Unveiling the Curse

Chapter -5

" Jungkook"

" Jungkook"

" Can you hear me ?"

" Kooki please don't scared hyung"

"Jungkook"

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in Jin's embrace as Yoongi was gently rubbing his hands in reassurance. Jin's friend, Dr. Lee Jaehwan, knelt in front of him with a look of concern, while another doctor and a nurse stood nearby, ready to provide assistance.

Jungkook blinked several times, trying to make sense of his surroundings.

"Jungkook, can you hear me? You had a fainting spell, but you're in good hands now. We're here to help you." Jaehwan spoke softly.

Jungkook nodded weakly, his head spinning with confusion and uncertainty.

"Are you feeling okay, Jungkook?" Jin asked worried.

"Yeah, you gave us quite a scare there." Yoongi said.

"I'm fine, really. Just a little dizzy."Jungkook said weakly.

"Let's get you checked out properly. Come with me to my office." Jaehwan said

"Alright, let's go." Jin said nodding.

The group made their way to Jaehwan's office, where Jungkook was seated and examined thoroughly while Jin and Yoongi waited anxiously by his side.

Jaehwan asked Jungkook a series of questions about his recent health and he took notes as Jungkook explained the sudden onset of pain in his leg and hand, followed by swelling, and how the pain subsided without leaving any visible marks.

But when Jaehwan asked him about the symptoms he may have experienced before the fainting spell, Jungkook remain silent.

Jaehwan gently held Jungkook's hand, his expression filled with empathy and understanding. "Jungkook, please tell me as your hyung, not just as a doctor. You can trust me."

Jungkook's eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Jaehwan, his voice trembling with emotion.

"I-I'm not psycho or mental Ken hyung... Please don't send me to a mental hospital."

Others eyes widening in surprise at Jungkook's words. Jaehwan immediately pulled Jungkook into a comforting hug, his voice gentle and reassuring. "Jungkook, listen to me. You're not going to a mental hospital. You're fine, and you can tell me anything. I'm here to help you, no matter what."

Jungkook nodded, feeling a weight lift off his shoulders as he allowed himself to be comforted by Jaehwan's words.

After few seconds later Jungkook break the hug as Jaehwan asked him " Are you ready to tell me ?"

Jungkook nodded as yes as he poured out his heart to Jaehwan, tears streamed down his cheeks as he recounted every detail about the blood, the nightmare, and about Siwon. He spoke of his fear and confusion, the inexplicable events that had left him shaken to the core.

Jin enveloped Jungkook in a warm embrace, offering comfort and support as he listened to his younger brother's emotional confession.

Jaehwan's expression was one of genuine concern and understanding as he listened intently to Jungkook's words.

After Jungkook had finished speaking, Jaehwan placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "Thank you for sharing that with me, Jungkook. I believe you."

Jaehwan's words hung heavy in the air as he  looked at Jin and Yoongi, his expression grave with concern.

"I have to admit, as I examined Jungkook's reports, I had my doubts about this being a purely medical case. And hearing Jungkook's experience confirms it for me. This goes beyond what science can explain."

Yoongi opened his mouth to interject, but Jaehwan held up a hand, his voice firm yet compassionate.

"I know it's difficult to comprehend, but sometimes there are things that science simply can't explain. What Jungkook is experiencing may not have a medical explanation, but that doesn't mean it's any less real or valid. Sometimes, we have to consider other possibilities beyond what we can see or measure."

Jin and Yoongi exchanged uncertain glances.

Jaehwan's gaze softened as he continued, "Sometimes, there are forces at play that are beyond our understanding. Forces that transcend the boundaries of science and medicine. Call it faith, call it spirituality, call it what you will. But sometimes, we have to acknowledge that there are things in this world that are beyond our control, beyond our comprehension. And in those moments, all we can do is have faith and trust in something greater than ourselves."

Jin and Yoongi fell silent listening to Jaehwan's words.

Jin's brows furrowed in concern as he turned to Jaehwan, his voice tinged with urgency. "What can we do to save Jungkook from whatever is tormenting him?"

Jaehwan's expression softened "I know someone who might be able to help us. She's a shaman, and she's helped many people in situations like this before."

Jin and Yoongi exchanged a glance, weighing their options. "Thank you, Jaehwan. Please, tell us where we need to go."

Jaehwan provided them with the address, and Jin and Yoongi thanked him profusely before rushing out of the hospital.

Upon meeting the shaman, they recounted everything that had happened to Jungkook, detailing his experiences and seeking her guidance and insight.

The shaman turned her gaze to Jungkook, her voice gentle yet probing. "Jungkook, can you remember if anything unusual happened before these experiences began? Did you touch anything out of the ordinary, or encounter something unexpected?"

"I... I don't know. Everything seemed normal until these strange things started happening. I can't think of anything out of the ordinary."

The shaman nodded, "Sometimes, the answer lies in the smallest details. It's possible that something seemingly insignificant could hold the key to understanding what's happening to you."

" Can it be that Voodoo doll ?" Yoongi said suddenly.

The shaman's eyes widened with concern as Yoongi mentioned the voodoo doll, her gaze sharpening as she focused on him."What did you say about a voodoo doll?"

Yoongi hesitated,  "I... I was just wondering if it could be related to the voodoo doll that Jungkook received as a gift."

The shaman's expression grew serious  "Do you realize that a voodoo doll is not a mere playing object? It carries powerful energy and can be used for spiritual purposes."

"But someone gifted it to me, and I've seen similar dolls in shops." Jungkook interjected with surprise.

The shaman nodded thoughtfully, her gaze focused on Jungkook as she spoke. "Regardless of whether someone is gifted or not, a voodoo doll holds significant power to influence energies and spirits."

Jungkook's eyes widened in  "So, you're saying... it was a real voodoo doll?"

"Yes, Jungkook. It seems that you've unwittingly come into possession of a real voodoo doll, and its influence may be the cause of your recent experiences."
