It had been about an hour since the two had gotten back, and it was about time for them to go back and get a probably very high kookie.
"Any of you wanna come with us to get kookie?" Namjoon says, shouting through the dorm.
"No I've got stuff to do, but make sure if he says anything funny you film it!!!" Jimin shouted back.
"Will do!" Namjoon says with a laugh.
"See ya later!!" He shouted before closing the door behind him.

They sat in the car, and Namjoon noticed something off about Jin. He was oddly quiet.
"You ok?" Namjoon asked.
"Yeah, why do you ask?" Jin said, acting defensive clearly trying to hide something.
"...no reason, you just seem a bit quiet. Feels like you have something on your mind..."'he replies, taken aback by Jin's defensiveness. Jin just huffs and doesn't respond.
"...you can talk to me, yknow?" Namjoon says, trying to get it out of him. He didn't like seeing Jin being so moody.
"Namjoon I just said I'm fine. Ok?" Jin replied firmly. Namjoons eyes widened. He wasn't sure whether to just ignore it or try and get it out of him.
"Yeah, I just wanted you to know... you can tell me anything..." after a few more minutes of silence, Jin was struggling to hold it in any longer.

The truth is... he was scared. He was scared for Jungkook. This kid he loved so much was so full of fear when they were at the dentist this morning, and he felt scared for him. Now the anxiety had passed on to Jin, who was now just generally worried for his kookies safety. All he could think about was what if something went wrong? What if my kookie is hurt?
He sniffs, catching Namjoons attention, and he looks over to see tears lining Jin's eyes.
"I knew something was up. Do you wanna tell me now?" He says softly.
"I'm just... I'm scared. What if something happened to kookie?" Namjoon put his arm around Jin's shoulder and hummed in sympathy.
"Don't worry, I'm sure he's absolutely fine. Your mind is just playing tricks on you." He said as he rubbed his hyungs back gently. Jin nodded and sniffed.

When they arrived they were excited to see their kookie, and know that he was safe. They sat in the waiting room, until they saw the same nurse from earlier call Jungkooks name. Namjoon and Jin quickly stood up, and walked over to the nurse.
"He's just waking up now. All went well." She said with a warm smile. Jin let out a big sigh and said "thank you" before the nurse led them through the corridor to the recovery room Jungkook was in.

What a comically sad sight it was. There was Jungkook, drowsy and hooked up to various machines, his left cheek swollen up.

They say there's three types of people who come out of anaesthesia:
• the sleepy ones who just sleep through it
• the talkative ones who don't shut up
• and..... the criers. The ones who won't stop crying over nothing. This seemed to be the perfect match for kookie. The moment the two walked in he had tear tracks on his face and was sniffing a lot. This struck worry in them, especially Jin, until they were reassured that he's just loopy.

He looked up at the two with glassy eyes and cried out "who are yooouuuuu~" why he was crying, he doesn't even know.
"It's me, Namjoon, and Jin hyung. We're gonna take you home." Namjoon says softly, as if he was talking to a child, even bending over slightly to be more in his eyeline.
"Kookie go home?" He asked with a sniff.
"Yeah, you can go home and see Jiminie, and taetae, and hobi, and yoongi. They're all waiting just for you!" Namjoon says, still babying him. Jungkook just burst into tears of happiness at all the love of his hyungs for waiting for him. In reality they were just chilling at the dorm. Somewhere along the line Jungkook became aware of how numb his mouth was, and lifted a hand up to check that his lips were still there. In the process he felt his swollen cheek and his eyes widened with confusion, just before Namjoon stopped him.
"Woahwoah don't touch it kookie." He said, bringing his hand back down. Jungkook just looked even more confused.
"Whycan'tItouchit?" He slurred, looking at joon almost angrily.
"Cause you just had a surgery there and you might hurt it ok?" Jungkook pouted and burst into tears again, so namjoon carefully brushed the tears away.

The nurse came back into the room, explaining she needs to change the gauze and asks jungkook to open his mouth, but his mouth stays firmly shut and he looks at her angrily.
"Cmon kookie it's important. Open up." Jin says, gently stroking his thigh. Kookie couldn't help but comply and his mouth opened without him really being able to control it, so the nurse took that opportunity to quickly reach in and take the gauze out. Jungkook glanced at it only to see it stained bright red from his blood.
"BLOOD!" He gasped, very loudly, before breaking into tears once again. Namjoon quickly sprung into action trying to comfort the wailing kookie.
"Ssshhhh it's ok, your ok..." namjoon said, placing a gentle hand on his thighs.
"Open. I've got to put another gauze in." The nurse said, holding a fresh gauze. Again, jungkook subconsciously complied and opened his mouth and the gauze was shoved in his mouth. He cringed at the feeling, and went to take it out, until his hand was pushed down. He whined and tried to poke it out with his tongue until he realised his tongue was completely numb too.
"Bite down. It's ok, it's there to help you." Namjoon said.

God was it exhausting looking after a clingy, always crying kookie. They eventually gave up trying to get him to stop crying, they just did their best to comfort him. They couldn't stop his whining all the way home. Their poor driver had to put up with that...

When they finally got jungkook home, he was immediately showered with hugs from the other members. The sight of him crying so much was so foreign to them.

As of writing these words, I just went to the dentist today (Thursday 13th) and I was suuuuuuuuper nervous but all went well. I had sealant put on one of my back teeth which wasn't fun, and he put flouride on my teeth which tastes disgusting 🤮 but afterwards we were waiting to pay, and there were these adorable kids and it made my day. Yeah I just needed to say that 😂 back to the story now. Sorry for interrupting.

Even after hours since they got home, kookie was still a wailing, crying mess, just slightly less so. Jimin was sat with him on the couch, cuddling him tightly. They had put on a movie, to try and distract kookie but he wasn't interested and just carried on crying about literally nothing. Jin came over with a fresh gauze to replace the ones still in kookies mouth. He crouched down in front of kookie, saying "open up kookie-a~ let me take out your gauze." in a sing-song voice. Kookie just whined and let more tears slip out.
"Cmon kook, Open up!" Jimin said, carefully stroking his hair.
"Nooooooo" He said, burying himself further under the blanket he was wrapped in. Jin pulls back the blanket, trying his best to get Jungkook to comply. But alas, he was too stubborn.
"Cmon kookie you need to let us change the gauze or it could get infected." Jimin tried one last time, but to no avail. Eventually they got too desperate, and it was clear Jungkook wasn't going to obey anytime soon, so they had to. Jimin pried his mouth open, while Jin quickly snatched out the gauze and slipped the fresh one in. Jungkook whined, threatening to sob, but Jimin worked his wonders and cuddled him tight, calming the younger back down.

That day was long. By late afternoon, the anaesthesia had finally worn off, and Jungkook was left miserable and swollen. The incision had stopped bleeding, but it still hurt a lot, and this caused Jungkook to refuse any food given to him. This wasn't a good sign, as he hadn't eaten anything in ages, cause he wasn't allowed. How he was lasting on such little food, was a miracle.
"Cmon Jungkook please eat something. It's ok, it won't hurt or anything." Jin said, holding a bowl of ice cream, that was already starting to melt.
"Jungkook, you need to eat something so you can take your painkillers. I know it hurts, but if you just eat a little bit, then you can take the painkillers. Yeah?" Jungkook stayed put with a firm pout on his face. Jin huffed, placing the bowl down on the coffee table. Why does he have to be so stubborn sometimes?
"Jungkook-a, I'm sorry but you have to eat. It's not a choice. I can't have you getting even more ill from not eating." Jin scooped some ice cream onto the spoon and held it up to Jungkooks mouth, holding a hand underneath to make sure nothing falls off. Jungkooks eyes cross slightly as he stares at the spoon. He lets out a long huff before hesitantly opening his mouth.
"That's it kook, just a little wider..." Jungkook eases his mouth open just a little more and Jin slips the spoon in.
"That's better, well done kookie." Jin gently pats his shoulder, happy that he was finally eating. That one spoonful of ice cream made Jungkooks hunger make an appearance, and he suddenly realised just how hungry he was. He was starving. He grabbed the spoon off of Jin and wolfed down the rest of the ice cream, finishing it in less than a minute.
"You must have been hungry, huh kook?" Jungkook nodded enthusiastically, hoping to get more food. Jin chuckled slightly. "Hold on, I'll go get your painkillers, then you can have some more." Jin said with a smile.

He swiftly got back with a glass of water, some pills and another bowl full of ice cream, since it's one of the only things he can eat right now. After taking the pills he tucks right into the ice cream with a gentle smile, and Jin smiles back. That's the first time Jungkook had actually smiled that day. He was glad that his kookie has regained his happiness after the living hell that the last few days had been for him.

"I'm glad to see you're happy now, kookie."
"Of course I'm happy I have ice cream."
