As Jungkook stood before Y/N's father, a sense of apprehension gnawed at his stomach. Clearing his throat nervously, he broached the delicate topic with cautious words.
"Sir, may I ask about Y/N's health condition?" Jungkook inquired, his voice tinged with concern.
Y/N's father regarded him with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, his gaze penetrating as he assessed Jungkook's intentions.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked, his tone guarded.
Jungkook hesitated for a moment, choosing his words carefully. "I care about Y/N, and I want to make sure she's okay," he explained earnestly, his sincerity shining through.
Y/N's father studied Jungkook for a moment, weighing his words before finally nodding in agreement.
"She has been diagnosed with a serious illness," he revealed, his voice heavy with sorrow. "But we're doing everything we can to help her."
Jungkook's heart sank at the news, his mind racing with a whirlwind of emotions. But before he could respond, Y/N's father fixed him with a pointed look.
"Just remember, Jungkook," he cautioned, his voice firm. "Y/N may be dealing with a lot, but she's still our daughter. Treat her with kindness and respect."
Jungkook nodded solemnly, his determination solidifying with each passing moment. "I will," he promised, his voice unwavering.
And with that, Jungkook left Y/N's father's presence with a renewed sense of purpose. No matter what challenges lay ahead, he vowed to stand by Y/N's side, offering her the support and compassion she deserved, every step of the way.
As Jungkook approached Y/N, a million questions swirled in his mind, but he couldn't shake the curiosity about how she managed to maintain her composure despite facing such difficult circumstances.
"Y/N, how do you do it?" Jungkook asked, his voice laced with genuine curiosity. "How do you stay so...normal?"
Y/N regarded him with a thoughtful expression, her eyes reflecting a depth of wisdom beyond her years.
"I don't care about tomorrow," she replied quietly, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy. "For me, today is important. It's all I have."
Jungkook listened intently, struck by the simplicity yet profound truth of her words. He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at her resilience in the face of adversity.
"But Y/N, how do you cope with...with everything?" Jungkook pressed, his voice faltering slightly.
Y/N met his gaze with unwavering resolve. "Everyone will die one day," she stated matter-of-factly. "I'm just a bit early, that's all."
Jungkook felt a lump form in his throat at her blunt honesty. In that moment, he realized the profound impact of Y/N's outlook on life. Despite facing her own mortality, she chose to embrace each moment with courage and grace, refusing to be defined by fear or despair.
Inspired by her resilience, Jungkook felt a newfound sense of determination stirring within him. If Y/N could find strength in the face of adversity, then so could he.
With a grateful smile, Jungkook reached out to take Y/N's hand, his heart filled with admiration for the incredible person she was.
"Thank you, Y/N," he whispered softly. "For showing me what it truly means to live."
As Y/N glanced at Jungkook, confusion furrowed her brow. She couldn't fathom why he seemed so lost in thought. Unbeknownst to her, Jungkook was grappling with his own inner turmoil, struggling to find the courage to share his feelings.
