JUNGKOOK POV

'Oh, god, Ye...' Jimin wasn't exaggerating. She looks half dead

She is all beaten up and scratched. So many bandages, tubes, and needles.

The beeping of the heart monitor was the only thing keeping me in reality. That constant sound.

'Ye... I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm here. We all are.' I sniffled a little. 'I gotta say, you don't look the best.' I chuckle at my own bad joke

'You better come back soon, or Jimin is going to go insane. And your brother will kill me. He is scary, that guy. I would appreciate it if you'd tell him we're friends because I am too young to die.'

The way her brother spoke to me, the tone of his voice and the look on his eyes... I was this close to just shitting my pants. He is terrifying.

I wanted to touch her hand, but I kept myself away. I did, however, notice her hand being wet. I can only guess that's Jimin. I've never seen someone cry so much. But I understand him completely. A girl he loves could have died. I'm in the same boat.

The moment he called me out of that class, my heart almost stopped. We could have lost her for good.

'I'll be going now, but I'll come back. I promise. I'll bring you some pudding. The shitty one you like. Just get better. I miss you telling me off.'

By the time I came out, Taehyung was already waiting on front of the door. He is a lot calmer than the rest of us, and he tends to panic a lot less, but I know he loves her as a friend and is worried.

JIMIN POV

'I wish I could beat to death the person that did this to her.' Jungkook says

'Get in line.' I sniffle, agreeing with him

'We could all go at him together.' Namjoon adds

'Count me and Tae in as well. I'll gouge his eyes out.' Iye refocused her anger

'Did they say how long she's going to be here for?' Jungkook asks

'At least 10 days. Her broken ribs don't allow her to breathe properly, so she needs to stay on the oxygen. And because of the head trauma. She hasn't woken up once, so they don't know yet what's going on there. They warned us about the possibility of her losing her memory completely or partially.' He sighed as he explained

'What?!' I look up at him. 'She could forget about us?!'

'It's a possibility.' He nods. 'She has a pretty severe head trauma. It's just one of the things that could happen. She could also just have a splitting headache. So don't worry too much. She won't forget you.' He smiles

This was not something that even crossed my mind. I don't want her to forget me. She could forget every single moment we spent together.

'Oh.' He brought me back out of my bubble. 'I think you should be the one to give her this back.' He smiled and put something in my hand

It's the necklace I gave her. She really didn't take it off.

'They had to take it off when she went into surgery, so they gave it to me. But I'm not the one who gave it to her in the first place.'

For such a scary guy, he sure is friendly. At least to me.

'I will never make fun of her when she hurts herself ever again.' Poor Tae came out of that room white as a ghost

'I only just realized that you guys were supposed to be at school.' Namjoon facepalms himself

'As if we care about that right now. We ran out the moment you called.' Iye stands her ground

'I'm happy my sister's got friends like you who are ready to drop everything and come to her. Thank you. Truly.' He bows a little

'We are just going to pretend you didn't thank us for this.' Tae says

'Agreed.' Jungkook adds

'Still, thank you.' Namjoon smiles. 'She will be right here, so you can come and visit her anytime, just don't skip school.'

'We can't promise you that, Joon.' Iye tells him

'I figured as much.' He chuckles

'Are you okay to meet our parents?' Namjoon turns to me. 'I'm only asking because they are on their way here, and you will definitely run into each other.'

'Yes. That's okay. I don't wanna sound rude, but that's the least of my worries right now.' I tell him honestly. I don't care if the Pope comes in here

'Just thought I'd check.' He chuckles

'Where are they anyway? I was surprised they're not here.' Iye asks

'They went to Europe for the holidays. They were supposed to come back next week, but obviously, that got cut short. They should be on their flight back now, but they won't be here before tomorrow. It takes a while.'

'What about your job?' She asks again

'I told them about it and got a few days off. So I'm not leaving her alone.'

'She won't be alone.' I cut in. 'I'll be here all the time.'

'Did you just forget what I said about school?' He raises an eyebrow

'I wouldn't be able to concentrate anyway. And there's not a chance I'm leaving her.' I argue

'We will take shifts. I can come after school.' Taehyung chimes in

'I rarely sleep before 3 in the morning, so I'm keeping the night shift.' Jungkook goes along

'And I wake up at 5 anyway. So I'll be here before school.' Iye says full of determination

'I can't even. You tired me out.' He gave up with a heavy sigh. 'Do whatever you want. I've given up.'

'Right. Let's all go and shower and change, and then we're swapping around.' Jungkook suggests and everyone agrees

As much as I hate the thought of leaving her for even a moment, I did sweat out buckets running here. I must smell like crap. I'll clean up and come back.

Nice to meet you. I love you. |BTS JIMIN HS FF|Where stories live. Discover now
