Fragments of Us ( VKOOK)

Taehyung sat at the dinning table, enjoying his coffee in the morning sunlight. He glanced at the clock, it was almost time for Jungkook to come down. He set out an extra plate, just in case.

A few minutes later, Jungkook came downstairs, his backpack slung over one shoulder.

"Morning, Kook," Taehyung greeted warmly. "I made your favorite, pancakes. Want to join me?"

Jungkook shifted on his feet and smiled briefly. "Thanks, hyung, but I'll get something from the canteen. I'm running a bit late."

Taehyung's smile faltered for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Sure, no problem. Just thought you might like some breakfast here." Jungkook nodded, muttering a quick, "Thanks, maybe tomorrow," before heading towards the door.

Taehyung watched him go, a pang of sadness in his chest. It had been like this for a while now. Gone were the days when Jungkook would eagerly sit beside him, chattering about his day or asking for help with homework. Now, it felt like they were drifting apart.

He didn't want to force Jungkook to spend time with him. After all, his brother was 18 now, an adult with his own life and responsibilities. But Taehyung couldn't help but miss their brotherly moments.

With a sigh, Taehyung went back to his breakfast, trying to stop feeling sad. Maybe he just needed to find a new way to connect with Jungkook that fit into his brother's new routine.

Later that evening, Taehyung came home from work and sat on the couch, flipping through channels on the TV. He heard the front door open and looked up to see Jungkook entering, looking a bit tired but otherwise fine.

"Hey, Kook," Taehyung called out, but Jungkook didn't answer and walked past him towards his room.

It was unusual, Jungkook rarely ignored Taehyung, even though he had been quieter lately. Taehyung wondered if something had happened at college. Should he ask? Would Jungkook open up like before?

Taehyung decided to give Jungkook a few minutes to settle in before approaching him. He turned off the TV and went to Jungkook's room, knocking gently on the door.But there was no reply. He knocked again. "Jungkook! Hey, can I come in?" Still no reply.

He tried to push the door, and it opened. He looked confused but entered anyway.As he entered, he saw Jungkook sleeping on his bed, covered with a blanket. "He's sleeping? So fast?" He thought to himself. He went near him and noticed Jungkook's face looked quiet and a little pale.
"Why is he covered with a blanket? Gosh, it's summer and the temperature is high!" He thought to himself and shook Jungkook a little. "Hey Kooki, don't cover yourself, it's hot here, bub." He said, but Jungkook didn't respond. "Oh, this bunny is really a heavy sleeper!" He said and pulled the blanket.

Taehyung was shocked to see the blanket soaked with red liquid. He looked down at Jungkook, whose bed was also covered in the red liquid, which was coming from Jungkook's wrist, cut and bleeding. Taehyung felt like throwing up but more than that, he felt faint seeing Jungkook in this state. Panicking, he pulled out his handkerchief and tied it to Jungkook's bleeding hand.

He shook Jungkook and patted his cheeks to wake him up."Jungkook! Wake up, please!" He started to cry.When it didn't work, Taehyung called out frantically as tears streaming down from his eyes.

He shakky pulled out his phone and called for an ambulance.

"He...hello?"

"Hello, sir. How can we help?"

"My... my brother cut his wrist... it's bleeding... and he's unconscious. Please, please come fast," Taehyung cried.

"Sir, please calm down. We are on the way, but you need to tie something around his wrist to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, he will lose a lot of blood."

"Yes... yes, I have tied something."

"Alright, sir. Take a deep breath. The ambulance is on the way."

With that, the phone call ended.

Taehyung knelt beside the bed, holding Jungkook's limp hand tightly while pressing the handkerchief against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. His mind raced with fear and disbelief."Please, Jungkook, don't leave me." Taehyung whispered, his voice trembling.

Minutes felt like hours, and finally, Taehyung heard the sound of sirens. He ran to the front door, throwing it open, and waved frantically as the ambulance pulled up.
Paramedics rushed in, and Taehyung led them to Jungkook's room, his heart pounding.

The paramedics moved quickly, assessing Jungkook's condition and stabilizing him before placing him on a stretcher. Taehyung followed closely, his eyes never leaving his brother's pale face.As they loaded Jungkook into the ambulance, one of the paramedics turned to Taehyung. "Are you coming with us?"

"Yes, of course," Taehyung replied, climbing into the ambulance. He sat beside Jungkook, holding his hand, as they sped toward the hospital. He whispered softly, hoping his words would reach his brother."Hang in there, Jungkook. You're going to be okay. I promise," He said, tears streaming down his face.
At the hospital, doctors and nurses took over, wheeling Jungkook into the emergency room. Taehyung was left in the waiting area, his hands trembling and his mind racing with fear and guilt. He paced back and forth, unable to sit still, his thoughts consumed with worry.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice call out, "Taehyung hyung!"

He turned around to see Eunwoo, Jungkook's friend, rushing towards him. "What happened? You are here ? Is everything fine ?" Eunwoo asked, his face etched with concern.Taehyung tried to speak, but the words caught in his throat. Tears began to well up in his eyes. "Jun... he tried..." He stammered, struggling to get the words out.

" What happened to Jungkook ?" Eunwoo asked shocked and scared."He...he cut his wrist." Taehyung said.

Eunwoo's eyes widened in shock. "What? How did this happen?"Taehyung shook his head, unable to articulate the depth of his fear and guilt. "I don't know... I don't know why he would do this."

Suddenly Eunwoo's anger erupted like a sudden storm as he said "It's all because of her, . His girlfriend... she cheated on him, and when Jungkook confronted her, she humiliated him. He was devastated. I know he was upset, but I never thought..."

"Girlfriend?" Taehyung interrupted, his voice barely a whisper as he tried to piece together this new revelation as Jungkook... he never told him about this.

Eunwoo hesitated, his eyes filled with regret. "You... didn't know...I....I ..thought he did... I'm sorry, hyung.. I..."

Before Eunwoo could say more, a doctor emerged from the emergency room, catching their attention.

"Mr. Kim?" the doctor addressed Taehyung.
Taehyung nodded anxiously. "Yes, how is my brother ?"

The doctor offered a reassuring smile. "He's stable now. We've stopped the bleeding and cleaned the wound. He's wake up now. However, it's best not to ask him any questions about what happened right now. He needs rest and time to recover."

Taehyung nodded gratefully "Can I see him?"

"Yes, you can go in." The doctor said, gesturing towards the door to Jungkook's room.
