Miracles From Heaven - [TAEBIN FF]

Sechzehn

Jungkook's brows knitted together in confusion, and he released his death grip on Soobin's collar, who certainly didn't know he was holding his breath until then.

The doctor took a step forward to the nurse.

"What?"

The nurse shrugged her hands, smiling.

"It's gone. The cancer, the disease, all of it. And... his head stopped bleeding."

Jungkook's mouth fell open.

"W-What?"

Whereas Soobin, who heard every word, could only feel his eyes beginning to brim with tears of joy, relief, and gratitude.

"We can't explain it, but... nothing is showing up anymore on our PET scans. Somehow, he's cancer free. And even more, there is only a scar on the patch on his head we shaved off to sew the wound," the nurse answered in detail.

Still frowning and in confusion, Jungkook barged through the operation doors, needing to see for himself what was happening, the nurse following him.

Now that he was all by himself, and only a few nurses were around at the end of the hallway, Soobin could finally fall to his knees.

Unashamed of his vulnerability, Soobin bursted into tears.

His hand came up to clutch his crucifix, his fingers clasping around the cool metal as he sobbed, letting the tears stream down his cheeks.

"He answered me..." he whispered.

A shaky exhale followed.

"God... you answered me."

Soobin had only one explanation that could explain Taehyun's sudden and almost magical recovery.

A miracle.

Jungkook entered the operational room, freezing in his steps because of how baffled he was.

At the sight of Taehyun, sitting up on the stretcher, simply stretching his arms and legs after waking up from the deep sleep he was in.

The doctor simply couldn't believe it.

His skin was... clear.

So smooth and pale and immaculate, with no more scab wounds or visible charring, a sight he had grown accustomed to in the two years Taehyun had been admitted in.

Taehyun turned to the side, looking at Jungkook with his curious doe eyes.

"Doc? Is everything okay? You're staring at me like I'm a ghost."

And that too was Jungkook's breaking point.

The doctor walked over, and before Taehyun could process it, Jungkook too had wrapped both arms around the young boy, a tear beginning to slip down before more followed.
