Fixing Us

Chapter 28: Lonely Interviews & Performances

Biting my lip, I'm stood between Jin and Yoongi as we wait to be called on stage. Looking down at my outfit, it's the same type of thing I've been wearing for the last month now. A pair of black ripped skinny jeans, gray sneakers, and Jiminie's gray hoodie.

"We have some special guests with us today! Everyone please give them all a warm welcome!" The interviewer announces.

We all look between each other, the boys looking to me as I nod before we all head out on stage. Yoongi is soon replaced by Jungkookie by my side as Jin stays directly next to me. There's a mixture of gasps and cheers as we all enter out.

"It's good to see all of you and to have you all out here!" She greets us, giving all of us a hug as we go by to take a seat on the couch and chairs.

"How is everyone doing? I see we appear to be missing a member and another band?" She asks as we take a seat. Jin pulls me to sit on the couch, Jungkook on my other side with Namjoon at the end. The other three are on the chairs behind us.

"We are missing Jimin, yes. Though we're not missing another band." Namjoon answers. Just the mention of his name brings me to tears. I bite my lip hard, ducking my head as I try to control myself.

"Now from what we've been seeing on social media, it looks like the seven of you have been spending a lot of time at the hospital this past week, right? Could you maybe give us a little insight as to why that is?" She questions. Namjoon looks over to me and Jin before he catches the state I'm in.

"Yeah, we've been there almost the entire week. It's actually why we wanted to do this interview today and why we have SJ here with us." He answers. She frowns in confusion.

"Well, let's start with the obvious question. Where is Jimin today?" She asks. Lifting my hand up to my mouth, I'm no longer sure that I can do this. Jin puts his hand on my leg for comfort while Jungkookie puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Jimin had a really... uhm... A really rough night Sunday evening. He had to be rushed to the hospital and was in critical condition when he got there. He's still there now actually, he's been unconscious since." Namjoon manages to get out.

"Why did he have to be rushed there? What happened?" She pushes gently. He clears his throat before speaking again.

"Like I said, Jimin had a really rough night that evening." He answers. I glare at him.

"Jimin got really bad news that evening and it had been something that's he's extremely sensitive towards. He ended up cutting himself and almost bled out. He almost died that night, that's why he was rushed to the hospital and was in critical condition upon arrival." I correct. The crowd gasps lightly at my words. Namjoon gives me a slight look of sympathy mixed with a look that says he was trying not to give that away.

"Don't give me that look, Namjoon. They deserve to know what happened. There's no point to hide it. It was going to be figured out eventually. Besides, everyone deserves to know that doing things like that is not something to be taken lightly." I snap at him.

"SJ, were you there that night he was rushed in?" She cuts the argument. Taking a deep breath as I feel a tear roll down my cheek, I nod my head.

"I was the one to find him and the one to take him there." I answer, my voice hoarse.

"Is there any expected timeframe as to when he might regain consciousness?" She asks next. I shake my head.

"Due to the amount of blood he'd lost, they're unsure of when he's going to wake up." Jin answers for me as I raise my hand up to cover my mouth again. Squeezing my eyes shut, I just want off stage so that I can sob. I don't want to be here. I don't want to talk about any of this.
