Nurse Kim ᵗᵃᵉʲⁱⁿ~ʲⁱⁿᵏᵒᵒᵏ

Nurse Kim stood off to the side, nervously watching Jungkook and his mum. His friend Hoseok was there, along with another man that Seokjin did not recognize.

"And this is Nurse Kim eomma," Jungkook smiled as Seokjin bowed politely. "He's the one I told you about," Jungkook whispered softly so no one else would hear. His mother smiled, eyes crinkling at the corners with happiness. Certainly, Nurse Kim was very handsome. She studied his features while Seokjin busied himself with taking away her son's used lunch dishes.

Mrs Jeon was an easy going person. She had fallen in love with her husband when they were at college together. He had seemed formidable at first, but she was able to break through his stern façade quite easily. Her charming good looks and outgoing personality, had been in complete contrast to his, but they do say opposites attract, and that had definitely been them. She gave up her plans to join her father's supermarket emporium and put all her efforts into helping her husband to reach his dreams. And they had done it together. He owned one of the largest shipping conglomerates in Busan and she had been at the forefront to his rise to power. They had everything, a successful business enterprise, two loving children, a happy home. What more could they have asked for?

But then a time came when even they could not control the hands of destiny and they found themselves in the deepest sorrow they could have ever encountered. But fate always had a way of bringing hope into their lives and right then, Mrs Jeon felt like she was finally looking at that glimmer of hope on the horizon.

Seokjin smiled and she reciprocated, watching him tidy up the private ward before going out of the room. She turned her attention to her naughty son who raised his eyebrows and winked at her conspiratorilly. She hit his arm lightly and he winced slightly.

"Serves you right for scaring me you silly bunny," she whacked him over his head. Hoseok giggled and Yoongi, who hardly ever smiled, even broke out into a grin. Jungkook rubbed his head with his good arm and pretended to be offended by his mother. "Stop acting like a baby and tell me everything."

"Urm, Yoongs, let's go get some coffee in the caf. I hear they make the perfect expresso here," Hoseok said as Yoongi followed him, giving Jungkook one last look before turning to the door.

When they had left, Mrs Jeon sighed and looked at her son.

"You wanna talk about it bunny?" She patted his hand softly.

Jungkook let out a heavy breath and shook his head.

"Forget about that Doey*. What do you think about Nurse Kim? Isn't he adorable?" Jungkook smiled happily. His mum stroked his hair away from his eyes and smiled softly, seeing the sparkle in his eyes.

"You really think he'll be the one bunny? I mean, it's been so long and I don't know..... I guess, I sort of gave up hope that things will change."

"You leave that up to me Doey. I know exactly what to do. Plus, Hoseok did some research for me, and he's perfect. He fits everything. I think Nurse Kim will soon be the one to bring back all our happiness," Jungkook said and his mother couldn't deny the infectious optimism in her son's eyes.

She stayed a little while longer until Jungkook's friends returned, then made her way back home, her thoughts filled with all that her son had said. Could it really be that Nurse Kim Seokjin would be the one?

"Your mum is really sweet Jungkook. You're lucky to have a loving parent," Seokjin observed as he fed Jungkook his dinner of seared lamb chops and mashed potatoes with vegetables.
