The steady rhythmic sounds of monitors brought Yoongi back to consciousness. His eyes hastily opened, almost immediately closing at the bright light the room he was in produced. He blinked a few times, trying to get used to the almost blinding white lights.
A frown appeared in Yoongi's face as he looked around the painfully white and barren room. Being used to color most of his life, it felt unsettling to be in a place so devoid of color. Yoongi looked down at his arm, wincing at the number of needles embedded in his arms.
Guess I'm not going anywhere.
There was a single window at the opposite side of the wall, signaling it was the time of night as the moon shone brightly. From what Yoongi could see, there were no city lights, no hint of actual civilization anywhere. It was completely dark, other than the fact that the moon was shining, which begged the question.
Where was he?
The door slid open, revealing a rather tall lady whose auburn hair was tied into a messy bun. She smiled warmly, her eyes looking at Yoongi rather kindly. He raised an eyebrow at her, watching as she walked towards him.
"Hello, Min Yoongi," she chirped."How are you feeling?"
"I-i'm feeling good, I guess?" Yoongi whispered hesitantly."I'm very confused."
She nodded in understanding."That is to be expected. Don't worry Yoongi, you're in safe hands. Trust me on that."
Trust me.
"Wait a minute. Where's Hoseok?" Yoongi asked, panic overtaking him. The monitor began to beat faster."Is he okay? Did he sur—"
"Yoongi, I can assure you that your Perfect Match is one hundred percent fine." She chirped."He's in the training room now, sharpening his combat skills."
Yoongi sighed in relief, feeling himself calm down a little, the news of Hoseok being okay lifting an unknown
"I can call him if you wish." She offered. Yoongi nodded.
"Please do. I'd feel more comfortable with him here." Yoongi replied."Well not that I'm not comfortable with you but I would feel even more comfortable if Ho—"
"Mister Min, it is perfectly fine." She pulled out a screen from her wristwatch. She pressed one of the buttons, zooming in to one of the specific screens.
There appeared a very sweaty Hoseok, one who was wiping his brow with his hands. Yoongi watched closely at his fluid movements, how he dodged the person with ease, the way his muscles flexed with every movement that he made...
Okay, snap out of it now!
"Hoseok?" She called out. Hoseok snapped his fingers, stopping the person mid-attack. He did the same procedure that the woman had done, pulling up the screen from the wristwatch he didn't have previously.
"Yes?" He asked into the screen. Yoongi watched in wonder as he ran his fingers through his damp hair, studying the way his shirt hugged him, outlining every aspect of his upper body.
"Mister Min is awake."
Hoseok's eyes lit up and he nodded."I'll be right there."
The screen turned off and the woman turned to Yoongi. "He's coming. Let me take the time to introduce myself. My name is Ruby."
"Your actual name is Ruby?" Yoongi raised an eyebrow. She chuckled at the statement, shaking her head lightly.
"Well no. After I came here, I changed my name to Ruby. I didn't want to be plagued by the history of my name."
"Ah, so your alias in a way?" Yoongi commented. She nodded.
"Precisely Mister Min."
At the politeness, Yoongi shook his head. He didn't like the idea of someone who looked about his age, if not a bit older, to have her address him like that."Call me Yoongi. There's no need for the mister part."
"Alright, Yoongi, I'm going to scan you real quick. You won't feel anything don't worry."
She pointed her left fist towards Yoongi, a soft blue light coming out of her ring, running through him and disappearing as quickly as it had come.
After the scanning completed, a screen showed up.
Name: Min Yoongi
Status: Inactive
Division: N/A
Rank: N/A
Age: 23
Height: 5' 9"

"Your vitals are good. I think it's all gone now." She smiled cheerfully. Yoongi nodded, head tilting slightly as his ears zeroed into the 'it'.
"What's gone now?"
"Only the poison that was administered to you."
As his mind registered the voice, Yoongi rapidly turned towards Hoseok, an involuntary grin on his face. Hoseok smiled back at the sight of Yoongi's infectious grin.
"Glad to see you're finally awake." Hoseok said."Thought we had lost you for a moment. You've been passed out for about a week now."
Yoongi's eyes widened at his statement."A week?"
Ruby nodded. "The poison administered to you was strands of the Acquices Cauros, which is a deadly disease. It targets specifically your brain tricks it into thinking you're dead, which causes it to start slowing the heart down."
"That was in the drink that was given to you by our lovely President Jeon Jungkook." Hoseok added, a bit smugly."Meaning our lovely President meant to poison us."
"Then why didn't you go through what I did?" Yoongi asked, a bit thrown off and suspicious. It made sense that he would have been subdued to the disease the same way Yoongi had been. Hoseok had drunk the coffee that they were offered.
"I'm immune to the disease," He shrugged."Any disease."
"Pretty much anything that can kill him, he is immune to," Ruby stated. Yoongi raised an eyebrow at the statement.
"How come?"
Hoseok and Ruby looked at each other, a heated conversation passing between the both of them. Yoongi stared awkwardly at the exchange, feeling extremely out of place.
"You also suffered a lot of injuries. Courtesy of the car blowing up." Ruby replied, completely avoiding the question Yoongi had just asked.
Okay, they're definitely hiding something.
"We were able to get rid of all your injuries. The only thing we couldn't get out fast enough was the Acquices Cairo in your system. Your system had almost completely failed by the time we got you here." She finished.
"That's right Yoongi. Almost would have lost you forever." Hoseok stated. Yoongi merely nodded, directing his attention to Ruby.
"It took about a week for the poison to get out of your system completely. That's completely normal so don't worry." She offered Yoongi another smile."You're lucky. If you had gotten here five seconds later, you wouldn't have survived."
"So can he get out of here now?" Hoseok asked, impatiently. Ruby nodded.
"As soon as we get those needles out of his arm." Ruby walked towards Yoongi, grabbing his arm gently."Now don't worry, this won't hurt."
She took the needles off quickly and painlessly, taking Yoongi off of the machines that held him captive. She helped Yoongi sit up and sit at the edge of the bed he was in. Before she could continue to help him, Hoseok cut in.
"Hold on Ruby. I got him from here," Hoseok replied, slinging one of Yoongi's arms around his shoulders, Hoseok's free arm wrapped around his waist.
"H- Hoseok I'm fine." Yoongi muttered weakly, fumbling to get Hoseok off him."I can walk just fine."
He shook his head."If I let you walk, you'd fall. You've been in bed rest for a week."
True to his word, as soon as he lifted Yoongi, the latter stumbled, almost losing his balance. Yoongi clung to Hoseok's still sweaty shirt, trying to make sure that he didn't fall.
Hoseok chuckled at Yoongi's reaction, shaking his head. He smirked, making it a show to hold Yoongi ."Told you so."
"Shut up," Yoongi mumbled, causing another string of laughter from the younger. Even with the laugh, Yoongi knew Hoseok was only teasing, his eyes looking cautiously at every step Yoongi took to ensure he didn't fall.
"I'll take you to my room. That way you can change out of those hospital clothes."
"Hoseok, where are we?" Yoongi asked him as they walked outside the room. Hoseok remained quiet for a little before stating,
"The place for safety and change."
