Chapter 2

"I'm sorry Mr. Jeon, Can You please step out." "What the hell is going on?" "Mr. Jeon Please." Ken turns to look at JK and the nurse. "Take him out of here and update him. We can do without the distraction." JK reluctantly follows Ken's order. All he cares about is what's going on with Jin, and the only way he will know is if he steps out with the nurse.

"Mr. Jeon, it appears Mr. Kim's heart rate is working faster than normal. His body is reacting as to someone who is coming out of a coma. Pleases let us do our Job." The nurse walks back in and the door closes behind her. JK begins pacing back and forth.

A few minutes later, Jin's room door opens. "Mr. Jeon, you can come in now." JK, not knowing what to expect, walks in, while the nurses leave and Ken stays. He notices Ken hand on Jin wrist. He wonders why Ken is touching Jin when a machine already does the pulse count?   "Is everything okay?" JK says looking at Jin whose eyes are still closed.

"Yes, Jin refuses to open his eyes for us, so maybe you can get him to try. He is responding to our commands by squeezing my hands to yes and no questions." JK grabs Jin's hands and they are warmer than usual. "Jin." Before JK can ask him anything else, Jin squeezes his hands. JK just stares at their hands that are intertwined and a tear falls.

"See that's all I can get from him too. I've ordered some test to be done in a few hours. His heart was working faster than normal but we were able to stabilize it to its normal rate. His respiration, 02, and pulse are normal. Those are good signs that he is responding but not fully." "Thanks, Doctor "I will check back later. If you need anything the nurse will assist you." "Again, Thanks." JK says again. Ken leaves. JK hasn't taken his eyes off Jin, not even while Ken was talking.

"Jin. I'm sorry for all this." Jin squeezes JK hands. Tears are flowing from JK eyes. He looks around for the tissue box. He grabs a few and walks back over to Jin. After the loss of contact with JK, Jin suddenly opens his eyes. He looks around as if he is trying to adjust his vision. He finds JK and his eyes fixate on him. JK calls the nurse.

The Nurse comes in and immediately starts asking Jin to follow certain commands in assessing him further. She asks him to follow her light pen, but he just stares at JK causing the nurse to smile. "Well can you follow Mr. Jeon?" JK moves and Jin eyes began to follow JK movements. "Well, your eye coordination seems to be fine she said while writing on the clipboard. "Has he said anything?" "No." JK replies. "Okay Mr. Kim can you try to speak?" Jin squeezes the nurse's hands for yes. "Okay. Let's Try. Repeat after me, My name." Jin doesn't say my name but instead says, "Jungkook-ah." "I'm sorry, I can't make out what you are saying. Repeat after me. My name." "Jungkook-ah." Jin said more forcefully while staring at JK. "He is saying Jungkook-ah." JK tells the nurse. "Are you familiar with that name?" the nurse asks. "I'm Mr. Jeon Jung." Before JK could finish, the nurse chimes in. "That's right, Mr. Jeon Jungkook. Wow. Maybe I should step aside and let you complete this." JK smiles, while looking at Jin.

"Okay, I will inform Dr. Ken of my findings. But first we must prep him for further testing. You are more than welcome to come along." The nurse tells JK.

After testing, Jin and JK is back in the room. JK phones the Chief, Caso, Hoseok and Lisa to tell them that Jin is awake. JK wants to talk with Jin about a lot of things that are on his heart and mind but he knows that for today, Jin has already been through too much, so he just holds Jin's hands. He knows Jin needs to rest but he is afraid of letting him close his eyes. He relinquishes his inner turmoil for the sake of Jin and doesn't try to stop him from falling asleep.

"Mr. Jeon, in two hours we will have to perform a pinch to awake test that will cause Mr. Kim only minor pain. We need to see if he can easily awake." The nurse that came into the room informs JK. "Pinch Test?" "It's the last test ordered to test the recovery of a post coma patient. All the other test we did today came back normal." JK thanks the nurse for the information. "No Problem. Is there anything else I can assist you with?" "No, not at this moment." The nurse takes a calmer voice. "Are you okay Mr. Jeon? Have the doctor talked to you about possible change in your medication?" "No, I rather we talk about Jin's condition." The nurse nods.

After his dose of medication, JK holds Jin's hands and falls asleep. Jin opens his eyes and stares at JK. Memories of that day he killed Tayo begins to play in his head. Remembering how badly JK had been hurt causes a tear to drop from his eye. He squeezes JK hand and goes back to sleep. An hour later Jin is awaken by a small pinch that is a little painful. He moans and opens his eyes. JK is standing over him with a smile on his face. Jin smiles back and says only, "Jungkook-ah." Jin gestures that his mouth is a little dry so JK give him some water.

Well Mr. Kim and Mr. Jeon, this is the last test. Dr. Ken will be in to finalize the assessment. My shift is ending and Nurse Alee will be the oncoming Nurse. Is there anything I can assist you with before I go?" "Jin looks at the Nurse and then back at JK saying, "No." Then Jin squeezes JK's hand and manages to say.  "We're fine." The nurse leaves.

Jin, in a raspy voice, starts talking to JK. "Jungkook-ah, it's not your fault. I could never blame you for this. You know this.  Blame is on me.  I should have told you about Jimin. I'm so in love with you and was trying my best to make sure you were secure. But in all that, I neglected the trust between us for what I believed was for your security.  I'm sorry Jungkook-ah.   Please forgive me."    JK begins crying.

"Jin I'm the reason you are laying here. I know you feel like you have to say that, but I."  Jin interrupts JK.   "Jungkook-ah. I'm laying here because I love you and I never stopped loving you." JK continues crying while trying to talk to Jin. "No Jin, I took you out my life, I replaced you with." Jin abruptly cuts JK off. "I don't care about that right now, Jungkook-ah. All I care about is you. You are my life Jungkook-ah and that's all that matters to me now. But if you need to hear it JK, I forgive you."

JK kisses Jin's lips and brushes Jin's hair back while looking in his eyes. The door opens and Ken walks In.   "Jin, welcome back."    "Ken. How is going?"    Ken reaches down and takes Jin's hand and shakes it. "Quite well, now that you're back."   Ken smiles at Jin. "So, my personal doctor is sick? How is doing?" Jin asks Ken. "Same ole Jin, even in a coma you don't miss a thing, but You know him, he is trying to get back to what he loves. This." Ken says as he looks at the monitors to make sure everything is fine.

"How is it looking Doc?" "You're alive Jin. Do you feel hot or?" Ken reaches for Jin forehead, not really needing to check Jin's forehead, causing JK to move his hand out of Jin's hair. Ken looks at JK then back at Jin. Jin looks at JK, who looks defeated because he knows Ken has to do his job.

"Ken. I haven't introduced you to Jungkook." Ken doesn't look toward JK. "We've met already. He said he remembered me from the police event." "Yes, that would be correct." Jin says looking at JK, who looks annoyed but so cute. "Why didn't you introduce me to Mr. Jeon? Last thing I remember is that you were with the handsome Prince Jimin." Ken says touching Jin wrist again as if he is checking for a pulse.

Jin move his hands from Ken, annoyed that Ken mentioned Jimin. "Well Let me properly introduce you two. JK this is Ken, my friend. And Ken this is JK, my life." Ken looks at JK but doesn't give one hint of Jealousy that is gnawing at his insides. He just nods. "Well Jin, in two days, you will be able to go home and adjust to your post-coma life. But of course, doctor visits will be a must."    "Thanks Ken."   Jin states. "You're welcome.  I, of course, will be seeing you again before you leave. Until then, Jin, Mr. Jeon." Ken bows saying Mr. Jeon without looking at JK, then leaves.

I love you Jin, JK says when Jin turns to look at him.
