Taehyung's POV:

For a moment I had forgotten...for just a moment I forgot that he had to take medication. There he stood, pills and water in hand, his head turned to face me.

I couldn't stop the frown forming on my face; all this time he'd kept it a secret, why now does he seem so careless about it.

"When were you going to tell me." I stated, my brows furrowing slightly as I set the bagged food onto the small desk.

"I'm sorry.?" Chang said as he looked up at me.

"I know what that medication is for...w-why. W-Why didn't you tell me you were suffering like that." I spoke, trying to sound soft and gentle, but I couldn't help the harsh tone in my voice. I was worried, but I was still upset he kept it hidden from me.

Chang put his head down, looking at the cup of water in his hands before looking back to me.

"I-I just- "

"Actually, you know what, it doesn't matter." I snapped softly, stopping him from further commenting.

"I don't even wanna know, a real friend wouldn't hide something like that. If you wanted me to know you would have told me." I spoke as I set out the food, Chang able to quickly tell that I was upset.

"Taehyung- "

I cut him off as I put a few French fries into his mouth, his brows knitting together in slight discomfort as he attempted not to spit anything out, covering his mouth with his hand until he could swallow the mouth-full of fries.

"How could you." I whispered as I set out the drinks before facing him again.

"She said you've been taking this shit for years, you knew medication like that would make you feel drowsy after use, how could you even think of driving." I snapped, all of my anger, frustration and worry coming out at that moment.

"Taehy- "

"And why am I the only name on any of your medical paperwork? What's wrong with your parents huh? I get you don't see them often but shouldn't they be the ones to give permission if you need any serious medical attention?? Why me?" I rambled, my brows furrowed as I stepped closer to him.

"And what do you have against Jungkook anyways? Ever since we met the guy you've been a complete dick, you won't even fucking look at him! He just wants to be friends with you but every chance you get you seem to act like he doesn't exist! Well guess what buttercup, he's my boyfriend so if you wanna keep hanging with me then you'd better start making an effort with him because I can't have you two budding heads all the time." I ranted as I squeezed my eyes shut, my shoulders relaxing after a moment as I felt Jungkook wrap his arms around me from behind.

His touch was gentle and soothing, attempting to calm me down as he peppered soft kisses on my cheek and temple. I sighed softly before opening my eyes, looking down for a moment at Jungkook's arms before lifting my head to finish confronting Changkyun.

I opened my mouth to speak, no words or sounds leaving me as my eyes widened softly.

Changkyun was crying...sobbing almost as he clutched the cup of water in his hands.

"I'm sorry." Changkyun managed to choke out, his voice a hurt whisper as he held the cup closer to his chest.

My heart broke at the sound of his voice, and the current condition he was in. He looked tired, sickly pale which only made his dark circles more prominent. His hair was disheveled, messy as it fell into his eyes slightly, pink scratches and cuts on any open skin that was visible to the eye from the accident.

Changkyun said nothing as he looked down at the cup clutched tightly in his hands. He lifted his head after what felt like ages, looking up into Jungkook's eyes.

"Take care of him...treat him like the prince he is. Do nice things for him and make sure that, that beautiful smile never fades around you." Chang whispered, looking into my eyes for a moment before silently exiting the room.

Wow...I'm an asshole.

Changkyun's POV:

"Take care of him...treat him like the prince he is. Do nice things for him and make sure that, no matter what that beautiful smile never fades around you." I whispered softly, looking into Taehyungs eyes for just a second before falling silent as I left the room, making my way to the nurse's office.

If Jungkook made Tae happy, then I'll let Tae be happy. I would rather Taehyung have him and be smiling endlessly, then to be around me and worry constantly. Plus, based off his rant...I think I'm the last person he wants to be around.

He's truly pissed at me.

I walked to the nurse's lounge, my nurse on call- Savannah, allowing me inside for the moment being. I stayed with her for a few moments, just until I got sound that Tae had left the building.

Once again he left me alone for Jungkook.

I put my head down, sipping the warm tea Savannah had made me before she walked me back to my room to get me back into recovery.

I was in the hospital for another week or so, and neither Taehyung nor Jungkook came for the time being.

I was finally released home, Savannah personally driving me back to the dorms just to make sure I got there safely. I bowed my head once I got to my dorm, stepping inside and closing the door behind me.

I looked around the dorm, spotting my phone that I had left behind; still sitting neatly on my desk. I walked over, gently lifting the device into my hand as I turned it on.

'HandsomePrince: Changkyun.'-1:03am

'HandsomePrince: I'm sorry... I had no right to be mad at you.' -1:03am

'HandsomePrince: Kyunnie please text me back.' -1:34am

'HandsomePrince: Please forgive me...I know that I had no reason to be upset with you, I can't even blame you for most of it.' -1:34am

'HandsomePrince: I was just stressed and scared and I didn't know if you were okay...and I just took it out on you.' -1:35am

I kept scrolling through the messaged, endless spam of apologies and explanations going on for what felt like ages before I finally reached the bottom.

'HandsomePrince: Savannah just called me...' -2:30pm

'HandsomePrince: She said you were getting relieved today? Can I come see you.?' -2:31pm

'HandsomePrince: I really miss you and we really need to talk...I know I shouldn't have gotten mad at you...I know I shouldn't have yelled but we do really need to talk about it all.' -2:40pm

I sighed softly as I unplugged my phone, stepping over as I laid onto my bed, holding my phone close as I laid on my back.

'Kyunnie: I can't drive for a few days...but I'm at the dorms.' -4:26pm

'Kyunnie: Come see me...' -4:27pm

I closed my eyes as I put my phone down, draping one arm over my eyes as I let out a slow sigh.

I know he's coming...

I turned onto my side, setting my phone on my bedside table before laying on my back again as I tried to rest until Taehyung got here.

It must've been a half hour later when I heard a knock on my door, my eyes slowly fluttering open as I turned my head.

I pushed myself to stand with a soft whimper, my body still a bit sore from the accident as I walked over to my door, gently pulling it open.

I looked up, looking into Taehyung's eyes as he looked into mine. He smiled sadly as he stepped closer, wrapping his arms around my waist as he held onto me, burying his head into my neck.

"I've missed you." Taehyung whispered as he held me closer, sighing softly before gently pulling away as he wiped his eyes, wiping any tears that even thought of beginning to well up.

"So...we have a lot to talk about." He whispered softly.
