The whole room seemed to stop.
Yoongi couldn't help but feel faint, suddenly feeling very sick. The idea of Hoseok trying to kill himself was horrifying but knowing someone purposely hurt him was just awful and disgusting. By analyzing the faces of everyone else he knew they were thinking the same.
"...what?" Yoongi looks at Namjoon, the only one that had spoken.
"It's as I said. I never did overdose. You guys don't know this but," Hoseok stops before taking a deep breath because he needs to tell them this, he needs this feeling of guilt for lying to them off of his chest.
"Basically a gang has a bounty over my head. My dad was a huge gambler and apparently he was in debt to this gang," Yoongi can't comprehend what Hoseok is saying, shock and despair consuming him. Shock because he didn't overdose and despair because a fucking gang is going after him.
"After he died, I was the next one who had to pay for his debt. I'm surprised that they found me, I hadn't seem them in years." Hoseok finishes before finally looking up to see the reactions of his friends.
"That doesn't explain the drugs in your system from a couple days before the 'overdose'." Jimin says looking back at Hoseok. All they want is answers and he's going to get them.
"I'll admit..." Hoseok trails off before continuing.
"I do drugs, they're a way for me to forget everything...I'm sorry really!" He tries to sit up but is proven unsuccessful when Taehyung gently lays him back down. Tears start to well up in eyes because it's so humiliating having to admit his problems to his friend. He's the sunshine of the group, all he needs to do is smile.
Seokjin gathers him up in his arms, the position slightly awkward from his position beside the bed.
"It's okay baby, all we care about now is getting you better." Seokjin gently whispers to Hoseok being careful of all the cords connecting into the other. Yoongi agrees, all he cares about now is getting Hobi better.
"I don't deserve friends like you guys." Hoseok whispers, choking up in the middle of his sentence. Bottled up emotions seemed to finally be released and Hoseok couldn't stop from crying.
Tears dropped onto the cheap hospital gown looking like rain drops.
Yoongi, feeling like he's on auto-pilot, goes onto the other side of the hospital bed opposite of Seokjin.
The members all look up, not expecting Yoongi, the closed off one in the group, to pull Hoseok into his own arms, Seokjin not even resisting. It was a shock to all of them. Of course they know Yoongi loves them but he usually never showed any affection to them. They couldn't help but feel slightly jealous, even in a situation like this.
Hoseok snuggled into Yoongi's arms, feeling the bony body and rough, cracked, skin. He feels light headed again.
Yoongi sets Hoseok back down on the bed after feeling him go limp in his arms.
