Taehyung's pov

MY STOMACH WAS NAUSEOUS the entire ride to the hospital.

Poor Jungkook.

The worry in his eyes was evident as he kept staring blankly ahead. His driver had taken the rest of the night off, so Jungkook drove us in his BMW to Hospital.

I placed my hand on his leg. "She'll be okay."

"Yeah," he said without taking his eyes off the road.

An hour later, we pulled up to Seoul Hospital. Jungkook took my hand as we scurried toward the entrance.

"My grandmother is here. Jeon Lily. Where can I find her?" Jungkook asked the woman at the front desk.

"Room 257," she said.

The elevator ride was extremely nerve-wracking. The antiseptic smell of the hospital made me sick to my stomach. When we got to the room, a doctor and a nurse were standing next to Mrs. Jeon's bed.

I immediately recognized her as the old woman with blue hair from the pictures in Jungkook's phone. My heart warmed at the way her eyes brightened when she saw him.

"Jungkook. Who told you I was here?"

"Ria called. Are you okay?"

"I didn't want her to worry you."

"She did the right thing. What happened?"

"I don't remember. I slipped and fell, but I don't know how it happened. They're saying I broke my hip."

The male doctor held out his hand. "Mr. Jeon, I'm Dr. Song."

"Doctor, can we speak outside for a moment?"

"Certainly."

Jungkook walked out of the room with the doctor, and the nurse followed them out. They'd left me all alone with Mrs.Jeon.

I'd still been looking out toward the door when her voice startled me. "You must be Taehyung."

It floored me that she knew my name, that he'd mentioned me to her. "That's right. It's nice to meet you, halmeoni." I smiled and sat down on the chair adjacent to her bed.

"I can see now why he's so taken with you. You have a bright, natural beauty that's rare to come by."

"Thank you so much."

Her voice sounded tired and weak. "Jungkook is very private. He may never give me the chance to get you alone again, so forgive me if I'm laying a lot on you at once..."

I swallowed, not expecting an interrogation. "Okay."

"I know, at times, my grandson can be an absolute prick."

I let out the breath I'd been holding and laughed. "Yeah. I found that out pretty quickly when we first met."

"And I heard that you called him out on his crap."

"I did."

"Good. But you know, that's not really who he is deep down."

"I'm starting to see that."

"When his mother died, he internalized everything. It took a long time for him to put himself out there, and the one time he took a chance, he got burned."

"Ga-yun ?"

Halmeoni looked shocked. "So, he told you about her..."

"Well, I know a little. I know that she's with his former friend, Himchan, now."
