"Uhh I'm pretty tired, and my whole body hurts. A little light headed as well."

The doctor nods as if this makes sense. He turns to Jungkook and Yoongi in turn and says "Would you two mind stepping out of the room for a few minutes? I have some things to discuss with Mr. Park."

"Mr. Park..." Doctor Lee sighs. "I think you know what I'm going to say."

Jimin's mouth flattens into an unsatisfied line. "I can't take suppressants anymore." It's not a question. He knows they'll tell him that because that's what they said the last time, but they still managed to find something...

As if the doctor can read his train of thought he says "I mean it this time Jimin. Not that I didn't the last time, but there's no more switching to different types now, that's it. Another phantom heat could kill you, they get more serious with each reoccurrence. You were very lucky your friend found you so early on this time. I hope you realise that."

"There's nothing else I can try?" Jimin's voice betrays his false hope, he knows the answer he'll get.

"Unfortunately no. I understand you were taking them due to the severity of your suffering during heats. I can't prescribe suppressants but we could talk through other options in terms of limiting your symptoms as much as possible."

Jimin's tail flops dejectedly at his side. "I've tried a few things before but nothing ever really helped that much"

"Well, I think there are a few new medications on the market since you went on the suppressants, so if you'd like to try, we do have options for you." The Doctor says.

Jimin sighs. "Can I think about it?"

"Sure." Doctor Lee smiles politely. "I'll leave you to rest for a bit. Let me know what you decide."

The hospital discharges Jimin a few days later. And although he insists that he feels fine now, Jin still gives him the rest of the week off work.

Suddenly Jimin has tons of free time on his hands, and no idea what to do with it.

He settles on starting with some light cleaning, seeing as the house has been getting a but messy.

As he works, Jimin hadn't expected to come across some dried flowers, looking about a week old.

With surprise he notes that they're honeysuckle flowers.

"Did Hyung figure it out?" He whispers to himself.

Rather than bin them straight away, he sets them aside to ask Yoongi about later.

Later that night Yoongi returns with fresh jangjangmyeon and a couple of side dishes from the takeaway around the corner.

"Ahh Hyunggg, it smells so good! Let's eat it quickly before the noodles go soggy." Jimin tells him as he unpacks the containers from the bag, placing them on the table.

Once they start eating, Yoongi asks him "How was your day? How are you feeling?"

Jimin sighs quietly. He knows Yoongi means well, but he's getting really tired of people asking him 'how do you feel?' and 'are you okay?'.

"I feel fine now. You can all stop worrying... And it was all right thanks. I didn't really do much, so it was pretty relaxed. How about you?"

"Alright well I was just asking. And my day..." Yoongi grins, taking a bite of pickled radish.

"It was pretty interesting."

The way he says it implies that there's more to it than that. However, instead of continuing, Yoongi's attention goes back to his noodles. Is he not going to elaborate?
