It's all Yoongi can do to hide his own tears, eyes closing at the sound of Jungkook's voice again. It's not hard to tell that Jungkook doesn't entirely believe things will be okay, and it leaves Yoongi wavering, torn between his own natural pessimism and the need to keep hope alive. One of them has to believe. If Jungkook can't, it'll have to be him.

"I know," he whispers. "I know you do. Get some sleep, okay?" He draws in a slow, deep breath, wiping his eyes. "Take care of yourself until I can come do it for you." Soon, he tells himself. He'll figure it out quickly and go as soon as he can and dry those tears himself. In the meanwhile, the idea of hanging up terrifies him; it isn't Jungkook's phone, he can't call him on it, and not knowing if he'll get to speak to him again before he gets to the hospital hurts. Not having a way to contact him feels like going back into the dark again, lost and scared and so alone.

He should be stronger. He should be the one to hang up, so Jungkook doesn't have to, but he can't bring himself to do it.
