29: Little Flower

"Hey, Kook. It's okay, you're okay."

I can't move.

I can't breathe.

It hurts.

"Can you open your eyes for me?"

Jungkook slowly peels his eyes open, and the world spins around nauseatingly. He closes them again to hide the swirling colors that are bound to make him throw up.

"I know it's uncomfy, but please look at me, Jungkook."

Seokjin hyung?

Jungkook struggles to open his eyes again, this time he sees a shadowy figure leaning over him, then he feels a hand touching his cheek. Another hand touches his other cheek as the person above him cups his face gently.

"Seo-...S-...h-hyung..." He whispers brokenly when Seokjin's face comes into view.

"Shh, yes it's me. Don't talk Kook, just lie still."

Jungkook tries to nod to show he's listening, but a sharp pain flares up through his neck and he gasps. Seokjin shushes him and brushes his sweaty hair out of his face. "Shh, it's okay. I know it hurts but try not to move for now. You're going to be okay, don't worry."

The rest of the boys look on in despair, watching Jin trying to comfort the youngest that's restless and in pain. Tae kneels next to Jungkook and gently puts his head in his lap, stroking his hair and whispering calmly to him.

"Jin hyung is going to help you, Kookie. Don't even worry about it. You're alive, and you're going to be okay." He reaches over and takes his little brother's hand, feeling Jungkook squeeze his tightly.

Jimin tries not to look at all the blood on Jungkook's neck as the little one tries to breathe. But the bright red against his pale white skin is horrifyingly vibrant and begs to be seen.

"I-...I'm s-...sorry." Jungkook chokes out, a single tear slipping down his cheek. Jin wipes it away and shakes his head, "No, Jungkookie, you did nothing wrong. You just be still now, and don't worry." A little whimper leaves Jungkook's mouth but other than that he stays silent, besides his labored breathing.

Yoongi can't watch another minute, so he says he's going to see if anyone is around and keep an eye out as he leaves the room hurriedly. Namjoon can't tear his eyes away, as much as he wants to. Hoseok has his back turned as tears stream down his face, his stomach lurching every time he looks at the youngest.

After another minute, Tae feels Jungkook's hand go limp and sees his eyes flutter closed. "Kook? Hey, Kook." He shakes him a little but gets no response. "Hyung." He looks at the eldest, panic swimming in his wide eyes.

Jin shakes his head and feels for Jungkook's pulse. Then he sighs in relief when he finds it.

"He's still alive, he's okay. He must have passed out from the pain. He should be feeling better in a few hours. They had him longer than the rest of us, but he's going to be okay."

Just then Yoongi comes back in, a grim look on his face.

"They're talking in the other room. Saying something about relocating us for training and supervising. What's going on? What do we do?"

Jin sighs, "We don't do anything. Just don't cause any trouble, and we'll figure it out later. Right now, my priority is Jungkook."

"Kook? Kook you're awake! You had us worried sick!" Taehyung exclaims and rushes over to kneel at Jungkook's side. The first thing Jungkook notices, is his brother's red eyes. He stares at Taehyung in confusion until it all comes rushing back to him.
