TOGETHER

NINE

The lobby of the Cambridge was empty except for nurses and doctors.

That until the doors opened to reveal the six of them--Hosoek, Namjoon, Taehyung,Jin, Yoongi and Jimin-- all dressed in black leather jackets and skinnies and converse on their feet---, not smiling but the air they brought with them was filled with warmth, laughter, friendship and family.

" We're here to see Jeon Jungkook" Jin states looking at the reception nurse over the rim of his glasses.

The lady does a double take of all of them and stares with wide eyes.

" A-all of you?" She squeaks.

Yoongi growled from behind Taehyung and he pushed the younger out of the way and marched up to the receptionist, shoving Jin off the side as well.

" Yeah, now don't bullshit with me bout fvcking hospital rules because I don't give a shit and I don't give a fvck. Now where the fvck is Jungkook's room?!!" Yoongi snarls at her and he doesn't even bother with taking off his shades.

His voice is scary enough.

" 1303" she blurts out with a blushing face.

They all leave her and Taehyung pats her on the back, popping his lollipop out of his mouth.

" I'm sorry bout that, and thank you" he says quickly before he hears Yoongi bark at him to hurry up.

Taehyung waves and then he makes haste.

Jungkook sits miserably in his hospital bed and he tries so hard not to glare at the boring beige of his hospital room

" This thing barely covers my ass" he whines sullenly to the nurse to draws more blood from him.

He doesn't even flinch, already used to the sting of the thick needles.

Said nurse just hummed and left, closing the door softly.

With a sigh, he settles back down on the bed. He's so tired.

Tired of fighting this, he just decided that he'd give it all up.

He's lived his life and had the pleasure of meeting six amazing human beings and he doesn't give a shit about the others. Not anymore.

" Guys...I love you, thank you" he whispers again into the air.

And then the door bursts open and he shoots up in alarm, totally forgoing his abdominal pain.

His eyes widen every time one of his friends step into the room wearing the biggest smiles--Taehyung, Hosoek, Namjoon,Jin, Yoongi---and finally, his heart lurches at the sight of Jimin with orange hair.

" G-guys?" He breathes in utter shock.

" Yeah dick-wad, you think you could away from us that easy did you?! Brat!" Yoongi mutters, but his suspicious wiping under his glasses makes Jungkook's lips twitch.

They all bombard the room and settle on various surfaces, with Jimin beside Jungkook on the bed.

" Don't ever do this again" Taehyung mumbles sleepily to Jungkook's blanket clad foot.

The jet lag finally kicking in and they're all sleepy, crashing right where they are.

The door opens to reveal that same nurse from the reception table, her face set in a grim line of disapproval of the young men all scattered across the room.

And Yoongi hops up, he crosses his arms, looking tiny but intimidating and she closes the door softly, scurrying away.

In the quiet of their sleeping friend's soft snores, Jimin clasps Jungkook's hand tightyly, as if he's afraid that Jungkook would disappear.

And Jungkook wants to stay as well...

" Jimin?" He breathes sleepily.

"Yeah?" Jimin murmurs and sits up quickly, looking down into Jungkook's pale face.

" I love you okay? I've always loved you. Please...don't..forget...about me..." Jungkook breathes.
