38- Together, Every Step

Three weeks had passed since Taehyung's surgery, and today was the day he would finally leave the hospital. The room, once filled with the sterile scent of medical supplies and the buzz of hospital machinery, now felt lighter, adorned with bright paper planes, cheerful flowers, and yellow balloons—a testament to the support he had received during his recovery.

Jungkook stood by Taehyung's side as he prepared to go home. The morning sunlight filtered through the window, casting a gentle glow on Taehyung's face. Taehyung, dressed in his casual clothes, moved with a sense of relief and anticipation. He had come a long way, and now the final step was to leave this place of healing and return to his everyday life.

The nurses bustled around, checking Taehyung's vitals and ensuring that everything was in order. Taehyung took a deep breath, feeling the weight of his hospital stay slowly lifting. Jungkook, ever attentive, helped him gather his things, making sure they had everything needed for the transition.

As they approached the hospital exit, Jungkook turned to Taehyung with a reassuring smile. "You ready to go home?" he asked, his voice filled with warmth and hope.

Taehyung looked back at him, a smile of his own spreading across his face. "Yeah, I am. It's strange to think about leaving this place after all this time."

Jungkook nodded, squeezing Taehyung's hand gently. "It's been a long journey, but we made it. And now, we get to start a new chapter together."

Taehyung's eyes softened as he took in the moment. "Thank you for everything. I don't know how I would have gotten through this without you."

Jungkook's expression turned serious for a moment, but his eyes remained filled with affection. "I'd do it all over again if it meant seeing you smile. We're in this together, no matter what."

At the front desk, the final paperwork was completed. Taehyung and Jungkook exchanged a look that spoke volumes—of relief, of shared struggle, and of hope for the future.

As they walked out into the fresh air, Taehyung took a deep breath, feeling the cool breeze against his face. Jungkook opened the car door for him, his actions full of care and consideration.

Taehyung glanced back at the hospital one last time. "It feels good to be going home. I just hope I'm ready for what comes next."

Jungkook looked at him with a reassuring smile. "We'll take it one day at a time. For now, let's just focus on enjoying our time together and getting back to normal. We have all the time we need."
