the nurse, and she said that you said you don't have any family." You look at your hands and start picking at them deep in thought. "We have a room for you already. Just in case you wanted to." You look up at him. "I'm not bothering yall?". You remember asking Min Jae to sleep with him? Being used to laying with Yun and him saying, "No one likes a bother. Sleep in your own room." You hear Jin start talking. "Why would we offer If you were bothering us, I promise you're not a bother." After hearing Jin, you think about it. "If yall's mates are okay with it. I am, too." You feel a pair of arms wrap around under your arms tensing up, you smell mint, "Yoongi, you're scaring her." He holds you tighter as much as you want to get out of his touch and run. You don't. Insted you feel yourself slowly relaxing, making Yoongi tighten a little more.

The boys went home at the end of visiting hours, leaving you alone with the beeping of the machines and your thoughts. [Why would they invite me to stay with them? I've been nothing but trouble Jimin having to carry me. Them worrying about me, wait, why were they worried about me?] You fell asleep thinking about all of this.

The next morning, you wake up to the nurse humming. "Hey, Sweetie, we are gonna tell you some things today. Prescribe you some medicine, and then you can go home, okay?" You're not smiling knowing who you're going home with. Jin, Jimin, and Yoongi came in. But another person came in behind them. You go pale because you know this man. It's the man who takes out the trash behind the restaurant. Maybe you were in trouble. The boys see your expression.

"Hey, hon, you good?" You look back and forth between the man and Jimin. Jimin laughs a little, "Hon. This is Jungkook, one of our other mates we told you about." Your breath picks up a bit, still feeling scared. The man is not small like Jimin, is taller than yoongi, and is bigger than Jin. But you noticed he too looked nervous. Jimin noticed, your breathing. He walks over and sits on the bed with you. "Hey, look, at me remember all the stories we told you about him the nicknames all of it remember?" You blink and slow your breathing down. "Yeah," he smiles. "What were your favorite ones?" You blink and slow your breathing down. "Yeah."  he nods his head. "What were your favorite ones?" You look at Jungkook, who gives you a slight smile. Showing his teeth, [he looks so cute] "Kookie and the time he helped the puppy on the streets and took him home." JungKook laughs in the corner.

"He's not a puppy anymore , he's pretty big." You smile. "Really, I love dogs so much, any animal, really, just not spiders." You shiver at the end of your sentence, showing your disgust. They all smile at you. At that moment, your nurse comes in with the doctor. Jin shakes his hand, "Doctor Chio. It's nice to see you. " He returns a smile. "It's nice to see you too Jin, how is everyone?" Jin laughs a little. "All good. You know, as good as it can be." Doctor Chio laughs.

"Yeah, well, Miss Y/n, we have been doing your blood work and looking at your CT scans. Do you take any type of medication?" You think about it remembering something? "I haven't taken them in 2 days because I ran out. But I have been taking anti depressants because I was told I had severe depression. So I was told i had to take them.".. "Well, miss Y/n. You do have mild depression but you do have hypotension due to the antibiotics, and you have severe panic disorder, which is why you are passing out when having a panic attack. So, for now, we are going to put you on Fluoxetine in small doses to help with that, okay?" You nod, "so I'm not going to be taking the anti depressants no more, but I will start taking a new one." He smiles at you,"Precisely." You smiled back. "Thank you, sir," he nodded. "As soon as you fill out these papers, you are free to go."

Jin helps you fill out the papers."we didn't know if you had any clothes, so we brought you some." You look a Jimin. His cheeks are a little red. "Thank you. I only had those 2 shirts, the jacket and pairs of pants." They all stare a bit. "Well, we brought you a pair of Jimins pants and one of Jungkooks shirts." Looking at Jin handing you a bag with said close. "I'm gonna go change, then" you walk away, blushing. Not knowing why, they didn't just buy you clothes like Min Jae did. You come out of the bathroom a couple of minutes later, the clothes being huge on you. The shirt is going down to your knees, and the pants are one size too big. The boys turned around to look at you and start laughing. Looking at Jungkook and Jimin, who were blushing while laughing. Jimin fell to the floor. "My pants are the smallest," looking back up at Jungkook. "I just really wanted you to wear my shirt." You look down still blushing, "It's okay, thank you," Jungkook nods and smiles.
