Duty of Life and Death || Taekook

Part 3

Yuuma: Mister... Mister... I've something to tell you...

Tae: Yes, Yuuma... are you well today?

Yuuma: Yup! Soon I'm going to meet my parents... I'm so excited!

Tae POV: This is Kim Yuuma, age 7. He is under Dr. Jeon's care. He is an adopted child and I'm glad they adopted still knowing his disease and spending their money for his treatment. Yuuma is undergoing surgery for a brain tumor which has only 6% success rate. He has cheerful friendly personality so we quickly became close. Right now they are administrating to suppress his tumor. Nurse Sana told me, that his parents coming today. They went out of town for some rituals but soon I've to talk with his parents regarding... Funeral... if... *sigh* that's depressing.

Tae: I'm happy for you Yuuma. Come with me... Let me introduce you with someone who'll love to spend some time with you...

[Tae introduce Yuuma with Mrs. Yoshi and within a blink they both connected. Yuuma started to play with Mrs. Yoshi where Mrs. Yoshi looks so happy like she got her own grandchild. Tae is just giggling and smiling by admiring them both. Tae left and went to his room where he saw JK is resting on his bed]

Tae POV: He looks so tired. He had surgery every day this month. *laugh* he is sleeping with his stomach expose.

[Tae went near to accurate his t-shirt but JK hold his hand]

JK: Again wanted me to fulfill your intensions (Kiss)?

Tae: *gasp and 5 step back* I-I won't fall for the same trick again!

JK: Too bad~

Tae: amm... When is Yuuma's operation?

JK: That kid needs to have a CT. If the tumor has reduced, then it'll be done right away. Why do you ask?

Tae: ...you're an incredible doctor, *JK narrow his eyebrow* but it doesn't frighten you? You're being entrusted with a patient life.

JK: Would I be fit as a doctor if I were afraid?

Tae: But I just want—

JK: Taehyung... *get up* if you don't rely on my ability then do as you like. *left angrily*

Tae POV: I made him angry again... I guess I have to apologize, but how...

[Tae's thoughts interrupted when he got a message from Nurse Sana. He has an appointment to meet with Yuuma's parents. His parents are waiting in meeting area. When Tae opened the meeting room... he got shocked yet surprise. He saw Namjoon and Seokjin. Tae immediately bow]

Jin: *bow* Sorry for my earlier behavior and Thanks for taking good care of Yuuma. Whenever we call him, he always talks about you. How you tell him fairy tale story or play with him or help him to learn traditional Hangeul words.

RM: My father adopted Yuuma when he visits Japan. He brings him here a week ago before his death. We are very happy when Yuuma joins our family and it's looks like he completes our family. *words crack* D-Dad told us to t-take a very good care of Yuuma and... *cry* now... we are about to discuss his f-funeral...

Jin: *shout* NOO... nothing as such going to happen. We will not discuss anything... did you get it mortician Kim Taehyung? *cry* did you get Tae...

Tae: Yes, hyung... I get it...

[Tae didn't say anything... he just hugs his teacher because they use to be very close. Jin always treat Tae as his own brother. If you are confuse then let me explain you... RM's father is Japanese and mother is Korean. They use to live in Korea only but his father always travels Japan once in a year to visit his childhood orphanage because RM's father use to be an orphan. His Father adopted Yuuma when he knows about his disease because no one is helping him for his treatment. He took a promise from RM and Jin to take a good care of Yuuma and raise him as his own child. When they admitted Yuuma, RM and Jin has to visit Japan for a week to complete funeral ritual just because they trust JK and his ability... After this discussion with Tae..., RM and Jin went to Yuuma to spend some time where Tae going back to his room but he stops in the middle when he saw Suga and Jimin fighting in Jimin's personal cabin]

Suga: How many times I have told you... stop flirting with your clients.

Jimin: No! I didn't—

Suga: Stop your excuses—

[Jimin just pull Suga and attach his lips where they both starts kissing each other aggressively. Tae gasp and about to say something when someone cover his mouth from behind and whisper fondly "keep quiet and come with me". That person was JK but now Tae quietly following JK to the corridor getting all red where is heart not doing any justice to him.]

Tae: Umm... Dr. Min and Dr. Park...

JK: Yeah, you saw it right? You shouldn't interfere in a quarrel between the lovers.

Tae: *shock* L-Lovers? Uh... um... are they going out?

JK: For about ten years now.

Tae: Ten Years?!

JK: It seems they've been clinging to each other and doing breakup & patch up since their trainee days.

Tae: Why?

JK: There are many doctors who sacrifice their private lives because they absolutely can't take the time. In that respect, those two are making great efforts. They manage to pull through together. Well, they're surgeon and physician. They have their conflicts as well.

Tae: Dr. Jeon... I mean Jungkook... do you want to be married?

JK: *stare Tae* if there were someone who would be willing to join me in this life style then why not! *laugh* but that's probably impossible.

Tae: Why? You have a magnificent job! You are a polite and humble doctor. Every single doctor wants to achieve the position where you already there.

JK: In that case, why don't you join me? Mr. Kim Taehyung... *hold Tae's hands* I like you... do you like me?

Tae: *redden* Huh? Hm?

Yuuma: Dr. Jeon! Mister!

JK: Hey! What's up Yuuma?

Yuuma: You two are friend?

[JK just wrapped his arm around Tae's waist and pulled him towards him]

JK: That's right, we're friend. We get along this well.

Tae POV: MY HEART! Jungkook why are you doing this...

Yuuma: How nice... *looking down* I want to hurry up and see my friends, too. *sadly* but if... I don't...

Sana: Yuuma... time for your medicine.

Yuuma: Coming! See you Doctor, Mister!

Tae: *remove JK's hand* please let me go...

[Tae run towards the private staff balcony and tightly hold the railing]

JK: Taehyung...

Tae: please don't come near me! I don't want anyone see me in my pathetic look. *loudly cry* I don't want anyone judge me like—

JK: When I was kid... a friend of mine was hospitalized with a brain tumor. In the end, my friend died without an operation. *Tae turn back to JK* I was frustrated and annoyed that I couldn't do anything... there was no treatment at that time because they didn't have the technology. But... it's different now and I have the skill to take out that tumor. The slightest possibility can turn into hope.

Tae: I'm terribly worried. *tears falling continuously* That child who is smiling so much right now may be gone in the next moment. I can't get it out of my head. My thinking this way may be really rude to you, Jungkook.

[JK just wrap his hands around Tae's shoulder and hug hum tightly]

JK: Believe in me! I will definably save Yuuma because Jin and RM hyung trust me a lot and this time... I can't break their trust and faith in me. They are like my own brothers. So... Just believe in me...

[Tae and JK look to each other for a few minutes and finally attach their lips. Tae squeeze JK's Lab coat where JK caressing Tae's cheeks and wiping his tears. Their kiss is soft and easy going. No use of tongues just a seal of believe.]
