Chapter Text
It was the monday morning again, which means it's time to go back to work for Jungkook. It was a usual day for him, he came to work and straight dove into the pile of paper works that was waiting for him, sometimes he hated being the boss. Maybe if he was just some project manager, he wouldn't have this much work. He sometimes felt like he was going to go crazy thank god he had a boyfriend to keep him sane. He sighed, boyfriend. He hadn't texted Jimin or called him and neither did the other.
Jungkook groaned rubbing his face in frustration, it was 11am already and his stubborn ass was still not going to call his boyfriend to apologize. He was still mad and he intended on making Jimin apologize for what he said
"How could he even think about leaving me? Hah, as if I will let him. He must be crazy" Jungkook mumbled to himself as he started going through the paperworks Infront of him to distract himself from all the thoughts. He doesn't remember being this mad, maybe he was over reacting but he felt hurt when Jimin said that. Even though it was to annoy Jungkook, it hurt little Jungkook's heart and he didn't like it. Jungkook didn't even notice his secretary entering the room until a loud sound of someone clearing their throat was heard
Jungkook startled looked up, wide eyed and scared of the sudden presence. Seokjin apologized, he was a man of a very few word, he fit well with Jungkook. Both of them spoke very less and was always considered a "mean" person but people close to them knew how soft they were for the people they care about. Seokjin however was a very loyal man, he never spoke a word against Jungkook. Whatever Jungkook said could be considered done and deal, Seokjin always told the employees below him that an employee should always know their place.
"Sir, I got a call from your boyfriend Ji-"
"Seokjin I have a meeting, can we please focus on that rightnow? I don't want to think of anything else rightnow. It's a really important meeting, a very long one too. It's better to start early" Jungkook said pretending to not care as he grabbed his essentials and Seokjin hesitated but bowed and followed his boss out for the meeting
~8 hours later~
Jungkook stretched groaning at the satisfaction of his bones cracking. He had successfully finished 3 meetings and signed two tonnes of files and papers. It was already 7pm, he quickly picked up his phone but his energy all dies down when he sees no messages or calls from Jimin. He sighed plopping down on his chair and closed his eyes, maybe Jimin was really mad at him this time. He gloomily walked up to the car with Seokjin following him behind to go back home finally after a tiring day
Seokjin starts the car driving out of the parking lot when Jungkook speaks up
"Take me to Jimin" He says and Seokjin waits for a few second before answering with a quiet 'Yes sir' and continues driving but it confuses Jungkook and look at his driver
"Jimin's apartment is the other way, why are you driving this way?" Jungkook asks confused and Seokjin gulps looking through the mirror, Jungkook doesn't miss the way his grip on the wheel tightens. He raises his brows in a questioning manner
"Sir, Jimin is not home rightnow" Seokjin replied curtly, he was always a confident man but rightnow even he was looking for the right word to say. He knows how Jungkook is when he gets angry or anxious, only Jimin was the one who could help him calm his nerve but obviously Jimin wasn't around, so Seokjin was not sure how to break him the news
"Well where is he then? He never goes out during week days" Jungkook asked annoyed by the lack of knowledge. Jimin always told him where he was, every chance Jimin got, he would let his boyfriend know about his whereabouts because he knew how much his boyfriend worries about him. And Jungkook did the same, intact, Jungkook would make sure Jimin is informed of all his schedule. Jimin found it unnecessary but cute.
Seokjin gulped and let out a huge breath before gripping the wheels tighter
"Sir, Jimin is currently at hospital" Seokjin dropped the bomb. For atleast good 20 seconds, he got no response from the boss. It was a pin drop silence but finally after a dreadful long silence, he spoke
"What happened? Is his friend sick?" Jungkook asked calmly but anyone could see how scared he was and was trying to keep his nerve calm. He didn't want to assume anything bad and freak out Infront of his assistant. He was Jeon Jungkook for fucks sake, he NEEDED to be calm
"No sir, I'm afraid it's not his friend. Its-"
"Drive faster" Jungkook ordered coldly. He didn't need to hear anything more than that. He didn't need to hear it, he knew what was coming and he didn't want to hear it. Seokjin solemnly nodded and drove faster than he usually does. And as soon as he parked the car, Jungkook walked out of the car with Seokjin sprinting to catch up. His footsteps fastened as he approached the reception
"Park Jimin, 23 years old male" Jungkook making the young nurse look up from his computer with a skeptical look and got back to typing on his computer
"We aren't allowed to give away a patient's information unless it's their family. Are you his family?" The nurse asked making Jungkook clench his fist in anger and was about to yell when Seokjin burst through the door with his phone in his hand and a set of doctors hurrying towards the reception
"Mr.Jeon! What a surprise! Please come join us at the office-"
"No. Show me where my Jimin is. Now" Jungkook demanded looking probably the most furious he has ever looked in his entire existence. He wasn't sure why or to whom he was furious at but he felt so helpless and he didn't like
"Jiyon, what are you doing standing there? Look for Park Jimin's room and details immediately" A man in his 50s said slightly warning him to hurry with his eyes. The male nurse immediately apologized and started typing away as fast as he could and before he could even find the information, Seokjin interrupted
"Jungkook, I know his room and floor. Let's go" Seokjin said and something in Jungkook just broke, his face looked like he wanted to scream and cry in relief when he heard that. He didn't want to waste another second on anything. He wanted to see his boyfriend as soon as he could.
"I don't want anyone following me around. Leave me alone and I want the best doctor here to be incharge of Jimin. I don't care even if it's the smallest infection or the deadliest virus, I want him recovered ASAP" Jungkook grit out at the bunch of senior doctors that stood Infront of him before he marched towards the elevator with Seokjin by his side
The ride to the 5th floor never felt this long. Jungkook can't figure out why the lift was too slow, he kept fidgeting and tapping his shoes making Seokjin look at him briefly
"He is fine. Namjoon was with him since the morning and he told me Jimin is fine. So stop freaking out" Seokjin said standing straight with his usual calm face and Jungkook gulped
"Why didn't you tell me he was here if you knew he wasn't well" Jungkook asked harshly, he was beyond angry. Seokjin looked like he had alot of information, he was confused as to why he wasn't informed about it earlier.
"Well I did come to you to tell you about him earlier but you told me to focus on the meeting. Plus you worked for months for this deal, so I figured I could handle this before you take over it with your psychopathic behaviour" Seokjin said making Jungkook groan in frustration remembering Seokjin come into his office to talk about Jimin. If he had known Jimin was in this situation, he would have given up all the deals in this world for him. He doesn't care how much money he looses or gain from any deals, he just wants Jimin to be safe, he failed at it today.
Seokjin walked out first with Jungkook following behind. After passing by a few doors and corners, a tired looking Namjoon comes in view and Jungkook fastens his pace
"Where is he? What happened? Where is the doctor? Why isn't the team here yet?" Jungkook bombards the rapper with questions and before Namjoon could tell him to calm down, a voice greets him
"Considering this is a hospital, I would love if you fellows can keep your voices low. This area is private and most patients are taking rest" A doctor said with a smile which caught Jungkook's attention
"You are a doctor. Where is Jimin? And what happened to him? Is he okay? I want him okay and recovered in next two hours" Jungkook demanded making the doctor look at him in surprise at the demand. Jungkook looked at the name tag 'Jung Hoseok' it read. He still had a calm smile on his face
"You must be the 'Baby' Jimin had in his phone. Well Jimin is fine now, I brought him here last night. I was on my way home from a family gathering when I saw him dozing off at a bus stand, considering he wasn't boarding the bus when he was supposed to, I approached him and his temperature had drastically dropped due to the extreme cold. I tried asking him stuffs but he was slurring his words. Dropping temperature, dozing off with slurring words could only mean one thing" Dr.Jung said and Jungkook felt like he couldn't breath, everything was his fault.
If he hadn't left Jimin out in the street just because of his anger, his Jimin wouldn't have been at this state rightnow. The guilt of seeing Jimin in this state made his knees weak and mouth dry. Everything was blur, he stumbled a few steps back but Seokjin immediately caught him and sat him down while Hoseok checked him but Jungkook could care less about himself rightnow
"It could mean what doctor? What happened to him?" Jungkook asked
"Hypothermia. It was severe, he wasn't in position to respond. But I brought him to the emergency and we immediately started our procedure on him. He is completely fine now, so please don't worry. He woke up an hour ago for few minutes, it's a good sign. It means he is out of danger now. He said I should treat him well and get him better or else a very angry old man will barge in to my office and kill me" Hoseok said and somehow Jungkook chuckled sadly, Seokjin and Namjoon watched by side with a soft smile and brimming tears in their eyes
"You bet I will. Can I see him now?" Jungkook asked and Hoseok nodded his head and walked down few doors and stopped with Jungkook by his side.
"I'll leave you guys to talk but please make sure to not let him out of his bed and gets rest. I'll be in the next room. Our head just texted me in all caps to be in your service the whole time so I'll be just a few calls away" Hoseok jokes before walking away
Jungkook stands at the door for few seconds before looking towards the two guys who nodded at him as an encouragement to go in. He slowly turned the knob and entered, the wanted to run out of the room as soon as he stepped in. The scene broke his heart in so many ways that he couldn't even imagine. There laid the love of his life, in bed with all the wires connected to him with the machine beeping at a steady pace indicating that the patient was stable. He sat the stool by the bed and as if it was timed, the years started brimming in his eyes.
"I'm not dead you know old man?" A hoarse voice croaked and Jungkook whipped his head up the fastest he has ever done in his life. There he was, staring back at him with his eyes almost closed with a soft pained smile and it was the last straw for Jungkook, he started sobbing.
In the entire three years that they had known eachother, Jimin never saw him cry like this. Jungkook always was on his "CEO act" 24/7, always so strict and to the point. He never shed a year Infront of the younger and now here he was, sobbing like a baby in front of his boyfriend. Jimin didn't speak a word, he silently just patted Jungkook's head until the older calmed down. It wasn't just plain sobs though, endless apologies was in them too. Apology for putting Jimin where he was rightnow and Jimin listened. He didn't interrupt and let the older get out everything he wanted to say and when he was done, he slowly sat up and held Jungkook's hand looking into his eyes.
"This wasn't completely your fault baby, trust me. I am an adult, I should have known better than to walk around cashless and in such thin clothing. It was fault on my side too. We definitely have issues we need to figure out in our relationship, we need to find better ways to solve our problems rather than running away from it. Face it like an adult and get it over with, okay? We will do that right after I'm out of this hell hole" Jimin says and Jungkook stares at the younger's face for few seconds before whispering his doubt
"You aren't going to leave me?" Jungkook asked, his voice hoarse from crying but the worry in it was evident and it pained Jimin seeing him like that. He shook his head
"I think I love you way too much to let you go that easily old man" Jimin teased and Jungkook doesn't waste another second before pulling his boyfriend to a tight hug with a small 'Im not that old' making Jimin laugh out loud
