"W-what?!" Taehyung yelled shocked at what the drug test results revealed. "I can't believe this..." He didn't understand it at all. Why did Jungkook have to do that?

"Are you going to tell the police?" Taehyung asked nervously.

"No, it's up to you, but we will not be held liable if you don't." Taehyung was relived.

"When can I leave then?"

"Uhh..."

"Uhh..?" Taehyung mimicked. He just wanted to know when he could leave.

"You see...the drugs have done some minor damage to your heart. Something could happen if you leave this early, and the closer you are, the faster we can respond, so I think it would be best for you to stay put." Taehyung stared blankly at the doctor.

"I mean, it's just a safety precaution so nothing's for sure."

I'm going to kill him

"I'm going to walk around for a bit," Taehyung said getting up from the bed. He thought Jungkook would still be lingering around. He wanted to wrap his hands around his neck at the moment.

Tears dotted the corners of Yoongi's eyes as he kept repeating to himself, "I need to go," for the past twenty minutes. Yoongi didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore. He wanted to be with Jimin.

He paced the room back and fourth, stopping at the window every so often to see freedom right before him. He observed the latch on the window and opened it.

Yoongi heard the door opening and flinched before turning around to find Jungkook standing in the doorway. "Hey. Just thought I'd visit you." Jungkook rubbed the back of his neck as he took a seat facing Yoongi.

"Sorry about last time, I was sensitive then. I'm okay now." Jungkook took a deep breath in and smiled at Yoongi. "So, what were you doing?"

Yoongi was going to say something, but he shook his head instead, feeling pain.

"O-oh... Do you have a phone?" Jungkook asked. Yoongi shook his head remembering his broken old phone that he had for years that was now gone. He barely started using it again and he broke it. "Well..."

As Taehyung was walking down the hall, he thought he'd say hi to Yoongi. He remembered Jiwoo calling him to check on him after she left with Jimin's brother because he had beaten him up or something. "Yoo-" Taehyung was cut off by another voice that was all too familiar to him, making him stop.

"Yoongi- um, hyung? Can I call you that?" Yoongi shook his head slowly, slightly blushing. "Sorry, can I ask you something?" Yoongi didn't say or do anything thinking he just asked him something already.

"I have this friend that I like, but he doesn't like me back. I don't know what to do or say to make him mine and it's frustrating. I need your help.."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow and stuffed his hands into his pockets as he walked over to sit next to Jungkook. He patted his shoulder making Jungkook feel slightly uncomfortable. "S-So, you'll help me, right?"

Yoongi nodded without hesitation. He always liked to help others in situations like this. It made him forget about recent events, and let him remember what it was like before bad things started to happened, and he kind of just wanted to know more about Jungkook for some reason. "Thanks."

Jungkook got up to leave quickly making Yoongi confused. "Oh, I don't need help right now, but I'll need it later... Can you promise me you'll help when the time comes?"

Yoongi nodded, but he wasn't completely sure if he could help with good intentions. Jungkook smiled and left, bumping into someone he knows.

"Oh hey...Jihyun?" Jungkook scanned the other boy in front of him. "Did you get beat up?"

Jihyun sighed and looked down at his feet before shaking his head. "Oh, but what are you doing here? Are you...here to see Yoongi?"

Jihyun nodded. Jungkook didn't even know they were close. "Okay...you know Jihyun, you should stay with me if you're having a hard time..." Jihyun frowned. "You shouldn't keep living with a girl. It doesn't look right. Give me your number...for when you need someone."

Taehyung hid behind the wall around the corner, shaking uncontrollably with a billion things running through his head. "What the fuck."
