"Hmm... Taehyung...yea... Grandpa..." Taehyung's hair at the back of his neck stood up at once, as he heard Jungkook's trembly voice from the device.

"Kook? What happened to Grandpa?" Taehyung asked, inevitably fearing the worst.

"Tae... Grandpa... he is being rushed to the hospital... the maid just called me and told me that Grnadpa suddenly collapsed... I'm going to the hospital... would you...come too?" Jungkook cranky voice answered the question with much difficulty.

"Of course... I'll come... don't worry too much... Grandpa would get better soon... hmm..." The care in his voice sweeped out like second nature. After mumbling some more sweet and reassuring words, Taehyung dropped the call and started making arrangements for his leave. The University was pretty understanding and granted him an immediate leave.

The drive to the hospital was nerve wracking. Taehyung admits that in the short time he has know Jeon Seok Koo he has come to become really close with him. The guy is just too difficult to not love. Love, care and warmth radiates out of Grandpa Jeon. Tears brimmed up in his eyes as his moments with Grandpa and his smiling face flashed before his eyes. Griping on the staring wheel, Taehyung pushed the gas pedal, eager to get to the hospital as soon as possible. Luckily, the traffic wasn't a hindrance today.

The hospital was just as chaotic as his mind. Patients, their families and the hospital staff were all running around the building. Panting a little, Taehyung approached the reception. Taking directions from the nurse, Taehyung made it to the observation room. Just outside the closed room, Taehyung saw Jungkook sitting on the bench with his head placed in between his hands. The scene was utterly breaking to witness and pulled Taehyung to come to Jungkook's aid without a second thought.

"Hey~" Taehyung spoke softly, placing his hand on Jungkook's shoulder. Upon listening to the voice, Jungkook shot his head up. Taehyung's heart instantly weeped once he saw the grief striken face of Jungkook. His beautiful black orbs were now red and pained. The cheeks were surprisingly dry and the nose was just as red as the eyes.

"Hey~ You came..." Jungkook's trembling voice snapped Taehyung from his daze. Releasing a heavy sigh, Taehyung pulled Jungkook to himself, hugging his head close to his stomach and patting the back in a soothing motion. "Just let it out... you don't need to keep it in..." Taehyung mumbled as he arched down a little, encompassing Jungkook completely in his warmth.

That was all that was need for Jungkook to cry his heart out, clinging on Taehyung for his dear life. While Taehyung on the other hand just tighten the hug and continued to pat the other's back, as he whispered soft nothings. After the whole meltdown, Jungkook was much calmer. His wails had dies down to soft snifles while Taehyung's fingers were busy caressing the ravenette locks of the other.

Just on cue, the door to the operation room opened. Upon hearing the opening of the door, Taehyung and Jungkook stood up straight. Their eyes shined with expectations as they stared at the medical staff exiting the room.

"Doctor... how's Grandpa's health?" Jungkook asked stepping forward and wiping his tears off hurriedly.

The doctor in charge motioned the other members of the staff to exit before addressing the patient's family. "Mr Jeon, about that... why don't you follow me to my office? I'll brief you there about his health." Already sensing the worry and fear, the doctor continued, "don't worry, Mr Jeon. For now, your Grandpa is out of danger. We have treated him and he is asleep now."

Jungkook and Taehyung released a sigh of relief upon hearing the news. Jungkook then looked around until he found the Jeon Mansion's Head Maid. "Aunt Hyoki, could you look after Grandpa till I and Taehyung meet up with the Doctor?" Jungkook asked the middle aged woman to which she readily nodded.
