Jungkook sat down beside Tae, staring at Jin just like Tae was, neither of their eyes moving off the mark. "I can't believe you're...well, I mean, I was pretty sure you'd wake up eventually, but..." Jungkook sighed. "I guess I've just gotten used to you being comatose for the past few weeks. Which isn't to say that I didn't want you to wake up, just that-"

Tae clamped his hand over Jungkook's mouth to cut off his nervous rambling.

Jin just smiled tiredly. He wasn't sure how he could still be tired after having apparently slept for three weeks, but he was. "Well, it's wonderful to see both of you too, but can you please tell me what's really going on?"

Tae's smile tightened, his lips paling slightly with the force behind his expression. "You were in a coma is what happened."

"But why?"

"Because you hit your head."

"Why did I hit my head?"

Tae blew out a breath, frustrated. "That's what I wish you'd tell us."

Jin blinked.

"You were by yourself in a room and you managed to hit your head and land yourself in a coma, Jin," Tae said, cutting all the sugarcoating. "You put yourself in this coma. So you're asking us, but really...we want to ask you. Why did you do it, Jin?"

Jin pursed his lips. His head had been a bit fuzzy since waking up, but now that Tae mentioned it, he remember sitting by himself, going to sit up, and then suddenly being in a dream. "I don't really know..."

Jungkook stood up. "It's okay, don't put too much pressure on him, Tae. I'm going to go let everyone know," he said, excited as he ran out of the room.

Tae just looked at Jin. "Okay, enough with the BS. Tell me the truth. Why were you so unhappy? What made you want to do this?"

Jin hesitated. "It's because I..."

"what is it?" taehyung asked. "what's wrong, jin? you can tell us."

jin blinked. "it's because i didn't feel loved enough, i guess. i was starting to feel like it was all for the cameras, and when we were performing or recording, i was just the face they hired to get more fans, not my own person, not somebody that was actually useful or needed."

tae smiled sadly at jin. "you know that's not true, right? we love you lots. it's true that you have the best face out of all of us, but you're more than just your face. you're jin."

jungkook came in to sit next to jin and grinned, his bunny teeth showing. "yeah, hyung. we love you lots, so stay here with us, okay? we'll never make you feel unloved or underappreciated."

jin laughed softly, but it turned to crying a few seconds later. "i don't know, maybe i'm just being selfish. obviously the world doesn't revolve around me but sometimes i feel like it doesn't even acknowledge my existence."

"we know you're here," tae said, smiling and wiping away jin's tears. "isn't that enough, jin? we'll never forget you. we'll never ignore you. we'll never let you go."

jin hesitated before nodding, his tears still flowing even as he felt taehyung pull jin's head into his chest, running his hands through jin's hair.

"we'll never let you go, hyung. i promise," taehyung said, hugging jin to himself.

"-awake, he really is, I just saw him and-" Jungkook cut off as he entered through the door with the rest of the members behind him to see Taehyung frowning at an unconscious Jin.

Namjoon just sighed, disappointed.

"I swear he was, really!" Jungkook said, his eyes tearing up as he turned to see all of his hyungs avoiding eye contact with him out of their distrust.

"He was," Taehyung said, sighing and standing up. "A nurse just came in to explain that the medicine in the IV must have kicked in and made him drowsy. She said he should be awake in six to eight hours." Tae frowned, though, worried but scared to show it. "She said it wasn't that strong of a dosage, though. It shouldn't have affected him that much."

Nobody knew what to say, so they all stared at Jin.

"Was he happy?" Namjoon asked, his voice soft.

Tae didn't answer him. Both because he wasn't sure.

And because he didn't want to lie.
