Jimin continued to watch the saline drip as they sped home.

"Do you have a blanket for him? Jacket? Anything?" Jimin asks as he feels Yoongi's skin getting colder from the cool liquid being pushed through his veins.

Jungkook shook his head before reaching to turn the cool air to 80 and turning the vents all the way up. Jimin smiled at him through the mirror before pulling his own shirt off and laying it over Yoongi's chest. He continue to stroke his hair as the last of the saline continued dripping into his veins.

Once it was empty, he took the saline bag down and pulled the tubing out of Yoongi's IV to make transporting him easier when they arrive home.

Soon, both vehicles turned down the pretty lit path. Jimin briefly reflected on how much his emotions contrasted the two times he made this ride. The first time - nervous about how the conversation with the hunters would go. There was so much on his mind. Would they trust him? Try to kill him? Could he accomplish his mission? This time - nervous that he might lose one of those hunters. That whatever Yoongi is to him would be gone. How did things change so quickly? He's not even supposed to feel much emotion, and definitely not one that strongly resembles love. Maybe Jungkook is right. Could they be soulmates? But again, how is that even possible? Nothing makes sense... Jimin's mind was a mess of fear and confusion while they neared the home.

Soon, they stop in front of the house. Namjoon cut his engine and quickly gets out to run over. Jimin had the back car door open already and was climbing out. He reached back in and grabbed his shirt and the bag.

"We'll carry him," Jungkook said to Jimin as Namjoon was already opening the other door to prepare to lift his shoulders. Jungkook climbed in so that he could support Yoongi's lower body. 

"Can I have keys, I'll unlock the door."

Namjoon reached in his pocket and tossed the keys over the top of the truck. Jimin caught them with one hand. As he headed toward the door, the brothers lifted Yoongi and began carrying him toward the house. Once inside, Jimin followed them toward the basement.

"Reach behind the case and hit the button. Then use the small silver key on my ring to unlock the door."

Jungkook bit the inside of his lip to keep his face straight as Jimin followed Namjoon's instructions.

Jimin proceeded down the stairs and then moved out of the way to allow them to pass and lead. Namjoon led them into what looks like it might lead to a closet but is actually a small medical suite. Bright lights flickered on as the pair walked in to lay Yoongi on the hospital bed. 

Jimin began looking at their supplies and grabbing anything he thought he might need. He turned around and fastened a heart rate and O2 monitor to Yoongi's finger.

"Blankets. Warm water. Wash rags. Grab those and bring them here please Namjoon. Jungkook, change your shirt. Clean your arm with soap and water and then betadine. Be back in 3." Jungkook nodded before running out of the room.

Jimin glanced down at Yoongi's paler than usual face and caressed it gently while waiting on Namjoon to return. He turned his finger to look at the monitor and saw stable O2 but heart rate of only 52. Clunky footsteps coming up told him Namjoon is almost back. 

Grabbing the blanket, he covered Yoongi and tucked the edges under his body for maximum warmth, leaving his IV arm out to receive Jungkook's transfused blood. 

"Clean his face and neck please. Dry him off too so he doesn't get more chilled."

A moment later, Jungkook ran back into the room in a new shirt and clean skin. Jimin pulled a chair over from the corner of the room and motioned for him to sit next to Yoongi. 

"Are you scared of needles?"

Jungkook's eyes widened a little but he shook his head no before laying his arm on the table next to Yoongi's. He linked their fingers and squeezed tightly as his eyes filled with tears.

"Ok, let's ge..."

"Will this work? Are you sure?"

Jimin, though annoyed at the interruption, considers the soft pair of eyes in front of him, still filled to the brim with tears that haven't yet spilt over. "His body doesn't seem to be injured badly aside from the poisoning and blood loss. We've cleansed his blood but now he needs more. So yes, this should save him."

Jungkook blinked back his tears and nodded his head before holding his arm out to Jimin.

"Make a fist," Jimin requests as he taps on Jungkooks arm.

Jungkook complies and Jimin finds what he needs. 

"Look away. Take deep breaths," Jimin whispers as he reaches for the needle. Jungkook again complies and Jimin quickly inserts the needle in his arm. He tapes it down just as he did with Yoongi.

"Namjoon, run grab a barstool. Kookie needs to be higher than Yoongi. I'll lower the bed and then connect them."

Namjoon again runs out of the room as Jimin presses the lever that lowers the bed all the way down.

"Stand up," Jimin requests and then shoves the chair back out of the way. He connects the tubing to Yoongi and then to Jungkook and the blood begins flowing.

"How long will this take?" 

"About 30 minutes. It looks scary but the tubing is really narrow and the flow is slow to keep your body from going into shock. Namjoon will be back soon and you can sit - but be sure to hold your arm up. The flow needs gravity to work properly. If it's too slow, it can begin to clot in the tubing." Jimin waited for a nod of understanding before adding, " I'm gonna grab you some water and a snack from his office."

Jungkook nods and Jimin reaches up to ruffle his hair before leaving the room.
