Jungkook smiles for the first time; he's struck by how stiff his cheeks feel when he tries to do so. He doesn't doubt that Yoongi would try everything in his power to make it from the front doors of the hospital over to his room, even if it means snapping at staff, even if it means using a plethora of white (and not-so-white) lies. All that Jungkook hopes is that the barriers to reaching him won't be as difficult to scale as the ones around Jimin.

Even if they are, Jungkook can't imagine his mother holing him up in the hospital for two years. Can't imagine her holing him up in the hospital beyond the time it takes for him to heal, to be able to get himself around. Maybe it's all on him to heal faster. To work hard to regain his strength.

If Yoongi doesn't find a way in, Jungkook will have to earn his way out.

"I'm not on the first floor, so unless you've suddenly been bitten by a special spider..." Jungkook jokes, licking his lips. "Maybe I'll try to charm some of the nurses over. Figure out who's on my side here."
