Who Are You? [] PJM & MYG YoonMin []

☆Twenty Five: Bittersweet Awakening☆

Nearly a month passed as March turned into April. The air was still cold and so was Jimin. Not just physically as he trudged through the front door of his dark home. But emotionally.
There had been no change in Yoongi's condition, though Jimin visited and bothered the doctors every day. The image of Yoongi laying in a hospital bed, the rhythmic whir of the respirator was burned into Jimin mind. Never leaving. Never fading.
When he wasn't at the hospital, he was at Park Enterprises. His body uncomfortable in the suit he was forced to wear. Endless days passing by in a blur of paperwork and business meetings. The voices of his coworkers no more than white noise in his ears. He felt hollow and unlike himself. He wasn't himself. He was just a robotic shell. Going through the movements but inside he was empty.
His only breaks were the lunches he was able to spend with Heechul. The elder always bringing entertaining conversation and over dramatic but funny reactions. As well as his nightly dinners at the hospital with his hyungs and Yoongi's mother and brother. Jimin growing close to Yoongi's family as he visited Yoongi daily. The one thing he could be appreciative of.
"You're home late," Jungkook greeted as Jimin made his way into the kitchen.
Jimin nodded to the Maknae, who was up late playing videogames again, "Yeah, it was a long day at work."
Jimin saw the frown on the youngers face before he turned away to pull a bottle of soju from the fridge and grabbing a soju glass. Turning back and taking a seat on the couch, near Jungkook. Pouring himself a shot and gulping it down, already used to the burn in his throat.
"Why do you keep working there, Hyung? You did all you needed to do. You should come back to school," Jungkook's almond eyes looked at Jimin warmly, sincerely worried for his brother and friend.
Jimin sighed, pouring and knocking back another shot before replying softly, "Because of the deal I made with my father. He'd give me the money to buy the shares of Kang Corp I needed only if I agreed to work with him at his company."
"Don't you miss it?" Jungkook asked. "Dancing?"
Jimin took another shot before getting up and trudging to his bedroom to sleep, "Every single day."

Months passed as winter rolled into spring. The skies were bright and the air was beginning to warm. Flowers were blooming. The streets became busier and businesses stayed open later. Couples were being formed with love in the air. Everything was coming to life.
But Yoongi... Was still asleep and Jimin was still broken without him. A glitching robot, going through the motions as he does his father's bidding. Heechul being his only friend in the corporate jungle Jimin was forced to face. Jimin had simply forgotten who he was.
The heads of the fellow company reps snapped in Jimin's direction as his cellphone chimed loudly in the middle of the meeting. Jimin grabbed his phone, apologized to his fellow coworkers before handing the phone to Heechul to answer outside the room. Within just a few minutes, Heechul hurried to Jimin's side and whispering something in his ear.
Jimin stood immediately, looking to the faces around the room, "I have to leave."
Without wasting another beat of breath, Jimin was out the door. Running down the stairs of the corporate building. Heechul right behind him as they ran through the parking garage. Too frantic to remember where they packed the car earlier that morning. The only thing Jimin could hear or think about was Heechul's voice in his ear.
"Yoongi-ssi is awake."

Even inside the car, Heechul weaving maniacally through the traffic, Jimin was antsy. He wanted to be there. He needed to be there. He needed to see him.
Jimin's heart thundered in his chest at the sight of rehab hospital in distance. The breathe quickly leaving his lungs as he clenched the door handle. Each approaching mile making him more anxious. A million scenarios ran through his mind like a TV drama.
