Table for Two | TaeKook

Twenty Four

I paced aimlessly in front of the door. The door in which my husband was in. I reassured myself a million times, saying that it was only temporary and that Jungkook would be fine. That this was all a dream and that I would wake up soon.

But even with all of these — unhelpful — distractions, still, the tears flowed down my cheek, hitting the collar of my shirt. This happened so many times to the point where the tip of my shirt was soaked with fallen tears, and I felt like my whole world had crashed.

"It's only a procedure, then he'll be perfect again."

"Don't worry, Kim Taehyung, Jungkook will be okay."

"Hey, man, don't worry. It's just one transplant then he'll be right beside you again, okay? I promise."

I've heard it all. But I still couldn't help but know that those were lies. Lies spread and told by surgeons, nurses, and doctors, just so friends and relatives will stop worrying about their patient. But wanna know something? I didn't believe it. Seeing Jungkook's shaking body and tears, his arms gripping his chest and his tiredness, I couldn't help but worry.

Fuck.

I did love him after all. Why wouldn't I want him safe?

I continued pacing the front entryway, thinking about every possible outcome. The one that was most likely to happen was the one that Jungkook was going to die.

It was always a possibility, and, got that matter, the most reasonable.

Then, there was one that was that he would be alive yet have amnesia, his brain not functioning properly with the new heart.

Or, lastly, he would be normal, except there would be major consequences to his whole body, thus being forced to take it easy for the rest of his life.

Why is this so scary? I thought, more tears streaming down my now-red cheeks. I looked at the door once again that lead to Jungkook and even though about opening it. Just for a few seconds. Just to get a small, tiny look...

Oh God. What are you even thinking, Taehyung?

I sighed, not knowing what to do except wait it out. But that was a hella lot harder then it seemed. And I knew, for a fact, that it would be forever until I saw the light of day again.
