Jungkook couldn't feel anything for a few moments, but as the pain returned to his body, he heard himself groan. It wasn't as bad as before, but it still made him feel uncomfortable. All he could see was black, and he longed to open his eyes, but everything was difficult at the moment because his body was not cooperating with him.

He could faintly hear familiar voices talking. He groaned again and his eyes slowly fluttered open.

"Hey, baby," he heard a soft voice say.

He blinked a couple of times to get the world into focus and his eyes widened when Jimin came into view. Yoongi stood behind them, a look of guilt on his face as he watched his two boyfriends.

"Where?" Jungkook asked, voice hoarse.

"You're in a hospital, baby."

"Yoongi," Jungkook mumbled and the other held his hand, bringing up to his lips and kissing his knuckles.

"You scared me," said Yoongi, eyes shiny.

"Sorry," Jungkook whispered, lower lip jutting out unconsciously.

"Why didn't you tell us you had pneumonia, love?" Jimin asked, brushing his hair gently, "You almost gave us a heart attack."

"I'm so—"

"Don't be. It's not your fault, baby. I'm sorry I didn't notice," Yoongi interrupted, "I'm so sorry, baby."

Jungkook whined, not liking the apologies spilling out of Yoongi's mouth.

"Don't."

Jimin chuckled softly, bending down to press a kiss to Jungkook's forehead.

"Just, please don't hide something like this from us, baby. It's dangerous and you can't just—" Yoongi trailed off as the memory of Jungkook passing out filled his head. Jimin rubbed the older's back.

"Jungkook is here. He's okay," Jimin assured.

Jungkook nodded, "I'm okay. I just...I didn't want you to get fired because of me so I went to buy your laptop and I used up the medication money, and I couldn't—"

"What?" Yoongi shouted and Jimin's eyes went wide, "You used up the money for medication on the new laptop!?"

Jungkook gulped and nodded meekly.

"Jungkook, are you crazy?" Yoongi shouted in disbelief.

Jungkook flinched and his eyes filled with tears, lower lip trembling.

"Aye, baby," Jimin whispered, heart breaking.

"No, no, no. Baby, don't cry," Yoongi spoke, pulling the younger male into his arms. Jungkook sobbed into the older's chest, mumbling out "sorrys."

"No, baby. Shh, don't cry. Hyung's not mad."

Jimin smiled softly and ran his fingers through Jungkook's hair, massaging his scalp.

"Baby, you're... you're so much more important to me than some lousy laptop. If a laptop gets damaged or even breaks, I can repair it or buy myself a new one. There's only one you. If something happens to you..." Yoongi trailed off, holding the younger close and dropping a kiss to his head.

"You're important to me. To us. Don't you ever do something like this again. Come and slap some sense into me if you have too. But this? Never again."

Jungkook nodded, keeping his face buried in Yoongi's chest.

"Aye, my babies," Jimin cooed, peppering them with kisses until Jungkook was reduced to a giggling mess.

Jimin pulled away when Jungkook began to cough.

"You need to rest, love," said Yoongi, placing a quick peck on Jungkook's lips and Jimin followed.

"Stay?"

"We'll be right here when you wake up, darling," Jimin answered and Jungkook smiled softly.
