he awoke to a world unchanged, and he wondered ... if no change had taken place, had a rebellion even truly occurred in the first place?

bright lighting, that's what jungkook awakes to. the first thing he notices is his vision, a blurred mixture of the blinding light and an array of dull colors - gray and an off blue fading into nothingness. the next thing is just how bad his head hurts, or well, it's his entire body really, but the first thing he notices is the painful thumping in his head. and then, it's how dry his eyes are, like two dry cotton balls stuck to his sockets.

simply put, he feels awful.

"looks like he's awake." a voice says, but in jungkook's ears it's a faint echo that makes him frown as he tries to blink to adjust his vision.

the next he knows someone is pulling his eyelids apart and shining a light in them that makes him want to curse, except his mouth is way too dry.

"his vitals are fine. he probably needs some eye drops and a glass of  water." someone he guesses is the doctor says, before his eyes finally adjust to find a gray haired man, with kind dark eyes and pale green scrubs staring down at him, "welcome back mr. jeon, it's nice to finally be awake again, isn't it?"

jungkook nods, because it's the only thing he can do really, and the action sets of a series of pin needle-like pains streaming through his neck.

"are you in any pain mr. jeon?" the doctor asks, allowing the nurse room to get by. she holds the cup to jungkook's lips and not seconds later, the singer gulp down its contents, thankful for the cool liquid that refreshes his parched mouth. once he's finished the water, he pulls his head back, the nurse smiling at how cute he is when he smiles bashfully at the stray drops of water that roll down his mouth.

"everything hurts." he says finally, a hoarse whisper even now that he's hydrated. and man does talking hurt too. the doctor shares a very grave look with the nurse then, the nurse herself looking nervous before she shakes her head and leaves with the cup of water.

"well, it's good that you're awake. we're still awaiting the results of the last of your tests, but don't worry about that right now. just relax for the moment mr. jeon. oh, and also, you have a few visitors." the doctor smiles kindly at the mention of visitors, but jungkook is still a bit too disoriented to notice the last comment. he isn't even paying attention when the doctor leaves finally, clipboard in hand. not even a second after the door closes behind him does it open again.
