3AM: Life or Death?

Chapter 12

Jimin POV

"He's alive, but he's still unconscious, and probably will be for at least a few days. It also appears that he's been taking drugs though. So, his body is a bit out of sorts right now and still weak. Obviously, there shouldn't be anymore concern of the drugs now that he's here and won't have access to them for the time he's here. He's lucky. Much longer and it would've probably been impossible to bring him back." The doctor informs us.

I swallow hard, glancing over at the others. My heart breaks to hear this, never having guessed that Yoongi had fallen as low as to find drugs, never having thought he'd really go all the way to this point. Though, I'm reminded of the other person that needs desperate care right now, hearing our maknae heaving quiet sobs and whimpers from all the way in the back corner of the silent room where we'd left him. I glance back in his direction, finding him all curled up in a ball.

"If you'd all like, does anyone wish to go visit him?" The doctor offers gently, glancing around at the five of us, regaining my attention once more. I bite my lip, looking over to the others. I can see it in their eyes as they all glance around, all of us wanting to go visit our unconscious hyung.

"I think we'd all like that, wouldn't we?" Jin speaks up softly, wanting to confirm with all of before agreeing for us. I sigh, running a hand through my hair.

"Why don't you guys all go ahead? Jungkook needs to get home and get some rest. He still seems really cold and hasn't completely dried off yet." I offer up, wanting desperately to go see Yoongi, but knowing that someone needs I take care of Jungkook and knowing Yoongi would want for us to give him the attention he needs.

"Okay. That probably wouldn't be a bad idea for you to get some rest too. You and Jungkook were the closest with him anyways. Just let us know if you need anything, okay? We'll be home in a few hours or so." Namjoon speaks up with a small smile, nodding his head at me. I merely nod my head before turning and heading back to where Jungkook is still sat. He looks up at me when I stop beside him, looking utterly exhausted.

"Come on, Kookie. Let's get you home, yeah? The hyungs and Tae are gonna go visit Yoongi right now. He's unconscious at the moment, but he'll be okay." I tell him softly. He just nods his head, slowly climbing up out of the chair he'd been curled up in. The younger immediately winces when he gets to his feet, nearly collapsing right here. I wrap an arm around his waist immediately, supporting his weight as I lead him out of the hospital and to a cab. Thankfully, he doesn't fall asleep the entire way home despite it taking thirty full minutes, but he doesn't seem any more awake or less sore when we climb back out.

Pursing my lips to keep my thoughts to myself, I grow worried for the younger as he puts more weight on me as we go. It's clear he's getting weaker and growing more worn down with each minute he's staying up, but he needs to get a warm bath before trying to get some sleep.

"Alright, Kookie. Think you can manage a bath before you get some sleep?" I ask softly as I unlock the front door, leading him inside. He frowns at the question, pouting a bit as he forces us to stop for a moment.

"I don't know that I can handle either one right now, hyung." Jungkook mumbles, sounding even more tired than he looks. I frown at his response, worried for his wellbeing. I don't know if his exhaustion and weakening body is from trying to wrap his head around what's happened tonight, or if he's genuinely growing weak from how drained his body is, but either way I'm worried for him. I have no idea how long he was in the water to pull Yoongi out, and I can't imagine that he didn't exert a ton of energy to get our hyung out of the water.

"What if I run a warm bath for you? Think you can just sit and soak for ten or fifteen minutes? Then maybe it'll be easier for you to try and get some sleep?" I offer lightly, reaching up and brushing some of his messy brunette off of his forehead. He shrugs limply, empty gaze settled on the empty couch in the living room.

"I don't know that I'll be able to sleep, but I guess I can do the bath thing if you help."
