3rd person POV

"Jungguk, this is Kim Taehyung and Taehyung, meet my brother, Jeon Jungguk." Jin introduced. 

Taehyung got up from the seat who knows why. He's surprised but managed to put a facade on. 

"Hi! It's nice to meet you." He told. 

"Nice to meet you too." Jungguk told. Jungguk got up from the wheels chair as jin pushed it towards the bed slowly and he sat on his bed. Then Jin helped him to take his feet onto the bed and adjusted the covers as jungguk leaned onto the headboard. 

"I'll leave you two to talk. There is a cafeteria in the ground floor Tae, you can use it if you wish. When it's time to go, I'll come and get you." Jin told, looking at his wrist watch. 

"Ok Jin hyung." Taehyung told with a nod. 

"And Jungguk, no funny stuff or I'll ground you ok?" Jin told with a teasing smile to which jungguk huffed. With that Jin flew off to work. 

"So...Hi." Taehyung tried to start a convo with the sick boy.

"Hi." Jungguk told, feeling shy all of a sudden. 

"How old are you?"  Taehyung asked. 

"24. What about you?" Jungguk told. 

"I'm 26." Taehyung told.

"Nice hair." Jungguk stated, out of the blue. Silver hair boy smiled his famous boxy smile. 

"Thanks." Taehyung told. 

"You are joonie hyung's brother right?" Jungguk asked. To which Taehyung gave him a nod.

"You studied abroad right?" Jungguk asked again to which Tae again gave him a nod. 

"If you don't mind me asking, how's life? Like, normal life?" Jungguuk asked. He wanted to know, how it is, the world of normal people at his age is like. It's not everyday he meets all healthy people to visit him nor does he meet all healthy and normal people in the hospital. 

"Well, it's...uh... ok? We go to college, the professors give us lectures, then give us homeworks, assignments and then we were occasionally given exams. We hang out, we throw parties sometimes, we go on trips and we have girl friends who's a total stranger for like one day and poof! She's gone the next morning. We study our asses off sometimes, we have fun together sometimes blah blah. Sometimes we get into fights and get all injured. There was this time we got arrested for one night thanks to a fight. We get drunk sometimes too. Normal boring young adults." 
Taehyung blabbered in front of jungguk who's looking at him with his big doe eyes with interest.

"It does look normal." Jungguk whispered, fascinated. He didn't look sad that he's not living that life, he looked happy that he got to know those information. 

"It's quite boring in here. You can turn on the TV." Jungguk said, giving him a remote. Taehyung took the remote, quite uninterested. He just flipped the remote in his hands before looking at jungguk.

"Are you allowed to go out?" He asked though he saw him outside in the park just yesterday without Jin's permission. 

"I'm not, but I sneak out sometimes." Jungguk told him.

"I don't wanna get you injured on our first meet. I'll come with Jin hyung's permission when I come next time. Still, I'll take you on a tour, or you can take me on a hospital tour?" Taehyung asked him with a smile to which Jungguk smiled back.
