Little Space

accident pt 2

They were all in the room when Jimin finally woke up. Yoongi immediately rushed to his side when he saw Jimin's eyelashes flutter.

He held Jimin's hand in his, lacing their fingers. Jimin looked up at Yoongi, his eyes glossed over.

"Hey, Jimin-ah." He kept his voice quiet. "How do you feel, sweetheart?"

Jimin licked his lips and looked around the room. Taehyung and Jungkook were sitting in a chair together, hugging. Hoseok was standing, frozen, like he had been pacing before Jimin woke up. Seokjin and Namjoon were sitting down, Seokjin looking like he had just woken up. Jimin met Yoongi's eyes.

"I'm... okay..."

Yoongi laughed, his eyes filling with tears again. "Yeah?"

"Yeah." Jimin smiled.

Yoongi kissed Jimin's head. "I'm glad."

Jimin's eyes suddenly watered. He sniffled quietly and looked down at his lap. He squeezed Yoongi's hand and whispered a soft, "Daddy."

Yoongi nodded, expecting Jimin to slip into little space at a time like this. "Yes, baby?" He brushed Jimin's hair, hoping to tell him it was okay.

"Everything hurts, Daddy..."

Yoongi nodded again. "I know, baby. It'll be okay soon. Daddy will see if they can give you better medicine."

"Th-thank you, Daddy. But why am I here?" Jimin asked, looking around again. Everyone was quiet, watching the two at the bed.

"You don't remember?" Yoongi responded carefully.

Jimin shook his head and rested his head against Yoongi.

"You got hit by a car, baby." When Jimin tensed, Yoongi spoke again. "You're fine, you'll be okay. I promise." Yoongi swallowed his tears and kissed Jimin's forehead.

Jimin took a minute before nodding. "Can Daddy cuddle me?"

Yoongi's lip quivered. "I can't, baby. It'd hurt. It'd hurt a lot."

The older watched as Jimin's eyes got wider and he made himself smaller, presumably slipping further due to the stress. "Diminie wants Daddy..."

Yoongi couldn't help the tears. Seokjin ran over and rubbed Yoongi's back immediately. "I wanna cuddle you too, baby boy. I can't. I'm sorry."

"Daddy won't hurt me... He wouldn't. Please?" Jimin mumbled, bringing his hands up to rub them together slowly.

Yoongi looked at Seokjin. He was giving Yoongi a disapproving expression. He looked back down at Jimin and smiled. "Once we get your meds, we'll see."

Jimin smiled, a tear slipping down the side of his face. Yoongi kissed the tear away.

"Daddy, please. It doesn't hurt anymore." Jimin smiled through the pain.

"Jiminie, don't lie to Daddy." He could see the pain in the way Jimin held himself up and tried not to wince.

"Diminie needs Daddy... to feel better..." Jimin pouted, about to cry again.

Yoongi kissed him again. "Okay, baby," he sighed.

"Really?!" Jimin smiled.

"Shhh. We'll see."

Jimin nodded frantically. Yoongi rounded the bed and carefully slid his arms around Jimin's waist. "I'm so sorry, baby boy," he said, trying to prepare him. He moved Jimin to the side as gently as he could.
