Jungkook knocked on Will's door.

"Come in!" She shouted. He opened the door. Taehyung was sitting beside her, smiling brightly.

"Today is your release day!" Jungkook exclaimed happily. She smiled.

"I know! I'm really happy. It's gonna be great to get out of the hospital."

"Mhm. We all missed you."

"Me too. I missed Mom and I can't wait to see her tomorrow." She said excitedly. Jungkook took in her beauty.

In the month that Will had been in the hospital, they hadn't kissed once. He deserved it. She didn't exactly want to be in a relationship with him, and he wasn't offended. He was afraid he would hurt her agains anyway. It was okay with him.

Will's healing process was slow and agonizing. She was constantly in pain. She was usually knocked out, as it was one of the only ways she could ignore her pain. Jungkook hated it. Taehyung hated it more. Will hated it most.

"How you doing?" Jungkook asked. Will shrugged, groaning in pain.

"Ow, I've seen better days." He smiled weakly. She grinned back to reassure him.

"At least you're getting better, right?"

"If you count having to remove one of my kidneys and my gallbladder, than I guess so." Jungkook cringed, looking away.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"No, don't be. You tried to warn me, really. This is my fault, really. I forgive you of everything, you don't need to apologize anymore. We all forgive you. Please Jungkook, don't apologize anymore." He looked back over at her. She was smiling at him, her eyes pleading with him to let it go. He sighed quietly.

"I'll try." He responded. She chuckled lightly.

"Good, I'm glad. I don't want you to feel guilty. All is forgiven." Taehyung cleared his throat.

"You gotta go get changed. Do you need help?" He asked. She shook her head.

"No, I think I'll be fine. Thanks, though." She carefully swung her legs over the edge of the bed. Taehyung helped her to the bathroom. There were clothes waiting for her inside.

"So I was talking to the others," Tae said, sitting on her bed.

"Yeah? What did they say?" Jungkook asked excitedly. He didn't talk to them much anymore, beside Jimin. Jimin was very close with Jungkook still.

"After the party tonight, they were talking about working out their differences, bringing back BTS." Jungkook jumped up happily.

"Really?" He missed his friends so much and he wanted to sing and dance with them again. He wanted to live in the dorm with them again. He wanted to be able to see the people he was closest to everyday. Taehyung smiled.

"Just a thought. I don't know if it will happen, but it's a thought, you know." Taehyung said. Jungkook nodded eagerly.

"But it's still a chance! It's better than nothing!" Jungkook did a small happy dance before Will came out of the bathroom.

"What are you so happy for? My release?" She asked, tying back her hair. Jungkook stopped dancing.

"Yes. We are all very happy about your release." Taehyung confirmed.

"Good. I'm glad you're all happy." Come on, let's go."

"Happy belated birthday!" Will's friends shouted as she went inside. She smiled, tucking locks of hair behind her ear.

"Thank you guys so much. This means a lot." She said quietly. Yoongi came over to her quickly.

"Are you okay?"

"Uhm... n-no, not really." She told him. He glanced back at Hoseok. Hoseok shook his head slightly, not understanding.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't think I'm going to stay here. I just need to go to my room and think. For a long time. Thank you for this, really. It... means a lot to me." She brushed past him and hurried to her room.

"She's moving to California." Taehyung told them.

"What?" Jimin exclaimed.

"Yeah. We've been talking about it nonstop for the past week. She doesn't want to stay here, and she doesn't want to see any of us for awhile, not even me.

"Them we'll give her the space she needs. I'll wait forever." Jungkook said, his faith to her unfaltering.
