When Jungkook breaks up with Jimin without explanation Jimin doesn't understand what's going on. He's hurt and angry, but that anger quickly turns into something else when he suddenly receives a message on his anonymous twitter account where he posts other people's confessions...

Jeongguk walked slowly through the bright corridors. Around him nurses and doctors where rushing around, as well as a few patients. He had already disliked being here when he was the patient, be it for surgery or chemotherapy. But this, now, was much worse. Never has he felt so helpless before. Jimin, his sweet, loving Jimin was laying unconscious in one of these ugly beds and it was basically his fault.Â
He didnât care what Taehyung or the others said, Jimin overworked himself because he was worrying about him, because he felt the need to do what Jeongguk couldnât do himself, because Jeongguk was too busy drowning in selfpity he didnât see how Jimin worked himself to the bone. Jeongguk didnât know what to do, he was so angry at himself but at the same time he felt so lifeless without Jimin. He realized that Jimin was his battery, was what kept him going and now that Jimin himself was sucked dry off all energy Jeongguk felt like he might collapse as well.Â
Jeongguk reached Jimins room and stopped in the opened door frame. Taehyung was still there, as well as his hyungs. Taehyung was sitting on the edge of the bed and Namjoon and Yoongi on chairs, next to the only, small window in the room. He just stood there and stared at Jimins unmoving figure. He looked so small and fragile, with his pale cheeks and chest just barely rising and falling.Â
With his head down he slowly made his way into the room and over to Jimins bed, sitting down on the side of it. No one said a word but he could feel their gazes on him as they waited for Jimin to wake up. It took maybe one hour but for Jeongguk it felt like ten thousand until Jimins eyes finally flattered and opened. He blinked rapidly, since his eyes werenât used to the brightness, and frowned, looking around once he could make out his surroundings. Jeongguk held his hand tightly and scooped a bit closer.
âHey,â He rasped out. Jimins eyes focused on him.
âWhat happened?â He asked with a small pout, his voice strained.
âIâm gonna go get the doctor.â Yoongi mumbled and left the room.
âYou fainted, you massive idiot!â Jeongguk choked as new tears were stinging in his eyes. Jimins pout intensified. He always had a habit of becoming a bit childish and needy when he wasnât feeling well and even more so if someone also scolded him.Â
"I did? Why?" The younger asked completely oblivious. Tae on his other side snorted.
"What do you think, huh?" Taehyung said but he sounded more sad than mad.Â
"Your body collapsed because you overworked yourself. Too less sleep and food." Jeongguk explained. "I fucking told you!" He choked out as his throat closed up. "I told you so often that you do too much but you just wouldn't listen!" Jimin sat up with a lot of effort and reached out to caress Jeongguks cheek softly.
"I'm sorry baby, I really thought I was fine. I didn't mean to scare you. It's not your fault." The older said and brushed his thumb over Jeongguks cheek. The youngers lip started to wobble at that. Jimin really just read his mind like that.Â
"Just promise me from now on you'll listen to me, when I say you do too much!" He pouted and Jimin nodded weakly. Moments later the doctor came explained everything to Jimin, as well as warning him to take better care of himself in the future.Â
Jimin has to stay in the hospital for another night and the others stay for as long as possible. Yoongi and Namjoon leave first, then at one point Tae until it's only the two of them left. For minutes and minutes they just sit there in silence. Jeongguk on the clappy armchair and Jimin half-laying on the bed. They stare at each other while Jeongguk holds Jimins smaller hand in both of his and caresses the soft skin.
"You really scared me today." The younger whispered after a while.Â
"I'm sorry. Please, don't blame yourself." Jeongguk scoffed at that.Â
"Why do I keep hurting or losing the people that I love?" He choked out. Jimin sat up alarmed, noticing the shift in Jeongguks expression. The sudden sorrow, the still not overcame grief, the deep pain. And Jimins heart hurt for him, his heart hurt so much for the boy in front of him, the boy he loves.Â
He doesn't understand either. Why life keeps on making Jeongguks life hard and painful, why he has to face hardship after hardship. Jimin has never met anyone who has went through so much shit and not given up yet, not lost faith in everything. He wishes he could take all the pain from the youngers shoulder. Even if just for a day, just so that Jeongguk can breath again.Â
"I don't know." Jimin whispers, because he doesn't know what else to say. He doesn't know because it's not fair. It makes no sense. He lightly tucks on the others hands, inviting Jeongguk to join him on the bed. Once the younger is settled he wraps his arms tightly around Jeongguks middle.Â
"I'm really okay." He assured. "I promise to be more careful from now on. So I'll get better and soon you'll get better and then I won't allow anymore shit to happen to you. It's enough, it's time for our happy end!"
Their happy end. Jeongguk really liked the sound of that. Unfortunately he couldn't really believe in it. Not with his ongoing therapy, not with Jimin currently in the hospital.
And not with his parents suddenly standing in front of his apartment as he got home.
