Taehyung felt Jungkook's body relax in his arms and his breath became more even.
"Jungkook?" he tried to move him so he could see his face, but he didn't get a response, he had fallen asleep or fainted, he had no way to tell.
The phone rang again, Taehyung carried him to the bed and then picked up the phone. The receptionist explained to him that the roads were cleared and were safe for driving.
Taehyung hurried to pack everything while he was on the phone with Jimin and Jungkook's father.
"I will come along with an ambulance to meet you half way" Jin explained, Taehyung mentioned that Jungkook had woken up a little while ago, he left out their brief interaction but told Jin that he appeared to be disoriented. Jin knew that this was not good for Jungkook, but he didn't want Taehyung to be under more stress than he already was, he simply encouraged him to finish packing up as quickly as he could so they could leave.
Within twenty minutes Taehyung was fastening Jungkook's seat belt, he had only opened his eyes for less than a minute and then slept again.
Taehyung was getting more concerned but Jin assured him that Jungkook was going to be fine.
The rain had also stopped so Taehyung was able to drive faster, he kept switching glances between the road and Jungkook.
Almost an hour later, he could see lights in the distance, he let out a breath of relief. Everything that followed felt like a blur and as soon as Jungkook was placed on the bed in the ambulance and Jin started to examine him, Taehyung felt as if he lost all the strength he had left as he stumbled to the ground.
He could hear faint voices asking if he was fine, "I want to go home" he said when they suggested to take him to the hospital, "I want to go home" he repeated to his cousin who was now helping him get on his feet.
The paramedics had to examine him to make sure he had no serious injuries before allowing him to leave, he had a few cuts around his legs that they cleaned up and advised him to come to the hospital if he felt unwell.
Jin would have preferred for Taehyung to come to the hospital with him just to make sure they didn't miss anything, but he decided not to insist, considering all that he had asked of him already, he had given Jimin his contact information and asked to call if Taehyung wasn't feeling well.
Taehyung said his goodbyes and got in the car with Jimin, the ambulance went ahead of them. Jimin had questions but seeing the state his cousin was in, he decided it can wait.
**************
Jungkook was kept in the hospital for two days, no visitors were allowed besides his family, but his parents did not let Haneul see him until he was doing better.
Jungkook slowly opened his eyes and scanned the room, he was in the hospital and immediately felt a slight pain on his forehead, he tried to rub it only to discover that there was a bandage.
Events from last night were slowly coming back to him, how he crashed into the tree and then fell off another tree, "that explains the bandages" he thought.
He looked around for his phone, but he couldn't find it, he looked at the clock on the wall, it was past eleven in the morning, he decided to remain in the bed, he figured someone would come to his room sooner or later.
It has been a while since he dreamt of Taehyung, he thought to himself, but last night's dream felt so real, but it wouldn't make sense for Taehyung to be out there with him, he surely must have imagined the whole thing.
His plan to remain in the bed was becoming impossible when he had the sudden urge to go to the bathroom. He threw the bed covers to the side and swung his feet to the side of the bed.
He yelped in pain when he tried to stand and sat back on the bed, he looked down at his foot, there was a foot brace on it, he must have fallen on his foot too, he thought. He figured he can just hop to the bathroom since he really needed to go.
He was almost at the door when a panicked nurse told him to stop, "wh-what are you doing? please get back in bed" she instructed. "But I really need to use the bathroom" Jungkook explained, failing to stand straight.
"I can help you with that-" but before she finished talking, Jungkook managed to open the door and close it behind him.
With nothing else to do, the nurse ran out to get the doctor.
Twenty minutes later, Jungkook was still laying in his bed listening to the doctor who wasn't his father explain to him what had happened.
He did not remember having woken up in the past two days, but he did, although only for a few minutes.
"You are fine now, the medication you received is what made you sleep a lot, but it was needed because of how much time had passed since you hurt your head, we will keep you for one more day and tomorrow you can go home" Jungkook nodded as he listened.
The doctor also did a couple of examinations, shone light in his eyes and the nurses checked his bandages. "Your father is performing surgery right now, he will come and see you as soon as he is done the doctor said before leaving.

Jungkook looked over at the food on his bed side table, it has been sitting there for the past twenty minutes, he had taken a few bites but he could not eat more.
There was a small knock at the door, "come in" he said. For a moment it looked like a bouquet of sunflowers was moving on its own ,when from behind it came the face that he has been waiting to see.
"Appa!!" Haneul said in excitement , "Oh, my princess" Jungkook said as he held his arms out for her. Namjoon walked in after her with Jin beside him, he picked her up and placed her on Jungkook's lap who then held her in a warm hug and started kissing her all over her face.
"I missed you" he finally said
"I missed you too Appa, look" she said showing him the flowers she brought. This made Jungkook smile and get teary eyed, "oh honey, thank you" he said burying his face into the flowers.
"Remember us?"Jin joked. "Of course, how could I forget my very devoted doctor and rescuer" Jungkook said with a bright smile, this made his parents laugh.
"You are never driving again" Joon said as he sat on the side of the bed, "it was the rain" Jungkook protested, "well, you are never driving in the rain again" Jin added, they all laughed a little.
"How are you feeling?"
"I feel alright, it's just my foot"
"How about your head?"
Jungkook moved his head from side to side, "it doesn't hurt, except for this" Jungkook said pointing as the bandage.
"O, yeah, you have a cut there" Jin explained.
Jin took Jungkook's hand in his "you really scared us last night you know" he said, "I am sorry" Jungkook replied, "but it's not your fault, the weather was just really bad" Joon said. They sat in a comfortable silence for a moment with Haneul laying on Jungkook's side.
"By the way dad, how did you find me?" Jungkook asked, this made Jin raise an eye brow, "you don't remember?" he asked, "remember what?" Jungkook asked,switching glances between his parents.
"Okay, how about this, did you have any unusual dreams? Jin asked, it was normal for someone who has had a concussion to confused reality with dreams and sometimes they don't remember anything at all.
"As a matter of fact , yes" Jungkook said scratching his head, "well that might no have been a dream after all" Jin said, Jungkook chuckled in disbelief, "you are joking right?" he asked, to which Jin shook his head.
"Hmm?" Jungkook blankly looked around. Did this mean Taehyung was actually the one who found him?
His thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door "come in" Joon said.
"O, I am sorry I can come back later"
"No, it's fine, come in" Jungkook said with a smile.
His parents didn't recognise the new comer, "o, this is Baekhyung, he is my senior" Jungkook introduced him, Baekhyung turned to greet them.
"How are you feeling?" he asked Jungkook.
