Call me HYUNG!

Heart broken

Jungkook sat on the couch with his family and Taehyung’s, watching the award show with quiet anticipation. It was a special night for Taehyung—a huge accomplishment in his career. Everyone in the room was buzzing with pride, eyes glued to the screen as Taehyung appeared on stage, looking as dashing as ever in his fitted suit. Jungkook’s heart swelled with emotion. Even after all these years, the mere sight of him stirred something deep inside, something raw and painful but undeniably powerful.

But nothing could have prepared him for what happened next.

As the show neared its conclusion, Jennie Kim, a famous actress, was called up on stage to present an award. She smiled radiantly, her eyes occasionally flickering in Taehyung’s direction. There was an electricity in the air, one that made Jungkook’s chest tighten with an unfamiliar tension. He watched as Jennie walked toward Taehyung, microphone in hand, a playful glint in her eyes.

And then, it happened.

"Taehyung," Jennie began, her voice echoing through the auditorium and into every household watching the live broadcast. "We’ve known each other for a while now, and in front of all these people, I just wanted to say… I’ve fallen for you."

The room fell silent. Jungkook’s world froze.

Jennie stepped closer, her eyes locked on Taehyung’s. "So, what do you say? Will you be mine?"

Jungkook’s breath caught in his throat, his hands gripping the edge of the couch so tightly his knuckles turned white. He was certain, so certain, that Taehyung would laugh it off, that he would deny it. Taehyung loved him—he had to. They hadn’t had their moment yet, but Jungkook was sure that once they did, everything would fall into place. They were meant to be.

But when Taehyung smiled, a shy, soft smile, and nodded, Jungkook felt the ground crumble beneath him.

"Yes," Taehyung replied, his voice steady, but there was a hint of nervousness in his tone. And then, to Jungkook’s utter horror, Jennie leaned in and gave Taehyung a gentle peck on the lips.
(Sorry 😭😭)

The world shattered.

Jungkook’s heart stopped, quite literally. It was as though the air had been sucked out of his lungs, and every beat of his heart—every ounce of love he had carried for Taehyung—imploded inside him. He couldn’t breathe. The pain was suffocating, crushing him from the inside out. His vision blurred, and all he could hear was the sound of his pulse pounding in his ears.

He stumbled to his feet, clutching his chest, but before anyone could react, the room spun violently, and darkness swallowed him whole.

The moment Taehyung received the call from his mother, his heart plummeted. Jungkook—his Jungkook—had collapsed. They were at the after-party of the award show, and he had barely managed to focus after Jennie’s public proposal, which still felt wrong in so many ways, but when he heard about Jungkook, everything else vanished from his mind.

Without even a second thought, Taehyung ran out of the venue, ignoring the stares and confused murmurs from others at the party. He didn’t care. He couldn’t care. He hailed the first cab he could find, his mind racing with fear and regret. He should have spoken to Jungkook sooner. He should have explained everything, reassured him. Now Jungkook was in the hospital, and it was all his fault.

When he arrived at the hospital, he sprinted inside, breathless and frantic, desperately asking the nurse for directions to Jungkook's room. As soon as he found it, he hesitated only briefly at the door, his heart pounding in his chest. But when he opened it and saw Jungkook lying there, pale and fragile with machines monitoring his every breath, Taehyung felt something inside him shatter.
