Wild

☽ 23 ☾

When he glanced behind he couldn't see the panther. But the he could stilll hear the sound of the panther growling. He heard some movements way too close him. And he dared to glance back once more. 

His heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw the panther right above him. 

But before the panther could land on him. Something orange zoomed past him. And the next he knew was that the panther cried out in pain, hitting the ground. Jimin didn't want to stop running  but his legs betrayed him. He let out a relieved sigh when he saw tiger's fur. 

He was probably more safe staying near Yoongi. 

Even if the panther trying to kill him also present. 

Both the beasts fought feverishly. Clawing at each other. Jimin gasped when a bloody wound opened up on the tiger's shoulder. Yoongi roared in pain and immediately hit back. The panther whimpered in pain as its back hit against the tree trunk. 

Before the panther had the chance to strike back. Yoongi jumped upon him and bit down on the panther's neck. It wasn't enough to damage the panther's windpipe. The panther desperately tried to wriggle away. And Yoongi let him. 

The panther scramed away before turning around and glaring at Yoongi. The tiger roared and dared the panther to come back and fight him. The panther glared at him for a moment before turning around and running away. 

Jimin stayed quiet when Yoongi turned to him. He wasn't sure how to react. 

"Get on my back." Yoongi grumbled. 

"Huh? Your-your shoulder-"

"Just do as I say!"

Jimin pressed his lips together and nodded. He slowly approached Yoongi, scared of having the other lash out on him once again and climbed up on his back. He was careful to not get anywhere near the wound. 

As soon as he was proplerly seated on Yoongi's back, the tiger started running. Jimin yelped, grabbing down onto the tiger's fur to prevent himself from falling. He realized that he was getting too cold from being soaked for so long. But he decided to take care of  Yoongi's wound first.

As soon as they reached the house, Yoongi stumbled down to the ground. Jimin got off him as Yoongi slowed turned to his human form. Jimin gasped seeing the bloody wound across Yoongi's shoulder blade. 

Jimin carefully helped the elder get up to his feet and carried him inside. He made him sit down on the couch and went to search for the first aid kit. He was grateful to see a bottle of anaesthesia. Jimin didn't want to ask why it was present along with rubbing alcohol, needle and surgical suture. 

He removed his top clothes because they were covered with mud. He washed his hand and disinfected with with the acohol and went back to Yoongi. He made the elder lay down on the couch and started unboxing all the things he needed. 

He knew what it was doing. He had a minor is medical.

"This is going to hurt... just a little."Jimin warned, dabbing a bit of cotton with the alcohol.

Yoongi didn't have the time to register what was about to happen before Jimin started cleaning the wound. Yoongi hissed in pain, jerking away. 

"It hurts!" 

"Well, if you wouldn't move away it won't hurt!"

"I moved because it hurt!"

Jimin scowled and huffed. He rubbed with wound with the cotton with out any warning and Yoongi screamed once again in pain. 

"I'll kill you!"

"Oh please, I've been waiting for twenty years." Jimin mumbled, removing te cloth from out his way, "If I could, I would pay you to kill me."

He didn't pay attention to Yoongi's expression to his response. But the elder didn't say anything in reply verbally. 

"Do you know what you're doing?" Yoongi asked warily.

Jimin hummed an nodded, "I took medical as minor. You're good... probably won't die."

Yoongi rolled his eyes, "I doub it."

Jimin ignored the comment and continued with his treatment. He was confident in what he was doing. He had practiced it before. 

"Take of your shirt." Jimin ordered. 

"Huh?" 

Jimin looked up, realizing what he just said and blushed, "Take-Take off your clothes. I need to clean the wound. Your shirt is getting in the way."

Yoongi rolled his eyes and groaned. But he did as he was asked to. Jimin kept on chanting in his mind to focus on the wound. Just the wound. However as soon the cloth was removed, Jimin felt completely quiet. 

His eyes widen and he gasped softly. Yoongi's chest and back was littered with scars. Some small and fading, other's big and still promiment against the white of Yoongi's skin. He looked up at the elder's face. Yoongi was looking back at him with an unsure gaze. As if waiting for a certain reaction. 

"Try to relax as much as you can." Jimin mumbed, focusing back on the wound. He clean the needle and slowly started to stitch up the wound. 

The anaesthesia was working but even then, Yoongi would wince ever now and then. Jimin mumbled sorry each time the elder yelped in pain. 

"Lift your back." Jimin said, putting on the bangages, "It will hurt later in night, take these medicines then."

Yoongi nodded, closing his eyes. Jimin decided it would better to let him sleep there. The younger remembered something from last night. Even though, he was hurt from Yoongi lashing out at him, he still did pry into his privacy without his permission.

Jimin winced a little. Remembering about the wound on his leg. He sighed and picked up the first aid kit. He noticed that Yoongi had already fallen asleep. Jimin hesitated a little but quickly leaned in and pressed a kiss on the elder's head. 

"Is this part of the treatment as well?" Jimin yelped hearing Yoongi's voice. 

He bit his lips and hit the elder with the first aid. 

"Hey ow!" 

Jimin huffed and marched away, "Idiot, idiot, idiot, what does he think he is?"

"A tiger" Yoongi replied nonchalantly. 

"SHUT UP BEFORE I POUR ALL THE ACOHOL OVER YOUR WOUND!" Jimin yelled. His face red with embarrassement. He quickly got inside the bathroom. As soon as he closed the door, he pressed hand over his chest, feeling his heart beating crazily inside. 

He started mending his wound. Jimin couldn't help but think about the elder. But soon his chain of thoughts went to the scares. His face grimaced. 

What could have possiby happened?
