As soon as the three arrives at the hospital (which thankfully, was the same), Jeongguk secures Storm on the baby carrier and instantly slings it to his back. Both him and Jimin rushes inside the area, eyes searching for their friends among the sea of nurses and patients. Jeongguk tries finding Yoongi, but he fails to do so. He inquires at a nurse's station instead, making sure to pronounce all of his friends' name correctly. The nurse takes down the names and starts searching them up on the computer and it's when they finally got the room numbers that he and Jimin decided to split for a moment. While he goes up the third floor to Taehyung's room, Jimin will go up the fourth for Jin and Namjoon's room.

Jeongguk checks Storm every once in a while and he actually sighs in relief when the kid has fallen asleep again. Once the elevator opens, he spares Jimin one last glance before stepping outside and finding Taehyung's room.

"Oh, God, Tae. Baby," he mumbles and he instantly makes his way towards the figure lying on the bed with a soft smile on his face. Taehyung was already awake, and he must've been waiting for him because as soon as Jeongguk hugs him, he instantly clings tight, his sobs now muffled on the crook of Jeongguk's neck.

"Gukkie... I was so scared... I slipped and it was just so exhausting... The doctor said I fainted after a panic attack and someone brought me here, which I'm guessing it's Yoongi hyung, but I really don't know what else happened before I slipped to little," Taehyung tries hard to not let his voice crack.

"It doesn't matter. I'm just so relieved you're okay now. God, I almost thought I'd lose you..."

They continue to hug each other and maybe Jeongguk thinks it's best if he doesn't tell Taehyung what Yoongi did to him yet. He doesn't know the full story, but he'll make sure to confront the older about it... that is, if he shows up.

After their small talk and whispers of assurances, Jeongguk lays Storm on the couch across Taehyung's bed. He takes his jacket off and drapes it over his son, and he excuses himself outside to visit the married couple just a floor above Taehyung's room. He sends Jimin a text just to confirm the room number and when he opens the door, the heavy feeling in his chest quickly subsided when he sees the three of them chatting animately.

"Namjoon hyung! Jin hyung! You got me so worried!" He whined, taking long strides towards the two. Namjoon was the only one who had an IV attached to him. Jin, on the other hand, only had cuts on his lips and a bandage around his head.

"Hey, buddy. Where's Storm?" Joon asks, motioning Jeongguk to join them and sit on the edge of the hospital bed.

"He's sleeping in Tae's room. He's fine, by the way. How are you feeling?"

"Well, I have a fractured leg, but don't worry I'll be good as new in no time!" Namjoon tries to cheer up the younger. He ruffles his hair and Jeongguk almost cries because of the way Namjoon smiled like nothing happened.

"By the way, have you, uh, seen Yoongi hyung?" Seokjin looks at him with a pained expression before shaking his head gently. He unlocks his phone and hands it to Jeongguk for the younger to see how he had already managed to spam Yoongi with messages and calls but none of them where returned- not even a single read.

"Where could he probably be? Chim? Do you know? Did he text you?" Jimin, who has gone quiet in the corner, looks up at them just to give them a small shrug and going back to spacing out. The three just looked at each other, confused as to what they will do now that they're here together except for Yoongi who went missing.

"Maybe you could talk to him, Chim. He needs someone right now," Seokjin speaks softly, walking close towards Jimin. He lifts the younger's chin, his thumb drawing circles on the skin to soothe him.

"I don't really know, hyung. I'm just- I mean, he doesn't know that I'm angry at him and as much as I'd like to ask him a lot of questions, I don't think I'm ready to face him, yet." Seokjin nods in understanding and releases Jimin's face from his grasp. His attention turns towards Jeongguk and he starts to remove the sweaty bangs stick so close to his eyes.

"You should go back and check on Taehyung, Guk. Jimin's here so you don't have to worry anymore. Go back to your family." Family. Jeongguk never thought he'd be hearing that word again. It makes his insides warm and giddy because he had managed to build another home again- a family, now with Taehyung in it.

He says his goodbyes, hugging Namjoon and Seokjin before heading out. Jimin shows him his way out the door, and before he could even return to Taehyung's room, he plants a soft peck on his best friend's forehead and promises him that he'll be back later in the morning with some food and fresh clothes.

Just as he was about to enter the elevator, his eyes quickly catches on to something- someone; sitting on one of the empty chairs located just beside the nurse's station. He comes closer, and when he had looked close enough, he sits beside him. The stranger seemed to notice the sudden weight close to him but he still had his head down low.

"Yoongi hyung, why won't you go and visit the two inside their room?"

"I fucked up, Guk. If it wasn't for me, all of these would never happen. Joon and Jin hyung got into an accident because of my impulsiveness. I left the house drunk as fuck, not even bothering to leave a note or something before I went out; I crashed in to Taehyung's apartment, shouted at him, made him slip in to headspace; I made Namjoon drive in the middle of the night; I made the two of them find me at 1 in the fucking morning. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be here. I'm so sorry, this is all my fault." Yoongi's body starts shaking uncontrollably. He had his hands cover his face and his knees start bouncing up and down in attempt to calm himself down. Jeongguk was having none of it. He immediately engulfs Yoongi into the tightest hug he could ever manage to give.

"Do not blame yourself for all of these things, hyung. Namjoon and Jin hyung got into an accident because of that drunk driver. Taehyung slipped into little space because he got shocked about what you did but I know you didn't do it intentionally. You were drunk, and I may not know the exact reason why you let yourself get drowned with alcohol, but what I know is that none of us wanted all of these to happen. None of us is at fault. Now pull yourself together and stop blaming yourself. Do you hear me, Yoongi hyung?" Jeongguk pulls away from the hug and shakes Yoongi in the shoulder to get a response from him. The older couldn't even look at him directly in the eyes, ashamed of crying- ashamed of everything. Here he is, making a total mess of himself, but his friends were more than ready to clean everything up for him.

"H-how are they?"

"Namjoon's got a fractured leg and he would probably undergo for surgery in the morning. Jin hyung only had minor injuries, and Taehyung's already awake, hyung. He doesn't remember anything that had happened prior to his panic attack, but I guess it's an advantage so that he wouldn't stress himself about it."

"H-he doesn't remember?"

"He doesn't. The last thing he remembered was how you brought him into this hospital."

Yoongi never felt relieved his entire life. He knee that he fucked everything up by his selfishness, but a part of him is thankful that Taehyung did not remember his confession which was exactly the main reason as to why they're all here. Yoongi will make sure that he gets everything right this time.

After exchanging a few more words here and there, Jeongguk pats Yoongi on the back and tells him to go home and rest so that they could take turns on taking care of their patients in the morning. Yoongi was hesitant at first, especially after knowing that Jimin was upset with him. He doesn't really have the courage to face his boyfriend right now, but he hopes he'll muster some soon so that he could start off by apologizing to the person he has hurt the most.

Jeongguk takes his leave and when he goes back inside his boyfriend's room, the latter already had Storm all snuggled up beside him.

"A nurse came in to check on me so I asked her a favor to carry Storm so that he could sleep comfortably on this bed with me." Taehyung smiles up at him, fingers carding through the little boy's soft locks. Jeongguk kisses the two of them on their foreheads and as much as he wants to join them on the bed, it was impossible since the space was enough for Taehyung and Storm only. So what he does is that he just pulls the two of them to a bear hug, and he hopes the two could sense the meaning behind it- a hug that's meant to deliver a message that says: I will do my best to protect the two of you because I can't afford to lose you- my family, my home.
