A Dark Star

Chapter 30

Jimin's point of view:

I break down in Taehyung's arms as Namjoon hyung takes Yoongi hyung's slumped body from me. He was shaking so much, he was bleeding. Noona was bleeding too. Noona was bleeding. Its hits me like a truck. It's all my fault.

I watch as hyung hands him over to the paramedics in the second ambulance. They are treating his stab wound, talking about too much blood loss but the words seem to be muffled. The view is blurry, the flashing blue and red lights blur together. I can feel Taehyung's arms wrap around me as I bury my face into his hoodie. I am aware of the fact that I am leaning on him to stand upright. I sob into his clothes and he doesn't seem to mind if I wet his hoodie.

The police officer comes up to us. I recognise him immediately as Mr. Lee.

"Park Jimin?"

"That's me, yes" I sniffle and wipe the tears off my cheeks.

"Ah Jiminie. You will have to come to the station to go through the details of your father's arrest and please see if you can find proof of his other illegal activities"

"Uncle, is it okay if he comes there tomorrow? I don't think he is ready for it right now. He has just seen his sister and friend bleeding out" Taehyung speaks up from behind me but I don't have the energy to thank him anymore.

"Yes sure. Take care" and he walks away, joining his squad in the police car.

I look up to the people left around me, surprised to find Ara there.

"You guys can go home. Taehyung, can you please drop me off at the hospital" steeling myself as I start walking towards our car. I can't let people see me in this state.

"Jimin we are there to be with you. It's okay. They will be fine" Hoseok hyung tries to lift up the atmosphere, positive as always. I can only hum in agreement, hoping he would be correct as I continue walking away from them. They follow me, settling in the car as we head to the hospital. I lean on Taehyung, wanting his touch to comfort me.

I don't know when or how but I drifted to sleep on the uncomfortable chair in front of Yoongi hyung's room after checking the two of them in. Taehyung and Jin hyung on either side of me. I woke up to the sound of a door opening. I glance up to see a man in the doctor's coat standing in front of hyung's room.

"Park Jimin"

"Yes. That would be me. Is he fine? Can we see him?"

"He's stable for now. He's lost a lot of blood from his stab wound on his thigh but luckily we found a matching donor right on time. We've stitched him up. The cut is much deeper so it will probably take a lot of time to heal. Little to no movement and he'll be fine. Though I will have to inform you that he is probably unstable mentally. Affected by something on his mind. He's been murmuring a name since he woke up, crying. You can go see him now"

"Yeah okay. Thank you doctor"

I push the door open to see hyung propped up on the headrest, two IV drips attached to his arm, one supplying the glucose, another one supplying the blood. His skin is paler than normal, drained. He is exhausted. Tears streaming down his face, eyes staring at the white bed, I reach for him slowly, gently. He lifts his gaze to look at me, lower lip trembling.

"It's not your fault"

"I'm so sorry. She died because of me. If only I had agreed to let her go, if only I hadn't been too stubborn, if only--"

"Hyung, noona is not dead. The paramedics found a faint pulse and brought her into the emergency room. They are operating on her right now"

"R-really? Will she be safe?" his brows furrowed, genuine concern spread over his features as he wipes his tears away.
