accident pt 1

"Y-Yoongi hyung!"

Yoongi perked up and got off the couch at Taehyung's scared tone he could hear from out in the hallway. He immediately opened the door to Taehyung and Jungkook's apartment and ran through it. Taehyung was running down the hallway, looking frantic. Yoongi waited for Taehyung to reach him. Taehyung fell into Yoongi's arms, crying.

"Taehyung-ah, what's wrong? What happened?" Taehyung just kept crying. Yoongi pet his hair, trying to calm him. "Taehyungie, you have to tell me."

"Y-Yoongi hyung, we were playing o-outside and J-Jimin—" Taehyung was cut off by the sound of a siren.

Yoongi let go of Taehyung and sprinted down the hallway. He descended the flight of stairs, taking three at a time. He could hear Taehyung sniffling and running behind him, but he didn't turn around.

Yoongi ran outside of the apartment building and whipped his head around. He spotted Jungkook near the edge of the road. He was on his knees and running his hands through his hair. Yoongi ran over and pushed Jungkook aside.

Jimin was laying on the road, eyes closed. He would have looked almost peaceful if it hadn't been for the blood on his face and clothes. Yoongi choked back a sob and put his hands on Jimin's face.

Jungkook put his hand on Yoongi's shoulder. "I-I called the ambulance, hyung. He just r-ran into the s-street."

Yoongi shrugged Jungkook's hand off. He turned and glared at him, tears in his eyes. "Y-You were w-watching him. You were keeping him safe! What the fuck, Jungkook?!"

Jungkook winced and backed up, holding his hands to his chest. Taehyung wrapped his arms around him. "I'm so sorry, hyung, I-I didn't—"

Yoongi just looked back down at Jimin and pulled the younger into his lap, moving his hair from his pretty face.

The ambulance came a few minutes later. They pulled Jimin onto a stretcher and put one of those ugly braces around his neck. Yoongi climbed into the back of the ambulance with him, holding onto his hand. Jungkook and Taehyung tried to follow, but Yoongi glared them down until they retreated and told him they'd meet him at the hospital.

The paramedics were in the back with Yoongi, trying to talk to him. He just held onto Jimin's hand and stared at his boyfriend's face quietly.

Yoongi woke up, his back cramping on him. He groaned as he stretched it out with arms above his head. He had been sleeping in the hospital chair for only a few hours. Jimin was stable, had been awake once, but Yoongi hadn't been in the room. He cursed himself for that.

Jimin suffered a few broken ribs, a broken arm, plus some deep scratches and abrasions. He would be okay after about a month, but the pain in his ribs was severe. The doctors kept him sleeping for a while with whatever drug they were using because of how much pain he was in. When he had woken up, he couldn't even talk because of the pain.

Yoongi was fiddling with his sock when Jungkook and Taehyung knocked on the open door, asking permission to come in. Yoongi glanced up at them and looked back down to his sock.

The two at the door took that as an invitation in. Taehyung rushed inside and started crying again when he saw his hyung in the bed. Jungkook walked over to Yoongi and sat in the chair next to him.

"Is he gonna be okay?" Taehyung asked, terrified.

Yoongi simply nodded. Taehyung let out a deep breath and stayed by Jimin's side. He rested his palm on top of Jimin's hand and stared at his unconscious face.

"Hyung..." Jungkook muttered. Yoongi looked up at him. "I'm really... really sorry..."

Yoongi shook his head. "It wasn't your fault. I shouldn't have blamed you."

Jungkook nodded and looked down. He knew Yoongi was being sincere, but he blamed himself anyway.

Jungkook and Taehyung went down to the cafeteria to grab food for themselves and Yoongi. While Yoongi was alone in the room, he noticed Jimin shifting.

He practically fell out of his chair to get to Jimin's bedside. Jimin's hand opened and Yoongi laced his fingers with the younger's, hoping to wake him up finally.

Jimin just let out a deep breath and stayed still. Tears sprang to Yoongi's eyes. He sniffled and kissed Jimin's forehead, moving back to his chair to wait once more.

"Why hasn't he woken up? You told me he would wake up! Why?!" Yoongi yelled.

The doctor put both of his hands up, trying to calm Yoongi. It had the opposite effect. Yoongi wanted to snap all of his fingers in half.

"Don't worry, sir. I'm sure he will be awake soon."

Yoongi could have growled at him. "He better fucking be."

"Sir, I'm afraid I can't—"

"He better be fucking awake and okay soon, or you and everyone in this goddamn hospital will fucking pay. If you did something to him—"

"I assure you we wouldn't hurt him. You just need to have patience, sir." The doctor's eyes pleaded with him to understand.

Yoongi pointed at the door. "Get out."

"Sir, I—"

"Get. Out."

The doctor sighed and turned away, leaving the room. Yoongi growled under his breath and went next to Jimin's bed. He held the younger's face in his hands and kissed his forehead gently, sniffling quietly.
