Every year, Jungkook dreads it. Every year, the hyungs prepare for battle.
Jungkook, a middle schooler is absolutely terrified of anything medical. Needles, checkups, even the faintest whiff of antiseptic sends them into panic mode. But this year, his annual medical examination has been overdue for over two months, and there's no avoiding it.
The four hyungs-Jin, Namjoon, Yoongi, and Hoseok-are doctors, responsible for their dongsaengs health, and they know that if they give the maknae a heads-up, it's over. Kook will cry until he can't breathe, resist with every ounce of stubbornness he has.
So the hyungs hatch a plan: a carefully orchestrated, covert operation to get their terrified maknae into the hospital without him suspecting a thing. Gentle but firm, compassionate yet uncompromising-the hyungs will do whatever it takes to protect their little ones... even if it means facing hours of panicked screams, tears, and chaos along the way.
A story full of laughter, tension, and heartwarming sibling dynamics, The Reluctant Checkup explores the lengths we go to care for the ones we love, even when they fight us every step of the way.
