Yoongi grabs his towel and clothes, and makes his way towards the bathroom to take a shower. He passes by Jeongguk, who stops him to report that dinner will be ready in twenty or so minutes. Nodding, he continues his walk to the bathroom as Taehyung approaches and challenges Jeongguk to a game.

Yoongi opens the bathroom door to be met with the sight of Jimin barely conscious in the bathtub, a puddle of blood surrounding him and even more dripping out of his thighs.

"What the fuck!" Yoongi screams, dropping his items and rushing over to the bleeding male. He quickly turns on the faucet to wash the blood off, running to grab the small first aid kit in the bathroom while the lukewarm water turns from clear to crimson.

Yoongi carefully washes all of the blood away, the cuts thankfully not bleeding anymore. Jimin watches tiredly, too weak to move. Suddenly Hoseok appears in the doorway.

"Hey Yoongi hyung are you okay? I heard screa-" Hoseok takes one glance at the artwork carved into Jimin's thighs before doubling over and retching in the hallway. Yoongi hesitates to help the puking male, but decides against it and turns back towards Jimin.

Once Yoongi is sure that Jimin's condition is stable, he swipes open his phone and dials Namjoon's number. Running a shaky hand through his hair, he waits on the younger to pick up.

"What's wrong?" Namjoon asks as soon as he picks up the phone. Yoongi only calls when something serious has happened, usually choosing to update the members on his location via text.

"Jimin is... just come quick. We may need to call an ambulance." Yoongi shakily reports, about to add more but Jimin starts lightly coughing. Ignoring Namjoon's worried shouts he ends the call, quickly throwing his phone to some corner of the bathroom and scooting closer towards Jimin.

Not really knowing what to do, Yoongi takes Jimin's small bony hand and holds it, hoping for the coughing fit to pass soon. It does eventually, Yoongi sighing in relief.

"Hyung..." Jimin whispers so softly Yoongi almost doesn't hear. Thankfully he does, giving Jimin's hand a small squeeze and telling him to continue.

"Hyung... I-I'm so s-sorry... I d-idn't mean to... to cut this deep this t-time... now I've dra-dragged everyone else down wi-th me... I don't de-deserve to be alive... please just l-let me die Hyung..." Jimin cries, Yoongi's usually ice cold heart shattering into millions of pieces.

The older opens his mouth to say something but no words come out. What is one supposed to say in a situation like this? Just tell Jimin that he's going to be fine and then continue on with life? That would basically be like stepping on a rusty nail and just putting a bandaid over it. Yes, the skin would eventually heal but there are bacteria that could infect the wound, which would cause permanent lasting damage over time if not treated.

That's why Yoongi wants to say something right now that will help the younger. He takes a deep breath and opens his mouth again, this time the words coming to him.

"Jimin, do you remember during the Wings tour when Jeongguk almost passed out?" The elder ends up asking. Jimin nods, remembering how frightened he was for their maknae.

"Imagine seeing Jeongguk like that everyday. Imagine how much pain he would be in, and imagine how it would make all of us feel having to watch him suffer," Jimin's brain processes what Yoongi has just said, tears almost instantly blurring his vision. At the sight of Jimin crying Yoongi almost stops speaking, but decides against it.

"That would hurt you a lot, right? Well, that's how all of us feel watching you suffer like this Jimin, except ten times worse. Please, don't do this to yourself. I know how it feels to want to disappear, and I know how people say it'll get better if you just keep going. But it doesn't, Jimin. Life sucks, and that's a fact. But it's what you make of the good things that count. Life might not be all sunshine and rainbows, but just remember that everyone else here is always here for you. We love you Jimin."

And with those few sentences, the weight of all he's done to himself hits Jimin so hard he forgets how to breathe.
