Stuck With You || Kim Taehyung

PART-- 10

Y/N’S POV

We ran toward the OT as I heard people cheering. I shook Taehyung’s shoulder.
“Grandpa!” he muttered, half-awake.

Everyone was smiling. Relief filled the air.
“Tae, Dad’s surgery was successful!” his father said.

He hugged him so tight, his body trembling. I smiled widely, feeling my own tears sting my eyes.

“Can I see him?” Taehyung asked softly.

“No, not yet,” the doctor said. “After six to seven hours, one person can visit. He’s under observation for now.”

“I’m just glad everything went well,” I whispered.

Inside the ICU

Grandma sat beside Grandpa’s bed, her trembling hand holding his.
“Why, honey? You planned to leave me alone, huh? How can I live in this world without you… You’re so bad,” she sobbed quietly.

Even unconscious, he looked peaceful — but seeing her like that broke something in me.

PRESENT DAY

It’s been two weeks since Grandpa’s surgery. He’s still in the hospital, slowly recovering.
It’s become my daily routine — visiting him before heading to work.

“Good morning, Grandpa,” I greeted with a smile.

“Morning, my daughter,” he replied warmly, placing his hand on my head as a blessing.

Tae and Grandma were also in the room.
“See, Grandpa, I brought you a bouquet,” I said, replacing the old flowers with new ones.

“Daughter, you don’t have to do all this. Your presence is enough for us,” Grandma said softly.

I kneeled beside her chair. “Why can’t I do it, Grandma? Fresh flowers lighten the mood — they even help you sleep better.”

She sighed. “I’m not saying you can’t—”

“Grandma, I want to do this. And I will.”

She smiled, brushing my cheek. “Okay fine, you win.”

Taehyung chuckled from behind. “Of course she wins — she’s a lawyer. She won’t miss a chance to argue.”

“Oh hello, Mr. Kim, I’m not arguing. I’m just proving why I’m not wrong.”

“Well, that’s technically the same thing.”

We bickered like always, but deep down… it was comforting.
We were like that old couple who fought all the time, yet couldn’t imagine a day without each other.

“Hey, don’t tease my daughter,” Grandpa said with mock seriousness.

“Yes, Grandpa! Only you understand me,” I said, puffing my chest proudly.

Everyone laughed. The room felt lighter.

“See, Y/N,” Grandma said, “he doesn’t even listen to me. Maybe he’ll listen to you.”

“Really, Grandpa? Steak again? You know that’s dangerous for your heart.”

“Grandma, please don’t give him red meat,” I added quickly.

My phone rang. “Excuse me,” I said, stepping out to take the call.

When I returned, I said, “I have to go now.”

“Stay for a while,” Grandma pleaded.

“No, it’s a work call. I really have to go.”

“I’ll drop you,” Taehyung said immediately.
