Jungkook ran as fast as he could once he parked his car in the compound.

Kim Taehyung had called him, crying and sobbing while trying to tell him something.

The only words he could make out between the sobs were Jimin, hospital, and blood.

True, he wasn't really a big fan of Jimin but he was after all Kim Taehyung's best friend.

Jungkook saw Kim Taehyung leaning against the wide shoulder of another man as they sat on the bench outside the emergency doors, both their eyes red and puffy from crying.

"Hyung..." Jungkook called up softly and the blonde raised his head slightly before reaching up to him, wetting Jungkook's shoulder with his tears.

Jungkook had to hold on to the older's body as the other's felt weak, like it could collapse any minute.

Repeating soothing sounds over and over again as Kim Taehyung cried on him, Jungkook's eyes panned the room.

The man his boyfriend leaned on just now looked at him and nodded in recognition.

Another man just arrived and the man who nodded half-ran to him, hugging him tight to cry as well.

"Namjoon... What should we do...?" The man cried louder as he said those words to the man who just came.

"He'll pull through, baby. He'll be okay."

"What happened?" Jungkook asked Kim Taehyung once he was calmer.

"H-he cut himself. The paramedics got there as soon as possible but he l-lost too much b-blood. Oh Jungkookie... What do I do?"

This was the first time Jungkook saw the man in front of him cry. Jungkook knew he was supposed to empathize with his boyfriend but seeing him right now made the brunette think how a person could cry so beautifully.

"Who found him?" The man called Namjoon asked.

"I did. I wanted to tell him Jungkook knew our secret. J-just as I reached their apartment, I got a text from him."

"What did it say?" Jungkook was still rubbing Kim Taehyung's back in hopes his sobs would die down.

Instead of answering, Kim Taehyung fished out his phone and unlocked it. It was still showing the message he got from his best friend.

"Hey TaeTae.

By the time you read this, I might not be around anymore. I hope I'm not.

It's not that I don't love you or the others. It's just I love him too much. And that's on me.

Please tell him I don't blame him. Don't let anybody blame him either. I was happy most of the time. I truly was.

I was just not enough.

Take care of each other. You, Kookie, Jin hyung, Namjoon hyung.

Please tell Hoseok I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do all that to him. Maybe Hoseok could be enough for him.

If he comes to my wake, tell him to smile like how he'd smile when he looks at me.

Be happy.

I'm sorry."

Jungkook didn't even notice it. But he felt his cheeks getting wet and he gave the phone back to Kim Taehyung who clutched it at his chest, as if it was the only connection he had left to Jimin.

A minute later, Yoongi hyung walked through the hallway, reaching closer to the emergency door.

Before anybody could process what had happened, the other man let go of Namjoon and reached for Yoongi's collar, pulling it tight as he hissed out threats. He wasn't even shouting but Jungkook thought that was what made it sound even more spine-chilling.

"This is all on you, bastard. I told you, didn't I? I told you one day you'll break him. Did it have to go to this extent? Are you happy now, fucker? This is what you wanted wasn't it?"

Jungkook expected the deadpanned Yoongi to fight back.

But he didn't.

Everybody watched as Yoongi closed his eyes and a drop of tear fell. And then two. And soon enough, Yoongi was sobbing like crazy, sucking in air as he tried to breathe, like there was no oxygen around him.

Even the man who was hissing out was surprised and let his collar go, which was the only thing that held the pale man up so when the hand released the shirt, Yoongi fell down on the floor, hugging his knees as he sobbed his heart out.

It took the doctors a couple of hours to stabilize Jimin and put him in ICU. Nobody knew when and if ever Jimin was going to wake up since he lost too much blood and practically died right before he reached the emergency.

His brain was deprived of oxygen. Not for long but it did happen, and that in itself could be the reason why he was still unconscious after two weeks.

They would take turn to visit Jimin - Jungkook with Taehyung, Namjoon with Jin (as Jungkook had learned his name).

Yoongi never did came back after Jimin was released from emergency to ICU. After a week, he was thankfully moved to a room.

A private room, paid in full for as long as needed to be by an anonymous payer.

Everybody knew it was Yoongi.

But nobody knew where he was. He even moved out of the house him and Jimin shared.

They thought he'd come back to Jin's house but he didn't.

After a full month, Jimin finally woke up.

And the first thing he did, was cry.

Nobody else could do anything but cry with him, including Jungkook who mostly cried because of the sounds Jimin made while sobbing, as if everything hurt him, even breathing.

Yoongi was never to be mentioned in front of Jimin, and Jimin never did ask about him.

Not even once.
