"Mr. Kim Taehyung?" the doctor asked. 

"YES!!" Jungkook almost yelled as he jumped out of the chair he was sitting on. "How is he??" Nayeon asked. 

"He is....fine. I don't think there will be any lasting effects, but he is going to experience withdrawal. You guys better come to my room. There is a lot to talk about" the doctor said and walked out of the waiting room with the whole herd behind him.

"Okay, so first of all, my name is Im Daesan. Second, the paramedics told us that he was found after being held hostage. So he is going to be mentally damaged, of course. But the problem is, he is physically damaged too. 

His body shows signs of being destroyed multiple times recently. Can I know how long he was held hostage? Because the drug intake is heavy too. Extremely heavy. I am surprised he is alive" the doctor said. 

"Four months" Jungkook said. It took everything he had in him to not let his tears get out of his eyes.

"Oh. He was raped for the past four months, then. Maybe every single day. I am not sure how frequently it was done, but he definitely has signs of being destroyed multiple times in the recent past. Was Mr. Kim dating anyone before the whole incident?" Daesan asked. "Me" Jungkook blurted out immediately. 

"Ohh, okay. I will talk to you alone after this" Daesan said. "Okay" Jungkook said and looked at Seokjin. Seokjin nodded, assuring him that it would be okay.

"Right. So the next thing is, he is going to be physically weak. Mainly his  legs. He will be fine once all the effects of the drug and the withdrawal wears off. But until then, his legs are going to be weak. It is your wish if you want to have therapy for his legs. Because he will be fine after a few weeks, anyway" Daesan said. 

"Ohh. We'll think about it" Mr. Kim said. 

"Okay. His voice is going to be weak too. Like I said, these are just the effects of the drug. It will be fine once all of it wears off. As for his mental state, he is going to be confused. That is again one of the effects of the drug. His memory is going to be horrible. Once again, it will be fine once the drug and the withdrawal wears off. 

So it is better if he isn't surrounded by too many people. It will be great if only one person is with him, because it can get too confusing for him if more people are around him. It might take a toll on his mental state" Daesan explained.

"I'll take him home. I'll move back to Seoul and take him there" Jungkook said without hesitation. 

"But-" Nayeon started. 

"He is right. We have your parents and my father in our house. It is their house, anyways. The familiar surroundings might help him. I'll take you to Seoul every week if that is okay" Mr. Kim cut her off. 

"Yeahh. My husband and I will help him, don't worry about that. We'll take care of Tae too" Seokjin assured. 

"Okay" Nayeon said after a few minutes of silence. 

"Is that it?" Mr. Kim asked the doctor. "Yeah. I just have to talk to Mr. Kim's boyfriend here" Daesan said, pointing to Jungkook. 

"Okay. We'll pay the bills until then. How long will he have to stay here?" Mr. Kim asked. "A week. Until we get the drugs out of his blood and treat him for the other physical damages. But he will have the effects and withdrawal for another two months or so" Daesan said. 

"Ohh" Nayeon exclaimed. "We'll....We'll just go and pay the hospital bills" Mr. Kim said and rushed out of the room to hide his tears from the doctor. 

No matter how manly he tried to be, he just couldn't digest all that happened to his son. 

"W-What did you want to talk to me about?" Jungkook asked once everyone left. 

"Yeah, about that. You will have to be very careful with him when you guys take things physical. His insides are completely destroyed. He can still take a length, but you have to take things slow. 

He might not have trauma because of the confusion that was present when everything happened. He might remember what happened, but I don't think he will experience any trauma. So yeah, you can still do things, but you just have to be slow, gentle and careful" Daesan said. 

"Of course. I will be very careful" Jungkook's voice broke. 

"Also, you have to be strong for him. Looks like he has gone through a lot. Even though the confusion right now might prevent him from remembering much from these four months, the basic memories from this time might be imprinted in his mind" Daesan said. 

"Okay" Jungkook said, losing his battle with his tears and letting a single tear fall out of his eye. 

Daesan took a deep breath and arranged his files on his desk. "We'll keep the visiting hours open for you and his parents the whole time. You can stay with him in his room, if you want. You will just have to stay out of the way when we are working on him" he said. 

"Thank you. I'll inform his parents too" Jungkook said, wiping his tears. 

"You are welcome. You can go and meet him now, if you want. He obviously won't remember you, but you have plenty of time to work on it. He is in room number 301" Daesan said, standing up from his seat. 

"Thank you" Jungkook thanked him once again and left the room. 

"We can go and see Tae. He is in room number 301" he said once he reached the rest of them. "Let's go, then" Nayeon said. "There's more. We can stay in his room, if we want. I will stay with him" he said. 

"Okay. I'm proud of you, Kookie" Mr. Kim said, placing a hand on Jungkook's shoulder and smiling at him. "You guys don't worry about expenditure. We will send money to you every month. You can use that. Just focus on getting better, okay? Not just Tae, but you need to recover too. We all know what you have been through for the past four months" he said. 

"Yeah, Kookie. I'll send money too. Don't worry about getting a job for now. You can focus on that after getting better, okay?" Mr. Jeon said, pulling his son into a tight hug. 

"Thank you, Appa. Thank you, Ajeossi. I will make sure he gets all the love in this world" Jungkook said, hugging his father as tight as he could. 

"Right. You focus on doing that" Mr. Jeon said, patting his back and pulling out of the hug. 

"Let's go and see him" he said. "Yeah, let's go" Seokjin said, wrapping an arm around Jungkook.
