26: you want to live

As Taehyung was walking down the hall he spot Jihyun standing by the door and slowly made his way over... That is, until he heard several crashes from inside the room.

Taehyung's eyes widened as he ran over to Jihyun who just stared into space like nothing was wrong and everything was calm.

"What's going on in there?!" Taehyung yelled at Jihyun, and when he faced the older he was surprised to find Taehyung looking so angry. He wondered what he did wrong.

Taehyung shook the younger's shoulders, a habit of his he's had since he was a child. "Dude! Can you not he-" Taehyung stopped talking remembering Jihyun was deaf. "Sorry."

Everything in the room went partially silent, but Taehyung could faintly hear Hoseok yelling. He finally barges into the room and sees Yoongi on the ledge of the window.

A fear he didn't know he had filled his mind and his heart started to pound hard against his chest.

"Yoongi!" Taehyung yelled, then inhaled sharply since he had forgotten to breathe. He strode over to Yoongi who didn't even flinch when Taehyung called him, but reluctantly looked over at him.

As he took in the younger's appearance he began to worry, but tried shaking it off.

"Yoongi, please come down from there?" Taehyung asked nicely with a hint of desperation.

Yoongi shook his head slowly. "No, I can't handle this anymore. I want to die already. I should already be dead," Yoongi whispered. He slowly loosened his grip on the window as he looked down and the less than heavy breeze hit his face.

"That's a lie," Taehyung snapped.

"If your truly wanted to die, you would talk! Yell! Scream even, but you choose not to," Taehyung says recalling what he'd heard from the doctor.

Yoongi looked over Taehyung, dumbfounded that he knew this much, that he knew he was only half bluffing. How can someone like Taehyung even care enough to figure it out when no one else did?

"You want to live, Yoongi, so stop talking and let me handle it." Taehyung bravely stepped onto the window seal, wrapped his arm around Yoongi, grabbed Yoongi's wrist quickly, and yanked it from the window pushing him inside.

As they stepped down, Yoongi cries, forcefully pulling away when Taehyung pulled him into a hug, not caring that Yoongi started to hit him.

Taehyung just held him tighter and eventually Yoongi gave up and cried into Taehyung's chest, hugging him back.

Hoseok stood there completely useless after having watched them. Taehyung just basically stepped outside the window almost, risking his life for Yoongi while he did nothing but watch. "I'll- I'll go get the nurse!" He said and ran out the room bumping into a frozen Jihyun.

Jihyun slowly stepped out too, feeling like a third wheel. And once the door was close, it was just Taehyung, and Yoongi in his arms. Taehyung moved them both to sit on the bed.

"Let me handle it, Yoongi," Taehyung repeats. "I'll make you happy."

Yoongi's cries begin to soften more as he drifts off to sleep and Taehyung runs his hands through Yoongi's hair.

-

Yoongi fluttered his eyes open and saw that Taehyung was gone. He rubbed his eyes feeling himself about to cry again when he realizes Taehyung was still there.

He must have still been sleep, and dreamt he wasn't there anymore.

Yoongi turned over and faced Taehyung's wrist. The red hospital bracelet he wore was the same as his, meaning, he already had a surgery. Yoongi wondered what it was for...

When Taehyung woke up he felt his hand being intertwined with Yoongi's and smiled.

Yoongi didn't even realize what he was doing, but it looks like he's finally ready to let someone in,

and heal him.
