The Final Storm
The nurse lets them know to come in to see Jeni.
Yoongi takes J Hope's arm and walks with him to see you. When they are about to reach the door to your room, Yoongi is stopped midstride. He looks back at J Hope, "What'd you stop for?"
J Hope fearfully replies, " I can't go in there. She, she probably hates me. I can't face seeing hate in her eyes for what I've done." He tries pulling away from Yoongi.
"Listen to me and listen well." Yoongi firmly tells him, "You are going in to see her, one because she's been asking for you and second because she doesn't hate you."
J Hope cries, "After what I've done to her . . . How the hell do you know!?" J Hope's anger overrides his sadness like a switch has been flipped.
Yoongi knows a storm is coming, and he grabs J Hope's arm and leads him back to the family waiting room to avoid the stares from hospital staff. Once back, he lets go and tells him to sit.
J Hope sits, but just as quickly, he is back up face to face with Yoongi. Anger blazing in his eyes, he starts shouting, "You love her, don't you. You want her! Don't think I haven't seen how you look after her, and she is always buying . . ." he continues sarcastically, "YOUR special expensive whiskey!"
J Hope knows you get all his bandmates' favorites, not just Yoongi's, but right now, he has tunnel vision. All he can see is Yoongi, "You, you have seen her naked twice since we have been back and didn't even bat an eye as if her being naked was something you've seen a lot!"
He sneers at Yoongi, putting his face just inches away from his. "You've been with her, haven't you? Haven't you!" He grabs Yoongi's shirt, pulling it tight in his hands, and it starts to choke him.
"You fucking bastard, you have been with her!!! I'll choke the life right out of you!" He now has his hands around Yoongi's throat. Yoongi is struggling. He has to stop J Hope. He can tell his dongsaeng is out of control. He does the only thing he can think of.
He lets go of J Hope's hands around his throat and boxes his ears. Stunned, J Hope lets go and stumbles, screaming in pain with his hands on the sides of his head. He falls over the little table in the family room and lands on the floor, curled up in a ball. All anger is gone, replaced by moans of pain.
Yoongi stands in front of him and reaches down to offer a hand up, which J Hope refuses to take. So Yoongi sits beside him, placing a comforting arm around his shoulders.
"On the way here, all she talked about was how it wasn't your fault. She didn't know what was happening, but she made me promise to remind you it wasn't your fault. She told me she knew how you would internalize the guilt. The doctor even said it wasn't your fault . . . or hers. She loves you, Hobi." Patting his shoulder, Yoongi stands back up and reaches his hand to J Hope again.
The storm had passed almost as quickly as it came. J Hope is searching Yoongi's eyes for understanding and forgiveness.
Yoongi reaches his hand closer to J Hope, "Come on. She's been calling for you."
J Hope takes his offered hand to stand up, quickly pulling his hyung into a hug. "Please forgive me. I'm so sorry."
Yoongi, never big on hugs, steps back, placing his hand on J Hope's shoulder. "She wants to see you. Are you ready?"
J Hope wipes his eyes, takes a deep breath, and slowly releases it. "Yeah," is all he says when a nurse walks in looking for him.
