Don't Be Like Me || ✔️

He headed straight to his room. Taehyung following along.

Jungkook was at home. Sitting at the side of the bed with his head hung low and his hands tightly squeezing each other. His legs couldn't stop shaking as his face turned red. He was aware of everything but he couldn't stop it causing him to tear up.

Yoongi stumbled up to his room and got onto the bed. Exhausted over everything. Taehyung not being able to sleep alone decided to head to Hoseok's room and cuddle up with him. Jin was last to enter the apartment. Closing the door behind him as he took a sip of water with a calming pill.

Although Jin may seem composed with everything. He was hiding his real feelings so the other members can show theirs. Everyone was suffering their way and they hadn't had a talk with each other for more than a week. Jin wanted to stop that he also tried to give the boys some time to distress themselves.

Jin is the oldest getting pressure to ensure the well-being of everyone including him. Trying to best compose himself for the others. Had to go through sleepless nights just to make sure the other members were asleep before he was.

Namjoon being the leader had to constantly answer calls from managers and bang pdnim. Having to update every hour even in the middle of the night. Namjoon too had to try his best to drag the timing for interviews and award shows.

Yoongi having to suffer from anxiety and having to see the other members go through the things they did. Yoongi did a lot of reflection. His thoughts calling himself useless because he was the second oldest but reacted in a manner where help is not what he gave but need.

Hoseok on the other hand kept composing, trying to cheer everyone up by small talks. He knew the members best when it came to comfort.

Taehyung preferring short conversations with more hugs. Jungkook being more introverted doesn't talk much but gets clingy. Yoongi prefers having no talks and contact. Just someone near him next to him. Namjoon likes talking over a beer. Jin liked getting distracted and doing other things to get his mind off the current situation.

Taehyung having to cope with all sorts of emotions seeing his best friends for almost 20 years being in the current state. Trouble sleeping was something he couldn't escape. At this point, some of the members had said it was best if h signed up for therapy or to head back home with his family for the time being but Taehyung refused.

Jungkook was terrified. Simple to say. He couldn't stop shaking thinking about the image he saw. The other members tried to get him to visit Jimin but he refused immediately. Too scared to see his hyung condition.

Jin let out a sigh, walking up to Yoongi's room. Yoongi on his bed shuffling around until he noticed Jin's presence.

"Hyung?" Yoongi called out. Jin walked up to his bed. Sitting at the side of the bed. Yoongi sat up. Ruffling his hair.

"You can't sleep?" Jin asked. Yoongi nodded.

"Have some sleeping pills and head downstairs for a while. Call Taehyung and Hobi on your way." Jin asked before leaving. Yoongi nodding without any questions.

Jin pushed Jungkook's door open after knocking lightly. Jin's eyes widen seeing Jungkook on his bed with his sweaty bangs. Looking as if he lost himself. Jungkook eyes were puffy and his hands were shaking.

"Jungkook? You alright?" Jin asked. Jungkook eyes watered again. Jin didn't hesitate and hugged him tightly.

"What's the matter? Hm?" Jin asked. Jungkook shook his head. Hugging Jin tighter. Jin pulled away. Kneeling to the youngest's height.

"It's Jimin isn't it?" Jin asked. Jungkook nodded.

"Jungkook, he is doing fine. I promise you. He'll be back here with us in no time. Believe that." Jin muttered. Patting his hair.

"No, not only that...what if someone else does the same thing?" Jungkook asked. Jin gulped. Imagining it was terrifying but whether they like it or not. They have to help the member.

"If the same thing happens again then you'll know what to do. I get that right now everything is hard to process but in the future, if the same thing ever happens again. We will cope with it easier." Jin muttered. Jungkook nodded. Jin smiled softly.

The other 3 members are already seated on the couch. Jin lets out a sigh.

"I called you guys here before I felt like we all had time to finally process and accept everything. Yoongi and Taehyung. Whatever you saw earlier must be scary and I'm sorry I wasn't there to be with you guys. Jungkook you must have a hard time alone here and Hobi, thank you for helping me out."

"I am honestly scared as well. We don't know if the therapy and longer stay at the hospital will do Jimin any better but for now, let's hope for the best."

"Hyung, thank you," Taehyung muttered before hugging the oldest tightly. The others following along. Jin eyes watered
but he held his smile.

Namjoon was seated next to Jimin. The younger member woke up but he wasn't panicking as he did earlier. The nurse had his bandages changed and got him his first meal after days of being unconscious. Jimin looked at the food in front of him. Not being able to pick up his spoon. Namjoon had his own set of food since he was staying in.

"You don't have to be scared of it Jimin..." Namjoon spoke. Jimin eyes watered as he picked up his spoon with his shaky hands. Jimin struggled with his inner voice. Scooping some rice only for him to drop the spoon.

Heaving as he started crying. Namjoon placed his food to the side. Getting on the bed and pulling the younger into a hug.

"It's okay, you'll get there." Namjoon comforted. Rubbing his back.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Jimin cried. Burying his face deeper into Namjoon's chest.

"Why would you be sorry?" Namjoon asked. His eyes watering but he held it in.
