Pain.

Pain was all that he could feel. It was so strong that it consumed the rest of his mind, making him unable to think of anything else.

The pain burned through his body, spreading from his arms and legs to his back and head. And it hurt so badly. It was getting worse and worse with each beat of his heart, and then suddenly, it stopped.

All of the pain stopped, but he was left in a black void. Unable to speak, unable to move.

He felt panic sinking into him. He didn't know where he was, and until this point he hadn't even realized that he didn't even know his own name. Something with a T, right? His name had to have started with a T.

Everything was still dark. It was like drifting around in an empty void and not knowing where the empty void even came from. Would he ever get out of this void?

Out of nowhere, he heard the slow beating of a heart. Was it his heart? There was a possibility, but he had no idea. The beating was over one of those heart rate monitors and it was the only thing he could really hear. He realized that he wasn't the one that was breathing for him, that something else was forcing his chest to rise and fall.

"J-Jungkook..." someone whispered, scaring him. Who was this person, and more importantly...

Who is Jungkook?

"Oh my god b-baby, I... I'm so sorry," the person said. Who was this person to him? Did he even know him? His voice sounded familiar.

"Dr Kim..." another person said and began speaking rather quickly. It sounded like a jumble of words to him, a big wall of sound that he wasn't able to comprehend. It was stressing him out, he didn't know what was happening and knew that he only wanted to get out of wherever he was.

He tried moving, tried opening his eyes, tried screaming, anything. Anything to just get him out of wherever he was and have him wake up.

He tried to calm down because he was left alone in his void. But, he got startled when he felt someone squeezing his hand softly. It scared him so badly and he could hear his heart rate picking up. He calmed down when the person released their grip on his hand, but got startled again when they squeezed it again.

"I love you, Jungkookie..."

Jungkookie. He was Jungkook, wasn't he? And the voice talking to him was Taehyung.

Suddenly, Taehyung was gone and Jungkook was alone again. He didn't like being alone like this, he wanted to wake up again and see his Taehyung.

He felt a pain in his chest and felt like coughing loudly. His chest stopped moving on its own and he tried to start breathing again, but couldn't remember how to do it. His chest began to burn, then began to rise and fall, but not according to the boy's doing.

Jungkook felt relieved when he was able to breathe again, even though he wasn't the one breathing. But then the pain came back and he stopped breathing. He began to freak out and tried to breathe again, and he did. He was finally breathing on his own.

He congratulated himself, thinking he was on the right path to recovering. Next step was to open his eyes, Jungkook thought. So he did, he tried to force his eyes open, but his eyelids were just too heavy.

Then he heard Taehyung's voice, and that was enough incentive to let his eyes fly wide open. He couldn't really see anything but a bright light, but he heard Taehyung's voice and encouragements. His eyes stayed wide open until he blinked again, trying to clear his clouded vision. He finally closed his eyes again, and found himself able to drift into sleep.

His dreams were clouded by car accidents and Taehyung. That's how he got into this situation, right? A car accident. He remembered now. Jungkook could remember it all.

He opened his eyes again, trying to look around and feeling his face flush. He could barely make out someone in front of him moving around, and finally realized it was Taehyung. He made eye contact with Taehyung, and seeing the boy for the first time in a really long time brought tears to his eyes.

Taehyung wiped the tears away, saying something that Jungkook couldn't quite catch. Taehyung's mouth moved and Jungkook closed his eyes slowly, opening them again to try and stay awake. Jungkook tried to keep looking at Taehyung, but found it too difficult to stay awake and eventually closed his eyes, drifting off into sleep.

He wasn't really asleep, though. He just wanted to get out of whatever weird spell or paralysis was happening with his body. He tried, tried to move his arms but felt like something was holding him back. He pushed against the unknown force, only thinking of being able to see Taehyung again.

Suddenly, everything broke free and Jungkook's eyes flew open. He sat up in his bed and called out for the nurse, seeing her rush in and a look of terror on her face when she saw him up and moving.

Jungkook tried to sit up and move around in the wires he was connected to, but suddenly Jin ran inside and up to Jungkook, putting his hand on the boy's shoulders and ushering him to lay back down.

"W-Where am I? Where's Taehyung?" Jungkook asked, looking around and not seeing Taehyung in the room. Tears began to prick his eyes and Jin stared down at him.

"You got into a car accident, remember, Jungkook," Jin said softly, trying not to stress out Jungkook even more. Jungkook nodded and tried sitting up again, only to be pushed back down by Jin.

"Where's Taehyung?" Jungkook asked, voice quavering slightly. Jin sighed and stood up again. "I can give him a call and tell him you've completely regained consciousness if you'd like. And we can move you out of the ICU, but you need to try and fall back asleep, okay?" Jin said softly, looking around for a nurse.

"What time is it?" Jungkook asked, glancing around the room of the ICU. His eyes landed on a clock and his eyes widened slightly.

2:17.

"O-Oh," Jungkook said and laid back down in the bed. He looked up at Jin and Jin sighed, placing a hand on the boy's shoulder and squeezing lightly.

"I'll call Taehyung and we'll move you out of the ICU as soon as possible, okay?" Jin said, and Jungkook nodded.

"Okay."
