Jungkook was just standing there, totally lost in Taehyung's gaze, still trying to process what had just happened and struggling to understand what Taehyung had said. With a puzzled look on his face, he started to think about it.

Abruptly, the room's door swung open, diverting both of their attention away from each other.

"Oh God!! Tae Bear!" Mr. Kim hurried over to Taehyung, and Jungkook stepped to the side, snapping out of his daze.

Mr. Kim hugged Taehyung tightly, overcome with relief and began crying like a child. "I was so worried. I thought--- I thought I---"

"Lost me?" Taehyung said playfully but nobody was in the mood. Dohyun immediately pulled away with his teary cheeks.

Meanwhile, Jungkook clenched his fists at that, before turning to leave and give them privacy.

"Shut up, Tae!! Don't say that! Please---" Dohyun couldn't hold back the tears. "Never say that!! I live for you. I can--"

Taehyung sadly smiled at him, cupping his cheek and wiping away his tears with his thumb. "Okay, I am sorry. But I am fine, Appa. Please don't cry."

Dohyun experienced a hitch in his breath, and Jungkook briefly halted in his steps before leaving the room.

Taehyung continued to console his father, unaware of the turmoil and emotions he stirred within Dohyun.

Dohyun wanted to cry more now, but he didn't want to ruin it. Taehyung pulled him into a hug and leaned his head on his shoulder, finding comfort and solace in his father's warmth.

"Thank you for being fine. Thank you." Dohyun whispered discreetly.

The moment he got a call from Bright, everything felt like a nightmare. But now, being in Taehyung's embrace and hearing him call him 'Appa' after a decade felt like a dream. He felt a newfound sense of fulfillment like his life just found meaning.

Dohyun pulled away and sat next to him, just holding each other's hands in silence.

"You need to rest, Tae Bear. I will go have a word with the doctor." Taehyung nodded with a weary smile, visibly tired and sleepy. Dohyun covered him properly with the duvet,  planting a gentle kiss on his forehead before leaving.

Once he exited the room, his legs trembled, and Bright hurried to support him. He guided Mr Kim to a seat while Jungkook observed from a distance.

Dohyun quickly regained his composure, expressing gratitude to Bright before excusing himself to consult the doctor, with Jungkook trailing behind.

Once they were out of view, Bright tentatively entered Taehyung's room. He walked towards him with an unwavering gaze fixed upon the peacefully sleeping form.
