Work Text:
Everything happened so fast. One minute I was walking from my register to scan a bag of rice when a loud ear splitting noise rung. I didn't register the pain as I felt myself falling forward.
I gasped as I looked up towards my brother Jin and coworker Hoseok.
I tried to look down but it hurt.
I felt my hand move on its own accord.
My hands came up sticky and red. I started gasping.
Jin ran towards me.
"Am I going to die? It's red. It's blood isn't it?" I said starting to freak out. "I don't want to die oppa. Oh god. Please. Wheres he at? The shooter? Oh god, we have to move."
"Shhhh... it came through the window. The alarms are going off so the doors are closing..." He tried to soothe me, putting his hand on my chest as he literally dragged me away from the open view of the windows. "It's okay. We just need to put pressure, right? I ca-can d-dd-do that..."
This is not how this was suppose to happen, but I guess it was now or never. I looked over as Yoongi came back from the fish department. The look on his face as he assessed the situation was scary. It seemed as if he was the one dying. If only he knew how I felt. I mean everyone and I mean everyone knew I liked him. It wasn't really a secret to be honest. I made it clear as day. I am terrible at hiding how I feel. When my brother found out he told me to stop whatever it was I was feeling. It was obvious he didn't feel the same way though. Yoongi I mean. He was my brothers best friend. To him I would always be a little girl or Jin's younger sister.
"I'm in love with you." I whispered looking directly at him then to Jin. "I'm sorry oppa....I-I a-am.."
Jin put my head into his lap. "No. No no no. No it's okay. I'm not mad love. Shhh... you're going to be okay." He put his hand harder against the wound trying to stop the bleeding. I cried out. "Keep talking to me. Don't stop talking." He looked up with so much fear in his eyes. "Someone call 119!"
"I don't feel good oppa.." I said slightly looking at Yoongi then away as I lay my head back against my brother. "I'm... so tired Jinnie."
"I know, I know but you got to keep talking. You have to keep your eyes open. Please." He said tilting my head back and yelling back behind him. "Did anyone call an ambulance? Please call an ambulance. You can't close your eyes okay? Just listen to oppa okay? Keep talking."
Some people were screaming and some trying to get out. Screaming about how the shooter was no where around.
My eyes slowly started drooping. "I can't....I don't know what to say....."
"She needs to stay awake." A young man said running over and taking out a laser pen flashing it into my eyes. I groaned. "She might not make it if she doesn't stay awake. We need to shock her system somehow. Enough to keep her conscious." He grabs his sweatshirt, pulling it up off his body and aching down to put it against my chest. I slightly cry out, gripping my brothers arm.
"Oppa it hurts." I whimper. "It hurts... it's so warm... and wet..."
"This won't last long." He replied. "Keep her talking somehow." He got up rushing towards the customer service picking up the phone.
"Like what? Keep your eyes open." Jin replied frantically tapping my cheeks. He looked towards Yoongi for a minute so helpless, then looked towards Hoseok. "I don'--"
"Yoongi what are you doi-" Hoseok started to say. Jin didn't even make a move to stop him.
I felt a hand grab the side of my face and the other link with my right hand as something soft landed on my lips. It took a moment for me to register what was happening besides the pain in my chest.
Is he? Oh my god. My eyes shot open as I slowly gasped into his mouth. He was kissing me. Me. ME. Min Yoongi. Yoongi. I gripped his hand. My nails digging in as Jin pushed the sweatshirt down again. It was as if it was just the two of us. All the noise in the background faded out. I could still feel the pain in my chest, but his lips still felt sweet on mine. If I was going to die, this is definitely how I want to go out.
He opened his eyes looking at me as he pulled back a short second before he leaned in once again and lingered for a moment before he pulled away completely.
Only moments later it felt like when voices started sounding again.
"Secure the area". Men in uniforms said going down the isles as medics came up to us slightly pushing Yoongi away as they assessed me. "One, two, three. Lift up."
I couldn't help but look at Yoongi as they hauled me on the stretcher as I reached my hand out. A tear sliding down my face as I felt Jin oppa grab my hand following me. I didn't let go even though I was craving someone else's hand.
............
Later that day in the waiting room one of the doctors from surgery came out and was talking to Jin. Jin was hugging the doctor and bowing over and over again. Moments later the doctor spoke more loudly.
"Whatever you did to keep her awake saved her life." He said. "If she fell asleep... I don't think she would have made it. Your quick thinking saved her life. She's alive because of whatever you did. A smart move to shock her system awake. She must have been shocked greatly."
"Yeah I think she was....." Was all he whispered as he stared at the emergency room door where you currently was residing in. A guilty look plastered on his face. He pulled out his phone typing the number he knew by heart. After pressing the call button he put it to his ear.
Yoongi's P.O.V
He felt a brief buzz in his pocket. He pulled out his phone looking at the contact. He answered it immediately.
His heart stopped as he waited for Jin to talk. "She will want to see you more than anyone." After a few more seconds he added. " I know you love her. I knew it from the begginging... I just didn't want to loose either of you. Your my bestfriend and shes my baby sister...I told her to stop whatever it was she was feeling for you. I knew it was wrong, but could you blame me?" Jin said as slightly cried over the phone to him. "I knew you wouldn't act on your feelings. I knew you wouldn't have accepted her feelings for the fact she is my sister. I respect you for that. I didn't think anyone deserved her. I was so mad when I found out she liked you. I thought she was to young. I felt betrayed even though nothing happened." He continued on not letting Yoongi have a chance to speak. "I was wrong when I said no one deserved her. There isn't anyone better for her than you. Thank you Yoongi. Min Yoongi. My bestfriend. You saved her life. I think the first person she should see when she wakes up is the person who saved her. You."
"Hyung--" Yoongi tried to speak.
"She will be waking soon so you better hurry up." Jin said slightly laughing. "I already know wht you are going to say so you're welcome. Now hurry up you slow ass."
Yoongi lightly chuckled as he turned the corner from hiding and walked up behind Jin hitting his shoulder.
Jin turned around shocked. He rubbed his arm. "I waisted minutes on the phone with you when you were right there the entire time?" He growled hitting Yoongi back. "Hurry up and get in the room."
Yoongi blushed. He pulled Jin in for a hug. "Thank you hyung."
Jin hugged him back hard as he shoved Yoongi in the room whispering quietly as he thought Yoongi couldn't hear, but he did. "No... thank you..."
Yoongi held his breath as he walked toward the bed. He slowly looked up from the floor. His heart stopped once again. She was already awake talking to one of the nurses slightly levitated into a really slight sitting position, not enough to put any strain on her. "Yoongi oppa?"
For once he smiled. His full blown gummy smile as he walked towards the bed leaning down so they were face to face. She looked so confused.
"Who else?" He replied arching an eyebrow.
"What are you doin--" he cut her off in the most clique ways. He kissed her. Again.
"I love you." He said against her lips. The heart monitor sky rocketed. His eyes widened.
The nurse coughed as she turned the monitor off for a few minutes while mumbling 'young love', not even bothering to check her.
"Don't freak out Yoongi oppa." She told him. "You just caught me off guard... again." She looked away turning beet red. "Will you say it again?"
He grabbed her chin gently tilting her head up. "I love you stupid and yes your brother knows." With that he went to lean forward again until someone cleared their throats in the doorway.
"Okay enough. I gave you my approval, but I don't want to see lip locki--" Jin started saying until Yoongi felt himself get pulled back. Soft lips meeting his.
He ignored the gagging noises his best friend was making and kissed her back. "I love you too." He smiled until he felt his head get bumped with hers quite hard.
"Seokjin oppa!" She yelled rubbing her forehead. "I am injured really bad. My complexion looks awful and my chest hurts and he is making me feel better. Quite being a party pooper."
"That is what you get for ignoring your oppa, for almost dying and for dating his best friend." He said, not sounding angry but slightly smiling. "Wait your chest hurts? Does it hurt a lot? I'll call the nurse and I will tell the people waiting to see you to go away."
"I am fine you jealous zit." she laughed, slightly coughing. "Wait... what people?"
Yoongi linked his fingers with hers. Looking up to his bestfriend smiling. "Its okay. I bet your oppa didn't tell you he kind of sorta likes your chubby cheek friend who you invited to dinner the other week."
There was a lot of smacking and laughing when the door opened and people started spilling in. Finding Jin holding Yoongi in a headlock.
