Jimin woke up to plain white ceilings and the smell of medicines. He noticed Taehyung and Jin sitting on the chairs next to his bed, heads drooping uncomfortably.

"What-" Jimin looked at his hand to see an IV tube attached to a bottle of saline solution.

As he sat up, he noticed another figure on the floor. Jungkook was asleep with his head leaning against the wall, legs crossed in a sitting position. For a moment Jimin forgot about his IV tube and tried to stand, causing him to hiss in pain as the tube got pulled.

Jungkook's eyes opened and when he saw that Jimin was awake he immediately stood up. His legs made cracking sounds and he groaned as he stretched his arms. His neck was stiff from having slept while sitting all night.

"Jimin hyung," his voice was soft as he approached Jimin and made him lie back down. "I told you to eat and stay healthy."

Jimin gulped and looked at his hands. "I did. I just went for a short run."

Jungkook sighed and got Jimin a glass of water.

"Tae hyung said you were out for two hours. Don't push yourself like this."

Jimin looked Jungkook over as the latter sat on his bed. Jungkook's eyes were swollen and his hair was a mess. Unconsciously Jimin reached out to flatten his messy mop of hair. Jungkook took in a surprised breath but did not stop Jimin. He loved the feeling of Jimin's hand in his hair. It gave him comfort and peace.

"I'm sorry," Jimin whispered, catching Jungkook's attention. Jungkook turned to face Jimin, hands holding Jimin's.

"What for?"

"Making you worry, making all of you worry."

Jungkook shook his head and ruffled Jimin's hair. A soft yet sad smile graced his face as he looked at Jimin.

"No hyung. You have nothing to be sorry for. Just, please promise me you will eat well from now on."

Jimin nodded without hesitating and Jungkook pulled Jimin by his head into his chest.

"Aish," Jimin muttered but still made no move to push Jungkook away or get out of his hold.

This time Jimin meant his promise. He would eat well. He had troubled the members enough.
