"Suga?" You gasped, Lisa and Jennie running forward to tackle the shorter man with a hug. "You're alive?"

The underground resident grunted as the two girls fell into him, but he placed gentle hands on their shoulders to let them know he was okay. His state seemed similar to that of yours from the night before, cuts and bruises plaguing his skin, blonde hair grimy and littered with dirt. He looked exhausted and worn out, but his eyes were continuously wide, trying to take in everything in sight.

It had been ages since he'd seen the world ground up.

"You know him?" Hoseok asked in surprise.

"Unfortunately." Jungkook muttered next to you and you elbowed him. "Y/N, you have serious explaining to do. I'm not kidding."

You knew he was right. An underground ex-officer was standing in his apartment. It raised so many questions. Especially because your only reaction was relief that he was alive.

"Thank god you guys know him on good terms." Jisoo sighed in relief. "I was terrified I was about to ruin your lives."

"Where's Taehyung?" Suga asked, gazing around the room and only seeing four familiar faces. "Who're all of you?"

"Hospital and friends." You answered and walked over to him. "Lisa, Jennie, give him some space."

They stepped away from him at the request and he stared at you with an indifferent expression, eyes flicking towards your armless sleeve.

"Um," Hoseok cut in. "Come inside. I'll get you guys water."

Both Jisoo and Suga stepped into the apartment and the door shut closed behind them, making the space fall silent again as Hoseok left for the kitchen.

"Do you need medical aid?" Namjoon quickly asked, the tension endorsed air suddenly breaking. Suga looked at him, eyebrows suddenly furrowing, lips parting in thought. Namjoon seemed to be in a similar daze as he stared back at him.

"Yes..." the blonde finally answered, voice soft, face a mix of confusion and surprise. His lip pouted and it looked as though he was trying to recall a lost memory deep in his mind. Eventually, he ripped his gaze away from the tallest. "But, I can do it myself if you just have the supplies."

Namjoon jumped as he fell out of his stupor like state and nodded. "Right, of course, give me a moment."

The man also left the room to grab his medical bag. Jungkook picked up the jacket from the floor and made his way to you. He held it out, a look of frustration on his face. Suga took the jacket and held it gingerly in his hands, muttering a quiet 'thanks' before looking at all of you again.

"You're all injured." He stated.

"They look better than last night." Jisoo said and you nodded. She crouched down in front of the two girls and held out the brown bag in her hand. "Here, Jungkook forgot this yesterday."

"Thank you!" They exclaimed, picking out a piece of iced lemon cake from the assortment of pastries and splitting it with each other.

"Oh, yeah," the younger boy chuckled "Sorry about that. I could have just picked it up."

Jisoo shrugged, glancing at Suga. "It's okay. I wouldn't have run into him if you had."

You opened your mouth to ask one of your many questions, but Hoseok and Namjoon both returned, the younger of the two moving to the dining table to splay out his medical equipment while the two new guests accepted the water from the elder.
