The Lies You Told Me Back Then (Yoongi FF)

Chapter Twenty

I wake up, but I refuse to open my eyes. I think I'll die of boredom if I open my eyes to the same bedroom walls, the same window, the same security guard with the same sandwich sat in perfect view of me. And also, my eyelids are so freaking heavy! It's like someone placed an individual elephant on each of them, so I just breathe in deeply and sigh. Ah, the same old smell of jasm-
Wait, it doesn't smell like Jasmine.
It smells abhorrently of sanitizer, and it's stinging my nose. And what is that sniffling noise? I couldn't hear it a second ago, since the ringing and loudness of my thoughts completely blocked it. Is- is someone crying? Why?

Don't tell me. I'm in a coma and/or am dead and/or will die, and my ghost is floating outside my body and I'm sickeningly attending my own funeral/farewell/crying-session. It would explain why I can't move anything (even my jaw feels heavy), but can't ghosts see?

No. Wait, this was bound to happen! My parents are rich, I've probably been kidnapped! And drugged! And they're going to call my parents and ask them for money and then kill me when they find out that my parents won't spend that much money trying to get me back! Shit!

"Hyung, please stop crying! The doctors already said she's going to be okay?" A familiar voice. A little deep and very distinctive with the accent, almost overpronounced. Wait, that means I'm not dying/ haven't died. The coma's still valid though. And this voice doesn't sound like a kidnapper, so... I'll stay skeptical about that.

"Hobi Hyung is right, Hyung," says a higher voice. Unmistakably, it's Jimin. Why is he here? And Hoseok? Are Yoongi and TaeTae here as well? "Look, when she wakes up, she's going to be the one to convince you of it, but you need to understand, Hyung. Dani doesn't want you to blame yourself. That's the last thing she wants; you and I both know that."

I want to nod, but all I can manage is making my headache worse. "Ahh, shit, that hurts!" I mumble (more like slur), eyes flying open, immediately shutting close because of how blindingly bright this room is. "Nyghh..." I try to sit up, but think better of it and snuggle back into the blankets.

"Ji Dan, we won! Your brother won the case and your custody was transferred to him about two hours ago. He's on his way here." Hobi sounds... Hobi-like again, less serious/scary, and more happy serious.

"Mhmm, nice." I reply, pulling the covers over my head. "M'... too tired to be happy r'now."

I can hear some chuckling from Jimin. "Dani, I know you're tired, but could you stay awake for a bit?"

"Sure," I yawn. "Can I get some milk?" He hands me some and I grab his hand and hug it for a few seconds. "Thank you, Jiminie Oppa!" I say in a high pitched voice causing a couple of the people in my room to laugh a bit, sounding... higher than my voice. "I'm serious, though, thanks." I open my eyes wide in an attempt to keep them open and sip the vanilla milk with a satisfied hum. "Ahh, flavor! Hey; where's Yoongi? And TaeTae?"

Hoseok points outside. "He went to get BTS, Minjae and Sora. Taehyungie was with them to testify at court."

"Well, that's what Hyung says he went outside for, but it's actually because he didn't want you to see him crying. That's also why Jungkook left. He was kind of... shaken up."

"Yoongi was crying?" I ask, worried. "Jungkook was shook?" I wonder again.

"Yeah." Nods Hobi sadly, though he quickly regains his happy self. "But they'll be fine since you're fine. How are you feeling, anyways?"

"I'm feeling... just fine, actually. A bit sleepy, immensely hungry, but I'm fine." I insist. I look to my hospital gown and pull up my shirt enough so that you can see where my ribs are beginning to poke out. "But Jungkookie needs to start taking me on his workouts."
