“HERE BEGINS A STORY STITCHED WITH HEARTBEATS AND SILENCE. WELCOME.”

✨✨

✨

The hospital beds were drenched in silence. Even the air seemed afraid to move. Long corridors stretched like frozen veins—white, cold, endless. Outside the ICU, families huddled close together, faces etched with fear and exhaustion. Their prayers were unspoken but heavy in the air. Every eye fixed on the boy inside. Every whispered breath carried the same plea:

PLEASE, LET HIM LIVE.✨

Near the glass door of the ICU, a man stood perfectly still. His gaze was fixed on the boy lying beneath a tangle of tubes and monitors.

Once, his face had been full of laughter, mischievous, teasing, charming everyone around him.

Now, the face beneath the oxygen mask was pale, fragile, almost unrecognizable. Wires coiled around the small frame like vines, humming machines tracking every breath, every heartbeat.

Every beat of that heart was a lifeline. Every heartbeat echoed into the man’s hollow chest, pulling him closer, binding him in silence and obsession. Fast tears hovered behind his eyes, threatening to fall, but he would not let them. He could only watch, only wait, only pray to the fragile rhythm that kept the boy alive.

DOCTOR

Mr. Vincent,

The doctor called, his voice calm but serious. The man’s head snapped toward the sound. His eyes, once warm and sparkling at the sight of the one he loved, were now cold, empty—hiding fast tears that never fell. The lips that had always curled into a mischievous, teasing smile were pressed tight, emotion erased, replaced with a mask of control.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

How… how is he?

Vincent asked, voice low, controlled, betraying nothing. The doctor stepped closer, glancing at the monitor.

DOCTOR

“He’s stable, but the situation is delicate. The transplantation was successful, but his body is adjusting. He’s in a medically induced coma to prevent shock and reduce cardiac stress. Any sudden stimulus could destabilize the heart, cause arrhythmia, or even cardiac arrest.

DOCTOR

We are monitoring oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate continuously. Immunosuppressants have been administered to prevent rejection, and we are closely observing liver and kidney functions. Complications are always possible, but for now… he is stable. He will be okay if we maintain this careful monitoring.

Vincent nodded, stiff, unreadable. His jaw was tight, hands clenched at his sides. The mask of emotion he wore was complete. No warmth, no spark, no smile. Only eyes—cold, calculating, yet haunted by something only he could feel.

Fast tears threatened behind his lids, but he did not let them fall. He could not. He could only stare, only cling, only follow the rhythm of the small green line on the monitor.

Slowly, he turned back to the ICU room. His eyes did not leave the boy’s chest, rising and falling with each fragile breath. His gaze locked on the blinking monitor, every twitch, every beat, every tiny movement of the chest a prayer, a plea.

The families outside continued their quiet vigil, leaning close to one another, murmuring hopes and whispered prayers. Every sigh, every tear, every whispered plea carried the same desperate demand:

PLEASE, LET THE HEARTBEAT STAY.

Vincent did not move. He did not speak. He only watched.

The boy’s chest rose and fell, steady, stubborn, alive.

The heartbeat—the only thing that mattered—was the fragile thread he clung to, the one thing he could still hold in a world of chaos

CHAPTER 2 COLLISION OF FATES

✨✨

The ICU room was drenched in silence, broken only by the steady, mechanical beeping of the monitor. Each pulse, each small flicker of light, reminded Vincent that he was still holding on.

Two months had passed since the accident, two months of endless waiting, watching, praying.

The fragile body on the bed had not stirred—not a twitch, not a breath beyond the machines, not a whisper of life.

Vincent sat rigid in the chair beside him, eyes locked on the chest that rose and fell in fragile rhythm. Every heartbeat was a tether, a fragile thread binding him to the impossible hope that this small, stubborn pulse could somehow survive.

His hands rested on his knees, clenched tightly, nails digging into his palms. He had not moved from this spot for hours, sometimes days, letting the world pass by while he remained a silent guardian.

✨✨✨

For a single second, Vincent closed his eyes, letting the memories claw their way to the surface.

Two months of fear, two months of sleepless nights, of heartbeat clinging to life, all buried under a shell of control.

The black car sliced through the night, silent except for the hum of the engine. Beside him, Thomas sat upright, sharp eyes tracking every number, every deal, every detail.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Germany project is finalised. The investors have approved the second phase of the mall construction. I’ve scheduled the site visit in three weeks,

Thomas reported, voice precise, clipped.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Also, the industrial contract for the new plant in Rotterdam—

Vincent didn’t glance at him, eyes fixed on the passing street lights

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

Confirm the board’s availability first. I don’t attend a meeting without full control. Any deviation, Thomas, and we cancel.

Thomas nodded, unfazed.

The conversation continued, ten points of business threaded tightly, each sharp, each precise, but the air between them heavy, disciplined, controlled.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Also, the Berlin deal—

Just as he was about to finish, the car lurched to a sudden stop. The driver’s eyes widened in alarm, hands slamming the brakes, narrowly missing the edge of Thomas’s head. The world jolted violently, hearts skipping a beat in the sudden chaos.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Goddamn it!

Thomas shouted, gripping his seat.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

What the hell are you doing?

The driver’s hands trembled on the wheel.

DRIVER

Sir… a bike… it just—appeared in front of us. I had to brake!

Through the windshield, Thomas saw the bike tipped on its side. A young man crouched over it, hands fumbling to lift it,

Vincent’s sharp voice cut through the tension.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

Check it.

His voice was low but edged with fire.

Thomas stepped out of the black car, jaw tight, eyes sharp as he approached the young man struggling to lift the fallen bike under the weak streetlights.

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Hey! (Thomas called, his tone clipped.) Are you alright? What the hell were you thinking, coming out in front of a moving car like that?

The young man looked up slowly, removed his helmet, and fixed him with a fierce glare.

？？？

Are you kidding me? Do you even know what you’re doing? Have you ever thought about looking where you drive? Or do you just enjoy nearly killing people for fun?

Thomas flinched, but straightened his posture, voice rising

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

Excuse me? Have you ever thought about the fact that you just came out in front of a car? In the middle of the road? Who’s supposed to be careful, huh? You?

The young man laughed—a short, sharp sound, half mocking, half exasperated.

？？？

You’re serious? Me? You were flying down the street like a maniac! Have you ever heard of brakes before? Or maybe driving straight?

Thomas exhaled, furious, his face reddening

THOMAS (VINCENT PA)

I don’t know if you’re crazy or just reckless, but this is dangerous! You come in front of my car, nearly get yourself killed, and you have the audacity to shout at me?

The young man’s eyes sparkled dangerously under the streetlight, lips pressed tight for a second before curling in a furious grin

？？？

Do you think I care? Or do you think you’re untouchable, controlling everything in your car? Watch carefully, because I’m standing right here, alive, and it’s all because I saw you coming!

Every word cut through the night, charged, angry, bold. Each second escalated the tension, neither willing to back down, neither ready to admit fault. Then, from the edge of the street, the night shifted. A presence so cold and so commanding that even the heated air seemed to still itself. Vincent stepped out of the car, the world around him dimming slightly in comparison to his aura.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

Enough.

His voice was sharp, dark, low—a blade through the argument.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

What’s the problem?

The young man froze mid-breath, eyes flicking to the man standing tall and composed, dark aura radiating, the streetlight catching the sharp contours of his face. Broad shoulders, perfect posture, Greek-god features—but it was the eyes that caught Jungkook. Cold, commanding, impossibly powerful.

He slowly removed his helmet fully

Wet hair from sweat fell in strands across his forehead. Sparkling eyes, fierce yet irresistibly alive. A face both sharp and soft, lips slightly parted, cheeks flushed from the argument, hands gripping the bike with tension, hair tied back in a ponytail, strands rebelliously framing his face.

Vincent felt the world pause, as if time itself had bowed down. The face before him—striking, magnetic—hung in the air like the moon stepping out of the night, familiar yet impossibly distant, stopping him in his tracks

✨✨✨✨

✨✨✨

✨

Vincent suddenly opened his eyes, the buried memories collapsing behind him. Reality hit like ice—harsh, cold. The steady beep of the monitor had changed, faster now, erratic. His chest tightened, eyes snapping toward the bed.

The person on the ICU bed twitched, small movements at first, then a faint shudder running through the fragile frame. Panic clawed at Vincent’s chest. He didn’t think, didn’t hesitate. He called out sharply, voice cutting through the tense air

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

DOCTOR!!!!

Within seconds, the door burst open. Nurses and doctors rushed in, voices overlapping, machines beeping louder, the metallic scent of urgency filling the room.

The person on the bed shook again, covered with wires, oxygen mask barely hiding the pale face, a body caught between sleep and the sudden force of life returning.

Vincent backed away, unable to move closer. He stood outside the ICU, heart clenched so tightly it hurt, nails digging into his palms until the skin broke and blood painted his fingers a vivid red. His vision blurred with tension, his gaze flitting between the chaos inside and the faces of the medical staff as they moved in precise, calculated motions.

He wanted answers. He wanted someone to explain. But no words came. He just stood there, rigid, still, a living statue of dread and helplessness. Time stretched, minutes dragging, every heartbeat of the monitor echoing into his mind like a drum.

After a long moment, the doctor stepped forward, calm but serious. He adjusted his mask and looked directly at Vincent

DOCTOR

Mr. Vincent,( he began, voice steady,) he’s responding. The body has successfully adjusted after the heart transplantation. The coma was medically induced to prevent shock and give the heart time to stabilize. He’s still asleep now, but in about three hours, we expect him to wake up. This is normal. The vital signs are strong, the heart is stable, and the body is showing positive signs of recovery.

Vincent didn’t speak. He only stood there, eyes fixed on the ICU room. His chest rose and fell slowly, matching the steady rhythm of the monitor’s green line.

For the first time in months, a small thread of calm threaded through his tension. The heartbeat—steady, unyielding, alive—echoed through the room and into the hollow space inside him.

✨✨✨🫠

A quiet relief washed over him, almost imperceptible, as if he were finally allowed to breathe. He didn’t move, didn’t speak—he only stayed there, standing guard over that fragile heartbeat, letting the stability sink into his body. For now, that small, steady rhythm was enough.

“ECHOES OF A FORGOTTEN PULSE”

✨✨✨

✨✨

“Justy… hey, wake up, bun—”

A soft laugh.

Then another voice, brighter, teasing.

“Who gave you permission to flirt with my boyfriend, huh?”

Laughter again, overlapping with wind and a distant hum of traffic.

“Why are you always on that damn bike? Can’t you just come in the car for once?”

A pause. Then a scream—sharp, tearing, human. Tires screech. Metal breaks. Silence.

And then—he woke.

The world crashed into him like a wave of light. His chest rose sharply, lungs dragging in air as though he’d forgotten how to breathe. Everything was blinding—too white, too loud, too still. He shut his eyes again, trembling, heartbeat racing as if still running from something.

A second later, he opened them slowly. The ceiling above him was sterile white, cold and endless. His head felt heavy, the world shifting in pieces he couldn’t fit together. A face leaned into view—blurred at first, then slowly sharpening into focus.

A man. Casual clothes. Perfectly composed posture. Eyes that looked like they had forgotten what rest meant.

Cold. Sharp. But behind them—worry, fear, exhaustion, something painfully human. He was staring at him like a man clinging to the last thread of hope.

The young man blinked, his throat dry, his mind a hollow fog. He didn’t know where he was. Didn’t know who this person was. And worse— ✨DIDN’T EVEN KNOW WHO HE HIMSELF WAS.✨

The room was silent except for the rhythm of machines and the faint hum of his heartbeat on a monitor. That sound tethered him—proof he was alive, even when everything else felt dead. A strange emptiness spread in his chest, like he was missing something he should remember, something important, someone… important.

He swallowed hard, eyes shifting toward the man again. The man didn’t speak. He only looked at him, the pain in his eyes so deep it felt sacred. And in that moment, the young man felt something unexplainable— a connection, a pull, a weight of emotion that didn’t belong to a stranger. But his mind was blank. And his heart was lost.

✨✨✨✨

It had been three hours since the accident turned into survival. Three hours since a silent heart began to beat again under someone else’s chest. The room was still — still enough that even the air felt careful. Machines murmured in rhythm, repeating the same fragile song: alive… alive… alive… Each beep echoed like the world reminding itself that it had not lost him — not yet.

Doctors came and went in hushed movements. Every step, every note they scribbled carried the weight of something uncertain. Behind the glass, Vincent stood motionless. His reflection in the window was pale, ghostlike — a man carved from waiting.

When the doctor finally removed his gloves, the sound was too soft for what he had to say

DOCTOR

the surgery was a success. The new heart is functioning well — stable rhythm, no sign of rejection so far. But…

He hesitated. Vincent’s eyes narrowed

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

But what?

The doctor sighed, pressing the bridge of his nose.

DOCTOR

We ran neurological evaluations. It appears he’s suffering from post-traumatic amnesia. His brain isn’t recalling any personal memories — , not his relationships, not his past.not even himself.

Vincent’s breath caught.

The words floated in the air like smoke. Vincent’s gaze shifted toward the boy lying under white sheets — eyes open, empty, searching the room like it belonged to another world.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

He doesn’t remember anything?

DOCTOR

From what we can see, the accident caused a severe shock to his head before the cardiac collapse. The combination of trauma and heart transplantation can confuse the brain’s recovery pattern. It’s… not unusual in cases like this.

Vincent swallowed, trying to make sense of the words that felt too big, too heavy.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

Can he recover?

DOCTOR

There’s a possibility,( the doctor replied,)but it’s unpredictable. We can try psychological rehabilitation, slow memory exposure — familiar faces, scents, voices. But we must be cautious

Vincent frowned.

KIM VINCENT (ENIGMA )

Cautious?

The doctor’s expression turned grave.

DOCTOR

His new heart isn’t fully synchronized yet.. Any emotional stress — panic, fear, or even a sudden memory flash — could strain his new heart. It’s still adapting to his body. If the trauma that caused his collapse resurfaces too quickly, it could lead to arrhythmia, or worse— cardiac arrest.

DOCTOR

You must let him remember slowly, naturally. Until then, keep him calm. No shocks, no old stories, no pressure. Just… let him breathe.

Silence spread through the corridor like fog.

Vincent looked down, his jaw tightening. He didn’t speak. He couldn’t. All he could hear was the sound behind the glass — that soft, rhythmic pulse that seemed to whisper the price of existence.

He had seen many lives fall apart — heard many heartbeats fade under the weight of violence, betrayal, and war. But this… this fragile rhythm was different. It demanded something quieter than protection, deeper than loyalty.

He placed a hand over his own chest — not out of emotion, but out of instinct — feeling his own pulse answer the one inside the room. If the world had given that heart a second chance, it was his responsibility to keep it steady.

Whatever it takes — the heartbeat must not stop again.

Inside, the boy blinked at the ceiling, unaware of the promise that was just made for him.
