jimin should be prohibited from wearing tank tops

"Why isn't hyung waking up?" Jimin asked. Even though his voice was quiet, it was the only sound in the room, apart from 7 people's breathing and the heart monitor.

Namjoon just sighed. "Jimin, we've been through this. He hit his head and now he's in some sort of a coma. There's nothing we can do."

"But the doctor said that some people make it back, that they fight hard enough to wake up." Jimin bit his lip. "So why isn't hyung fighting harder?"

"Maybe he doesn't want to wake up," Taehyung muttered.

"Tae!" Namjoon snapped, shocked that of anyone to suggest it, it had been the little alien himself. "Don't say that!"

"Why not? It seems reasonable enough. If he wanted to be here, nothing in the world could havae stopped Jin from waking up. All you should have had to say is dinner is served and his eyes would have opened right away." Tae frowned. "Besides. Jin hasn't been himself lately. Or maybe everything before was all a show, and this Jin was the real Jin that had been hiding underneath. He wasn't happy, Namjoon. So maybe, wherever he is right now...maybe he is happy there. Maybe that's best for him."

Namjoon raised a hand as though to smack Tae, but Hobi quickly restrained his arm.

"Relax, Joon. That's not something you want to do. You're just not thinking straight," Hobi mumbled. "You need to calm down. He's our hyung too."

"Then tell Tae to shut his mouth! He doesn't know what makes Jin happy! Who is he to decide that?"

"Joon, calm down. Now."

"Did you ever wonder if Jin did this on purpose?" Tae asked quietly. "Because that's what I had to wonder."

"Shut up! Stop talking about Jin like that!"

None of them had ever seen Namjoon this angry before. He was usually so calm and collected that this was something entirely new.

Namjoon scowled at Tae. "It's like you don't want him to wake up."

"That's right. I want to become the visual," Tae said before rolling his eyes. "That's not what I meant, Namjoon. I'm not saying that Jin shouldn't wake up. I'm just saying that we have to make Jin want to wake up."

"That's stupid," Namjoon muttered. "Make him want to wake up? How are we even supposed to do that?" Shaking his head, he left the room, and Hobi followed him, shooting Tae an apologetic look on behalf of Namjoon's poor behavior.

"Our hyungs don't know how to handle this," Jungkook said quietly, his eyes glued to the heart monitor as though he were afraid that if he looked away, the line would go flat.

"None of us do," Jimin whispered.

Then Tae pulled a chair up to Jin's bed and sat down.

"What are you doing, Tae?"

"I'm going to make Jin want to come home."
