Twenty One
“No! With your health that could...”
I sighed. “I honestly have no idea why both of you care so much, but I’m not going to ask where this weird obsession over me stems from. Fine, one of you will take the couch then if you don’t want me to. It would be unfair if I slept with Jungkook.”
“Jimin can take the couch.”
“You really want the judge of the winner and loser to sleep on the couch?”
“Gah!” Both took a stare off. But Jin smiled, Ever the cheerful one.
“How about we share cub?”
“What?” Jungkook said flatly.
“Simple. Every other night, he’ll sleep with one of us. But in the time period of the wager.”
“I don’t care. Fight it out yourselves. But if you do anything to me in that time, just know that I’ll be receiving the same thing from the other. Any touching, kissing or otherwise...Anyway when can I leave?”
“As soon as you get your medication.”
“Here.” Jimin said, as he entered. He handed me a pack and I opened it. He held a full box full of them for me.
“Let me carry that for you, Jimin.” Jungkook said, charmingly. Jimin looked wary.
“I’m fine, Sir. Really.” Then he scooted out of the room. I injected myself and threw the needle away.
“I still haven’t been told why you need that.” Jin Said, addressing me in Japanese.
“Are you familiar with HD?”
“No.”
“Then you’re lucky, if you haven’t been affected by it yet. HD is a drug that was created a few years back. It’s highly addictive. Even just being around it can addict you. Actually using it will have your body dependent on it by the first night. It’s very toxic and kills your body in the span of a month. It’s basically a painful acid that eats its way through your body and damages everything.”
“And you tried it?”
“Actually, it was forcefully injected into my system when I was fifteen. Under those circumstances, I was given a double dose. When I was taken to the hospital, I’d already almost completely destroyed some of my blood vessels. They’d literally disintegrated. There was a lot of internal bleeding and five surgeries, I believe it was.
“At that time they’d been creating an experimental drug that was to help keep those addicted alive. So, instead of Humpty Dumpty, I have to take ‘King’s Men’ is the informal name for it. It is also a drug that your body depends on, but it is not lethal and is fairly harmless, except for if you stop taking it, you die from withdrawal.”
“What about the episode from earlier? Was it withdrawal?”
“No. Because of the damage already done, my system is super weak to any other drugs. Their doses that would mildly affect a person in small doses are equivalent to injecting me with fifty times that amount. Because of my tolerance, most of the time I won’t die, but also because of my dependence, it makes me weak.”
“I see.” Jin looked thoughtful. “So, is that what happened? Someone drugged you and you over dosed?”
“Yeah. They had to flush my system and probably inject a shitload of KM.”
“I see.”
“Well, If you’re done with the explanation that I can’t understand, we can go now.” Jungkook said. Sometime in my explanation, he’d left and talked to the doctor. Nurses entered and unhooked me from the systems. I was handed my clothes and I pulled them on.
When we arrived at Jungkooks apartment, Jimin was directed to his room. Jin was given the other one. “You’re staying with me tonight.” Jungkook said, pulling me towards his room.
“That’s unfair.” Jin countered.
“Here.” I put in, taking out a coin in my pocket. “I’ll toss this.” I threw it in the air. “Heads, it’s Jin, tails, it Jungkook." I announced, as it hit the floor. I stepped on it, stopping it from spinning.
I pulled it towards me and looked at it. “Heads.” I Said. Jin smiled and pulled me closer to him.
“Looks like you lose, Little fox."
