"It's okay to cry"
...
...

It's quiet.. only the sound of 'beep beep' coming from a familiar machine. Jimin opens his eyes facing the ceiling. He looks to the side of his bed. There's a humidifier, his clothes folded neatly and a blood bag hanging. Slowly he trails the wire leading to his arm. He looks to the other side observing a sleeping hyung.

Yoongi is sleeping just next to jimin's waist on a chair with his hand intertwining jimin's. The situation somehow makes jimin calm. He feels that he is genuinely cared for.

"Hyung.." jimin calls but his voice is too slow having no power.
"Yoongi hyung.." he calls again weakly shaking his hand.

Yoongi darts up from his sleep meeting a conscious jimin.

"Uh jimin ah" he gets up from his seat leaving the room.

He calls for the doctor to have him checked. After a while he sits back. Both blankly stare at each other. Yoongi looks down to jimin's wrist, covered with a band aid cloth with a little blood stain absorbed on it. He sighs.

Jimin looks away. His eyes become teary. Ashamed.. regret.. building up wrath in himself. Seeing that yoongi stands near his bed pulling jimin's head to rest on his chest. He rubs on the back of jimin's head through the hair calming him down.

"It's okay to cry" yoongi whispers.

The two spends the early night watching tv and eating. A message alerts yoongi.

'We're right outside' -from jin.
'Don't make a fuss, he's tired' -from yoongi.

Jin comes in with namjoon and hoseok shouting,

"Jimin ahhhh !" Jin opens his arms wide to give jimin a hug.

"What did i tell you" yoongi glares playfully.

"It's ok. He needs energy now and all of us are here! Almost.." hoseok awkwardly stops his sentence.

Jimin smiles feeling so comforted having them around. The members share the food the bought and talk wildly loud to cheer jimin up. Through the crowded room, jimin turns to yoongi who's also talking. He just stares. He realises how much yoongi has been there for him in his tough times. He starts to see the cold emotionless yoongi as a soft loving person. Yoongi turns to jimin making jimin change direction as if nothing happens.

The next morning,

"I called the company. They say you can rest for a week" the manager tells jimin while driving in the car on his way home.

Jimin nods accepting the fact that he needs a few days off. Yoongi is next to jimin thinking of something.

"Hyung, we're going to my house" yoongi tells receiving a nod from his manager.

"I don't wanna give you a hard time hyung" jimin looks at yoongi.

Yoongi just stares outside the window ignoring what jimin says. He feels it's likely dangerous to leave jimin alone at his house again. Afraid he'll do something much more harmful. Maybe hang himself. He decides to take care of jimin the whole week.

As they enter the house he leads jimin to his room. Tucks him in bed, adjusting the humidifier and takes out the meds he receives from the hospital. He looks at jimin who sits on the bed caressing his stitched cut.

"Take your meds and sleep here" yoongi looks into jimin's eyes.

A step before he exits, "hyung.. thank you" jimin speaks.

Yoongi turns around smiling turning off the bedroom light and leaves the door open. Just in case he hears jimin calling for him. He goes to the couch and lays back. His head on the arm rest, jacket still on, a little dry blood stain on his shirt. He's too lazy and exhausted to clean himself up and ends up sleeping.

A crashing sound wakes yoongi up. He runs straight to the kitchen seeing jimin standing at the open fridge. Trembles as he looks down to his feet, glass shattering everywhere.

"Don't move!" Yoongi goes to wear slippers.

He comes back to jimin and lifts him up in bridal style to the couch. He bends down and scans jimin from his knees to his toes.

"You're not hurt are you?" Yoongi gets worried scanning everywhere on jimin.

Seeing jimin is fine, he goes to clean up the place up. Throwing every piece of glass into the bin. He goes back to jimin giving him milk in a cup. Jimin takes to finish the whole thing in a few seconds.

"Slowly." Yoongi holds at the end of the cup incase it would slip from jimin's hand.

Jimin looks at a worried yoongi,

"I'm really sorry, i told you i would trouble you.. i think i need to go home now-"

"No way" yoongi interrupts.

"I can take care of myself. And i don't wanna be a nuisance" jimin adds.

"Look what just happened? If you're at home just now you'd be walking with bloody feet having pieces of glass stuck on your soles. I'm just a call away if you wanted milk. You shouldn't even be out of bed. And it's 3am for god's sake" yoongi hits him with facts.

Jimin looks down at his wrist again. Feeling sorry and embarrassed. Yoongi leads him to the bedroom upstairs and waits there until jimin falls asleep. He gets up to leave and notices non stop messages coming in on jimin's lockscreen. It's all from tae. Asking where and how is jimin. Missed calls and voicemails. He turns the silent mode on and clears the notifications.

Yoongi downstairs waiting hears knocks on the door,

"I know you're in there with jimin" tae shouts.
