Code Blue, My First Love

They say a Code Blue means the heart has stopped.

For Jungkook, it stopped eight years ago - the night Taehyung boarded a plane and told him not to wait.

Now Captain Jeon Jungkook runs into burning buildings without hesitation, fearless in the face of collapsing walls and rising smoke. He saves strangers for a living. But when the hospital's new cardiothoracic surgeon steps into his emergency room - calm, composed, and painfully familiar - Jungkook learns there are some rescues he never survived.

Dr. Kim Taehyung left to become extraordinary.
He returned to find the only person who ever mattered standing across from him in uniform - colder, stronger, and pretending they were never close.

Professional boundaries.
Family expectations.
Unspoken history.

Between sirens and surgical lights, between pride and regret, between the words they never said - their first love refuses to stay buried.

And this time, when the monitors start beeping and the past comes crashing back, neither of them can pretend their hearts aren't still beating for each other.

Because some Code Blues aren't medical emergencies.

Some are eight years overdue.
