Taehyung made Jimin and Jungkook go home to sleep since they stayed up all night with him.
After a day of rest, Jungkook and Jimin drove back to the hospital. It was crazy how familiar all of this felt. How can Taehyung constantly get this hurt when he is anything but kind?
When they got into the room, they saw an officer shaking Taehyung's hand. Taehyung looked nervous but calmed when he saw his two friends enter.
"Hey, what's going on?" Jungkook asks when he goes to sit down next to the bed on the left side. Jimin sits down on the right after kissing Taehyung's cheek.
"Hello. I'm here to ask questions about what happened."
He asks Taehyung the first question, "So tell me the whole story if you can."
Taehyung nods and shifts nervously, "Well, he's my father. He, ummm, abused me for a long time. I then ran away and now I live with my friend," Taehyung says.
"Boyfriend actually," Jimin clarifies.
Taehyung chuckles, "Yeah, boyfriend. And everything was fine for a while until I found out he was looking for me. I then found a note that was in Jimin's room saying that he has found me."
The officers nods as he writes down things on his notepad.
"So, I got really scared. I wanted to scare him so he would leave me alone," Taehyung says, his voice cracking.
Jimin puts a hand on Taehyung's shoulder to give him comfort. "So, I got the gun that I knew was hidden..."
Taehyung pauses when he relies that Jungkook could get in trouble if he says it was his. He nervously swallows. He's going to have to lie to a police officer.
"...In my dads house. I went into the living room, aiming the gun at him to scare him into leaving me alone, but that didn't go as planned," Taehyung says, his hand shaking from fear.
Taehyung doesn't look at his friends, not wanting to see their reaction.
"He snatched the gun out of my hand when I started to cry in fear and then he started to shoot. I remember hearing multiple shots, but I guess only one got me," Taehyung whispers, looking up at the officer who stops writing.
"Okay, well, I think this is enough evidence for now. I promise that your father will not be around anytime soon."
Taehyung nods, "Thank you, officer."
The officer walks out, making Jungkook jump up and look down at Taehyung with confusion, "You took my gun!?"
Taehyung shrinks and nods.
"Why?" Jungkook asks, worriedly looking into Taehyung's eyes.
He was upset that Taehyung even considered using a gun, but now all his hopes for getting money was gone. Just like that.
"I-I wanted to scare him," Taehyung says.
Jungkook sighed and sat down. He put his head in his hands frustratedly.
"Jungkook, what's going on?" Jimin asks, looking over his stressed state.
Jungkook sat up and took in a deep breath, "It doesn't matter. I'm just overreacting."
Jungkook glances at Taehyung's and Jimin's worried faces and decided that they didn't need to be bothered any with his problems.
Jimin raised his eyebrow.
After a few hours of talking, Jungkook acting like everything was fine, they finally left to get some lunch. Taehyung telling them he just wanted a burger.
Once they got into the car, they just sat there. Jungkook curiously looked over at Jimin, "Are we gunna go?"
Jimin sighs, "Jungkook, tell me what's wrong."
Jungkook is about to be nonchalant but he looks at Jimin's caring and concerned eyes. Jungkook doesn't hold back his sadness as his lips start to wobble. Jimin is alarmed but doesn't make any sudden moves yet.
"I need help, Jimin."
Jimin nods, "With what?"
Jungkook looks away because it hurts to say it, "I need some money."
Jimin feels like he's been knocked down. Jungkook must really be in trouble if he's asking for help. Jimin remembers his hostility with money.
Jimin nods, "Of course!" He doesn't understand why Jungkook would be embarrassed about it, because Jimin doesn't care about pride.
He pulls Jungkook closer, making him look at Jimin, "Don't be embarrassed. I don't think less of you, Jungkook," Jimin says, wiping away Jungkook's stray tear.
Jungkook pulls Jimin into a hug, "Thank you so much."
Jimin just hugs him tighter. Jungkook really needed this. He needed to break down and he needed comfort. Jimin was just glad he wasn't closed off.
"This is a pretty intimate moment," Jungkook chuckles into Jimin's ear.
Jimin hums, "Fellas, is it gay to comfort your homie?"
Jungkook pulls back with a big smile, slapping Jimin's chest, "I really hate you."
Jimin makes a thinking noise, "Yeah, I think you're full of bullshit."
Jungkook just chuckles, wiping his wet eyes, "I am. I really do love you, Jimin. Even if I act like I don't. Don't want you to fall in love with me or something," Jungkook winks.
Jimin smiles, "That would be hard. And anyway, if I do fall in love, I call being the top."
Jungkook gapes, "Uhh, no! You are not topping me. I do not top. Period."
Jimin raises his eyebrow, "You think I do?"
Jungkook looks Jimin over, "You're small and curvy. Perfect bottom."
"Is that like... homophobic?"
"The hell?"
"What?"
"Do you know the words you use?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you mean stereotypical?"
"That's a big word."
Jungkook laughs, "That it is."
Jimin sighs and looks away from Jungkook, "So, should we like... go get food?"
Jungkook nods, "Yeah, I'm starving."
Jimin starts to drive out of the parking lot, "Okay, so how much money do you need?"
Jungkook shrugs, "Doesn't matter. I don't really want to talk about this. Later okay?"
Jimin nods, "Okay."
They drive for a while longer.
"You're totally right, you could never bottom."
"Glad you know the truth."
"Fuck you, though."
"Pretty sure I would be fucking you, though."
"I will stop this car."
"Bet."
