Hope is Gone | SOPE [completed]

SIX : Half Brother's Antics

It's been almost a week since Yoongi started working two jobs a day and he's already exhausted. In fact, to say that he is currently exhausted would be an understatement to describe what he's feeling right now.

In the weekdays, he works for twenty hours or more because lately there has been a short for hospital nurses since his colleagues doesn't really care if they skip their duties.

Yoongi, being the nurse who loves taking care of patients and being the nurse who will never be able to sleep tight at night knowing that nobody in the hospital are willing to take care of the patients, he works overtime, just to be there for the patients.

Mind you, he does not receive compensation whenever he works overtime, so all that exhausting work is just purely from his love for his profession.

But just because he willingly did it doesn't indicate he desires to continue living like this for the rest of his life.

It's like– He's just resorting to this option because there's nothing better around him.

Yoongi needs money because his mother needs it too and especially Jungkook, his half brother, needs it for his education and Yoongi will do anything in this world just to see his baby brother graduate.

And if ever there's a better option, Yoongi will gladly drop his job at the hospital just so he can earn more money in order for Jungkook to graduate and for himself to save up to continue med school.

He's slowly coming into a realization that his passion is slowly draining him.

His family and his dream to be working at the medical field, those are his passion.

They're draining him.

Yoongi swung open the door to his apartment, walking like an undead zombie, dragging his feet through the carpeted flooring of his place.

Though it is incredibly hard to find an affordable apartment in Seoul because all them are too pricy, he managed to find one, he chose to settle in even if the walls are thin and you can literally hear the people from next door snore and poop.

It's currently 4:00 AM, Yoongi's shift at the hospital finally ended and thankfully, he didn't have to work overtime today so he's getting 3 hours of sleep, it's nothing much but atleast he's getting some sleep, right?

He didn't even bother getting out of his hospital scrub, he doesn't want to waste his time and rather he'll spend it all on sleeping, he needs it so bad, his head is pounding everyday because of the sleep drought.

But then of course, universe hates Yoongi so much that it will not let him achieve his three hours sleep because before he can even shut his eyes off, his phone went ringing from inside his backpack.

Next time he'll try and learn to put the device on do not disturb.

The sleep deprived man decides to just answer the phone so all of this will be over with, because he knows that if he chose to ignore it, his curiousity and guilt will not let him sleep soundly.

Besides, his sleepiness has now worn off because of the sudden ringing of his phone so he might as well just answer it.

Incoming call from Eomma ..

"Hello eomma, why are you still awake? It's 4 AM." Yoongi said after answering the phone, trying hard not to sound tired to not provoke his mother from asking about his situation.

"I'm sorry I had to call around this time. It's about Jungkook." Chaerin, Yoongi's mother cried from the other line.

"What did he do this time, ma?" Yoongi sighed as he pressed his fingers against his temple, preparing himself to hear what his mother will say about his troublesome brother.
