Chapter Text
"Jimin had his insecurities, but we all do. Jimin seems very happy.." Jin didn't look up as he spoke. Dr.Kim hummed scribbling on his clipboard with a small silver pen. "The past few days, was Jimin acting any different than usual? Slower, not as happy?" Namjoon nodded "Yeah, he was less clingy than usual. But he had just gone through a breakup so I didn't think much of it." The doctor nodded "Was this a particularly bad break up? Did the two have problems? Or was it a one sided break up."
Jungkook opened his mouth no doubt to make a sassy remark and Jin took that as his cue "The two loved each other a lot. But the breakup was one sided, Jimin was devastated." More scribbling on his clipboard had Hoseok on edge, was that all he could do write on a clipboard? When his friend and roommate was stuck in this insufferable hospital that smelled like clorox and windex?
"Mm" He scribbled some more. "Tell me about Mr. Park's Insecurities. What were they? How did he deal with them?" The doctor ran a hand through his hair looking eerily similar to Jimin and it unsettled Hoseok. "Jimin Is quite a perfectionist. Sometimes he just sets the bar impossibly high for himself. He used to struggle with his vocal skills, but he has been much better about it." Yoongi offered an answer this time "He also has had struggles with body image, he'll go on these diets. But he's never tried to deal with anything drastically."
As he finished a nurse opened the door looking a bit frantic "Dr. Kim its Mrs.Lee again, she just went off, says she won't talk to anyone but you." Dr. Kim nodded to her, then turned his attention back to the bangtan boys "I need to go right now, Ii know the six of you are worried right now. But I assure you someone will be here to talk to you soon." He gave them a curt nod of his head before exiting the room with the nurse at his side.
"I'm getting a drink" Jungkook voiced headed to the door, Namjoon saw that as his golden opportunity to talk to the maknae "I'll go with you." Yoongi looked up "Grab me a water, yeah?"
They left the room together silently making their way down the hallway. Jungkook stared at the squared off white floor with green specks, feeling his hyungs gaze on him. "I didn't mean what I said y'know." Namjoon didn't answer, just continued walking by his side "I-I'm just so angry. I'm mad at myself for not being there for him." Jungkook ran a hand through his hair, a habit he'd started to pick up from Jimin "Tae was right, I left him when it was convenient for me. I thought I was doing right by him, that he would be happier without me. But I was just being selfish."
Tears started to streak the youngers puffy face "I still love him Namjoon. But I know I hurt him. Even after I broke up with him the last two days he's shown me nothing but kindness, I ignored and only showed aggression. I don't deserve him namjoon." A choked sob escaped Jungkook and in that moment Namjoon saw how young he really was. All he could offer the younger was a hug, not knowing what to say.
"I took out my anger on Taehyung and I feel horrible, I know how much he cares about Jimin. But he looked so indifferent. It ma- It made me so angry, the words just left my mouth. I really didn't mean it! Please don't be mad at me! I'm just so worried Namjoon, I miss him and i'm scared that this is serious. I still l-" another sob leaves him "I still love him! What if it's too late? What if he'll never take me back namjoon, what if he hates me? What if he's hurt really bad?" Jungkook knew he was starting to ramble but it felt so good to get all this off his chest, and he didn't think he trusted talking to anyone more in this moment than Namjoon. He felt safe in the leaders warm arms.
"Oh kookie.." Namjoon rarely used that name, but somehow to semed to relax him "Jimin could never hate you." Namjoon pulled away from the hug and patted his head "You really shouldn't have taken your anger and insecurities out on anyone. But… I understand why you did it. I'm not mad at you, no one is. Were all scared. You shouldn't have come at Tae like that, but he shouldn't have come at you either. We're all scared." Jungkook's eyes remained glued to the ground, refusing to look Namjoon in the eye.
"You really hurt Jimin. But I know for a fact he still loves you. You made a mistake, and you know that. I know in my heart that Jimin will take you back but he might need time to fully trust you again, and if you really like him you'll wait." Jungkook looked up eyes wide in alarm "I'll wait as long as he needs! I just want him to be happy, whether it's with me or not." "Then you need to tell him that." Jungkook's face flickered a look of determination "I will."
Namjoon smiled at him "How about we get those drinks now, yeah?" They continued down the hall turning once the 'VENDING' sign made itself visible on the upper wall. They turned into a small room with five vending machines, Two next to each other on the left, Two on the right, and one against the back wall. The two on the left held things like earbuds and toiletries such as tampons. On the right wall was snacks, one with organic foods and the other with straight up unadulterated junk. The one they had come for though was o the back wall, It held a wide variety of hot and cold drinks.
Namjoon went for a coffee, and swiftly got a water for Yoongi. Jungkook got himself a banana milk, and decided on getting Taehyung a coke as a peace offering and apology as he didn't have the words to give a spoken one.
They made their way back down the hallway feeling better. But as they neared the waiting room Namjoon got an uneasy feeling, like something bad was about to happen. Jungkook must have felt the same because he looked tense next to him. The door was left slightly open and the two band members were met with the four other healthy members along with BangPD-nim and a foreign lookig doctor.
The feeling Namjoon had stated to grow bigger, it was starting to crush him. The doctor turned to him and smiled a dazzling white smile, he had blond hair with sparkling green eyes. He couldn't have been more than twenty seven. He spoke to Namjoon in an american accent "You must be namjoon. I'm Dr. Talbot, me and your boss here would like to speak to you privately."
If only Namjoon had known what the private meeting would hold.
