My Heart Beats For You ||KookV||

17 Back To That Key Moment ①

Taehyung opened his eyes with great effort. The light coming from above his head flickered intermittently as a shadow flitted about close by. He could hear a slightly trembling voice, but it was very faint and difficult to decipher as it came from a distance.

Within his fuzzy mind, Taehyung's consciousness submerged into the darkness once more...

"The operation was very successful, please do not worry Mr Kim."

"Don't worry? It's been a month already, how could I not worry?"

"Young Master Kim has gone through two surgeries in a row. Inevitably, his body will be weak and show some signs of rejection. So, please don't worry too much, Mr Kim. Young Master Kim will get better."

"Unn..."

Just then, Taehyung let out a low groan and slowly opened his eyes, the brightness of the light causing him to squint.

"Taehyung!" Father Kim rushed to the bed, pleasant surprise flooding his features. "You're awake!"

After adapting to the light, Taehyung could finally see the world. He was in a patient ward and his father was by his bedside.

A few days later, Taehyung had more or less deciphered his current situation. He had gone back to the time when Chaewon had chased after Chanyeol while he had run out in pursuit. Later, he was seriously injured from saving Chaewon and was sent to the operating room for emergency treatment. However, the events this time around were a little different. He had gone after Chaewon like before, but Jungkook made it just in time to save them. He'd arrived just before they rushed into the middle of the road and prevented the tragedy from happening.

Afterwards, they rushed him into the operating room because his condition had worsened since his head collision. After two surgeries, they successfully removed his brain tumour.

In other words, not only did Taehyung not give his own heart to Chaewon but every risk regarding his brain tumour was eliminated.

All these changes happened because of Jungkook.

Knock. Knock. 

The door to his room gently opened and a familiar figure came into view.

"Taehyung." Jungkook, with a bouquet of roses in hand, strolled over to Taehyung's side. His eyes filled with such barely repressed emotions that he didn't even register the pain coming from his pricked fingers.

Taehyung's smile was as bright as the sun, and it instantly warmed Jungkook's frozen heart. The once incomplete world was finally whole and beautiful again.

He placed the bouquet down and embraced Taehyung in his arms, his grip firm but gentle.

He's alive. He's still alive!

Jungkook still couldn't believe that he had a chance to see him alive again. When he found that he had gone back to the day of Taehyung's death, he had no time to think. He drove straight to the hospital and saved Chaewon and Taehyung from danger.

To prevent Taehyung from giving up his life under the excuse of his brain tumour, Jungkook invited an expert neurologist to perform an operation on Taehyung before he woke up.

Of course, the Kim family consented to this decision.

The operation was successful, but he needed to wait for Taehyung to wake up. Every day that passed felt like a year to him, and he feared that he would one day wake up to bad news.

Fortunately, all of this was true. Taehyung was still alive and in his arms.

Jungkook thanked God for giving him a chance to make up for his life's regrets.

This time, he would not let go of him again.

"Thank you," Taehyung said, "I heard from my father that my successful operation this time is all thanks to you."

"No thanks needed." Jungkook stared deeply at him as he continued, "I'm happy as long as you're healthy."

Taehyung felt touched when he saw the deep feelings in this man's eyes and his heart pounded.

After a while, he disrupted the mood when he asked, "How is Chaewon?"

Taehyung was definitely not going to give up his heart this time. In that case, what would happen to Chaewon's operation?

Junngkook's face sank. "She's now abroad and just concluded her transplant the day before yesterday. It was successful."

After the success of Taehyung's operation, Jungkook made sure to send Chaewon out of the country as soon as possible, so that a certain someone wouldn't give his heart to her.

"She has your brother's care so you don't have to worry about it." Jungkook specifically mentioned Chanyeol, so Taehyung could give up on Chaewon as soon as possible. Although he was Chaewon's brother, he didn't think his sister was worth the effort, judging from his previous life's experience."

"Well, as long as she's alright." Taehyung sat comfortably against the pillows, smiling at Jungkook with glowing eyes.

As he looked at the beautiful Taehyung, Jungkook, who prepared himself to endure a long period of abstinence, felt his heart itch. He wished he could press Taehyung under him.

But he held himself back in the end. Haste will ruin everything. Taehyung had just gone through surgery and his body was very weak. He would be unable to endure it.

Taehyung revealed such a seductive smile to him.

Jungkook spoke with a stern face, "Taehyung, do your words from back then still count?"

"What words?"

"After your operation, we'll be together."

Taehyung glanced at him. Is it really all right for you to change a question into a statement? He clearly did not agree.

"I won't force you." Jungkook held his hand and softly said, "I have a lifetime to wait for you."

He had already lived a lonely life without Taehyung. This time, he would never let his happiness escape his grasp. In this world, no obstacle could prevent him from obtaining this man.

Taehyung recovered quickly, and he was able to leave the hospital within half a month. He only needed to return regularly for further check-ups and consultations.

Jungkook took him back to the house where they had lived before, and father Kim even sent them off heartily. He had never seen someone so happy to sell their son off. He was probably still in the dark about the 'affair' between him and Jungkook, otherwise, he would not be so calm.

When Taehyung finished packing and walked out of the bedroom, he found that Jungkook had prepared a table of dishes. Taehyung was surprised. Since when did Jungkook learn how to cook?

"Try it. It's not as good as yours, but it tastes decent." Jungkook stood by the table in his casual clothes, smiling at Taehyung like the model of a good husband.

After Taehyung died in the previous timeline, Jungkook found he couldn't eat the food made by others, so he learned how to cook himself. But he had no talent in that area. When he started, the food he made couldn't be eaten at all. He had lost a lot of weight in a month before managing to cook something edible, barely returning to his regular weight afterwards.

Taehyung knew nothing about what happened, but when he tasted the food, he could taste the man's effort and intentions. 

The Jungkook in his memories was always so proud and arrogant, but the current him seems to have discarded his protective shell and revealed his softest and most vulnerable parts to him.

His previous speculation could be right. Jungkook was indeed sent back in time.
