(Double update...check out the previous chapter if you haven't read it yet🙂)
Jimin's point of view:
It's been a month. She still hasn't woken up. The case about Sung Jae and father ended up with them both in jail for the rest of their lives. Though, Sung Jae's case can reopen if noona doesn't wake up. Jinae is clinging to me right now as we sit in the hospital, the hyung's towering over her in noona's room. I gulp, mustering some courage before I open my mouth.
"S-she is Jinae, my girlfriend" Jungkook and Taehyung nod at her, friendly smiles on their faces. Namjoon hyung looking deep in thought. Seo yeon noona and Ara just relaxing on the side, seemingly watching the new drama as the hyungs try to intimidate her.
"H-hello" she stutters and I instinctively tighten my hold around her. The other hyungs breaking into a smile at her voice. Yoongi hyung smiling at her before ruffling her hair.
"Hello, kid. Don't be so nervous around us. Eri would have loved to meet you"
"I'm sorry about that"
"Don't be" he shrugs her off "No one's fault anyway" he says. But I can see the way he diverts his gaze, the way he taps his foot against the floor, the way he starts biting his lip, the way he blames himself.
"You know our names?" Jin hyung asks, cupping her face in his hands.
"Yeah.....he's told me lot about you guys" she says, pointing at me with her thumb. I swat at hyung's hand as he's still not taken them off her.
"Hands off" I grumble and she giggles.
"Hey let's go have a meal at the canteen. A way to celebrate the new official couple and getting to know each other better" Seo yeon noona smiles at me before standing up and heading out the room. The others following suit. Jinae glances at me. I nod at her. She takes the indication and leaves me alone with hyung.
"Hyung" he has taken a seat beside her bed again.
"Go Jimin" his back facing me.
"I want you to come with me"
"No. I have to be here with her. Also I have my work to complete"
"I have noticed the way you're distancing yourself from us. It's not going to help. Seo yeon noona has done so much to help me move on. You just have to let somebody in, hyung. It's not that hard. Just try it"
"What if I don't want to move on, huh, Jimin? What if I want to sit here beside her? What if I want to wait for her even if it takes a lifetime? I know she will come back to me. I know she will wake up" his tone is one of anger but his voice is softer than he wants it to be. His shoulders slump.
"Hyung, I don't want you to blame yourself. No one blames you" I keep my voice as soft as I can, wanting him to open up to me.
"I wish I knew what I'd do to her sunlight. I'd never have gotten closer to her. I'm sorry, Jimin. I couldn't save her from my darkness. I'm sorry. I never meant for this to happen"
"Hyung, it's not your fault. She is a fighter. She is stronger than you think. She'll make it through. She has to. She promised me she will always be right by my side. Always" I back hug him, uncomfortable since he's sitting but I still go for it.
"Go Jimin. I'll stay here"
"But hyung-" he cuts me off this time.
"Go" his voice sharp. No place for any argument.
I tread out of the room, staring at hyung's back a minute longer before walking to the café. The others look up at me, wishing for another presence. I shake my head at them, taking a seat beside Jinae. The conversations resume, a certain dullness resonating in them. A hand on my shoulder snaps me out of a daze. Hoseok hyung.
"Hmmm?"
"Jinae" he says and then I notice the absence of her from beside me.
"Huh? She was here minutes ago. Where'd she go?"
"She went to talk to Yoongi hyung. I think you should stop her"
I jerk up from my chair, a shrill sound from the chair scratching against the floor.
"Don't" Namjoon hyung stops me from going further. I shake my head.
"I- no- I can't let her get hurt. Y-you know how hyung gets when he's grumpy" I try to correct my initial stutter.
"He's not grumpy right now and you know it. He's sad and needs a shoulder. He won't talk with us, he's known us for too long for that. Someone who's a stranger to him may help"
"I-I should be there with her"
"At least don't enter the room" Taehyung speaks up.
"Hun....I would prefer that you don't go" noona says. I try to convince her to let me go, making puppy eyes, knowing she can't resist. As expected, she sighs before burying her face in her palms, nodding her head. I jump before running, making my way to her room.
Yoongi's point of view:
A knock on the door, before it's slowly opening. My grip on her cold fingers doesn't falter. I turn around in the chair, watching as Jinae takes small, nervous steps towards me.
"Forgot something?" was the first thing that left my mouth. She shook her head, indicating that was not why she was here. I raise my brows, questioning.
"I wanted to talk to you, if you don't mind. I am planning on doing this with everyone to get to know you guys but I think I might not get the time to meet you again, you know"
"Yeah because I stay here the entire time. I know" a pause before I speak again "So......what do you want to talk about? Jimin?" she shakes her head, taking a seat on the other chair beside mine.
"You" her voice quiet but strong.
"Me?"
"Yeah...how're you doing?"
"I'm fine thanks"
