PART 57

Jungkook rushes to the hospital, his heart racing with worry. He has to see Yoongi, has to make sure he is okay. When he finally reaches Jimin's hospital room, he takes a deep breath and pushes the door open.

Yoongi is sitting beside Jimin's bed, his eyes fixed on Jimin's pale face. He looks up as Jungkook enters, and their eyes meet in a moment of silent understanding.

Jungkook rushes to Yoongi's side, wrapping his arms around him in a tight hug. "Hyung, I'm so sorry. I'm here for you okay?"

Yoongi's body is rigid, his eyes fixed on Jimin's face. He doesn't seem to be registering Jungkook's presence, his mind consumed by worry and fear.

Jungkook holds him tightly, trying to offer what little comfort he can. "Hyung, it's going to be okay. Jimin is going to be okay. We'll get through this together, okay?"

But Yoongi just shakes his head, his eyes welling up with tears. "No, Kookie. I don't know if he's going to make it. I don't know if I can lose him."

Jungkook's voice is firm and resolute as he holds Yoongi tightly. "Hyung, listen to me. Jimin is going to be okay. I promise you that. He's strong, and he's going to pull through this. We'll all be here for him, and for you. We'll get through this together, as a family."

Yoongi's eyes search Jungkook's face, desperate for reassurance. Jungkook's expression is unwavering, his eyes locked on Yoongi's.

"I promise you, hyung," Jungkook repeats, his voice filled with conviction. "Jimin will be okay. We'll make sure of it."

AFTER SOMETIMES.

Jungkook's voice is gentle but firm as he suggests, "Hyung, you should go home and take a shower. You've been here for hours, and you need to take care of yourself too."

Yoongi's eyes widen in protest, his grip on Jimin's hand tightening. "No, Kookie, I'm not leaving him. What if...what if something happens while I'm gone?"

Jungkook's expression is understanding, but he stands firm. "Hyung, I'll stay here with Jimin. I'll make sure he's okay. You need to take care of yourself, or you'll end up collapsing from exhaustion. Just go home, take a shower, and get some rest. I'll call you the minute anything changes."

Yoongi hesitates, his eyes searching Jungkook's face for reassurance. Finally, he nods slowly, his grip on Jimin's hand relaxing. "Okay, Kookie. But promise me you'll call me the minute anything changes."

Jungkook nods, his expression solemn. "I promise, hyung. I'll call you the minute anything changes."

AFTER YOONGI WENT AWAY.

Jungkook sits down beside Jimin's bed, his eyes fixed on Jimin's pale face. He gently takes Jimin's hand in his, feeling a surge of nostalgia wash over him. "Hey, Jimin," Jungkook whispers, his voice filled with emotion. "Do you remember when we are kids, and we use to sneak into the kitchen to steal cookies?"

Jungkook's eyes sparkle with memories as he continues to talk. "And do you remember when we go on that family trip to the beach? You build the biggest sandcastle I've ever seen."

Jungkook's voice cracks with emotion as he speaks. "Jimin, I'm so grateful for all the memories we make together. You're my best friend, my brother. Please, Jimin, don't leave me. I need you."

Jungkook continues with emotion as he speaks, his words pouring out from the depths of his heart. "We make a promise, Jimin. Do you remember? We promise that when we grow older, our babies will be besties. But if you give up now, that dream is never going to come true."

Jungkook's grip on Jimin's hand tightens, his eyes pleading with Jimin to come back. "Please, Jimin, come back to us. Your baby is almost here. Please don't give up now. You have to meet your baby, Jimin. You have to see the life you've created."
