Ward: Day 1

Chaeyoung entered the room with a basket full of fruits and some files in her hand. She saw Jungkook was already awake, his back resting on the headboard, totally immersed in the game he was playing on his phone.

Jungkook had changed into a hospital gown earlier. His members had work to do at the company, so they wouldn't be able to come visit him until they're done.

He didn't really mind, they're so noisy anyways.

"How are you feeling today?" Chaeyoung asked. She was peeling an apple for Jungkook.

Jungkook lifted his chin to take a short glance at her before putting his eyes back to his phone screen. "Yeah, I'm doing fine, I guess. This angela pe--pe what was it called again?"

"It's angina pectoris."

"Yeah, that. It's calmed down, I think? These days I've been getting those mini heart attacks between hours, but I haven't felt them at all since yesterday." He said, silently cursing at his game.

Chaeyoung finished peeling and cutting the apple into small pieces and gave it to Jungkook. She hummed in response. "That probably means the nitroglycerin pills we forced you to eat are doing their job."

He stopped his fingers from the furious tapping on the screen, and stared at Chaeyoung.

"What?"

"Nothing," he chuckled. "It's just, wow, you really are a nurse."

Chaeyoung glared at him boringly. "Why so surprised? Because I look dumb?"

He smiled, "No, it's just that.. It must've been hard for you, living a double life."

Chaeyoung sighed as she washed her hands in the sink.

"I've been dreaming to become a doctor since I was a kid.. My parents didn't really agreed to it, since I was already an idol. But I convinced them that this would help me after I retire from the entertainment world." She said while wiping her hands. Jungkook just nodded his head and hummed in response.

She averted her eyes to him. "How about you? Why do you work so hard until you get sick like this?"

"Because you rejected me." Jungkook replied nonchalantly.

Chaeyoung froze in her spot. It was the topic that she dreaded, she wanted to avoid it at all cost.

What the-

Great. He just had to bring it up, damn it.

I mean like, yeah, it did seem to affect him badly but-

Luckily then Jungkook spoke again.

"Just kidding." He said, and Chaeyoung's eyebrow twitched.

Just kidding?

He chuckled. "I guess you could say I'm just hardworking."

"But why work to the point of getting sick?" Chaeyoung pondered.

"Well, yeah, I'm a member of BTS so you know, gotta work hard for the fans. We've got fans around the globe, I can't disappoint them. Besides, I'm the main vocal, the lead dancer, and I even make songs. I'm that talented, see?"

Chaeyoung raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that just you bragging?"

"You got me" He grinned.

They laughed together. They talked about more things, from their idol lives to their hobbies and their families and friends. Somehow, it wasn't awkward anymore to have a conversation with Jungkook. Chaeyoung guessed that Jungkook was, uh, what's the word-- cool. Yeah, he's cool.

Hey, this isn't bad at all.

Right then, a few knocks on the door were heard. The door opened, and came in the members of BTS.

"Heeeyyy Jungkookie~! Missed your hyungs?" Hobi was the first one to speak.

The boys had brought more fruits for the maknae. Chaeyoung took it from Jin's hands and put it on the table beside Jungkook's bed.

When she turned around, a bouquet of flower suddenly appeared in front of her. "Tada! It's for you, Rosé-ssi." Taehyung said, peeking his head behind the flower.

Chaeyoung was startled by the action, while the person lying on the sickbed was feeling very irritated.

The members chatted for a while, trying their best to surpress their voices and possibly get themselves kicked out from the hospital. Although it wasn't really working, as Jin continued making his lame jokes, and all the while Yoongi's voice was slowly rising in hopes to shut him up.

Jungkook distracted himself by laughing along his members, but he couldn't miss how Taehyung kept on trying to hold a conversation with Chaeyoung, and it made him more and more annoyed.

Chaeyoung swore she felt someone throwing daggers at her direction, but couldn't care less as she was busy trying to run away from the person who's been talking too much to her. She managed to flee after a while, leaving the boys in the compact VIP ward room.

When Chaeyoung came back to give Jungkook his medicine, the boys already left.

But the sick boy looked.. Annoyed?

Chaeyoung cocked an eyebrow. She was sure that he was laughing just a few moments ago.

"What's wrong?" She asked, but Jungkook looked away, refusing to answer.

Chaeyoung furrowed her eyebrow at the sudden change of attitude.

What's his deal?

But then she shrugged it off, not wanting to care more than she should.

Whatever.

"Here's your pills. Eat them before you go to sleep." She ordered, but only got hummed in response.

Chaeyoung got quite annoyed, and left the room after that.
