Between The Bloodshed

Chapter 26

Turns out, Jisung had bacterial meningitis (swelling of the fluid and membrane in the brain), which meant that he was in the hospital for the next week. Thankfully, it wasn't too serious as it was bacterial, not viral.

He was put on IV antibiotics to get over the infection and other medications that provided him symptomatic relief.

"Good job." You patted his head as he ate the medications. The boys were also asking for constant updates about Jisung's conditions. But Jisung made it clear that he still didn't forgive them so he didn't want them visiting him yet. However, you were their messenger, bringing their gifts to him for them.

"You know, aegi. The boys are worried about you too. They wanna come and see you. Give you their gifts personally, instead of through me." You stroked his head, gesturing to all the stuffed toys on his bed.

"I know, gomo. But they broke their promise." He sighed. It was obvious that he was still bitter about it.

"What promise?" You tilted your head.

"They promised me that they would protect you, And yet, you got hurt!" Jisung crossed his arms. You chuckled, kissing his cheek.

"Well, I don't know when this promise happened so that's between you and them. But don't you think they deserve a second chance? After all, look at all the nice toys they got you." You hummed. Jisung pondered for a moment, tapping his chin. You stared at him in fondness, he was the cutest being to ever walk the earth.

"What about you, gomo?" Jisung asked in between his sips of juice. You sat down beside his bed.

"What about me?" You blinked.

"Do you forgive them? Do you think they deserve a second chance?" Jisung asked. You were stunned by the 4 year old's questions. Did you forgive them? Did you even blame them in the first place?

"I do... aegi." You softened. Since Jisung had been sick, you had been talking with the boys again and honestly, it had been enjoyable.

"Okay, then I forgive them too." He shrugged, easily giving in. You smiled, patting his head. Suddenly, the door burst open and the 7 stood there with smiles. Your eyes widened in shock, wondering what happened. That was until Jisung burst out laughing, pointing at you.

"See? I told you." Jisung scoffed. The 7 boys nodded in agreement, with impressed looks on their faces.

"What? You... I... What's going on?" You were so confused.

"Oh, gomo. I forgave the samchons a long time ago. They came in after you left yesterday and asked me if I could help them get your forgiveness. So I agreed. They've been eavesdropping this entire time." Jisung explained.

"I am actually speechless." You revealed. 7 grown mafioso, at the mercy of a 4 year old, you never thought you'd see the day.

"(y/n)!" Jungkook bound over, giggling, as he wrapped his arms around you.

"So you're coming home to me and Kookie?!" He looked at you excitedly. He had the biggest smile on his face as he pecked your cheek, shaking you from side to side.

"Well..." You looked between Jisung, the other boys (who were glaring daggers into their maknae's head) and Jungkook.

"We're going now-" Jimin was pulling you but you glanced back at Jisung, not wanting to leave him alone. He waved at you with a smile.

"I'll see you tomorrow, aegi!" You waved as you were dragged out. The boys pushed you into their van and drove all the way home. They burst into the house and you greeted the maids and butlers on the way. They just greeted you with waves and laughs, seeing their masters so giddy. You bent down to pick Kookie up, scratching his head.
