Who am i? {Namjin ff}

Recovery

Clinic room-A few days later]

The sterile smell of antiseptic still lingered in the air as Yoongi pushed open the door to jin's room. The soft shuffle of his footsteps was the only noise breaking the calm, accompanied by the low hum of machines monitoring jin's vitals.

It had been days since the surgery, and though jin was improving, his recovery had been slow. The once pale color of skin had begun to warm, but the deep exhaustion was still evident in his features.

Yoongi:How are you holding up?
He asked as he entered carrying a small tray of food, knowing well that jin hadn't been eating as well as he should've been.
Jin was half sitting, propped up against the pillows, staring absently out of the window when yoongi approached. He glanced over, giving a faint smile.

Jin:I've been better
He said, his voice raspy but with a touch of humor, as if trying to downplay the pain.

Yoongi placed the tray on the table beside the bed, sitting down on the chair that had practically become his over the last few days.

Yoongi:you're supposed to be getting better, not skipping meals.

He muttered, a little sharper than intended.
Jin raised an eyebrow, but didn't argue.

Jin:I'll eat in a bit.

Yoongi gave him a look, knowing that jin was very stubborn, but he didn't push any further. They sat in silence for a moment, the weight of everything they had been through still heavy in the air.

Yoongi:You scared me, you know... You gotta eat, jin.

He finally said, breaking the silence. His voice was low.
Jin looked over at him, his expression softening.

Jin:i know... I'm sorry, yoongi.

Yoongi:it's not about being sorry.
He continued,
It's about the fact that we almost lost you...

Jin didn't respond immediately. He shifted slightly, wincing in discomfort as the movment tugged at the still healing wound on his side.

Jin:I've been through worse
Jin said, trying to sound casual,but the tiredness in his voice betrayed him.

Yoongi:You don't have to go through worse, jin.
Jin:we're still here, yoongi. Aren't we?
Jin let out a slow breath.

Yoongi's jaw tightened
Yoongi:we made it barely.

Jin:We survive, yoongi. We always have. And we'll keep surviving... Because we have to.
Yoongi:we have to.. Yea.. No one gives up

There was a moment of silence, but a few seconds later, jin broke the silence, attempting to lighten the mood

Jin:Besides hoseok would never forgive me if i gave up now. I've caused him enough headaches already.
Yoongi:yea Hoseok really was a hero during your rescue. The way he acted fast was one of the reasons we were able to treat you properly.

Jin: he always has played an important role in these situations.
By the way ,yoongi can i ask you something,?
Yoongi, confused but nodded
Yoongi:yea sure

Jin:What happened after you handed me over to seojun before confronting namjoon?

Yoongi's eyes widened. He was confused as to why jin would ask him something like this.

Yoongi:Is that what has been bothering you all this time?
Jin:(low voice) yeah kinda

Yoongi:well if me telling you the truth relieves your tension, I'll tell you. I slightly slit namjoon's throat to let him know i wasn't playing around and he if tries to hurt you or anyone again, he'll see what he's confronting.
Jin:You slit his throat?
