Boss Kim Loves Me { Taekook }
In hospital
The kitchen was a complete mess...grains of rice scattered across the counter, shrimp shells piled near the sink, and vegetable scraps carelessly thrown over the cabinet...
..
“Ugh…” let out a tired sigh, staring at the disaster he had created. “Why does cooking seafood always turn the entire kitchen into a mess?”
..
Never mind after coming back from the hospital I'll clean this.. Hyung must be hungry over there I'll pack his lunch and get going now...
..
I need to hurry…( muttered, quickly reaching for the container to fill the tiffin )
The moment his fingers touched the hot surface, he flinched back.
..
Ah—ouch!”
( He hissed in pain, clutching his hand before letting out a frustrated sigh )
Jeon Jungkook
What are you doing, Jungkook… ( he mumbled to himself )
After shaking off the burning pain, Jungkook quickly packed the lunch into the tiffin and grabbed his bag before leaving the house for the hospital...
The familiar smell of medicine filled Jungkook’s nose the moment he stepped inside the hospital.
He adjusted the tiffin in his hands and forced himself to smile before entering the room...
..
You’re late ( the person complained dramatically the second he saw him. )
Jeon Jungkook
( Jungkook rolled his eyes ) I cooked for you myself and this is how you greet me Minnie hyungie ??
Jeon Jungkook
Your name should be meany hyung instead of Minnie hyung 😤
Jeon Jimin
Jimin laughed softly, but the sound quickly turned into a cough.
Jeon Jungkook
(The smile on Kookie’s face faded for a second )😟
Jeon Jimin
( compose himself ) My name is neither one of them you know 🥱
Jeon Jungkook
( he smiled again ) Yeah yeah whatever
Jeon Jungkook
See I made your favorite ( he said quietly, placing the food on the table beside the bed )
Jeon Jungkook
Seafood Congee less salted since we also have to maintain your diet ( said while opening the tiffin )
Jeon Jimin
Mm ( could see how tired his brother was looking but could do nothing )
Jeon Jungkook
Say aa ( said while holding a spoon in front of him )
Jeon Jimin
( open his mouth to eat )
Jungkook quietly fed Jimin, acting as calm as he could while sitting beside him. But Jimin could see right through the composed smile his brother was forcing for his sake.
With tears slowly gathering in his eyes, Jimin silently finished his lunch.
Jeon Jungkook
Here ( said while giving his medicine )
Jeon Jimin
( eat them quietly )
Jeon Jungkook
Now rest hyung hmm 😊
Jeon Jimin
* that's what I've been doing for so long it's you who needs rest * ( thought while looking at Jungkook )
Jeon Jungkook
What happened hyung ??
Jeon Jimin
You won't leave right ??
Jeon Jungkook
I won't... I've off today at work
Jeon Jimin
( Nod and lay down )
Jeon Jungkook
( pats his head )
After making sure Jimin had fallen asleep, Jungkook quietly stepped out of the room to get a call..
Before he could walk away, a nurse approached him carefully.
Nurse
Mr. Jeon… doctor lee is asking for you...
Jeon Jungkook
( A strange feeling settled in Jungkook’s chest as he followed her down the quiet hallway )
Jeon Jungkook
(Takes a deep breath and gives her a nod )

One year
Jeon Jungkook
( Reached outside the doctor's cabin and knocked on the door )
Jeon Jungkook
( Enter the cabin )
Jeon Jungkook
Doctor lee you called me is everything okay ??
Lee Jung suk
( sigh ) first take the seat Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
( noded and took a seat )
Lee Jung suk
( let out another heavy sigh before placing the medical reports on the table )
Lee Jung suk
Jimin's medical report
Lee Jung suk
Jimin’s condition is getting worse Jungkook
Jeon Jungkook
( Jungkook’s hands slowly tightened )
Lee Jung suk
There’s still a chance if we proceed with the surgery immediately, ( he continued softly ) But without it…
The room suddenly felt suffocating.
Jeon Jungkook
Without it ?!!
Lee Jung suk
Without it he doesn't have much time..
Jeon Jungkook
How long does he have? ( Jungkook asked, his voice barely above a whisper )
Lee Jung suk
( He hesitated )…About a year.
Silence filled the room...
Jungkook stared blankly at the reports in front of him, unable to process the words he had just heard.
One year.
His brother only had one year left....
Jeon Jungkook
( take a deep breath )
Jeon Jungkook
T..thank you doctor i.. I'll take my leave now..
Jeon Jungkook
( Bows and leave the cabin )
Jungkook stared blankly at the reports in front of him, unable to process the words he had just heard.
One year.
His brother only had one year left.
Jeon Jungkook
Only one year ( barely whispered )
His legs felt strangely heavy as he walked through the crowded hospital hallway. Nurses passed by him. Patients talked quietly. Somewhere nearby, a child laughed.
But everything sounded distant.
The surgery was Jimin’s only chance.
And Jungkook already knew he could never afford it.
Jeon Jungkook
(Slowly, he lowered his gaze to the paper clenched tightly in his hand.
The estimated surgery cost printed on it made his chest tighten.)
Jeon Jungkook
25 million won is the cost of my hyung's life ( gulp and close his eyes )
Jungkook forced himself to take a deep breath and looked at the paper again, hoping the numbers would somehow change.
They didn’t.
Jeon Jungkook
( A bitter laugh almost escaped his lips )
Jeon Jungkook
Even if I worked day and night without resting, it still wouldn’t be enough.
Jeon Jungkook
( He quickly unlocked his phone and opened his banking app..)
His remaining balance stared back at him mockingly.
After paying the hospital bills, rent, medicines, and groceries… there was barely anything left.
Jeon Jungkook
( Jungkook pressed his fingers against his forehead tiredly. )
Jeon Jungkook
Think, ( he whispered to himself ) There has to be a way...
His mind immediately began searching for possibilities.
More shifts. Another part-time job. Selling the apartment. Borrowing money.
Anything.
Because giving up on Jimin was never an option...

Insurance..??
Jeon Jungkook
I should go home and check Hyung’s medical insurance papers, ( Jungkook muttered to himself, quickly standing up ) Maybe there’s still some money left…
Without wasting another second, Jungkook shoved his phone back into his pocket and hurried out of the hospital..
Clinging to that small piece of hope, Jungkook quickened his pace.
By the time he reached home, he was already out of breath...
Jeon Jungkook
( He immediately dropped his bag near the couch and rushed toward the bedroom, opening drawers one after another in search of the documents )
Jeon Jungkook
Come on… where did I put them… ( he muttered anxiously )
After several minutes of searching, his trembling hands finally found the familiar file hidden beneath a pile of old papers.
Relief flashed across his face for a brief moment.
Quickly, he opened the file and began reading through the insurance details carefully.
But the deeper he read, the paler his face became.
Jeon Jungkook
Only one million won left… ( Jungkook whispered in disbelief, his eyes frozen on the papers spread across the floor )
Jeon Jungkook
(He let out a shaky breath and ran a tired hand through his hair.)
Jeon Jungkook
There’s still twenty-four million more to arrange…
The number alone made his chest feel heavy.
And the worst part—
Even this remaining one million would disappear once he paid the pending hospital bills
Jeon Jungkook
( Jungkook slowly leaned back against the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling )
For the first time in a long while, fear began creeping into him.
Real fear.
What if he really couldn’t save Jimin?
The thought alone made his throat tighten painfully.
Jeon Jungkook
No… ( he muttered quickly, shaking his head as if trying to force the thought away ) I’ll find a way somehow..
His voice sounded weak even to himself
Just then, the sound of a notification broke the silence inside the apartment.
Jungkook blinked and looked toward the nearby table where Jimin’s phone screen had suddenly lit up.
Jeon Jungkook
( frown ) how come hyung's phone is here...
Jeon Jungkook
Oh I forgot ( slap his forehead lightly ) hyung only gave it to me last night to charge but I forgot and took his phone over here..
Jeon Jungkook
I'll charge it now and return him tonight ( got up to charge the phone )
Jeon Jungkook
( Jungkook switch on the button and was about to keep the phone but the notification caught his attention and stared silently at the screen )
Jeon Jungkook
( His hands slowly curled into fists )
Jeon Jungkook
What… is this?
