After asking Yoongi, Jimin finally got Hoseok's home address, and drove there as fast as he could. Anxious thoughts swirled through his mind as he got closer to the apartment, and when he got there, he felt his heart fall onto the ground and shatter into pieces.

The door to his apartment was broken off of its hinges, and there were a bunch of messy boot prints all over the hallway leading to a bathroom.

The bathroom floor was covered in dried blood, and littered with several small metallic blades that Jimin could only assume belonged to Hoseok.

Jimin bends down and picks them up, then proceeds to place them in his pockets.

It was time to go to the hospital.

"Room 203, floor #2." The receptionist tells him with the fakest smile he'd seen all day. He doesn't even acknowledge her, just repeats her sentence over and over in his head.

After taking the elevator, Jimin reaches the door which supposedly has Jung Hoseok inside of it. Jimin feels sick with worry, and leans against the wall outside of the room. Will he even be strong enough to see the boy he's in love with lying on a bed with bandages everywhere?

Taking several deep breaths, Jimin finally gathers himself up as best as he can, and enters the room.

The heart monitor is beeping obnoxiously every so often, but that's a good sign. What isn't a good sign is Hoseok.

The older boy is laying lifeless on the white hospital bed, a mask on his face to regulate his breathing. Bandages are wrapped around both of his arms and Jimin can see the faintest hint of blood oozing out from the wounds beneath.

Hoseok's skin is so pale, almost as if he truly did die in that bathroom. His dark brown hair is wild and unwashed, and his eyes are shut tight. His eyebrows are furrowed as if he's irritated.

"He looks cuter in person than on social media." Jimin thinks to himself, almost smiling.

Hoseok's eyes flutter as if he heard what Jimin was thinking, and one of his eyes open.

"Hoseok." Jimin says, quietly. The older boy's eyes are both open wide now, staring in disbelief at him. "Why..."

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jimin whispers, his voice cracking and tears welling up in his eyes.

Hoseok bursts into tears.
