ten—

jimin walked in silence beside jungkook, the feeling of satisfaction spread throughout his body, running in his veins and warming him from head to toe. he was content.

despite his near death incident with jaehyun and the other two guys, he felt far better than before. he was clean, and as far as he could tell, the warm water might have actually helped his throat feel better and stop swelling. he had gotten so far as to be able to hum a song to himself, and he was glad.

hopefully the people at the infirmary could help him get his voice back, which was where the two of them were heading now. jungkook had told him while they changed back to back, that there was a specific nurse in there who could be perverted at times. so he was advised to be cautious around the nurses and the rest of the workers inside since he didn't know who it was yet.

"how does your throat feel? can you talk at all yet?" jungkook murmured softly to him. jimin looked at him and shrugged. he sucked it a small breath and attempted to speak.

"it's better," jimin croaked, smiling weakly at his own attempt to speak. he looked up at jungkook and saw he was also smiling. presumably glad he could speak at least small phrases.

"well it's good that it's getting better," he said to him. jimin nodded. he was also thankful he could speak because if he couldn't speak he couldn't communicate with literally anyone. there wouldn't be anymore hilarious conversations with hoseok or gossiping with jin, and he wouldn't even be able to speak with jungkook.

he frowned at the thought, glancing at him out of the corner of his eye. the thought of not talking to jungkook made him saddened, after all their conversations were always enlightening for him. they always made him forget about the sad reality that he would have to go back to when he left this place.

jungkook tugged lightly at his arm, pulling him out of his thoughts. he gestured to the double doors in front of them. they were at the infirmary. jungkook held the door open for jimin, and he went inside with jungkook following after him. they were greeted by a woman at a small desk, glaring at a computer screen intensely. she began typing furiously on the keyboard, before clicking on the mouse multiple times like her life depending on it.

jimin glanced at jungkook quizzically and saw that he was most definitely annoyed. jungkook cleared his throat loudly and the woman jerked her head away from the screen, looking at the pair in surprise.

"oh jungkook," she smiled. "what can i do for you?"
