"You're an idiot Gukkie," he sighed, "you've got a wound and you still want to lift and press like you weren't just stabbed. For fucks sake." Seokjin turned to the blue haired man in our midst, "Where do you want these puked on boys? That one *pokes his brothers shoulder* can walk himself and I'll carry this one, okay? Good. Now it's sorted where do you want them?" "Jeongguk, Jimin, Seokjin. Follow me this way. We'll put you three doors down for now but I'd like to move you back here once the cleaners have been through." We all nodded and I whimpered painfully as Jeongguk's brother lifted me as carefully as he could in his arms. With Nurse Min grabbing hold of my I.V. drip on its pole and we made our way to a clean room.

PARK JIMIN'S P.O.V.
After we'd all been cleaned and showered and I was settled on the bed, I'd had all my vitals checked and been told I would remain in the hospital as long as Jeongguk was there. I'm pretty sure the nurse said I'd most likely be kept between ten and fourteen days, the same length of time as Jeongguk and as long as his stab wound was healing well and he didn't do anything to strain or break his stitches, we'd be all good to go. Nurse Min disappeared doing whatever it is nurses do, but when he came back he brought some teeny tiny vials of something that and after he injected them into the I.V. drip, I began to feel good- and I mean like, really really good.
A couple of hours after we'd been taken out of the room and my puke was cleaned up (from both the room and ourselves) we were told that we could be moved back. I remembered the nurse telling Kookie not to do anything that would break his stitches and I rolled my eyes. Jeongguk and Taehyung used to get fairly active wherever they were, audience or not, though they tried to tone it down around me and kept it to the softer and more affectionate sides. The thought again brought a smile to my face but this time I was busted. "What's the smile for Ji?" A question pulled me out of my daze.
"Ae? What?" I grunted, drawing a laugh from the three others in the room. "What're you thinking about that's got a goofy smile on your pretty lips?" Jeongguk asked holding my hand. I smiled again. "Remembering when you and that Taelien of yours would always be fluffy and soft when you knew I was around. I didn't tell you guys how much I appreciated it, so, yeah. Thanks." I got embarrassed and covered my face with my free hand. "That sounds like good blackmail you've got there... Care to share?" Joked Seokjin. An evil grin crossed my face, "Sure! I've got lots of stuff you can blackmail those two with, like the time-" I started before a hand clamped down over my mouth.
"Hey Jimin, what do you call a fake spaghetti?" I raised a questioning eyebrow and shrugged when Jeongguk laid the baseline of one of Jin's Dad jokes. "Mmph?" Seokjin butted in with the answer, "It's an impasta!" My muffled little snort of laughter was followed by Seokjin's loud windshield wiper laughter, triggering all of us to laugh with Kookie holding the area above and below his stitches because he was laughing.
"Who's having the party without m-" A new question was started by someone who'd just come into the room but was silenced when he saw me. His dyed silver hair fell in long locks over brilliant blue eyes, his mouth dropped open as he froze where he was. "Ji-Min?" He half asked, half whispered, as if afraid to speak any louder in case it was a dream, tears welling in his eyes as I nodded. "Uh. Surprise?" Kookie said on my behalf. My throat was so sore from first the tube being pulled out and then vomiting everything (including stomach acid) straight after so I just opened my arms to him. I'm sure he jumped from the door onto my bed and I'm positive I'll feel the impact later but for now the both of us hugged like we hadn't seen each other for years.
Two years and some months, to be precise.
Nurse Min excused himself quietly, closing the door behind him, Seokjin followed with a warm smile towards his brother who nodded in thanks.

KIM TAEHYUNG'S P.O.V.
OHMYGOD! Jimin's back!! My Jiminie, my soulmate, my favourite person! I have to find out where he went, why did he go away again? Was it important? Why did he leave us?
"Don't think too hard, you'll break." I heard a raspy, pained voice and feeling the rumble in his chest I figured it was Jimin. I wiped the tears from my eyes, "I can't help it Jiminie. You've been gone so long and I really really missed you, I mean we both did. I have so many questions that I don't know where to start asking them and even if I should ask you some stuff 'cuz I don't want to make you have a panic attack or anything 'cuz I'm pretty sure that you still hate to have them, 'cuz that shit doesn't go away ever and mmphhmph-" I was stopped by a hand firmly covering my mouth and a familiar arm around my waist. "Taeby, let him breathe. I didn't tell you yet but I decided that when we move in together your soulmate is moving in with us."
I looked at my boyfriend to make sure I'd heard right. "Seriously? YAASS!" I shouted in excitement. Jimin flinched back so badly when I yelled, surprising me. I'd thought we had helped him through all of that, even though I didn't know what he'd been through since he'd left us. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to yell. Can you talk much?" I said to him gently, hoping I wouldn't scare him again. My face fell when he shook his head. I saw him reach to my Gukkie and start tapping the hand he offered, the one that wasn't wrapped around my waist, my boyfriend smiled at him and the way he cared for Jimin still melted my heart.
He looked after my soulmate and me so well. Jeongguk looked at me, "He's speaking code again." My other half explained, my heart melting at his lips that curved upwards because I love his totally adorable smile. "He wants you to know he'll only move in if you're okay with it? Ji doesn't want to intrude on our.. *coughs* uh.. intimacy." Jimin smacked Gukkie and glared at him, gesturing for him to say exactly what he'd told Gukkie. I figured what Jimin had told him wasn't what he repeated out loud and laughed, my boyfriend pouted and gave a look that said 'do I have to?' that had my soulmate nodding furiously. "UGH! Fine! He said he doesn't want to interrupt us sucking face or fucking like rabbits."
Jeongguk's face was bright red and he was looking down. It was cute to see him so embarrassed. I snickered at the look on his face, "You're so cute Gukk." "Am not." He mumbled half-heartedly. After my boyfriend had caught me up on what had happened and the nurse had brought dinner for two of the most important guys in my life, given both of them checkups and medications, I was told I had to leave in another hour. It made me sad that we wouldn't get to spend much time together for the rest of today but I knew I would see Gukkie again in the morning. I'd come in before work and I needed to get Gukkie's signature on the lease agreement before we could organise to pick up the keys for our new place.
I can't believe it's less than two weeks to go until we are finally going to live together - AND my platonic soulmate will there too!

??? 's P.O.V.
"There you are you little bitch. You won't get away that easily." I snickered cruelly, watching my ex-boyfriend from the doorway, giggling when I saw him shiver and look around with startled eyes; you know the kind you see on an animal that knows it's being stalked, watched - hunted. I pulled up the Doctors mask I'd borrowed and moved along the corridor away from my prey, for now.
