A Life With You| TaeKook

Chapter Eight

The room inside the hospital is covered with thick slices while all eyes wear on the man lying peacefully. Taehyung cares about Jungkook's face as he waits for one of the elders to speak. Mr. Jeon sighs knowing there is no turning back now.

"Please tell me uncle" Taehyung pleaded, tears filling his eyes. "Jungkook suffers from heart failure," Mr. Jeon said with a tone that justified him having a hard time speaking.

Taehyung freezes hearing the words that left Mr. Jeon's lips. His hands trembling weakly, holding onto Jungkook's cold hands. "W-wha-t," he said in disbelief.

"J-Jungkook suffers from stage 3 heart failure and is soon going under surgery for transplant." he finishes looking at his only son.

His mother couldn't hold back the tears and cries holding her son. Taehyung doesn't have words nor does he know what he is supposed to feel. His mind keeps repeating each word that has been said but nothing he can understand.

"H-how? H-he has always been fine" Taehyung managed to let out. He doesn't understand how out of all of a sudden his best friend that he knew for so long has a failing heart and he doesn't know.

"When he turned 18 we came to know about the diseases because he started feeling symptoms harder....everything was fine until he started fainting quite often. We also didn't believe that he had suffered from such a thing but remember when Jungkook was away for a week?"

Taehyung slowly nods at the question "he probably told you that he had to be away for a trip but we went to visit doctor Han abroad to run tests and treatment. He was diagnosed there and we went with the treatment."

"H-he know?" Taehyung looks at Mr. Jeon who nods in return. "Yes he does....that's why he hates me" Taehyung frowns at that.

"Jungkook when he got to know about his heart he was destraved like anyone word but that turned into fear thinking he might die. Jungkook likes to show that he is strong but you know he is the most sensitive person I know. So he got scared that one day he might not make it through because of his weak heart"

"But he also didn't want to live like a sick person. Instead, he wanted to live as nothing happened but I can't allow that. I am not against his wishes but him completely ignoring his sickness and doing whatever he pleased only caused more trouble to it. So I prevent him from doing many things but for that he hates me thinking I am not letting him live and putting him in a cage''. The sadness in Mr. Jeon's voice was a clear example of how much he felt bad for his son.

Taehyung looked between the father and son but didn't say anything. It was too much for him to possess anything that has been told to him. All he knows is that he wants Jungkook to wake up and look at him.

It was the same night and Taehyung refused to leave, Jungkook said even for a moment. He doesn't know why but he was afraid that if something happened to Jungkook then he won't be there for him. So even when his phone was going crazy with calls from his so-called "family" he refused to leave.

"Son you should go take a rest" Mr. Jeon walked in holding a cup of coffee. Mrs. Jeon had left early as she needed rest and couldn't push herself anymore.

"I am okay," he said, grabbing one of the cups given to him. But he doesn't drink, he instead lays it side the table and sighs.

"Thank you" Taehyung turns to face Mr. Jeon who has a soft smile looking at him. Taehyung had a frown and did not understand why.

"For not leaving his side" Mr. Jeon comes near his son and ruffles his messy hair. "I know how much of a troublemaker he is and I was always afraid that he might be alone but thanks to you my son always had a friend." he pats Taehyung's hands.
