Sorry for not updating this book in so long😬 depression, work, and boys got in the way.

Jimin is resting peacefully in the bed in Taehyung's guest room when there's a soft knock on the door. He sits up slowly, arms struggling to support his weight, and weakly calls out, "Come in."

Tae opens the door and Jimin notices the red tint on his cheeks. "Sweetie... You have a few visitors... Are you okay with them coming in?"

Jimin frowns. "Who are they?"

"I'm pretty sure it's all of Jungkook's coworkers."

Jimin gets a chill down his spine. "No. I don't want to see them. I'm not even halfway through the healing process yet. What... What if they know I talked to Jungkook again? I don't stand a chance against all of them–"

"Namjoon said they're here to apologize."

Time stops. "They could be lying."

"I'll sit in here with you if it would make you feel better. I think you should talk to them..."

Jimin sniffles. "Taehyungie, I'm scared they're gonna hurt me..."

"I won't let them. I just need you to tell me I'm allowed to let them in."

Jimin feels his heart beating uncomfortably fast. "As long as you promise to kick them out if they're mean, then I'm okay with it..."

Tae nods and leaves for a second. He returns with Namjoon and some other frost fairies that he's seen a few times before. There's about 8 in total.

Namjoon tenses up at the sight of him. "You look... dead..."

Jimin gulps and Tae sits next to him, grabbing his hand. "Yeah. The snow fever really took a toll on him."

Namjoon just stands there, looking like a hurt puppy, eyes scanning Jimin. He sees how his skin looks dull and how weak he looks, but most of all he sees how damaged his wings are.

"Jimin, I had no idea how bad it was. I thought people were exaggerating."

"You don't need to lie. You saw me when I passed you on the street coming back from the medicine fairy's house."

"You had a blanket over you. All I could see was your face. I... fuck, why didn't I side with Kook?"

Jimin glances at Tae and gives his hand a tight squeeze. Tae immediately takes note of how anxious Jimin looks so he just wraps his arms around him, pulling him close to his chest.

Yoongi crosses his arms. "... How are your wings?"

Jimin frowns. "I can't fly for 4 months..."

All of the frost fairies gasp softly. Eunwoo steps forward. "Is there anything we can do to help?"

"Just... don't hurt me again..."

Namjoon hurriedly nods. "Of course. We'll leave you completely alone, even if you get back together with Jungkook."

Jimin flinches at the mention of Jungkook's name. He looks down at his lap and starts tearing up. "I'm sorry, but I just don't believe you..."

Namjoon sighs and walks a bit closer. Jimin curls into Taehyung's arms slightly, visibly nervous. Namjoon stops when he sees this.

"Jimin, we want you to get back with Jungkook. He's a wreck, and to be completely honest, we're really behind on the schedule without him working. Please just take him back."

"... I'll think about it..."
