Chapter 7: Chapter 6: Stars
Jimin woke up in pain.
He groaned.
It felt like he was hit by a truck. His whole body felt weak and he ached all over. It was too much for him to just open up his eyes.
He groaned again, waking Jungkook up.
Jungkook tightened his grip on Jimin's hand and kissed it.
"Come on, wake up, baby."
'Jungkook?! Oh god, Jungkook , thank god you're here!' Jimin's mind screamed.
He tried harder to open up his eyes.
"Come on, jimin, I'm here, just open up your eyes." Jungkook begged, on the verge of tears.
After a couple of times trying and failing, he finally got his eyes opened.
A few tears fell as Jungkook hugged Jimin , burying his face in his chest.
"Oh, thank god, I thought I lost ya! Oh god, Jiminna, ya don't know how happy I am to see ya!"
Jimin wanted to hug him back, but his arms felt like they weighed a ton. He opened up his mouth to say something, but it hurt to speak to.
"jimin," Jungkook asked in concern, pulling back a bit to stare at him in concern.
Jimin opened and closed his mouth several times, trying to speak, when he finally sucked it up and forced himself to speak.
"W-w-what … h-hap-pened," His voice came out raspy and weak.
Jungkook's eyes widened a little.
"Y-ya don't remember what happened to ya?"
Jimin carefully shook his head.
Jungkook stayed silent, not sure if he should tell him or not.
"Ya-ya got ... jumped by Socs." He finally answered quietly, not lying, but not telling the complete truth either.
That's when all the memories of that day came back at jimin in full force. His stiff, achy body started shaking as tears streamed down his eyes.
"O-oh … g-god … J-Jun-gkook ,"
Jungkook immediately pulled Jimin back into an embrace, being careful with the tubes as he held Jimin in his arms. Jimin buried his pale, tear streaked face in his chest, wrapping his arms limply around him.
"I-I-I-It … w-w-was … h-h-h-hor-rible,"
"I'm sure it was, Jimin ." Jungkook whispered softly in his ear, tears of his own falling.
"I'm sorry, Jimin ."
Jimin pulled back, so he could look up at him.
"W-why … a-are … y-you … s-s-sorry,"
More tears escaped as Jungkook looked away ashamedly.
"It's … my fault. You're here and you're hurt all cuz of my selfishness. If I would a just kept my feelings to myself … w-we wouldn't be in this mess."
"N-no … J-Jungkook," Jimin assured. "N-no-ne … of … it … w-was … y-your … f-fau-lt."
He sighed, but it sounded more like a wheeze.
"Jimin , are ya ok?" Jungkook asked with slight panic.
Jimin didn't answer; instead he pulled away from Jungkook and slowly turned to his side, so he could look out the window.
It was night time; it was a clear night, so stars covered the night sky.
"I-I-It's … t-their … f-fault … T-they … d-don't … u-under-stand … W-what … d-did … w-we … d-do … t-to … d-d-deserve … t-this? … J-just … f-for … l-loving … e-each … o-other? … A-aren't … w-we … h-human? … D-don't … w-we … h-have … f-feelings?"
He paused to cough. He was talking too much and it was wearing him out more than he already was.
"O-or … a-are … w-we … in ... s-space … or … some-thing?"
jimin stared out at the stars.
"J-Jun-gkook… l-lets … r-run … a-away," He said suddenly.
Jungkook's eyes widened in surprise, not expecting that.
"W-what? Are ya sure? Where would we go?"
"Some place where we can be free, to be us without judgment," jimin whispered so quietly, so his voice didn't come out all crackly and weak like it did when he tried to talk normally.
How did we ever go this far? You touch my hand and start the car And for the first time in my life I'm crying. Are we in space? Do we belong Someplace where no one calls it wrong And like the stars we burn away The miles. How did we ever get this far? It shouldn't have to be this hard. Now for the first time in my life I'm flying. Are we in love? Do we deserve To bear the shame of this whole world? And like the night we camouflage Denial.
