Chapter 10

Head down, eyes filled with tears while ears got sealed with the sounds of a stroller squeaking on the hospital floor. The clean wounds under his bandages itched but he couldn't be more worried about the situation he was in

"The reports are clear. No bone fractures, just minor head and body injuries. You have to stay at the hospital for tonight and tomorrow you may leave"

"Can I m-move around? Like do garden work?"

"Not for a week. You'll feel pain throughout those days and your wounds need to be out from any dirt. You can shower with warm water"

The nurse completed his task by clipping the last bandage around Taehyung's ankle who couldn't be more grateful for the fact that there were no major injuries to Jeon Jungkook instead of his own health. The teen had his head hung low but as soon as he heard the verdicts, he felt relieved

But the concern of Taehyung literally throwing himself in the hands of death to save him didn't seem to bug his mind as the main concern for him was how he would answer the questions that Mr Min asked him. Yes, besides him was seated none other than yoongi who had his brows frowned and lips sealed together, giving a heavy kind of air around him.

After getting his sense back from that sudden accident, Jungkook was too panicked to think about what should he do. He was being held by Taehyung so protectively that even his hands didn't have any injuries other than a cut near his waist and ankles. But Taehyung was covered in blood. From his forehead to his arms, waist and legs.

Jungkook never faced such a situation. He kept on crying while glancing around. Taehyung was losing consciousness but he knew that he couldn't just leave Jungkook alone in such a bizarre situation. So he with much difficulty just pulled out his phone which was very securely hiding inside his chained hoodie pocket and opened it with his password before giving it to Jungkook, asking the teen to call Min yoongi which he did instantly

Min yoongi was the closet person he knew in this town and Taehyung believed that the man would surely come with the needed help

"Who was driving the bike?"

That question came from a police officer seated at the end of the bed on a chair. Jungkook flinched at the question as he squeezed his eyes. That question was directed to him after all.

Taehyung tried to speak up but Yoongi's sharp gaze stopped him from doing so.

"Answer me kid" The officer sounded so cold and by seeing Jungkook panicking, he realized that the teen never really talked with any authority beforehand. "Look if you don't answer then I have to call your parents"

"T-Taehyung H-Hyung was driving"

"Did he influence you to ride with him?"

"K-Kind of but I went o-on by myself later"

He finally answered, feeling more scared than guilty at that point. He just wanted to get out of this crisis, didn't matter if Taehyung had to face serious charges for luring a minor into this and driving without a helmet.

"Is that True mr Kim?"

Taehyung gritted his teeth in pain before looking at Jungkook's trembling figure. He kind of felt hurt but he masked it with the logical arguments instantly. If he were in Jungkook's place he would do the same, well unless the police officer was unknown to them but in this case, he was one of Yoongi's friends and Min called him so that Taehyung and Jungkook could be out of such a tangle easily. Jungkook knew kind of but still he decided to put such blame on the adult, thinking that it was the right thing.

Self-defence, he was just a kid. Taehyung calmed himself down by thinking about those.

"Jimin please buddy. Drop this case. I'll talk to them"
