Secret Gamer

Chapter 25

Three weeks after being admitted, Jinyeong was allowed to return home under the circumstances that she did not try to go anywhere else. Hoseok, Youngjae, and Taehyung all came to see her at the hospital and were there when she was released as well. They came up with a schedule. Since Yoongi could somewhat work from home, he would stay with Jinyeong during the time that she would be at school, giving her meds and helping her with some physical therapy exercises. After school, Hoseok would head to her house and give her the homework that she had for the day. She would do it for an hour, then Jungkook would come over and the two would stay together until Jungkook had to leave or he spent the night. Jinyeong still could not talk, therefore she used morse code as best she could to communicate, or in Yoongis case, pointed at what she needed and made humming noises to try to speak.
Her spine was still bruised but not as badly and her shoulder was healing nicely, although she would only be able to use up to 75% of it. Her arm fractures were healed and her jaw was almost fused, but not quite. She could technically remove the cast, but Jin was not going to be too sure, so he had her keep it on for one more week.
The routine went on for two more weeks, and then Jinyeong could finally take off her jaw restrictions and try walking again.
"Jin you have to be careful. No Jin not like that, okay just let me do it, please." Namjoon was a nervous wreck about removing the jaw restrictions. He had once broken his bottom jaw and knew how painful it could be if the restrictions were removed incorrectly (thanks to his mother).
Sighing, Jin let go and allowed his overprotective husband to remove the metal pieces from around her neck and bottom of her mouth. Jinyeong just sat quietly, nothing really hurting her yet.
"Okay Jinyeong, I'm going to have to snap this last piece off and it is going to hurt, so I'll do it on the count of three."
Jinyeong squeezed Jungkooks hand, who was sitting right next to her, as Namjoon counted down.
"Threee..."
"Two..."
"One!" Namjoon used his strength to snap off the last piece and the whole restrictor came off with a scream.
From Jungkook.
Jinyeong had squeezed his hand so hard that he was the one who made the noise.
Everyone looked at him and then at his hand, only to see that there were small finger bruises already forming.
Jinyeong just grabbed his leg and squeezed out multiple apologies.
"Hey, hey I'm okay, I'm okay. Are you okay? Your jaw looks..... um, Namjoon?"
Namjoon had turned around to put the restrictor in the bin.
"Yes?" He replied, turning around to see what was wrong and his jaw dropped.
The lower half of Jinyeongs jaw that was held, along with her neck, was blue and green with bruises. 
"Oh my god. It's not supposed to be bruised anymore." Namjoon said.
"What do you mean it's not supposed to be bruised?" Jin asked.
"I mean the bruising should be gone! When my bottom jaw broke, I had bruising during it but not after." Namjoon pulled out his phone and started to dial the doctor that had watched Jinyeong.
Jinyeong just tried opening her mouth, only getting to a certain point, then squeezing Jungkook.
Water.
"I'm going to go get her some water. I'll be right back." Jungkook got up and left the room.
"Namjoon what is he saying?" Jin asked.
"He's not picking up." Annoyed, Namjoon left and went to call the hospital.
Jungkook came back with a bottle of water and a straw, opening them both and letting Jinyeong take a sip.
"That better?" Jungkook asked. Jin sat down on Jinyeongs desk chair and fiddled with his hands.
Jinyeong nodded her head yes and kept drinking from the bottle. When she was done, she held it out, asking Jungkook for another.
"Okay. I'll be back." Jungkook left again and refilled the water bottle, coming back a few minutes later and handing it back.
After drinking half of it, Jinyeong tried to open her mouth again and attempted to speak.
"shhh-shou-lder." She sounded raspy and very, very sick. Considering that she hadn't used her voice in weeks though, she was doing pretty well.
"Your shoulder? What about it?" Jin asked, getting up.
"Iii-ce." She responded.
"You want ice for your shoulder?" He asked.
Jinyeong nodded her head and Jin left to go get the ice.
Looking up and Jungkook, Jinyeong took his hand and pulled him to that he knew to lay beside her.
Laying down, Jinyeong moved herself so that she was sitting on Jungkooks lap.
"Hi." Jungkook whispered.
"Hi" Jinyeong responded. "I love you." She rasped out.
Leaning down, Jinyeong gently placed her lips on Jungkooks.
Surprised, Jungkook didn't do anything. Realizing what was happening, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed back.

Jinyeong smiled, happy that her first kiss was with the man she loved.
