*************
Hoseok joins Jimin when he hears him yelling at one of the staff.
Staff: I'm really sorry, but I've been looking for hours and haven't found it, but this one looks great and works just like yours.
Jm: But it's not mine, you know how it is to change even the smallest thing....
Jimin is cut by Hoseok's hand resting on his shoulder.
H: Jimin stop screaming, what's happened?
Jm: I'm tired of working with incompetent people.
The staff member looks down. Jimin hates making people sad, but for him work should be done seriously and with thoroughness or it is better to leave his place.
H: Jimin....
Jm: No Hobi, they lost my in ear again.
H: Jimin....
Jm: No Jimin holding on, the last time I just fell down because it destabilized my inner ear, so it's out of the question.
Namjoon approaches, seeing that hobi can't fix the problem, not even being able to say a sentence.
Namjoon had watched the scene from the start.
N: Jimin, you want to trade them with mine.
Jm: Namjoon no, it's dangerous.
N: Jimin he told you that this time it had been checked by the technician and that what happened in the pastime will not be repeated this time though.
Jm: but if....
Namjoon stares at him, shaking his head.
Jm: Okay, but if there is a problem, I will have told you.
Jimin ends up letting the staff set up the in-ear.
Jimin doesn't like their feeling, but let's go.
He just needs it for the three songs they're going to shoot for an American TV show.
The boys decided to pick up two of their old songs. It is now in the middle of the suga verse in Young Forever.
Jimin makes a discreet sign to the staff to increase the volume. But the more he asked them, the less it worked.
Then Jimin starts to hear a thud. Fortunately for him, the recording is not live. So he gets up and removes the in ear.
Jm: I'm sorry, but I can't hear anything.
Namjoon gets up and joins him, hoping that he really doesn't hear anything in it and it's not a caprice. Even if that would surprise Namjoon a lot.
Namjoon then puts them on and tests Jimin's microphone and then his.
He looked up at the staff.
N: You have others ?!
The same member of staff as earlier is going to get the suitcase, or there are others.
Staff: the technician said that also goes.
He hands them to Jimin.
Jm: Not like the previous ones, I hope.
J: Jimin, please don't be condescending
Jimin looks at the staff member.
Jm: Sorry, I don't like people changing my habit, and with experience I know that's not a good thing. I have nothing against you. It's just that it stresses me out.
The staff stand up with a friendly smile on his faces
Staff: I can understand, I also apologize for not having found yours.
Jm: for lack of anything better, I'm going to settle with that one, plus to the color green is the color of hope, isn't it.
Everyone takes their place and the first song ends without addiction to the delight of Jimin who loves this song.
Then comes Love maze.
The first part goes well, although he has a little trouble hearing when namjoon raps. Jimin continues to sing even though he's out of time, but he manages to make up for it. When J-hope begins his part, Jimin takes off his left in ear to hear him better. He doesn't want to interrupt again.
But at the time of the last chorus who he must harmonize with the other vocalists of the group. His right ear begins to ring. It continues for some second until that buzz becomes a very high-pitched sound, causing him to blench and fall on the ground.
Jungkook who was next to him reacts quickly and leans towards him.
Jk: Jimin ?!
Jimin, too overwhelmed by the noise, does not hear the concerns of the youngest.
He reaches out for the remaining in ear.
But when his hand lands on the object, it then begins to heat up. Do to a short-circuited and then become a ball of flame.
Jimin began to scream in pain, a cry that echoed throughout the studio and sent chills of horror to everyone present. Except maybe the technician who came out discreetly through the back door
Very quickly the young member of the staff who was even consumed with remorse acts very quickly to stop the flames.
Jimin was still lying on the floor watching the world panic around him. He sees the members talking to him without hearing them. Even if very quickly, his eyes close so that his mind can be absent in a world without pain.
*************
After days under heavy sedation and after long hours spent under anesthesia due to multiple operations, Jimin finally begins to come to his senses in the small room, in which Yoongi and Hoseok are anxiously waiting to see his eyes again.
Yoongi, who was to his right and therefore on the injured side, gently strokes his forearm. But feeling a contraction in Jimin's arm, he looks up and says to hoseok.
Y: there it is.
All attention is on Jimin.
Jimin blinks several times before opening his eyes to see the worried gaze of his two friends.
Jimin moistened his lips, feeling that his dry mouth wouldn't allow him to speak. So he confusedly asks.
Jm: what happened?
Yoongi starts off so as not to rush him.
Y: What's the last thing you remember?
He wants to let Jimin answer himself.
Jm: we were filming the songs and ...
Jimin frowns trying to remember.
But suddenly everything comes back, the heat, the pain. He raises his right hand, which is bandaged, he stares at it for a moment before bringing it to his face.
Y: Jimin, no, you must not touch.
Yoongi had intercepted his hand and placed it gently on the bed.
Jimin does not control his tears which fall.
Jm: I want to see!
H: I'm not sure, that's a good idea, jimin.
Jimin gets angry, not knowing the extent of the damage.
Jm: it's my body !!
Y: Jimin, the doctor told us it's better to wait.
Jimin feels his despair rising. He then speaks with a breaking in his voice that hurts everyone.
Jm: is it that bad?
Hoseok delicately massages Jimin's left leg to get his attention.
H: It's just the bandage that's impressive, the doctor showed us and he'll show you when you're ready.
Jm: but I
Y: Jimin, give yourself some time.
Jimin wants to ask a question that has been bothering him from the start of the conversation, but he's afraid of the answer.
But seeing his hesitation, Hobi asks him.
H: What is bothering you, Jimini ?
Jimin lowers his head and admits.
Jm: It's because I can't hear Yoongi well.
He looks up at his two friends and regains hope.
Jm: but it's probably because of the bandage, it's nothing.
Jimin sees Yoongi and Hoseok exchange a look full of pain and sadness. Jimin then exhales, allowing despair to fill him again.
He expires and demands.
Jm: how bad has my ear been?
Y: He was waiting for you to wake up so that he could test your hearing.
*************
The doctors finally let Jimin out of the hospital, his burns still require a lot of attention. His hearing has decreased, but he is able to hear a minimum without hearing aids
Jimin still has a hard time looking at himself, he only sees the scar. Who makes a circle that covers his earlobe, his jaw and a small part of his neck
Cosmetic surgeons have promised him that they could alleviate scars, but not immediately.
Jimin is closing himself more and more despite the support of the members.
N: Jimin ! come please.
Namjoon knocks several times on Jimin's bedroom door, but like every time they have to leave, Jimin closes the door and refuses to go out.
Jin arrives with the key, they had refused to use the double, but after several tries, Jimin leaves them no choice.
N: Jimin I'm coming in.
Jin and Namjoon enter and see Jimin crying in front of his mirror.
J: Jimin?
Jimin flinch
Jm; No, don't come near.
J Jimin, please, you can't stay locked up like this all your life.
Jm who would like me.
He turns back to his reflection. Anger overwhelms him.
Jm: you saw my face, it's awful.
He violently throws the brush he had in his hand on the mirror. Mirror that shatters instantly.
Jm: I'm just going to scare everyone. You better throw me in the garbage than keep me with you.
Namjoon grabs his shoulders to turn him towards them.
N: stop Jimin you know you're wrong, it didn't take anything away from your talent and you know it.
Jm: But look at my face, I can't go out like this.
J; if you can't go out like this. I might have the solution.
Jin leaves his room and returns with a toiletry bag. Filled with makeup.
J: You know, there is nothing makeup can't fix.
Jimin smiled at him for the first time in a long time.
J: so !
Jin hands him a mirror, and it is with a trembling hand that Jimin ends up observing himself.
Jin comes to wipe away the tears that run down Jimin's cheeks.
J: I will do your makeup every time until you accept yourself.
Jimin jumps into his arms, wanting comfort from the older man.
Jm: Thanks.

Hope you enjoy your summer, be safe.
