Wait

Alternate ending

"Step outside and see
They don't know you like I do
They don't know you like I do

Not all of life is cruel
Not all of life is so untrue
Not all of life is so untrue

I can hear the morning birds
Light upon the branches
And each in turn
Sing of all God's praises
Without words
Without words

Don't turn it all inside
I don't like to see you cry
I don't like to see you cry

Whispered kisses in your ears
Touch so soft and warm
Confessions all of love for you
(Yes) Without words

Stare into the flame
Until you see beyond the light
All the while, truth was mine
It's with myself, I fight
Sin you've carried like a corpse
across your back these days
Let it fall away
Let it fall away
Let it fall away

I can hear the morning birds
So light up on the branches
And each in turn
They sing of all God's praises
Yes, without words
Without words" ~ Without Words, The Fault In Our Stars

Hours passed by in anxious silence as six boys, two families, and a CEO awaited the outcome of their beloved Taehyung. Finally late into the night Taehyung's Doctor emerged through double doors, awaking the few people who'd dozed off. Mr. And Mrs. Kim rushed up to the doctor, murmuring indistinctly before the doctor disappeared back through the doors. Taehyung's mother covered her mouth in a weak attempt to muffle a sob. Hoseok rushed over to the parents, anxiously asking "well? Is he okay?" Mrs. Kim nodded, happy tears of relief spilling down her cheeks. Hoseok stumbled slightly, the weight on his shoulders vanishing as relief set in. Mrs. Kim pulled her husband into a hug, crying happily into his chest while Hoseok could only smile. He backed up until he was standing before his chair, letting himself plop down as he closed his eyes. He couldn't believe it. Taehyung was alive. He was going to be okay. The remaining five members all smiled happily and hugged each other in relief, Namjoon kissing Jin's forehead "see? everything's gonna be fine Jinie" both Jimin and Jungkook sighed in relief, earning a small smile from Yoongi who ruffled the two younger's heads. The CEO calmly stood up, and smiled "I'll go by you boys some decent food to celebrate" with that said, the older man along with his two assistants disappeared around the corner to gather food. Jin pulled away from his boyfriend, patting Hoseok's shoulder with a comforting smile.

An hour later and everyone was gathered in Taehyung's room once again, waiting for the singer to wake up from his surgery induced slumber. Hoseok sat at his bed side, rubbing the sleeping boys left hand in hopes of gradually waking him up. The Kims stood patiently to Taehyung's right hand side, hugging each other in search of comfort as the minutes ticked by into a near hour. Quiet chatter amongst the six waiting boys, one set of worried parents along with the Jungs all creating a dull roar. Soon the door opened to reveal the CEO who handed out several boxes of pizza, the chatter livened at the delicious food, laughter being shared. Nearly another hour passed by as the Jungs told funny stories from Hoseok's childhood, earning continuous laughter. Soon however, Taehyung's eyes fluttered though it went unnoticed by the lively group in his room. He could hear their laughter, he ached to wake up and see that it wasn't a mere dream, but when his eyes finally cracked open the only thing that registered at first was the white ceiling followed by echoing laughter. He blinked, wincing ever so slightly as his eyes adjusted to the bright room. He realized that he was once again in a hospital room, he felt a weight on his left hand, and he could hear the laughter around him. Once his gaze settled on the room around him, his heart warmed and happy tears welled up in his eyes. He'd made it. He was alive.

{three days later}

Taehyung's lips stretched into a smile as he slowly emerged from his hospital rooms attached bathroom after changing into his own clothes, gripping the doorframe for balance as he stared at the people waiting for him. His parents smiled contently, and his six best friends stared expectantly at him. Taehyung's legs trembled from fatigue, but before his frame could collapse, Hoseok caught him. In a flash he'd been scooped up into his boyfriends arms, earning a blush from the younger. Taehyung would be released from the hospital that day, but he was still weak from the chemo treatments. He'd been diagnosed as cancer free, the transplant had been a success. And since he'd been away from his dorm for far too long, he'd decided to move back in, which meant he reluctantly had to leave his parents.
