081. Not Helping?
Life As It Is"KIM TAE HYUNGGGG!!!!" Jimin shouted as he barged in to the hospital room.
Taehyung jolted from his seat as he pealed his eyes open. There was shock and confusion all over his face. The back of Jimin's head got hit by a rolled up stack of notes and he stumbled further in.
"Shut it, will you? We're in a hospital!!" Namjoon chided in a low voice.
Jimin ignored the older boy and took the seat next to the bed.
"Tsk. Why do I have to come here again??" Yujin complained as she entered.
"Because you do care about him." Jin laughed as he followed in after her.
All of them shuffled in and eventually closed the door. They barely settled down before Taehyung tugged on Namjoon's sleeve.
"What is going on?"
"What'd you mean what's going on?" he asked back. "-we're here to visit you?"
Taehyung nodded and he looked around the room. It was an odd number if he counted himself in. His shoulders slumped a little. Yujin noticed it and slouched next to the bed and lightly hit the top of his head with her phone.
He turned to her questioningly.
"What?" she asked as though she didn't hit him with her phone.
Taehyung turned back to the front with his cheeks slightly puffed. Yujin smirked and left the room.
No one noticed her leaving as Hoseok sprung into action to fulfil his daily noise quota. That meant tripping over the chair and falling over, knocking into the small table.
Everyone groaned and helped him up.
Ignoring the ruckus with a roll of his eyes, Suga turned to Taehyung, who had been laughing at the commotion.
“How are you feeling?”
Taehyung peeled his attention from the others and looked at Suga. He moved his head from side to side. “I can’t say I feel any better,” he said as he pointed at all the parts of his body in bandages. “-but I know I don’t feel any worse.” he laughed.
Suga chuckled. “That’s good.”
Jimin bounded over. “TAE! GUESS WHAT??”
“Wahtt!!” Taehyung mimicked Jimin’s slightly high pitched voice.
“EXAMS ARE COMING SOON!”
The smile on Taehyung’s face dropped drastically into a weird distorted frown.
“WWAAAHHHHTTTT……” he whined.
“Don’t worry!” Hoseok shouted from the other end of the room (the room wasn’t big but remember, he had his quota to fill). “-we’ll help you like the previous time!!”
Taehyung brightened. “Does that mean we get notes again from-”
He paused when he remember who wrote the notes from the test before that.
He looked around the room.
“-where’s Kang Yujin?”
As soon as she closed the door, she heard a loud crash followed by Hoseok’s hysterical laughter. Ignoring all of that, she looked over.
"And how long are you gonna stand out here for?" she asked the boy who had been pacing but had pretended to be leaning on the wall when she came out.
"As long as I want." Jungkook stated.
He was about to sit down on the benches along the walls but Yujin grabbed him by his collar. She pulled him up before he got to sit. His feet fumbled and stomped a few times to keep himself up.
"You're going in there. Your one week deal has 5 and a half more days to go." she said nonchalantly, holding half of the boy's weight quite easily.
“Let me go. I have my own two feet to walk.”
Yujin scoffed lightly with a smirk. “Really? I don’t see you using them to go in.”
“Who said I was going in?” Jungkook asked.
She rolled her eyes. “You either walk in there on your own or I’m dragging you in.”
“Are you threatening me?”
“Yeah, might as well.” Yujin said and grabbed his collar again.
Jungkook attempted to swat her arm away but she let go and once his arm was out of the way she grabbed his tie. A nerve snapped and he tightened his hand around her small wrist, easily stopping her. A little more strength applied and he successfully cut off her circulation.
He didn’t realise what he did because Yujin didn’t flinch one bit. “What?” he asked. “-can’t move any more?”
“You sound like a complete brat.” she pointed out. “-you’re doing the same you did back when you tried to isolate yourself from us. What are you up to this time?”
Something shifted at the corner of her vision and she snapped her eyes to the side, just in time to catch the back of a man in a suit turning the corner away from the corridor they were at. Realisation hit her and she almost went after the man but was held back by Jungkook’s iron grip that had long caused her to not feel her right hand any more.
“Don’t.”
The waver in his voice caused her to look at him properly in the eye. She stared blankly at him. The rare moment of vulnerability on his face didn’t go unnoticed by her.
“Was that your father’s men?” she asked in a low voice.
Before she got an answer from him, the door opened and out popped Jin’s head. “There you are.” he said, not seeing how fast Jungkook released Yujin’s arm. “-why are you both out here?”
“Talking. We’re going in now.” Yujin said and shot Jungkook a look. He unwillingly followed her in.
“There he is!” Hoseok hollered and pulled Jungkook all the way into the room.
Jungkook wriggled out of Hoseok’s grip and sat down on the couch. “What.” he asked Taehyung when he caught the latter staring at him. Taehyung tried to hide his smile but failed and shook his head.
“As I was saying,” Jimin cleared his throat. “-exams are coming soon. Again.”
Yujin rolled her eyes and leaned on the wall. “Seriously? That’s the first thing you say when you come in?” she looked at him. “-why hasn’t anyone thrown him out of the room yet??”
Jimin started blinking furiously. “I-I- I me-mean.. Th-that’s..”
“Just shut up already.” Jungkook grumbled.
"Don't worry, I'll help you guys." Yujin said.
"Eh, no, no, you shouldn't spoon feed them!" Jin exclaimed. "-you've done it once, they should figure out how to do it themselves this time."
"Besides, there isn't a deal we need to win anyway." Suga said.
"'They', not 'we'." Hoseok corrected. Suga made a face at him.
Yujin was conflicted even though she didn’t show it. "You guys have these people, the rest of them-"
"-will do just fine without your spoon feeding." Namjoon cut her off. "-I think every one thinks so."
Yujin glanced blankly in curiosity as Namjoon took out his phone. He tapped the screen a few times before pushing it in front of her face. She backed up a little with a frown as her eyes moved to the middle to focus on the device.
Jungkook had been staring and an unexpected noise came out from him. No one noticed it and he quickly covered it with a cough.
"What is this?" Yujin asked and grabbed the phone to move it f
