After crying and complaining for a full two minutes, Jungkook finally called the doctor to check up on Taehyung.

The doctor smiled when he saw Taehyung awake. He went closer to his bed and asked, while placing the stethoscope on Taehyung's chest, "Take a deep breath!"

Taehyung complied, his chest rising and falling slowly. The doctor listened intently, then asked, "Are you feeling pain anywhere?"

Taehyung winced slightly. "Yeah, in my head. It's pounding."

The doctor nodded thoughtfully. "Alright. That's understandable given the circumstances. Make sure to rest for a few minutes. We'll monitor you closely, but you should be fine."

Taehyung gave a small nod, trying to manage a smile. He then turned his attention to Jungkook and asked, "Hyung, did you inform Eomma?"

Jungkook froze. The thought hadn't crossed his mind to inform their parents, but he had been in no state to think of anything yesterday. He was in pain, his mind was a mess, and his heart burned seeing Taehyung lying lifeless on the hospital bed, with the oxygen mask being his only source of breath.

When Taehyung didn't get any reply, he grabbed Jungkook's hand and jerked it towards himself, breaking Jungkook's numb state. "Hyung!"

"Oh- I- I'm sorry, Bear. I forgot to inform them. Wait, I will inform them."

"Hyung, no! Please don't stress her more. She's already suffering."

"But Bear, she is your mother! She has the right to know about this. How can I not inform her? I will always feel guilty because she gave your responsibility to me and I failed her. If I don't tell her about this, I would never be able to forgive myself."

Jungkook's voice trembled with guilt and worry, his eyes glistening with unshed tears. Taehyung, seeing the torment in Jungkook's eyes, squeezed his hand, trying to offer him some comfort despite his own pain.

"Hyung! Please don't tell her! I beg you! Please..." Taehyung's voice was desperate, tears welling up in his eyes.

"But Bear—" Jungkook began, only to be cut off by Taehyung's pleading.

"No! Please, I will tell her myself when I'm healthy again. I'll explain everything about the whole incident, just not now! Won't you do this for me? Pretty please?" Taehyung's voice trembled, and he made the most innocent Tata Mic face, his puppy eyes wide and imploring.

Jungkook's resolve weakened. How could he say no to his cute bear, especially when he looked so vulnerable? With a heavy heart, he nodded, his own eyes glistening with emotion. Taehyung's face lit up with a wide smile, relief washing over him.

Their moment was interrupted by a nurse entering the room. "Mr. Jeon, the doctor has called for you."

Jungkook nodded, giving Taehyung one last reassuring smile before following the nurse out of the room.

"May I come in, doctor?" Jungkook asked, his voice hesitant.

"Come in, Mr. Jeon," the doctor replied.

"I called you to discuss Taehyung's condition. He's out of danger, but he needs to stop consuming alcohol every day. It's affecting his liver. Although his liver is still fine for now, if he continues, it could become a serious health problem."
