There Was Nothing You Could Do

-𝐻𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑜𝑘-

There's a knock on the door that wakes me.

Jin pops his head in the room, "Come here."

I look to my right and at Jungkook who is sleeping in his own bed, "Do you want him too?" I whisper.

"No, just you." He closes the door.

I toss the bedsheets off me and the cold air hits my bare chest.

I look down to make sure my bandages hadn't came off in my sleep like they had the first night we sleep here.

I slide on some slippers and throw on a long sleeve shirt and head out the door.

"What's going on hyung?" I close the door behind me.

Jin and Yoongi are to my left, arguing.

My eyes immediately drift to Yoongi's left wrist, there's a cut on it and I begin to panic.

"What the hell! You promised me you'd never-"

"What? What are you talking about?" He looks genuinely confused.

I grab his wrist.

"Aish! The hell was that for? Oh, no no no! I didn't do that I swear! It wasn't me!"

"Then who did it?!"

"It doesn't matter! Tae's the one you need to worry about."

I raise an eyebrow and open the door to the room Yoongi shares with Taehyung,

Tae is asleep on his bed, and there's a bucket at one side.

I can just barely make out a redness along his neckline.

Jin left so it's just the three of us.

I sit on the edge of Tae's bed, "What happened?" I turn to Yoongi.

"So he woke me up at 3am! The audacity!"

"You-"

"No. We're out of ramen so since the two of us were up I thought we'd go get some. We got some, but ran into someone at the store..."

I notice a bit of redness around his neckline too.

"Who?"

"His appa."

"I thought he was in jail?"

"Us too."

I stare at Yoongi's neck for a moment, and he doesn't seem to notice.

"Come here." I walk toward his bed and pat a spot.

He sits where I pat the bed.

"What's up?"

I place my middle and index finger under his chin and lift it.

The entire area below his neckline is red.

"Turn your head." I point to my right.

I look at the side of his neck.

It's just as red.

I touch it with my hand and he winces.

"I can stop-"

"No it's fine."

I run my fingers over the red area. His skin is just as soft as always.

"Turn." I point left.

I do the same thing on this side.

But when I touch him he grabs my wrist, "Be c-careful."

"Mhm."

I lightly stroke the area to see how much it hurts him and he doesn't let go of my wrist.

"Okay...what if I..."

I touch his neck, right below his chin.

"Aish! Stop stop!"

I pull my hand away.

"Sorry."

I hear Taehyung gag and then hurl.

"Tae?" Yoongi walks over to the bucket, "It's just a bit of blood."

I walk over to him and look at it.

"Hey Tae, is it okay if I check you out?"

"W-what?" His voice is hoarse.

"You know what I mean."

"Oh. R-right."

"I need you to sit." I pat the edge of the bed.

He scoots over to me.

"I'm just going to touch your neck and see how much it hurts, okay?"

"O-okay."

"If it's bad just let me know, I'll stop."

"Mhm."

I do the same thing I did with Yoongi, I lift his head first.

"Can you turn?" I point left.

It looks like it hurts him to just do that simple task.

"Did that hurt?"

"N-no."

"Tae you can tell me if it does."

"O-okay...a l-little."

"Okay."

I touch his neck and he pulls away.

"Sorry hyung." He takes my hand and puts it back on his neck.

"It's okay."

"Okay...turn." I point right.

"Y-yeah that h-hurt too."

"Okay."

I touch his neck, and I see him resist pulling away, "Did that hurt?"

"Y-yeah."

"Okay...look here." He looks at me.

"Let me know if this hurts."

I touch his neck below his chin, and right as I do he panics, "A-Aish! H-hyung..." he groans.

"I'm so sorry."

"I-it's o-okay."

"Does anything else hurt?"

"E-everything." Taehyung forces a laugh.

"Hey Yoongi, could you get me some-" his phone starts to ring.

"What is it?"

"It's that hospital." He walks over to Tae and I with his phone in his hand.

"There's no harm in answering it I guess."

He answers and puts it on speaker.

"H-hyung?" The voice is sweet and familiar.

"Jimin!" The three of us shout.

Taehyung grabs his throat afterwards.

"How...where were you...how did you....what happened?"

"Well..."

I'm so sorry for the slow updates! I literally had this chapter done in advance too 😔. I told myself every day, "I've gotta update today." And I never did. I've got a few chapters set up to post so I'm going to try and remember to post them. I'm sorry I'm just really forgetful.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed the chapter and stay to read the next one! <3
