Jungkook's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy. He was in his room, but he had no memory of how he got there. As he sat up, the events of the previous night came flooding back. Jimin, the werewolf, the amulet...

With a surge of panic, Jungkook threw off the covers and rushed to Jimin's room. He burst through the door, his heart racing.

Olga was leaning over Jimin's bed, her hands moving deftly over his bare chest. Jungkook's eyes widened in alarm.

"Olga, what are you doing?" Jungkook demanded, his voice low and urgent.

Olga looked up, startled. "Jungkook, you're awake. Thank goodness. I was trying to stabilize the amulet's energy within Jimin's body."

Jungkook's eyes fixed on Jimin's chest, where a faint glow emanated from the amulet. "Is he...is he going to be okay?"

Olga nodded, her expression serious. "I think so. The amulet is working, but we need to monitor him closely. The energy is still unstable."

Jungkook's gaze lingered on Jimin's face, his heart filled with relief and worry. He had saved Jimin, but at what cost?

Jungkook's eyes never left Jimin's face as he approached the bed. "How long have I been out?" he asked Olga, his voice barely above a whisper.

"About a day," Olga replied, her hands still moving over Jimin's chest. "You were exhausted from using so much energy to save Jimin. You needed the rest."

Jungkook nodded, his mind racing with thoughts. He had to make sure Jimin was okay, had to make sure the amulet was working.

"Olga, can I...can I talk to him?" Jungkook asked, his voice filled with hope.

Olga looked up, a small smile on her face. "I think that's a good idea. He's been stirring, trying to wake up. Maybe your voice will help him."

Jungkook's heart skipped a beat as he leaned over Jimin's bed, his face inches from Jimin's. "Jimin, can you hear me?" he whispered, his voice trembling with emotion.

Jimin's eyes flickered open, his gaze unfocused. Then, his eyes locked onto Jungkook's face, and a small smile played on his lips.

"Jungkook..." Jimin whispered, his voice barely audible.

Jungkook's eyes welled up with tears as he smiled back at Jimin. "I'm here, Jimin. I'm not going anywhere."

Jimin's gaze drifted closed, a look of exhaustion on his face. Jungkook's heart ached with worry, but Olga reassured him with a gentle touch on the arm.

"He's just resting, Jungkook. The amulet is still working to heal him."

Jungkook nodded, his eyes never leaving Jimin's face. He took Jimin's hand in his, his fingers intertwining with Jimin's.

"Jungkook..." Jimin whispered, his voice barely audible.

"I'm here, Jimin," Jungkook replied, his voice filled with emotion. "I'll always be here for you."

Jimin's eyes flickered open, his gaze locking onto Jungkook's. For a moment, they just stared at each other, the connection between them palpable.

Then, Jimin's face contorted in pain. "Jungkook...my heart...it hurts..."

Jungkook's grip on Jimin's hand tightened. "I know, Jimin. I'm sorry. The amulet is still adjusting to your body."

Olga stepped forward, her eyes concerned. "I'll try to adjust the energy. Maybe that will help."

As Olga worked to adjust the amulet's energy, Jungkook leaned over Jimin, his face inches from Jimin's.

"Just hold on, Jimin. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you."
