Trigger warning: Hospital, mentions of car crash injury

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Its been about a month since I left the boys, everyday I've been in the hospital with my parents or staying with my Auntie. My mum and Dad haven't woken up yet, the doctors say that they were injured badly and had to have many surgeries to repair their broken bones. These would likely heal within a few months, however they should be awake by now.

The boys have been brilliant, they all kept their word to message me every day, they were the only thing keeping me smiling. Jimin even followed through on his promise to call every day, I had to make him stop however as it started to affect his sleep.

Due to the drastic time difference between England and Korea, it made it quite hard to contact each other. Though we pushed through, they would all text me goodnight while I was eating my lunch, as well I would say goodnight just as they woke up.

I've been told Yoongi has been spending a lot of time in his studio lately, meaning he would always texted me at 5:00pm here but at 1:00am there. I've told him off a couple times for it, but I can't make him listen, he's a workaholic.

Leaving Korea was horrible, I remember the plane journey back, I cried the whole way. The stewards kept asking me if I was okay, I had to re-assure them that I was fine, just that I needed to express some emotion... a lot of emotion

All the boys seem to be doing well, though they were working their butts off, they are already planning on re-leasing another album in September. I'm proud of them, but I didn't want them to work too hard that they hurt themselves.

Speaking of work, I also made myself get a job, it's only something small, I just wash dishes in the back of a restaurant. It's half to distract my brain for most of the day from reality, but also, I want to save up so I can fly back to Korea. After my parents wake up, and when they recover fully, only then can I start to think about going back. Though, for now, I will do whatever it takes to make sure that's possible.

I was sad to have to leave my old job at BIGHIT, I really felt like part of the family there. Though I still wanted to help out, I was still editing a video I promised to make. It was my own little music video for 'Like', I had finally finished it earlier this month and sent it back to the boys for their YouTube channel. They were really grateful for it and kept saying how much they loved it, honestly I loved it too, I was very proud of myself. The performance for this song was too amazing not to share with the internet, though I did cry over it a couple times, I was just so proud of them... and slightly falling in love.

...

My birthday was today, I was finally 15, as it was summer I spent my day at home, my brother was trying his best to make the day fun. Though I couldn't help but feel selfish for not being at the hospital with my parents.

I was grateful that the boys didn't know about my birthday, Plus we all agreed not to celebrate our birthdays with presents. I was happy to let this day pass, there was too much pressure to be happy. Although, it would've been nice to have spent the day with them, but I don't want to think about that.

I was sitting in the living room just watching cartoons when my brother George came in with my laptop and a weird expression on his face.

"What?" He didn't respond, he only placed the laptop down and opened it up in front of me and walked away. "Eh?" The screen was black for a few seconds before waking up to show seven cheeky faces grinning at me through the screen. It took my brain a second to realize what was happening, but there they were all seven boys on skype. "Guys?" They all cheered in greeting with a few "Happy birthdays" Here and there and my smile couldn't be brighter. This was my first time seeing them in nearly a month, we would call and text, but skype was something we hadn't explored yet. "How?!" I asked in confusion before Namjoon answered me.
