Josh sat quietly in the sterile hospital room, the soft hum of machines the only sound breaking the heavy silence. Jungkook lay in the bed, his once vibrant face now pale and gaunt, eyes closed as he rested. The diagnosis had come like a bolt from the blue: the bullet had caused a severe tear in the calf muscle, an aggressive form that will leave the tall brunette to limp for the rest of his life. This news had turned their world upside down in an instant but they didn't have time to sit there and sob on this issue. The tall brunette was desperate to meet you and fix the things between the two of you. Meanwhile Josh was determined to lock up Jungko0k with him for the rest of his life.
"I wish things were better." Josh mumbles as he tears up watching his lover lay so helplessly.
Josh had been there from the beginning, supporting Jungkook through every test, every treatment, every painful step. But today was different. Today, the weight of it all seemed to bear down on him with an almost crushing force. Jungkook stirred, his eyelids fluttering open. He looked at Josh, his eyes dull but filled with the same warmth that Josh had fallen in love with.
"Hey" Jungkook said, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Hey champ" Josh replied, forcing a smile. "How are you feeling?"
Jungkook tried to sit up, wincing in pain. Josh was immediately at his side, adjusting the pillows behind him. "Easy, easy," he murmured. "You need to rest."
"I've been resting for days" Jungkook said with a faint smile. "I feel like I've slept more in this hospital than I have in my entire life."
Josh chuckled softly, sitting down on the edge of the bed. He took Jungkook's hand in his, squeezing it gently. "We're going to get through this," he said, more to reassure himself than Jungkook.
Jungkook's smile faded, replaced by a look of deep sadness. "Josh, we need to talk."
Josh felt a knot form in his stomach. He knew what was coming, but he wasn't ready to face it. "About what?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
"About... everything," Jungkook replied. "About what happens if...if I don't make it."
"Don't say that" Josh said quickly, his voice sharp with desperation. "You're going to make it. We're going to beat this."
"Josh" Jungkook said softly, his eyes locking onto Josh's. "We have to be realistic. I need you to be prepared for whatever happens."
Josh felt tears prick at the corners of his eyes. "I can't lose you," he whispered. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
Jungkook reached up, cupping Josh's face in his hand. "You'll go on" he said firmly. "You have to promise me that. No matter what happens, you have to live your life. You have to be happy."
"How can I be happy without you?" Josh asked, his voice breaking.
"You'll find a way" Jungkook replied, his own eyes filled with tears. "I believe in you."
