Trigger warning: mentions of dying *don't curse me*

-
Jimin sat on the hospital bench, hands trembling as he tried to control his sobs.

How can things have gone so fucking wrong?

It was all his fault. His fault for not noticing how wrong his actions were, his fault for not noticing how badly Jungkook was hurting.

All his fault.

Hurried footsteps made his eyes snap up, watching a frantic Jin and an equally worried Namjoon rush his way as he stood up to face them.

"What happened?", Jin demanded harshly, his tone panicked, scent distressed.

Jimin couldn't speak. The sobs he had tried so hard to control broke through as he fell on the floor, crying his heart out.

Jin was terrified now. It can't be that bad right?

"Please tell me it's not what I think it is. Jimin. Tell me what's wrong please?", Jin crouched down, holding the crying omega in his arms as he begged to get answers.

"J-jungkook, h-he", Jimin broke into another sob as he struggled to speak," Tae, h-he felt a lot of p-pain and he s-said it was Jung-g-kook. We went out l-looking for him and w-we found him unconscious and b-blo-ody on the sidewalk. H-he was bearly b-breat-hing H-hyung"

Jin's heart constricted as the gravity of those words registered in his brain.

"What did the doctors say?", He asked, his heart fearing the worst.

Jimin shook his head, "I d-dont know. They are still in the e-emergency room. W-wont let me in"

Jin choked on a cry of his own. He knew what this meant. He knew. His gut was telling him it was what he feared.

"What about Taehyung? We got a call for him as well?", Namjoon interrupted, earning a loud growl from Jin.

"I don't give two shits about that asshole Joon. If anything, and I mean anything happens to Jungkook, I'll kill him myself. Brother be damned"

Namjoon worried his lips. He was concerned for both Jungkook and Taehyung. But he understood why Jin was so angry.

Taehyung was at fault. Hell, he was the whole damn reason for this mess.

"I know you are angry Jin. But Taehyung is also admitted. I'm worried about both of them. Jimin, what happened to Taehyung?", Namjoon tried to ask again.

Jimij shook his head, his head pounding because of the fear he was going through.

"He's alright. J-just in a lot of pain. He p-passed out when we got here, the d-doctors said his w-wolf wasn't able to b-bear the pain of his m-mate"

Jin scoffed. "He deserves all the pain in the world for hurting Jungkook. So a little pain won't kill him. He is only feeling a fraction of Jungkook's pain. If he can't even bear that then imagine how Jungkook survived for so long?"

No one spoke after that. They were all silently waiting for any news about the omega.

Hoseok joined them shortly. It's been hours, yet there was no news. Taehyung had woken up as well, finally joining them, only to receive a hard punch from Jin who didn't hold back any of his strength.

"You fucking asshole! Are you happy now? Why are you even here? All this is your doing you heartless monster!"

Taehyung didn't do anything to stop Jin's punches, even when Namjoon had pulled Jin away from him, he didn't say anything.

He deserved this. All of this. He deserved so much more. So damn much more.

Taehyung never imagined how badly it would hurt to see Jungkook lying there lifelessly on that sidewalk. The blood he saw had sent his mind into a panic, and then the lack of breathing. Jungkook wasn't breathing.

For the first time in his life, Taehyung had felt that much fear. And this time, it wasn't just because of his wolf. Taehyung was himself scared shitless.

He had immediately picked Jungkook up, working on CPR to get the younger breathing, to get any sign that the younger was alive. That he wasn't too late.

When Jungkook had finally started breathing, albeit weakly, he had rushed him to the hospital, heart constricting with fear, a fear that had chilled him to the bone.

No. Taehyung didn't love Jungkook.

He didn't.

But at that moment, he had finally accepted that he was scared of losing Jungkook.

He doesn't know why.

He doesn't even care to think of a reason now, because he was still so scared.

Scared of losing his mate. Scared of losing his Jungkook.

He sat apart from the others, eyes stuck on the door of the emergency room, praying silently.

All he could do was pray right now. Pray he wasn't too late. Just pray.

The door of the emergency room opened after another hour or so, a young doctor stepping out.

"Kim Jungkook's family?"

They all stood up immediately.

"Is the mate here?", the doctor asked again.

Taehyung stepped forward, watching how the doctor stared at him, eyes neutral though the doctor's scent visibly soured.

"Your mate's omega is dying. I'm sorry."

The words were enough to make Taehyung snap, his alpha taking over as his eyes turned crimson.

"No. No. Save him. Save him", his alpha growled loudly, his anger clouding the air.

Jin looked so brokenly at his brother's wolf, who had taken forceful control it seems.

The wolf wasn't at fault. It was the human part of Taehyung that had been such an idiot.

"Save him"

The doctor shook his head sadly.

"Mr Kim, I'm afraid there isn't much we can do. Jungkook's wolf is very weak right now, on the verge of death. You should know what happens to a werewolf when their wolf dies, they die too. I'm sorry."

Jin stepped forward, tears running down his face.

"Please doctor. There must be something, anything we can do. We can't lose him please. ", Jin pleaded. He refused to believe they couldn't save Jungkook.

Taehyung suddenly fell to the floor, sobbing loudly. His alpha has given him back control, disappearing in the background after cutting Taehyung off.

Taehyung cried for his mistakes. Cried for his selfishness. His cruelty. His stupidness.  He regretted hurting Jungkook.  Regretted treating the omega so harshly. He regretted it all.

"Please. I'm begging you. I'll do anything. Anything just please save him. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I did this to him. I broke him. I'm sorry. Please. Please save him. Please", he broke down, his pride nowhere to be seen. It was pitiful, seeing a prideful Alpha on his knees like that, begging for a solution.

The doctor hesitated. They get so many cases like this in a day. Where an omega dies because of his mate's rejection. Usually, the Alpha's aren't phased at all. It didn't matter to most.

And yet, here was an Alpha, begging on his knees to save his mate after being the very reason for his condition.

Taehyung seemed to actually regret his actions, the distressed pheromones of the Alpha was shrouded with guilt.

The doctor, Seojoon was his name, didn't want to pity this alpha. In his eyes, the Alpha didn't deserve it.

But inside that emergency room, lay a dying omega, and Seojoon's morality would never let him not save a person just because he hated the Alpha's gut.

And so he ended up telling them about the only way to save the dying omega, even when he was apprehensive about the Alpha actually agreeing to that option.

Afterall, the Alpha's rejection was the reason for the omega's declining health.

"There is a way to save him. The only way. But I'm not sure if you would agree to it", he said, eyes watching the Alpha closely.

Taehyung stood up immediately, all his attention on the doctor now.

"Anything. I'll do anything"

Seojoon sighed, here goes nothing.

"Your rejection is what is causing his omega's death. If- If you accept him, he can be saved."

Namjoon seemed to understand what the doctor meant immediately.

"He has to mark him"
