It was like any other day. Seokjin opened the car door to be greeted by the screams of the fans who came to welcome them.
Giving them the brightest smile he could, Seokjin raised his hands and started to wave at the fans. Walking right behind the boys, Seokjin took a look at his surroundings. Jimin was being his usual charming smile, his eye smile even more obvious today. Namjoon with his dimples, Taehyung being his usual enthusiatic self, his red hair flying all over the place. Jungkook was flashing his boyish smile, making all them noona fans melt, Hoseok was waving so hard, exuding sunshine and warmth. And well, Yoongi was being Yoongi, a small smile, a small wave here and there.
Given the amount of the fans present, Seokjin shouldn't have found it weird when a burly man started to approach the front of the barricade. He furrowed his brows, trying to take a better look at him. The man's face was contorted by anger, lips seemed to be furling.
A glint caught Seokjin's eyes and he realized the man was holding a knife. His heart filled with urgency as he saw the man run towards his boys, towards Namjoon actually. "Namjoon!" Seokjin yelled desperately, running as fast as his legs would take him.
Please don't let anything happen to him. To any of them. That was the only thought in Seokjin's mind as he rushed with outstretched arms to push Namjoon away.
Seokjin hands collided with Namjoon's body and an overwhelming sense of relief overcame him. Thank god. Then the excruciating pain registered. Seokjin clutched his already pale hands towards his wound, and collapsed. His knees could no longer support him. The pain came in different intensities and Seokjin's hand came away slippery with blood.
Taehyung was the very first to react. He didn't even have anytime to register what happened. All he saw was his eldest Hyung pushing Namjoon Hyung away from a man and afterwards, the alarming shade of red spreading through his pink shirt. "Hyung!!!" Taehyung immediately kneeled down to Seokjin's side, grabbing his hand. The other members eyes widened as they all rushed to their hyung's side.
It was chaotic. The guards immediately went to subdue the man. The fans were all screaming and crying. Photography flashes were going off everywhere. The attacker was pinned down by the security and was howling in anger. "Fuck you Kim Namjoon."
The 6 boys paid no heed to the chaos, their attention solely on their eldest. "Hyung…Hyung!! Stay awake!!" Jungkook and Hoseok yelled to Seokjin, who was slowly losing his conscious. "Seokjin Hyung, please wake up. Let the ambulance come and help you. Don't fall asleep now." Namjoon cried, holding his hand while looking at his unconscious hyung. Yoongi remained silent, but his tears, the furrow of his brows showed just how much worried he was.
Tears were in all the boys eyes and it felt like forever till the ambulance came.
Deep wound. May have internal injury. Surgery required right now. Transfer 2 units of blood.
Situation not looking good.
Namjoon borrowed his head in his hands and cried, hearing what the doctors said. "Seokjin Hyung…"
The constant beeping woke Seokjin up. Looking around, he spotted the boys sleeping. Squinting his eyes against the glaring hospital light, he brought his arm to block it, only to find an array of tubes and wires attached to him. That's a whole lot of wires for a stab wound. Seokjin thought to himself, as he tried to tug the wires away to sit upright. What he managed to do was to detach the wire from the machine and set off the alarm. Another day, Kim Seokjin. Well done. As if getting stab wasn't enough. Seokjin prepared himself for the boys.
The alarm certainly did wake the boys up, more like the maknae line woke up first. "Yoongi Hyung! Yoongi Hyung!!" Jungkook tugged on Yoongi's shirt, "Seokjin Hyung..." At the word of Seokjin Hyung, the hyung line immediatly woke up and without even asking, Hoseok ran to get the doctor.
"Guys" Seokjin softly said, albeit a little weakly. Somehow comically, the boys turned their head and rushed towards his bedside.
"Hyung!!" "You're awake!" "Hyung, does it hurt? " Seokjin Hyung, you feeling okay?" Jungkook, Jimin and Taehyung practically shouted in a jumble, trying to grab hold of their precious hyung hand. Slightly overwhelmed, Seokjin simply smiled.
Yoongi approached the maknae, and knocked them on the head. "Stop disturbing Seokjin Hyung. He can't deal with you guys right now." Seokjin simply smiled up to Yoongi, as he came in for a hug.
"I'm glad you're okay hyung." Yoongi had whispered, his hands tightening around Seokjin's hospital gown. Seokjin caught the desperateness in Yoongi's voice and simply returned his hug, soft hands stroking through Yoongi's grey hair.
"DOCTORS HERE. IS SEOK JIN HYUNG OKAY?" Hoseok rushed to the room, with a panting doctor behind him.
"Hyung!!!" Hoseok eyes widened as he spotted his now conscious hyung. He rushed in for a slightly too strong hug. Seokjin winced, but still tenderly patted his back. His hospital gown was slowly dampened by Hoseok's tears and now mucus, as Hoseok sniffed. He only stopped when Namjoon pulled him away.
"Mr Kim Seokjin. Glad to see you up and awake so fast. Stab wound patients don't usually recover so well, especially in your case." Taking a look at his chart, the doctor continued, " Just one more cm away would be your liver. If the knife had actually injured you there, you would be in ICU right now, Mr Kim. Consider yourself very lucky. On the bright note, I would expect you to be out of the hospital the day after. "
Jimin squawked, "The day after?! Is that even enough for Seokjin hyung to recover?"
The doctor simply nodded and left the room. Seokjin smiled up to the boys, "No biggie, guys. I'll be better soon." Namjoon had exploded then. "Hyung?! No biggie? You...you got stabbed. Because of me." Namjoon frowned. "If... if it wasn't for me, Hyung wouldn't even be lying on the hospital bed." Namjoon tears dripped down his face, despite his effort to stop them from flowing down.
Seokjin smiled, his warm motherly smile. He knew that Namjoon would place all the blame on himself, and wouldn't stop doing so unless Seokjin did something.
"Namjoon ah, sit with me." Seokjin had said while patting the hospital bed. Namjoon made his way there and plopped down. "You know it wasn't your fault. If it was anybody's fault, it's mine." Namjoon head had popped up at his words. "Do not take this on yourself, alright?" More tears dripped down Namjoon's face at the eldest word and he gripped Seokjin's hand with a deathgrip.
The boys cried out and came in for a group hug. Seokjin grinned despite the pain when an arm came in contact with his wound, "Guys, I'm dying over here."
"Whoops. Sorry Hyung." The group said sheepishly.
A few days later, Seokjin found some rather good benefits to his inccident.
On twitter, Jinthehero was trending worldwide, with pictures and videos showing Seokjin's heroic act. Fans were incredibly concerned and local news and some international news even reported about him. The more publicity the better? Seokjin thought as he shrugged his shoulders. Scrolling through twitter, Seokjin spotted his picture and took a double take. Blond hair in disarray, greenish pale tint on his face, and a slight show of a double chin?!
Seokjin brought the phone to Taehyung's face. "I look horrible." Taehyung had simply laughed, exasparated that his hyung would even look at his face at such a situation. Being as careful as he could, Taehyung brought his arms gently around Seokjin's waist and looked up.
"Hyung, you always look good." Seokjin's laugh and hair ruffle afterwards had made his day.
The most important benefit really was the fact that the 6 boys were so much more well behaved now. Taehyung, Jimin and Hoseok's room was considerably quiet at night, for their eldest rest. Namjoon and Jungkook's room was way neater than before. They didn't want their hyung to pick up their mess. Yoongi returned home a lot earlier from studio, probably to take care of the eldest.
Leaning against the counter, Seokjin smiled, " Anything for my family."
