Mental

35 (8 months later)

Taehyung heard nurses click their heels through the hallways, opening multiple doors to check on patients.

Today was the day he'd leave his hallway.

He had been stuck for months, waiting for a release date to go home.

He wasn't allowed to travel to other sides of the hospital because it was sectioned off.

Why? Because the other side of the hospital was for the mentally ill.

Taehyung himself felt like he should belong there. He kept begging his personal nurse to let him get a checkup.

The answer was always no.

Taehyung was in the hospital for numerous reasons.

For one, he hurt his head pretty badly at school by running into a tree.

Secondly, the doctors messed up on fixing his head so he had to stay longer for them to correct their mistake.

Thirdly, he intentionally fell down the stairs in one section of the hospital due to how numb he was. He wanted to feel something.

Fourthly, he once tried to jab a fork in this throat while eating lunch, he had to be restrricted from the cafeteria.

And fifthly, he jumped over the railing connecting stairs to a concrete base floor, falling on his head causing more damage to fix.

It would take months to heal, which was why he was still in the hospital.

His head wrapped in white bandage.

He had to socialize with someone or he'd try hurting himself again. It had been four days and he was a bit scared to try again.

The nurse wasn't enough.

He got out of his bed, not caring if cameras were around in the hallway.

He left his room, quickly heading down the hall and risking being caught.

Taehyung pushed himself through multiple doors, reaching the other side of the hospital he was forbidden from.

Everything...looked different.

More bland and..depressing.

And there weren't even small viewing windows on patient doors, it was all just solid white.

Damn..even Taehyung's side of the hospital had more color and life than this side.

No one was around, surprisingly enough.

Taehyung wished someone was around..anyone other than a doctor or nurse.

If they saw him he figured they wouldn't recognize him as a regular patient on that side of the hospital.

Besides not talking to anyone other than the nurse for almost over half a year, Taehyung was quite irate with his other friends.

No calls, texts, or anything at all.

Hell, no one even cared to visit him in the hospital to see if his head got any better.

Jimin and Hoseok didn't do shit, obviously Yoongi wouldn't, and Namjoon? Well, he didn't do a thing either. Seokjin? Nothing from him as well.

He didn't even know how they were doing, or what they were up to now.

The last one he talked to was Jimin.

At the time, it seemed like he worried.

But if Jimin really cared he'd at least visit once, right?
