the genie «yoonmin»

59

"Jin!" Namjoon looked down at the siren who had his eyes closed and was breathing heavily. However, he was still alive and conscious and that gave the group hope.

"H-hyung!" Jungkook and Taehyung joined Namjoon, forming a circle above Jin's head.

"Don't look so sad, idiots!" Jin moaned from the pain. "I'm not dead yet..." He tried to smile but the pain didn't let him to do so, he just held onto his wound, pressing hard on it.

"Jin..." Jimin mumbled as he stared blankly at the bleeding male. His brown orbs were vigorously shaking as he couldn't help but find the terrific scene oddly familiar. His hand found its way to Yoongi and tightly held it. Despite the fact that Yoongi was in almost as much shock as the others, he looked at Jimin, trying to understand how he felt. The genie was obviously upset and kind of anxious. Yoongi noticed that it took all his will power not to cry just like Tae and Namjoon.

"We..." Namjoon tried to speak between his sobs. "We need to take him to Clucia! Fast!" He then took a small bottle with the familiar green potion inside. "Jinnie, I know it hurts, baby, but please! Drink this." He shoved the bottle to Jin's lips. They couldn't carry him to Clucia if he had his tail out. It was impossible.

"Well, I'm sorry to break it to you..." Minhyuk interrupted the sad scene as he was grinning down at the others but his eyes were strangely watching Changkyun's which seemed to be filled with only dispair at the time. "But I can't let you go. You didn't do your part of the deal."

Hoseok glared at the sand spirit. He rarely got angry and that was why people would call him sunshine without even thinking about it. But, you know, even the sun has its bad days and times when it just wants to punch everyone in the face or more like cause them headaches because of the strong heat and light.

"Listen now, Sandy. Our friend is dying and all you have to day is that you won't let us pass because some stupid flower!?" Hoseok snapped as he trudged angrily towards Minhyuk. He threw the orchid at him not caring that he may anger the sand spirit. "You have it, now let us pass!"

Minhyuk stared down from his sand cloud at Hoseok. He could feel his eyes getting wetter than usual but held it back. He hated being weak, especially having the fact that there was no place for weakness in the desert. That Jooheon won't think it's cool. He was forgotten once. Jooheon had already chosen another... Someone who couldn't even stay with him till the end, someone who wasn't even on his side. In a few words, Minhyuk envied Changkyun, despite the fact that the boy was currently heartbroken and left in a state of shock.

"Whatever." Minhyuk sighed, feeling he had no strength to argue with the animal tamer and just activated the portal in front of them. A small sand storm formed between the two curved arcs. "You can pass."

Namjoon carefully placed Jin on one of the camels trying to get him comfortable and after everyone was on they made their camels move forward and enter the portal. Changkyun was last to pass and he could swear he could hear a 'lucky bastard' from behind his back as he entered.

There was a bit more before they reached Clucia but Jimin doubted Jin would be able to make it. His breathing was becoming weaker amd weaker with every step the camel took. His eyes looked glassy and that was why the siren preferred to keep them closed. He was trying to calm down and didn't find it that hard.

"You know..." Jin started as Namjoon was on his left side and Jimin on the other, right one. Jin swallowed hard as if trying not to cry from pain. "After so many years of living trapped... Ugh... Inside that... Lake..." He took a deep breath and coughed, a few blood drops coloring the sand under the camel's feet in bright red. "M-maybe... It's time... I... Go..."

"No." Namjoon sobbed and held tightly onto Jin's limp hand refusing to let go.

Jimin bid his lip.

Maybe it's time... You continued... Without... Me...

He heard the ancient words as if they were spoken at that exact moment. His head started aching just from thinking, from sadness, from his own useless character. If Jin died, he would have failed again. Again? It happened before? Jimin couldn't remember but just from trying to do so his head was getting heavier and heavier, the pain slowly increasing.

"Jimin?" Yoongi closed the genie with a worried expression. Jimin's crying face hinted him that the genie had finally broke. He could take no more. So Yoongi did the only logical but unexpected thing at that moment. "I want my second wish."

"Yoongi, are you nuts!?" Jungkook exclaimed from the other side. "Jin is-" He hiccuped and tried to surpress a sob but failed, showing his vulnerable side even though he didn't want. He composed himself and continued. "He is dying." His voice sounded muffled, so far away to Jimin as if he wasn't supposed to hear it or at least refused to do so. "And you!" Jungkook's voice suddenly became more powerful than his previously soft and broken one. "You are thinking about wishes!"

"I am." Yoongi sighed. His brother was so stupid at times honestly. "Jimin. Can you do it?"

Jimin stared with glassy from crying eyes. However, those eyes were also filled with unexplainable hope. Maybe it was just his genie self who lived granting wishes and felt as if he was finally helping somehow. Or maybe it was just his mind hoping that Yoongi actually had a plan with how to help. Jin's current state wasn't the nicest to watch after all. Without even noticing it himself, Jimin nodded his head still not taking his eyes off Yoongi's darker ones.

"I want you to heal Jin."
