Maybe it's unfair of him, knowing how upset and worried she must be, but Yoongi can't help a pang of loathing toward Jungkook's mother. He needs his friends. He needs people other people who love him, who want to be there for him. He needs Yoongi. He doesn't know if he would have made as much progress healing as he has without the love and support of the others, but Jungkook especially; now Jungkook deserves the same. That she's shielding him from the very people who would help him is despicable in Yoongi's eyes.

But he can't say it. Not when Jungkook sounds like this. He remembers too well how desperately lonely he was after visiting hours, and his father hadn't tried to bar anyone from seeing him. The hospital is a bleak and solitary place, and the idea of Jungkook all alone makes his heart ache.

"That isn't right," is what he settles on. "She shouldn't keep you away from us. But I — I'll be there. As soon as I can get in, I'll be there. And I know the others will, too. She can't stop all of us if we show up." He won't let her. He'll do whatever he has to do, even if it means sneaking past the nurses and waiting for Jungkook's mother to leave.
