Ignore mistakes please

Third person P.O.V

"I swear, I will beat the peep out of your brain Jimin. I am stressing over many things and you are saying that Tae is not at your place." Jin gritted his teeth and kept on swearing in his special way.

Jimin was quite panicked when he received the call from Yoongi saying that Taehyung was in the hospital and Jungkook wanted both of them to meet him. If we say that it was suspicious, it would be an underestimation.

Jimin was losing his mind by overthinking while Jin was continuously blabbering over his ears.

"HYUNG!" Jin flinched badly at his yell and his phone slipped away from his hands.

"Hey.. You can't yell at me like that. Aish my poor heart." He mumbled the last part, caressing his chest after the jump scare. Don't blame him as he was still oblivious to the situation but not anymore when he picked up his phone, his phone buzzed and after listening to the call, he side-eyed Jimin.

Once he ended the call, he sighed and tried to calm himself.

"Uncle.. he is-"

"I know Hyung.. I know." Jin frowned at the tired voice of the other.

"In fact, you need to know many things." Jimin mumbled kind of ashamed for keeping secrets from older.

Jungkook was feeling a bit... just a bit better by seeing Taehyung silently sitting on the bed. He wasn't crying anymore.. just staring into the void.

"Tae?" Taehyung didn't respond and kept on staring at the wall.

Jungkook sighed and that bit of satisfaction left his body. Now he was feeling damn sure that the younger was hating his presence to the core of his heart.

He bit his lower lip and hung his head low. Never thought about how to react in such situations in front of the one and only Taehyung... his Tata.

The door was knocked and the thick silence was broken by Namjoon, who gestured to Jungkook about someone else's presence.

Jungkook clenched his fists and nodded his head. He walked towards Taehyung and gently patted his head with affection.

"Call me if you feel uncomfortable. We all are outside of the room." He softly informed and turned on his heels to leave the blond in the room, confused... a bit scared.

Taehyung looked up when Jungkook left the room, not before glancing over at the boy on the bed.. and at that slight moment, their eyes met for a brief second. Taehyung felt his heart thumping loudly when he saw Jungkook's emotion-filled orbs but he also felt the uneasiness in those eyes as Jungkook quickly averted his gaze and left the room, without uttering any more word.

Taehyung again shifted his eyes to the wall and sighed. He closed his eyes and recalled the moment when Jungkook hugged him while telling him about Hyungsik. The warmth.... it was so comfortable that Taehyung was again craving for it but he felt so heavy-hearted when Jungkook let go of him when he didn't hug him back.

Muttering a chain of apologies, raventte took a place near the window, keeping a fair distance from the other. Taehyung could feel the hurt in those eyes but he couldn't even say a single word, his heart and soul were having a battle, a very painful battle.

The uncomfortable trance of thoughts broke by the door opening and he opened his eyes when he felt a hand over his forehead, while another slightly caressed his hand that was attached with an IV.
