"Let it all out, I'll stay here," Hoseok said.

Taehyung woke up
Alone. Eyes puffy. Hair in a mess.

He ended up sleeping with Hoseok and Jungkook after what happened. Taehyung headed downstairs. Rubbing his eyes.

He froze when he saw Jin and Namjoon with the other members.

"Oh, Tae. Sit here. We are discussing Jimin" Hoseok spoke. Taehyung looked away. Clenching his jaw. He didn't want to talk or be near Namjoon or Jin knowing that if they listened from the start. Jimin wouldn't be the state he is. Taehyung quietly took a cup of water and made it up to his room. Ignoring the eyes on him. Although he was stubborn, Taehyung was blaming the majority of what happened to himself.

Hoseok let out a sigh. Seeing Namjoon and Jin's guilty eyes. After what happened and what the psychiatrist had told the two. They finally understood the words Taehyung meant.

Hoseok followed Taehyung into his room. Closing the door. Sitting in front of the younger member.

"What's the matte-"

"How's Jimin?" Taehyung cut Hoseok off. Placing his cup on the nightstand. Hoseok smiles softly.

"He is still unconscious because of blood loss but the doctor had said that he'll be fine" Hoseok responded. Taehyung nodded. Silently glad that Jimin was okay. Hoseok was about to speak until Taehyung cut him off again.

"It's my fault, I knew something was off with him but I didn't dare to talk to him. " Taehyung muttered. Hoseok shook his head. Grabbing Taehyung's hand.

"I'm the coward. He has been my friend for soo long yet I still can't just talk to him" Taehyung spoke. His voice breaking at the end.

"Anorexia and depression isn't something easy to talk about," Hoseok spoke. Taehyung eyes teared up. Feeling hopeless.

"It's not just a simple. 'just eat your food' problem Taehyung. It's more than that. It affects the person physically and mentally." Hoseok spoke. Holding his hands tighter. Taehyung finally let out a sob. All the anger he had pent up inside him turned into hot tears trickling down his face.

"Jimin wasn't only suffering from Anorexia. There's depression too. Even if you were to help him, he might take it the wrong way. He needs special help in the end." Hoseok uttered. Pulling Taehyung into a hug.

Namjoon POV

"Jin hyung and I will look after Jimin for the first two days. Then it's Jungkook and you. Followed by Taehyung and Yoongi hyung" I spoke to Hoseok. Hoseok nodded in response.

Taehyung decided to leave for a walk to ease his head while Yoongi woke up to check up on Jimin before heading to his office.

Hoseok was getting worried since Jungkook hadn't been awake from just now until Jungkook appeared with unsteady, heavy footsteps as he walked down the stairs.

Jungkook had woke up in the middle of the night and enter back to his room and slept there the entire time but by the look of his red nose. Everyone could've guessed he was crying. Jungkook grabbed a glass cup and poured water. Missing slightly.

"Jungkook, we will visit Jimin on Saturday and Sunday so pack your bag early okay?" Hoseok spoke. Jungkook nodded. His face pale and lips chapped. Other than the fact that his eyes and nose were red after crying.

"Are you okay Jungkook?" Hoseok asked. Jungkook's body swayed slightly. Hoseok quickly stood up from his seat to the younger member. Grabbing the glass from him. Jungkook's legs gave up on him right on time. Jin hyung quickly helping out. Jungkook eyes were half-closed.

He was exhausted.

Jin ended up carrying him up back to his room. Taking care of the younger. I felt stressed out. Seeing the way the members were reacting to the situation. Things could get even worse.

Jin hyung and I ended up coming to the hospital later at night. The nurse told us that Jimin hadn't shown signs of waking up. I felt bad looking at Jimin in this state.

Oxygen mask, I.V fluid, and blood transfusion. With other wires connected to him.

His arms being wrapped with bandages that still have bloodstains on them. I could've changed this outcome if just listen to what Taehyung tried to tell me instead of taking it lightly.

"Hoseok said Jungkook might not be able to come. So you can stay here together with Hoseok while I take care of him." Jin said. I nodded. Unable to hide my worried expression. All of this is my fault and I know I am not the only one blaming myself.

Two days later...

Namjoon glanced over to Jimin. It's been 3 days since he was admitted and he still wasn't conscious. A knock interrupted the silence of the ward. Hoseok came in with a duffle bag.

"I packed some extra clothes for you," Hoseok said. Namjoon flashed him a small smile. Placing it beside his bag. Hoseok glanced behind him. Looking confused. Leaving without a word. Namjoon frown, not knowing what was going on.

A couple of minutes later, Hoseok came in with Jungkook. Namjoon eyes widen slightly.

"I thought he won't be coming?" Namjoon asked. Hoseok made Jungkook sit down.

"He will be here for a while and going home. Jin will pick him up." Hoseok explained. Jungkook held back the urge to lift his head to look at Jimin. He knew he would break down if he saw his hyung even though he knows that he is okay.

Hoseok let Jungkook rest his head on his shoulders while gently running his hands into his hair. Soon enough, Hoseok and Namjoon fell asleep. Jungkook felt restless. Standing up from the couch and walking up to Jimin's bed. His gaze lowered.

Gathering as much courage as he could. He slowly lifts his head. Jungkook eyes widen slightly. Seeing the member having wires on him with his oxygen mask.

Jungkook eyes got blurry with tears and before he knew it. The memory of the day he saw Jimin in the bathroom flash past his eyes.

Jungkook grabbed onto the bed frame before running out of the ward.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Hello?" Jin said as he picked up the call. Hoseok frantic breathing

"Hyung, I- I lost Jungkook"
