Mark was in there for at least half an hour, and Jungkook was outside, tapping his feet against the marble flooring. Jimin and Yoongi were sitting beside him, but both seemed stressed in their own way, holding hands tightly, whispering to each other about something.

Jungkook looked at them for a few seconds, and turned his attention away.

He can't wait for Taehyung to be alright again. For Taehyung to come to America. For them to live the life they dreamt of living. For everything to be okay. For none of their demons to come chasing after them.

Dr. Byun walked up to Jungkook and gave him an eased smile. "Jungkook, you should know that Taehyung will have to stay in the hospital for a month or two. Undergo some more surgeries to make sure he is completely okay. Of course, me being a close friend, I'll try to stretch it for as long as I can to ensure he doesn't go to prison- and then put him on the best flight to Chicago."

Baekhyun said, and Jungkook smiled at his comforting.

"Thank you so much." Jungkook whispered, and Baekhyun smiled back.

"I've known Taehyung for a long time. We've been friends since he was 13, me 15. I hope you know how much he loves you. I mean you-you've changed him, y'know? He practically radiates around you. That day when you were at the hospital- I've never seen him so afraid. He really does love you." Baekhyun said, and Jungkook smiled softly, looking down.

"I love him too. S-so much. Do you know if he'll be okay?" Jungkook asked, and Baekhyun stood up. "I'm going to go check." Baekhyun said, and gave Jungkook and nod and entered the room Taehyung and Mark were in.

"Baby, have you eaten?" Yoongi asked, and Jungkook huffed. "Not really. Don't want to." Jungkook said, and Yoongi frowned.

"Me and Jimin will go get you some food, okay? You stay right here." Yoongi said, and Jungkook nodded with a small smile, and Jimin and Yoongi stood up and walked out the waiting room.

After another half hour of waiting, and waiting for Jimin and Yoongi to return, the door of the ER room opened, and Baekhyun walked out, followed by Mark.

"Jungkook.." Baekhyun trailed, and Jungkook could see the slight paleness in their faces. Jungkook frowned, standing up.

"Taehyung wants to talk to you." Baekhyun said, and Jungkook let out a sigh of relief. Honestly, anything anyone said sounded like a threat or an injury, and maybe, it was his mind playing tricks, but he was so scared he didn't know how to interpret anyone's words. Jungkook nodded and then walked inside the room, closing it behind him.

"Taehyungie," Jungkook squeaked, walking up to Taehyung and sitting down beside him, seeing him staring up at the ceiling, looking incredibly tired. "Everything okay?" Jungkook asked, and Taehyung turned slowly and smiled.

"Perfect, baby." Taehyung croaked out. "Perfect after seeing you."

Jungkook blushed, and then grabbed Taehyung'shand, enveloping his smaller hand in Taehyung's bigger one. "You're okay, right?" Jungkook asked, and then moved a little closer to him to be able to see his face better.

Taehyung nodded, and Jungkook could see how fatigued he looked. It seemed as if he should be asleep. Like he was fighting to stay awake. Perhaps for Jungkook.

"Ba-baby- I know y-you don't want to, b-but you have to unders-stand-" Taehyung stammered, and Jungkook squeezed his hand tightly.

"I know, Tae. Jimin and Yoongi told me outside. They said me going to Chicago tonight without you sounds like the best option. But it's okay! I'll wait for you Tae!"
