Now smiling hurts me more than crying.

Yoongi came rushing to the hospital, soaked in water. He sprinted there as soon as Jin called him, leaving whatever he was doing behind. 
"Hey, uhh, I'm here to see the patient that came here an hour ago." yoongi panted and he reached the receptionist. Tapping his fingers on her desk. 
"Alright, name please ?" She said typing something on her laptop.
"Jimin. Jimin park." He quickly answered.
The receptionist's face turned pale as she stared at yoongi. Was she surprised because they're bts? Or was Jimin's situation.. bad? Well, yoongi didn't know. But for the first time he hoped it's the first option, he hoped she recognized him. 
"P-park Jimin.. yeah.. uhmm. One second." She looked over again at he laptop and typed his name.
Yoongi found her reaction weird but tried to shake it of because he didn't want to worry even more.
"A-alright. Uhm. 3rd floor, turn right and he is in the third room at the emergencies." She pointed over to the elevator.
Yoongi gulped as he heard 'emergencies' and he gave her a quick thanks bow and he left.
He saw the others sitting outside the room as he finally reached where the girl explained. He became breathless as if he just ran a marathon. He would probably run a marathon just for Jimin anyway. 
"W-what happened ? Why is he in the emergency room ?" Yoongi said between paints. 
"J-jimin is in t-there." Jin cried into yoongi's shoulder.
"No shit, Really ? I'm aware! What the fuck happened!?" Yoongi shouted pushing Jin off his shoulder. 
"W-well h-he--" 
A doctor came out of jimin's room cutting Jin mid sentence.
"Doctor!!" Namjoon shouted.
The doctor turned around to face the worried group. He sighed and tried to keep a calm face to not worry them.
"Park jimin's family ?" He said giving them a forced smile. 
"Yes ! That's us. What's wrong with Jimin ?" Taehyung looked at his name tag. "Doctor....Kai." 
Kai sighed again. He couldn't tell them that he is okay, because that'd be a lie. The doctors always have to give the worst case scenarios, just in case, but he also didn't want to worry them with the worst. He decided he would tell them whats exactly wrong with him.
"Alright, so umm, Jimin is very dehydrated and.... " He started, clearing his throat. 
"And...?"
"And he hasn't been eating for a while now. Like, nothing is in his stomach." Kai inhaled sharply before continuing. "He has eating disorders. Okay so, although the term eating is in the name, eating disorders are about more than food. They’re complex mental health conditions that often require the intervention of medical and psychological experts to alter their course. All in all, jimin's health right now isn't just because he isn't eating, he is also suffering from other mental disorders. Which I recommend to see a therapist or a psychologist. All I can do for him, is take care of him until his body is normal again." The doctor finished off, sighing. 
Everyone looked at each other.
"He is... He has mental disorders?"
The doctor nodded. "His mental health isn't in the best state right now. He has been shivering ever since he got here. He probably went through a lot. He gets anxious easily, he also seemed like he had been depressed. He looks like he doesn't take care of himself. I don't know any further than that. As I said, going to a therapist will probably be the best choice."
"So, he could just eat something and we can get out of here, right?" Namjoon said with a hopeful expression.
"Yes! From what I understand, he needs to eat. Nothing serious right?" Hoseok agreed. 
Kai inhaled again. "I'm afraid not. Here is the thing, it's not 'nothing serious', eating disorders can be very dangerous, especially the kind Jimin has. He has anorexia Nervosa,— often simply called anorexia — it's an eating disorder characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight. People with anorexia place a high value on controlling their weight and shape, using extreme efforts that tend to significantly interfere with their lives. Others may undereat as a result of stress, particularly after experiencing a traumatic life event such as the death of a relative or close friend. People may also undereat as a result of depression or other mental health conditions. In other cases, a person might undereat due to an eating disorder or simply without realizing they are doing it. Sometimes people who have an abnormally high metabolism or high levels of physical activity do not eat enough to keep up with their body’s demands." He sighed. "However, weight loss is also associated with cancer-caused anorexia, because cancers can secrete substances that change the body's metabolism. Cancer cachexia, which usually happens to patients with advanced cancer, is sometimes referred to as a wasting syndrome." He exhaled.
The other's eyes widen. They haven't notice how careless they were with Jimin. They all felt guilty. Especially, Jin, because he believed Jimin everytime said he already ate.
"So, does Jimin have,..Cancer ?"
"That's something we can't tell right now. Right now, he is fine. Cancer symptoms aren't showing. But that's the thing, it takes time for them to show. If he eats, it could get better, but again, we don't know when will he wake up."
They all fell into their seats.
"I just need to ask one question for this report." He said flipping some paperwork in his hands.
"What is it?"
"I just need to know if Jimin has been under stress the last.. two months maybe?"
"Well..." Hoseok started and They all looked at him "..remember what you told us in the practice room when Jimin was late, tae?" Now they all looked at tae and nodded. "Y-yes..?" Tae asked. " Do you think it has anything to To do with this ?" 
Taehyung's eyes widen. "Oh. I think so... Yes doctor, Jimin has been under a lot of stress Lately. But that has just been for two weeks. We don't know anything about two months ago, or further than that."
"okay, well, you can get in in a bit, the nurse will tell you when, and see him. Ask him if he wakes up." And with that, the doctor left.
"Okay what the actual fuck is happening right now? And what did taehyung tell you in the practice room?" Yoongi shouted. "I'm pretty sure I am Missing something. All of you owe me an explanation. Right. Now. "
They sighed and sad down next to yoongi. "Alright yoongi, so basically.."
