Taehyung never left the hospital room.

He refused to eat or sleep
in case Jungkook woke up.

He wanted to be there when it happened.

He wanted to be the first face he saw.

He wanted to hold his hand and tell him that's it's all ok.

That he's here with him.

He wanted to tell him he loved him.

With all his heart he did.

Tell him 'I love you'
and that he always will.

Namjoon and Jin were also there.

They looked at their son, helpless and hurt.

Nothing they could do to comfort him,
to console him.

Jimin drove all the way from Busan to see his brother.

He hoped that he would've awaken by the time he'd gotten there,

but he hadn't gotten his wish.

They all sat by his side.

Awaiting the moment he'd wake up and say something.

Instead all they heard were beeps of the monitor.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

They were evenly spread.

Up
and
down

the lines went.

Taehyung looked at the monitor
and back at Jungkook.

Monitor
and
Jungkook.

His face was peaceful.

He looks so calm
but he doesn't know the pain he's putting all us in.

Taehyung just wanted him to open his eyes.

At first, he wanted Jungkook to wake up and to look at him.

He wanted him to smile when he saw his face.

He wanted him to say 'I love you too' when he confessed his feelings.

But after the first couple of days,

all he wants now is for him to flutter his eyes open.

For him to wake up.

He didn't care if he'd remember him,
if he'd be happy to see him,
or if he'd love him.

Taehyung just wanted him to have another chance at life.

He deserves everything.

For the sake of his brother,
his parents,
his future,
and a little bit for himself,
he wanted him to wake up.

He wanted to hear the sound of his voice.

His smooth, honey like voice.

He wanted to hear it again.

His laugh,
and tiny giggles.

Instead, all he heard was the monitor.

Beep.

Beep.

Beeeeeeep.
