Just Like Heaven - A HopeKook FF

After Hoseok left, Jungkook walked around the hospital observing all the routine that was going on. He remembered the times he worked there. There was nothing more fulfilling in his life than helping people heal. He worked for long hours without caring much about eating or sleeping. He was walking back to his room when he saw two tiny tots running towards his room. There were his nieces – Lisa and Jennie. He stood there watching them as they hugged his physical body and held his hands.

"How come I can feel him but feel nothing when you touch me", Jungkook said thinking about how tingly he felt when Hoseok touched his physical hands. But he couldn't feel any sensation when the kids hugged him.

"Kids didn't I tell you, no running and screaming", Jin said.

"Hyung, I am happy you came to see me. I miss you guys", Jungkook ran to Jin happily speaking but nothing fell on Jin's ears as he couldn't see or hear him.

Jin stood near Jungkook's bed. He sighed. It's been three months since the accident. His eyes welled up, "Wake up Kookie. Aren't you tired of sleeping?". He wiped his tears when a doctor entered.

"Mr. Jin?"

"Yes."

"I need to discuss with you about your brother." Jin asked the kids to stay in the room as he walked out of the room with the doctor.

"Sir, please know we love and miss Jungkook a lot. And as he was a resident doctor, we have been taking extra care of him."

"What is it, doctor?"

"This is so hard to say. When we start to work here, we are asked to sign release forms. Did your brother tell you about artificially prolonging life?", the doctor asked.

"Oh no, I know where this is going", Jungkook said to himself.

"Well, Jungkook never told me about it", Jin said, his voice shaking.

"Well he was against it", the doctor said.

Jungkook looked at the man irritated. This idiotic doctor is an arrogant selfish bastard and always got on Jungkook's nerves. "Okay, but that was before, hyung, I am absolutely okay with it now. Prolong it please....", he spoke again.

"Well, there is still some activity in his brain, isn't it? This means he is still alive. There are people who have woken up from coma", Jin countered.

"Yes, hyung tell him", Jungkook was happy that his brother is on his side even though he couldn't hear him.

"Well, there are no proofs Mr. Jin", the doctor tried to reason.

"There has to be or else why the hell am I still here", Jungkook barked at the doctor but sadly no one can see him (except Hoseok).

The doctor assured Jin that he won't go for removing artificial support unless Jin signs on it. He hands over the papers to Jin who looks at it.

"Don't sign it hyung, I am here", Jungkook spoke. "You are my brother, why can't you feel me or hear me?", he said dejectedly still praying that Jin doesn't sign the papers.

"Sometimes, it's better to let go and ask for God's forgiveness", the doctor was talking when Jin cut him off, "I said I will think about it." He walked away angrily dragging his two kids. He didn't want to even think about signing those papers. How can he do this to his beloved brother?

"Thank you hyung", Jungkook said relieved that at least there is some hope.

Hoseok sat in front of the dinner table. He looked at his plate and the empty apartment. He swallowed a bit forcefully. Something didn't feel right.
