Black Heart

50

It's November. Jungkook's been working on his upper body in their private gym before doing his exercises and physical therapy. The doctor says she can see him walking in no time. Which Jungkook was going to make sure of because there's something important he had to do. And he had to do it soon.

He paced himself as he brought his left leg in front of his right. Holding onto nothing as he continued walking towards the nurse standing in front of him. She clapped happily as he made his way towards her. His walking is slow but natural. He finally reached her and she held her arms out for him to grab.

"Ah! Good job! I believe if we keep walking like this for days you'll be able to walk just as before." She smiled as he breathed out happily with a small smile himself.

"Yeah, I hope so."

"Let's try one more time." She nods to which he complies and walks back to the otherside of the room before walking back to her.

Jungkook smiled to himself as weeks passed. He was sitting in his wheelchair, tapping his foot which he could feel again. The nerves from his brain to his legs reconnected which brought a huge smile to his face. He was yet to tell Jimin of this great news because there is still something he needs to tell him.

Jimin walked into their bedroom, having finished cleaning Prince's bedroom then sent him off with his parents who had come by. Jungkook didn't look up as Jimin moved around the room.

He held his hands together tightly as he thought back to his conversation with Leo.

"So, you're finally growing some balls and talking to me by yourself?" Leo chuckled.

"Well, I'd have to eventually. I know I'm not your favorite person but I'm not going anywhere." Jungkook sighed before looking up to Leo who sat across from him.

"Of course."

"And I never plan to until I die."

Leo hums.

"I never plan to until death do us part. Jimin and I."

Leo's eyes slowly widened.

"You—"

"Mr. Park, please. I won't be as reckless as I have been. I won't purposefully try to hurt your son. We have a son together and we're only dating. He deserves so much more. If you can just let me give him that so much more, I'll be forever grateful. Please, can I have your blessing to marry your son." Jungkook pleaded as his eyes focused on Leo's eyes.

"Jungkook." Leo exhaled with a soft laugh.

"Yes?"

"You remind me of myself when I was younger. Asking Halo's father for his blessing." Leo smiled to himself before looking up to Jungkook.

"I..." He began. "I need to learn to let go of my sons. They're grown and have loves of their own. Jungkook, I can see how much you love my son and your own little son. I can see that very clearly." Leo smiled before standing up.

"Is that why you're working so hard to walk? Other than you just being a determined person you want to walk with him down the aisle." Jungkook nods hastily.

"So, so, do I have your blessing?" Jungkook's eyes were wide with hope.

Leo nods before squeezing Jungkook's shoulder.

"Of course, I do."

Jungkook smiled as he closed his eyes and looked down.

"Thank you." He whispered. His shoulders began to shake. "Thank you."
