The Show Must Go On- Jimin FF

23. Take My Place

3rd Person POV

"What did I tell you?" Yoongi asked angrily.

"You told me not to come see Jimin." Y/N had replied, standing over Jimin, somewhat defensively.

"And you didn't listen to me!" Yoongi shouted.

"I know. I don't regret it either. I needed to come see him!" She fired back at her brother. "Yoongi, you love these boys, they're your family. But I love them too, especially Jimin. I couldn't stand to not see him when it's my fault he's here in the first place!"

Jimin coughed from behind you. "Y/N, it's not your fault I ended up here." He told you, softly but sincerely.

You sniffed back your tears and looked at him. He smiled weakly at you, and you returned it.

"Y/N. Let's go, now," Yoongi boomed.

You stood there, just continuing to stare at Jimin, who stared back.

"Y/N, now," Your brother said again.

You finally snapped out of your stare and looked at your brother. "No." You told him, looking him straight in the eyes.

"Yoongi, we can't force her." Jungkook muttered sadly to him, his eyes holding sympathetic looks for Jimin and you.  

"Yoongi," Namjoon said. "If she wants to stay, she can. As long as Jimin's okay with it," Everyone looked towards the injured Jimin.

"I want her to stay." He said with a grin. You smiled at him and ran to his side, hugging him again. Tears ran down your face as you held each other lovingly. Yoongi sighed and walked out of the room.

"Tae, Jin, can you come with me and talk to Yoongs?" Namjoon asked the boys. They nodded and followed their leader out the door, leaving Jungkook and Hoseok in the room with you and Jimin.

"Y/N?" Jimin called you.

 "Yes, Jimin?" You replied softly. 

"You.. you want to be a singer, right? A performer?" He asked you.

You furrowed your brow. Sure, that had been your dream ever since you were a child, but you didn't see how that was important right now. You nodded, confused.

"Yeah, but why is that so important right now?" You questioned. He smiled softly, almost devilish.

"The boys have to reschedule some of the shows we had to cancel due to this.. incident, and the one before it. I won't be able to perform in them. I know that already. I want you to take my place," He explained. Your eyes widened at his words. You? Take Park Jimin's place? At a BTS concert? 

"Jimin, don't say that. You could get better in time-"

"Y/N. The doctors have talked to me. I'll be here for about a month. The rescheduled concerts are next week. I won't be well enough to perform," He interrupted you, stubborn. "Do you remember that day I heard you singing that song on your little ukulele?"

You nodded, recalling the memory fondly. A slight blush tinted your rosy cheeks as you replied, "I think so."

"I saw something in you. You're a great singer. You deserve a chance to be on a stage," He said, his chocolate eyes melting into yours. Your heart skipped a beat at his words. Did he really believe in you that much? "I know you can do this. Jungkook, Tae, and I can help you with the songs. Hobi can help you with the choreography. We can make this work if you give yourself and us a chance." 

You bit your lip, measuring the meaning of his words. Could you really do this? Or was this all false hope?

"Yeah. We'd all be happy to help you, Y/N," Jungkook said with a grin, as you turned to him. He flashed you his signature bunny smile and offered you a thumbs-up. Hobi nodded.

"Yep! We could totally help you be the amazing performer we all know you could be!" He said, his infectious smile spreading across his face. He bounded up and down from his excitement, causing you to giggle. Your chest swelled up with pride and a smile found its way on your face. You nodded and turned back to Jimin.

"Okay. I'll do it," You told him, bending down to encase him in a hug. He smiled and leaned in, pecking your lips with a small but sweet kiss.
