Still With You ?

19

A few minutes later, the water stopped, and Jin heard movement inside the room. He knocked gently on the door. “Kookie? It’s me, Hyung. Can I come in?”

There was a brief pause before Jungkook’s voice, quiet and flat, responded. “Yeah.”

Jin opened the door and stepped inside. Jungkook was sitting on the edge of his bed, his hair damp and his face pale. He was dressed in a simple black hoodie and sweatpants, his hands resting limply in his lap. He didn’t look up when Jin entered.

“Hey,” Jin said softly, closing the door behind him. “How are you feeling?”

Jungkook shrugged, his eyes fixed on the floor. “Fine.”

Jin hesitated, unsure of how to proceed. He could see the exhaustion in Jungkook’s posture, the way his shoulders slumped as if carrying an invisible weight. But he also knew Jungkook wouldn’t open up easily. “tae said You looked really tired earlier. Did you eat anything?”

“Not hungry,” Jungkook mumbled.

Jin sighed, sitting down on the bed beside him. “Kookie, you need to take care of yourself. If you’re not feeling well, you can talk to me, okay? Or Tae. We’re here for you.”

Jungkook didn’t respond, his expression blank. Jin reached out, gently placing a hand on his shoulder. “You don’t have to carry everything alone. We’re your family.”

For a brief moment, Jungkook’s mask seemed to crack, his eyes flickering with something—pain, regret, longing. But just as quickly, it was gone, replaced by the same distant expression.

“I’m fine” he said quietly. “Just tired.”

Jin studied him for a moment, his heart aching. He wanted to push, to ask what was really going on, but he knew better. Jungkook had always been closed off, even before the accident. And now, with no memories of his past, it was even harder to reach him.

“Okay,” Jin said finally, standing up. “Get some rest, alright? If you need anything, just let me know.”

Jungkook nodded, still not meeting his eyes.

Jin gave him one last worried glance before leaving the room, closing the door softly behind him. He leaned against the wall, running a hand through his hair.

Something was wrong—he could feel it. But without Jungkook opening up, there was little he could do.

He sighed and went to freshen up. After freshning he thought to check on tae again

Downstairs, Tae was still working on his model, humming softly to himself. Jin watched him for a moment, a small smile returning to his face.

Despite everything, Tae’s energy was a constant source of comfort.

He walked over and sat down beside him.

“How’s it going?” Jin asked, picking up a stray piece of material.

Tae grinned, holding up the nearly finished model. “Almost done! What do you think?”

Jin studied it, nodding in approval. “It looks great, Tae. You’ve really outdone yourself this time.”

Tae’s smile widened, and he leaned against Jin’s shoulder. “Thanks, Hyung. You always know how to make me feel better.”

Jin wrapped an arm around him, pulling him close. “That’s what I’m here for.”

For a moment, they sat in comfortable silence, the weight of the day slowly lifting. But Jin’s thoughts kept drifting back to Jungkook, to the pain he had seen in his eyes. He didn’t know how to help him, but he was determined to try. No matter what it took, he would find a way to bring his little brother back.

Meanwhile, in jungkook's room, Jungkook lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. The pill had dulled the headache, but the ache in his chest remained. He thought about Hae-in, about her smile, her voice, the way she had always made him feel safe. And then he thought about his brothers—Jin, Tae, the others. They cared about him, he knew that. But he couldn’t shake the feeling that he didn’t deserve it.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered to the empty room, his voice barely audible. “I’m so sorry.”

And as the tears slipped down his cheeks, he wondered if he would ever feel whole again.
