Trust The Fate

Chapter 3: Make It Right

"They're back, they're back!" Hoseok informs as he has been waiting at the front porch and runs towards the three solemn boys. "Did you found her?" Hoseok whispers and looks over Jungkook's shoulder to see Taehyung carrying an unconscious Youngmi. "Oh shit. Come in, come in. Seokjin hyung will know what to do," he gestures, opening the front door wide enough for all of them to come in and closes it behind him. They are greeted by a snow leopard hybrid, who looks so anxious that he is holding his own tail with ears perk up. Seokjin then comes out from the kitchen, drying his hand with a towel before throwing it onto the nearest counter while Namjoon runs down the stairs as fast as he can. Jimin looks at Namjoon with teary eyes, ears flop and he is sniffling while holding an empty syringe. "Hey, hey, it's okay Jimin. You did what you needed to do," Namjoon hugs him, rubbing his hand on Jimin's back to comfort him. Seokjin simply pats Jimin's head before approaching the girl ."She bleeding too much. Bring her into the guest's bathroom. Hoseok, fetch the first aid kit and Yoongi, fills a basin with warm water. Bring them to the bathroom. I'll go and find some towels." Hoseok and Yoongi, the snow leopard hybrid do what they are asked to do while the rest follow Taehyung to the bathroom. Seokjin then joins them bringing two fresh towels with him and puts them on the nearest shelf. "Put her into the bathtub, Taehyung. Slowly and gently, please." Taehyung nods before doing exactly Seokjin asked him to, carefully positioning Youngmi's head so that her neck wouldn't have too much pressure. Yoongi and Hoseok both enter the bathroom and put the things down near Seokjin. "Okay, everything is set. Now, listen up. Anybody who has low self-control or had just experienced heat, I'm afraid I need to ask you to leave," Seokjin says picks one of the towels and immerses it in the basin. He hears footsteps leaving the room and the closing of the door. He looks back and is surprised to see Jimin, playing with his long sleeves, looking nervous.

"Jimin?" he calls out.

"I want to help hyung. Please?"

"Are you sure? You do realize she needs to be undressed so that her wounds can be treated well."

"I know. Don't worry. I can control myself and my heat was a few months ago. I just- I feel guilty- I mean, I did inject her with the tranquilizer. The least I can do is help her."

Seokjin nods, reaching out for bathroom stool and sits on it. "Go and take your bathroom stool," he said and Jimin rushes outside. Within seconds, he returns with his ash bathroom stool and places it next to Seokjin. "Okay, we need to peel off this shirt from her. It's a bit sticky because of her blood. I am going to hold her up so you do it. Be gentle, okay?" Seokjin says. Jimin nods and they both work to slowly lift shirt. Seokjin is not kidding around when he said that it is sticky. Jimin tries his very best to prevent some of the scabs from being peel along with the shirt to minimize any more blood loss. Once the shirt is successfully removed, Seokjin and Jimin gasp at the amount of scar, bruises, and wounds Youngmi has. "What the hell?" Seokjin says under his breath. Jimin lets out a whimper and his ears flop once again. "We'll heal her. It's okay. Can you please remove her leggings? Slowly," Seokjin says, hands trembling as he slowly put Youngmi into a comfortable position in the tub. They gasp again upon seeing multiple scars and bruises after her legging is removed. "Who bit her?" Jimin asks, with teary eyes. "I - I don't know, Jimin. I don't know," Seokjin replies, feeling tears start to form at his eyes. It's hard as both of them are pretty empathetic. Clearing his throat, he says "Let's start cleaning her wounds and stop any blood loss, shall we?" Jimin nods as he immerses another towel into the basin and twists it. They both work in silence, Seokjin focuses on her body while Jimin focuses on her legs. They are lucky that Youngmi is wearing underwear covering whatever needs to be covered or else it will be hard for both of them as well. A few minutes later, all the wounds and bloodstains are thoroughly clean even though they both faced hardships in cleaning those on her backside. They put the blood-stained towels into the basin and Seokjin opens the first aid kit reaching for an antibiotic ointment and a bag of cotton-tipped applicators. Jimin simply watches him as he takes one cotton tip, places it at the mouth of the ointment, and squeezes it to put a small amount of it onto the cotton tip. Putting the ointment down, he turns his body towards Youngmi and gently presses the cotton tip onto one of her small wounds while moving it in a circular motion, making sure that the wound is completely covered by the ointment. Understanding what he has to do, Jimin follows his steps and once again they work in silence. The only moment both of them stop working is when Youngmi flinches a bit when Jimin tries to work on the bite wounds on her legs. Seokjin looks at him and whispers "It is either fractured or broken then. Be extremely gentle. We'll bring her to the hospital once she's awake." Jimin nods and continues whatever he was doing, except gentler. Jimin is done with his part when he looks up to see Seokjin struggling to clean Youngmi's injured abdomen. "The hell did they do to her?" Jimin furrows his eyebrows, angry at the fact that someone of their own kind shamelessly tortured a human. Seokjin sighs, finally done with his part before throwing all of his used cotton tips into the dustbin that Jimin brought earlier. "He's a cheetah hybrid. You know how wild that kind of hybrid can be. Wow, we used up all the cotton tips. Well, gotta put that into the shopping list then," he answers. "Wash your hand first before we can bandage her," he instructed and Jimin nodes before going to the sink, washing his hand as thorough as he can because his hands are covered with blood Youngmi's blood. He may not like water but this is bearable. Seokjin comes from behind and washes his hand at the other sink. "You okay?" he asks. Jimin stares at the red liquid flowing into the sink drain. "Hyung, what if-" he looks at Seokjin and shakes his head "Never mind. We can talk later," he said, reaching for the towel to dry his hand. "You're worrying me Jimin," Seokjin says, following his acts earlier. "It's okay. It can wait. Our main focus is on her." "Okay then. Let's go, bandaging is hard work. We'll start with the small cut first then the big wounds, okay?" Jimin nods, taking an adhesive bandage from the first aid and starts working on the small cuts. "How do we bandage this?" Jimin points at the bitten leg. "We'll just bandage it with gauze rolls. That's the only thing we can do for now until further announced by the doctor," Seokjin answers before focusing back with his part. Jimin, on the other hand simply watches because he does not know how to bandage the bitten leg. Well, this is literally the first time he learns how to dress the wounds and the procedures that needed to be done because normally Seokjin is in charge of any injuries or wounds. 'Just what on Earth did that bastard want from her?' Jimin thought as he gazes on all the bandages on her body before stopping at her face, eyeing her features, from her dense yet perfectly curled eyelash to her chapped pale lips causing his mind to wander.

"Jimin," Seokjin calls, pulling Jimin from his thoughts.

"Yes hyung?"

"Can you hold her up? I need to wrap this gauze rolls around her for this scratch wound."

"Oh, okay hyung."

Jimin is extremely careful at where he places his hand and tries his very best to prevent himself from looking somewhere he shouldn't look because, from his position, the view is really tempting. While Seokjin is struggling to wrap the bandage properly, Jimin is struggling to maintain his self-control. After what seems like hours, Seokjin is finally done with his part and Jimin is more than glad to put Youngmi down gently. "Now, the last part. We will just wrap it loosely because she still needs to go for a check-up tomorrow," Seokjin says, unrolling another gauze wrap. He, very very gently rolls the bandage around and around, struggling not to put too much pressure on her leg because it might worsen her condition while Jimin simply watches with admiration towards his hyung. It is soon done, thanks to Seokjin's professionalism. He sits on the stool, huffing with hands on his laps. "We almost ran out of the stock just by treating her alone," he mutters, looking at the almost empty first aid kit. "She has too many injuries. Thank God we didn't trust that bastard earlier," Jimin replies.

"Yeah, I wonder what does he need her for? I mean, obviously, they are not mated. There is no mark on her."

"I don't know hyung. One thing for sure, we cannot hand her over to him."

"Yeah. Anyway, can I borrow your smallest shirt, Jimin? Along with the smallest pants you can find." 

"Sure but what for?"

"Urm, she's literally in her underwear."

Hearing that, Jimin blushes and looks away from her figure to his hyung who is smiling awkwardly. "R-right. I'll go find something for her." With that, Jimin rushes to his bedroom, almost bumping into Taehyung along the way.

"Oh, are you done?" he asks.

"Yes. But right now, she needs clothes to wear."

"Oh, can I help you?"

"Sure."

They both enter Jimin's closet, rummaging for the smallest outfit they can find. "Ah, found it!" Jimin exclaims, pulling a black short-sleeve plain T-shirt. "Found mine as well!" Taehyung holds black sweatpants before giving it to Jimin.

"Is she still unconscious?"

"Yes. Maybe she'll wake up tomorrow."

"But then she'll miss dinner."

"I'm afraid so."

"But, she's okay right?"

"I don't know Taehyung. There are just too many injuries on her. Like- I mean- Our first aid kit is almost empty."

"That's... horrible."

"Exactly. Tomorrow Seokjin hyung wants to bring her to the hospital for her leg."

"What's wrong with her leg?"

"She got bitten."

"What?!"

"Anyway, I gotta go. We can talk later."
