“Give me your hand
Save me save me
I need your love before I fall
Fall”
It was Friday, and Jungkook was looking up at the ceiling while lying on his bed, just relaxing. He had work in a few hours and woke up feeling better than usual. Taehyung didn’t lash out as much, and Jungkook was happy to have made a good friend during the time they hung out together while he worked.
Jungkook smiled and was going to ask Taehyung if he wanted to go outside while he was on break. He knew a nurse had to be there to monitor him, but he didn’t care, just knowing Taehyung would see the stars above made him happy. Jungkook closed his eyes and tried sleeping more to pass by time, so that work would approach faster.
Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, he opened his eyes and sat up on the bed. What if he bought bubbles, or something they could do together outside? Jungkook grinned and decided, sleep wasn’t important anymore, now that he had plans to take care of.
Jungkook went to the nearby store and shopped for anything fun that Taehyung would like, or enjoy. He walked down the toy aisle and felt like a kid himself just browsing through a variety of all kinds of toys. Jungkook didn’t remember the last time he enjoyed seeing so many toys before. He remembered doing this as kid, not grown as an adult. He grabbed a big bottle of bubbles, some cards, a soccer ball and a set of Jenga. He wanted to get more stuff, but he wasn’t sure if Taehyung would like most, since of course he was also eighteen years old.
He went to the checkout lane and looked to his side, where he saw a rack of candy. He thought maybe he’d sneak Taehyung a candy bar, but wasn’t sure if he was allergic to anything. He grabbed different varieties of them and tossed in a bag of Cheetos, just in case he didn’t like candy. He paid out his order and went walking happily to his car with his new items in hand.
Later that night, he left all the items in the trunk of his car and was back to working the crowded halls. Jungkook was taking out all the trash, trying to rush quickly to the third hall where Taehyung would be locked up still. Jungkook approached Taehyung’s door and saw the boy smiling at him when he showed up looking in the window. Jungkook waved at him and smiled brightly as the other boy waved back just as eagerly as him. Jungkook slowed down taking out the trash after passing his room and made his usual rounds at his normal pace, finishing up the rest of rooms.
After some time, all the patients went back into their rooms and Taehyung was being released from his room. Taehyung quickly rushed out of his room on his way to find Jungkook when all of a sudden a patient ran out of their room, running down the hall towards him. Taehyung saw Jimin running after the guy from the bedroom, but it was too late. The patient eyed up Taehyung as he got closer and pushed him repeatedly trying to start a fight.
Taehyung was screaming at the top of lungs with every blow he was receiving. Jimin tried to hold the patient back, but he was strong. Jimin was calling out for backup. Jungkook rounded the corner and saw Taehyung getting punched as he shrieked like if he was getting stabbed over and over.
When the patient grabbed the doll, Taehyung froze. The patient threw the doll against the wall and began laughing out loud. Taehyung’s face turned dark, scaring the male patient, as well as Jimin and Jungkook, who was slowing down as he got to the scene.
Taehyung began yelling and striking the older man in hard blows that sent the patient to the floor. Jimin tried to stop Taehyung, but Taehyung turned around, and punched him hard, knocking him to the ground with a busted lip. Taehyung began strangling the patient and laughing as he did.
Jungkook was scared. He’s never seen Taehyung in state before, and it was beyond scary. Taehyung watched as the patient began to turn blue and trying to breathe. “You will die…just like the rest of them,” Taehyung said to the man as he grinned wickedly.
Jungkook quickly grabbed Taehyung by his shoulders and told him to stop, but Taehyung gave him a look that Jungkook didn’t want to **** with. “Please, let go of him…he didn’t mean to throw your baby! He has an illness! Please!” Jungkook pleaded.
Jimin got up and grabbed Taehyung again, but Taehyung’s hands didn’t budge from the patient’s neck. “He will die! Just like all of them! Once you touch me….you end up dead…” Taehyung’s voice began to break and his grip became weak.
Jimin saw Yoongi running down the hall and motioned him to help. Jimin and Yoongi got Taehyung off the patient and put him to the side of the hall where Jungkook was at. Jungkook would take a punch for all he cared, he just had to embrace Taehyung who started to cry.
Jimin took the male patient to his room and did a full check up on him to see if he was okay. He accidentally left the door unlock as he was giving the patient his pills for the night, but the man pulled a fast one on him and made a beeline to the door.
Yoongi picked up Taehyung’s doll and handed it to him. Taehyung grabbed his baby and begin rocking her back and forth. “Shhh, you’re alright Abby…I’m here…I’m here now.” Taehyung was crying as he held his doll and was shaking all over as he did so. “Kookie…please don’t die…please?”
Jungkook looked at Taehyung puzzled. “Why would I die?”
“E-everyone died…they all l-left me…p-please…” Taehyung cried harder and started blubbering as he tried talking again. “I-I-I k-killed…t-hem all.” Jungkook squeezed Taehyung harder not really sure what to make of it, he just wanted to calm Taehyung, but seemed like he just made him worse, by that action. “IT BURNS! STOP! DON’T TOUCH ME!” Taehyung began screaming in pain and laid his body to the just thrashing as Jungkook stepped away not knowing what to do.
Yoongi ran down the hall and disappeared leaving Jungkook alone with Taehyung who was in pain, but didn’t know from where. He wanted to cry with the boy as he was hurting from somewhere. He saw Yoongi quickly approached Taehyung with Namjoon by his side and sedated the boy to calm him down.
“What happened?” Namjoon said looking to Yoongi and Jungkook.
“It was my fault,” Jimin said from behind them. “I left the patient’s door unlock as I was giving him his meds for the night, since I had forgot to give them to him earlier. He got smart and darted out the door, but wasn’t so smart to encounter him,” he nodded his head to Taehyung.
Namjoon sighed and blew a long breath out, “Be careful next time Jimin…we can’t have this again. We’re lucky the patient is alive, and well.”
Jungkook watched a sleeping Taehyung on the floor and went back to looking like the sweet innocent boy that he had come to know. Watching him a few moments ago, was a scary sight. Jungkook knew there had to be a dark past for him to have black aura around him, when he was in his mode.
Jungkook swallowed hard and watched the boy be taken to his room by Namjoon as Yoongi grabbed the boy’s doll and followed the doctor to his room. He guessed outside was out of the question today since the boy was sedated and probably not in a good mood to even be bothered with.
As the hours went by, Jungkook had two hours left before his shift ended. He quietly did what he needed to do and took a break, even though his time was almost up. He walked out to the bench and the felt the nice cool breeze blow across his skin in calming way that made him slightly shiver. He looked up at the stars and frowned since he wanted to watch them with Taehyung, why did things go downhill tonight? Jungkook rubbed his eyes and rested his head on the table just resting his eyes for a bit, before he had to go back in.
“Kookie?” whispered Taehyung.
Jungkook grunted, he swore he heard Taehyung saying his name. He tried shaking his voice out of head and went back to dozing off again.
“Kookie? I’m sorry,” Taehyung said softly. He watched Jungkook sleep and looked back at Namjoon who just watched and waited by the doors. Taehyung was glad they didn’t give him a higher dosage of whatever it was they injected him with. When he woke up he quickly scanned the room for Jungkook, but he wasn’t around. It was when he began searching the halls to find him, he saw Namjoon and asked where he was at. As much as he hated going outside, he wanted to be with Jungkook.
Jungkook slowly woke up and saw Taehyung right next to him. He looked behind him and saw Namjoon with a smile just looking at Jungkook. He turned back to Taehyung and smiled. “Are you okay?”
Taehyung smiled and nodded his head. “Better.”
“I’m glad you’re outside…I actually wanted to bring you out here with me tonight. I have some stuff to do with you, I-“ Jungkook looked at his watch and it was almost time to go back in.
“Just take your time Jungkook…I’ll cover for you,” Namjoon said from behind.
Jungkook smiled and thanked him. “Wait here, I’ll go bring the stuff!” Jungkook ran off the property and went excitedly to the trunk of his car to get the bags. When he went back to the table, he placed the bags on the table and showed Taehyung the stuff he bought. “I also bought candy…don’t know what you like, or if you can or can’t eat it. If you don’t like candy, it’s okay! I got you chips!” Jungkook proudly showed Taehyung the bag of Cheetos and saw Taehyung’s smile light up.
“I love all these candies and the chips…it’s been so long since I had this kind of stuff.” Taehyung eyed up all the goodies and settled with a snickers bar first. “Wow…tastes even better than I remember!”
Jungkook sat next to him and smiled, resting his chin on his hand. He was enjoying seeing Taehyung eating just a simple candy bar, something that he could eat any time or day, yet he was engrossed with the boy’s cute expressions as he ate it. He snapped out of his daze and showed him the bubbles he bought. Taehyung squealed with his mouth full and clapped his hands. Then Jungkook showed him the ball as well as the set of cards and Jenga game.
“What do you want to do first?” Jungkook asked the boy.
Taehyung was trying to chew fast so that he could talk. “Bubbles! I love those the most!”
Jungkook grinned widely and felt good for getting something that Taehyung actually loved. He opened the bottle then stood up and started spinning around as the bubbles started coming out and spreading all in one direction. Taehyung got up, grabbed his doll and began to chase and pop all of the bubbles that were now spreading all around him.
Jungkook was laughing as he saw Taehyung literally being like a small child whenever he chased down and popped the bubbles. Jungkook wish he had a camera so he could film him having fun.
“It’s my turn!” Taehyung said, taking the wand away from Jungkook’s hand. He sat his baby down on the table, and started spinning around as well while laughing and watching Jungkook pop the bubbles now. “I used to do this all the time,” Taehyung said as he stopped spinning.
“Oh?” Jungkook said.
Taehyung didn’t say anything, he just looked at his doll and went over to hug her. Jungkook knew he wasn’t the same smiling Taehyung that he was just a few seconds ago. Taehyung sat back down and kissed his dolls cheek. “Abby…”
Jungkook just looked at Taehyung. He was still trying to figure out who she was…it had to be a comfort thing since Taehyung named the doll after her.
“Abby is a pretty name,” Jungkook said looking at Taehyung’s doll.
“She’s also very beautiful…the most beautiful girl in the world.” Taehyung let his tears fall as he held her close to him.
“Your doll is very beautiful also…” Jungkoook said carefully, trying not to push his luck
Taehyung whimpered as he held her. Jungkook wrapped his arms around Taehyung and slowly brought him in for a hug. “It’s okay…don’t cry.”
“You don’t understand…I killed her also…” Taehyung picked up the doll and looked at her face sadly while tears came out.
“Your doll is not dead…Look, she’s okay! She’s looking right you!” Jungkook kept Taehyung close trying his best to keep the boy from slowly slipping away from him mentally. Jungkook tried to rile his head around the fact that this had to be the second person he killed…just who? And how many more? Most importantly…why?
“She’s not okay…what don’t you UNDERSTAND? SHE’S DEAD!” Taehyung began to yell and tried to swing at Jungkook, but Jungkook held him down close against him. “ABBY! ABBY! I’M SORRY!” Taehyung cried as he looked at his doll just looking back at him.
“Calm down! Please!” Jungkook said as he looked back and didn’t see Namjoon by the door anymore.
Within a few more seconds Namjoon came out with back-up and picked up Taehyung.
Taehyung wasn’t having it though. “ABBY! GIVE ME ABBY!!” he said seeing his doll sitting on the table. “GIVE ME MY BABY SISTER!” Taehyung thrashed around crying and yelling trying to get his baby back, but no one was listening.
Jungkook let his own tears fall as he quickly grabbed his doll and placed it in his hands. Taehyung calmed down and slumped to the ground. “Shhh, I won’t leave you again…I won’t leave you again..” Taehyung said as he rocked his doll back and forth.
Namjoon, Yoongi and Jimin let the boy collect himself since he calmed down and looked sadly at Taehyung. They knew the back story to it all, but no one knew the real one. Namjoon looked at Taehyung and gave him a small sad smile. Namjoon was glad that Taehyung was saying things out loud that he never had before. Namjoon knew it was only a matter of time before Taehyung let’s all the pain he was feeling out, just like tonight.
Jungkook knelt down in front of Taehyung and looked from the boy, down to his doll. So, it wasn’t just a doll to keep around like a crazy person…it symbolized his baby sister he lost…his sister…he killed.
