“aghhh, I already told you it’s useless to find him here… Did you really think he would be here?”

The man in the black leather jacket rolled his eyes in frustration. A silver chain around his neck caught the light as he walked.

He was none other than Park Jimin.

“Who knows? Maybe he’s watching us from a distance, Park…”

The voice beside him carried the most sarcastic tone known to humankind.

None other than Jeon Jungkook.

“Jungkook, I already told you to stop believing every damn message we get…” Jimin said, glancing at him.

“Yeah, yeah… okay. Let’s go now.”

Jungkook shrugged and started walking ahead, completely ignoring Jimin.

Behind them, a group of men followed closely.

Their bodyguards.

Everything seemed normal.

Until—

BANG!

“JEON! GUYS, COVER!” Jimin shouted.

In the blink of an eye, Jungkook stumbled.

A bullet had struck his shoulder.

“Jungkook!”

He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

“Jungkook, are you okay?!”

Jimin rushed toward him, panic flashing across his face.

“Guys! Start the car! Let’s get out of here before anything else happens!”

The bodyguards immediately moved into action.

But before Jimin could pull Jungkook up, Jungkook grabbed his wrist.

“Ahh… Did you really think a bullet would kill me?” Jungkook muttered, a smirk tugging at his lips despite the pain. “Shibal… Tell them to go and find that fucking bastard.”

Hearing Jungkook's voice, several guards immediately rushed toward the direction the shot had come from.

Jimin helped Jungkook into the car and quickly got in beside him.

“Drive! Get us to Jeon Hospital, fast!”

The driver stepped on the accelerator.

The car sped away.

Inside, Jungkook leaned back against the seat and slowly closed his eyes.

He had a strange feeling.

As if he already knew…

Something was going to happen.

And yet—

He had come anyway.

....

At the Hospital…

The hospital, which had been completely silent just moments ago, suddenly became chaotic.

Doctors and nurses rushed through the corridors toward the emergency room. Everything seemed to be happening at once.

Jungkook was immediately taken into the operation theatre to treat his wound.

Hours passed.

Finally, the doors opened.

Jungkook was moved to a private room after the procedure.

……

“Ugh… finally, you woke up.”

Jimin’s sarcastic voice echoed through the room.

Jungkook slowly opened his eyes and looked at him.

He rolled his eyes.

“Did Taehyung come?” he asked, his voice filled with desperation.

But there was no answer.

Jungkook’s expression slowly fell.

“Uncle told me not to let you leave the hospital for a week,” Jimin finally said.

Jungkook immediately rolled his eyes again.

“Just for a bullet?”

“I don’t know. That’s what they said.”

Jimin shrugged before continuing.

“Yeah, they also said there’s a doctor in charge of taking care of you for this entire week. So make sure you behave like a good patient…”

He paused and looked at Jungkook seriously.

“…and don’t throw tantrums at her.”

“Her?”

Jungkook’s eyes widened.

“Yeah.” Jimin smirked. “We all know how you treat male doctors, so I guess you’re stuck with a female doctor this time.”

Jungkook was about to reply when—

Click.

The door suddenly opened.

A young woman in her late twenties walked into the room.

Jimin’s eyes immediately drifted toward her.

For a moment, he completely forgot what he was about to say.

One word crossed his mind.

Divine.

Jungkook noticed Jimin staring and immediately smirked.

“Close your mouth, or a house will fly into it.”

Jimin snapped back to reality and glared at him.

Before he could say anything, the woman stepped closer.

“Hello.”

Both men looked at her.

“My name is Shin Seo-ri, and I’ll be in charge of taking care of you this week.”

She gave a small bow.

“I’m a little late because of some circumstances, so I apologize for that.”

Jungkook stared at her silently.

Something about her presence felt strangely different.

And neither Jimin nor Jungkook knew it yet…

But this woman was about to change everything.
