Ai Moirai | VKOOK

Chapter 1 (relieved)

🥼🔮

Gods didn't feel the need to sleep, but being in contact with humans made them lesser beings. Some gods even started to feel things they couldn't feel before. It made them vulnerable and meaningless.

The fact is, they couldn't control themselves. Those things, they swirl around you unexpectedly.

The humans called them emotions.

Nyx, the Goddess of the Night, brought darkness every day. And that's the only part of the day when Jungkook feels at ease. His eyes drop slowly, his heartbeat slows, and he sleeps, as if the darkness enfolds him like a crib, as if Nyx is telling him that everything is going to be alright.

Gods, unlike humans, don't dream. At least, Zeus' offspring couldn't.

They don't dream because they can't be scared of anything, and they couldn't desire anything: they already had everything they wanted.

In 10,000 years of living, Jungkook never dreamt a single night of his life. But on the 13th june of 2023, he did for the first time. He dreamt of a gold light, and it was warm.

When he woke up, he felt lost without the warm light embracing him. He touched his cold skin, and he came to the conclusion that there was something he didn't have:: a sun able to warm him up.

Seoul, 2023.

The name "Kim Taehyung" monopolized every newspaper and online magazine. He was almost every day trending on twitter. Not even idols had this media phenomenon going on.

Kim Taehyung was not a celebrity, but he might as well be considered one. At the age of 28, he was the youngest doctor to perform various surgeries with a 100% success rate.

Netizens suggest that the Gods blessed him with this talent. Some of them even said that he was a God in disguise, stepping down to earth with the intention of bringing some smiles to sad families.

Perhaps Kim Taehyung was not a God, but he did have a gift.

And his heart clenched every time he had to work with a child. "Good morning sunshine, do you feel ready for today?"

Kim Taehyung stroked the little girl's long hair, smiling as wide as possible so the little girl could smile too.

Sarang, the little girl whose heart did not function as well as it used to do, giggled, not ashamed to show her beautiful smile, even though the fairy tooth took away lots of her teeth. And to Kim Taehyung, it was the best smile ever to receive. "I'm ready, oppa! I'm happy because oppa will stay with me all the time, right?"

Kim Taehyung showed her his signature boxy smile. "Of course! Where would I be, if not with my favourite child in the whole world?"

Sarang's parents smiled too, when in reality the only thing they wanted to do was cry.

"Now the nurse is going to help you prepare for the surgery, in the meantime oppa is going to chat a bit with your mommy and daddy. See you soon sweetheart".

Sarang nodded and waved with her hand bye bye, while Kim Taehyung and Sarang's parents got out of the room.

Sarang's mom couldn't help but cry. "Dottor Kim, please save our baby girl. I'm so scared she-"

"Everything will be alright. I will do my best. I know Sarang's situation is complicated, but I am surrounded by the best medical workers out there. With their help, I'm positive Sarang will be okay." Kim Taehyung said, holding tight Sarang's mom's hands.

Kim Taehyung then went to the operating room, after thoroughly washing his hands and arms, and performed the surgery for 4 hours straight.

"You know, in every article I read, Kim Taehyung always emphasized that he could successfully perform the surgery because of his team, and even though I feel like it is true, at the same time I don't. It's him, it's him that's different from us. He's special and he doesn't know that."
