Strings of Love: Taekook
Author: Midnight Rain
Kim Taehyung.
The most feared mob boss South Korea had ever seen. Even just one mention of his name could give any person of the continent a chill through their spine. But that guy, he was just a goner for his beloved husband, Jungkook.. Everybody feared him, but he feared his husband.
Kim Jungkook, a renowned neurosurgeon of Seoul National Hospital, was a man of dual personalities. He was a complete cold a/ss person in his work hours, while just a cute little bean in his off work.
Never had once, he failed any of his surgeries. Saving lives wasn't just a passion for him, it was a dream for doing something for somebody else..
Didn't know when or how their love story started.. but this love between people of two complete different dimensions was flourishing nevertheless and there wasn't even a sign of its going down.
•••••
Bullets being shot at one another, boots clacking in the muddy water of mid July, it wasn't a scene Kim Taehyung wasn't used to. He had experienced this half of his life, since before the time he took over the mafia after his father's death.
But the one thing that caught him off-guard was the sniper hidden on the topmost floor of the deserted building. The Kim's were always on the edge with the Narukos.. and a dirty meeting wasn't doing any good to the both of them. Both were in the mindset of finishing the other when a bullet fled through the air and straight into Taehyung's shoulder.. piercing it ever so roughly.
Every person on the Kim's shot their eyes to the sky to look for the sniper while some of them went over to where Taehyung was standing to give him a helping hand. But Taehyung being Taehyung, stubborn as f/ck, denied every single one of them and told them to get their a/sses back to work.
Only one person on the gang was capable of dragging Taehyung back to the car.. Park Jimin, his soulmate since diapers.
"OMG Tae we gotta get you to the hospital fast!" Jimin's face was panic-stricken.. he knew he should keep his calm in a moment like this but seeing dark red blood flowing out of his best friend's arm was something he wasn't used to seeing.
Taehyung always tried to be careful so as to not get himself hurt during a fight because his husband hates seeing him injured.. Jungkook was capable of doing every single surgery related to his field of expertise and never shed a tear, but Taehyung was a different case for him.
Seeing Taehyung covered in blood with a rip through his muscles or a bullet in his hands made his whole body numb.. he couldn't focus himself when the love of his life laid in the Operation Theatre passed out cause of anesthesia.
Taehyung had promised Jungkook last time he got hurt, that he'd never get himself injuries like this again.. Yet, here he was.. sitting in his Range Rover being driven to Seoul National Hospital to get himself treated..
"Nooo!! Jimin I'm fine!! Please don't take me to him!" Taehyung literally begged his bestfriend to not take him to his devil husband, but all in vain.
"Wtf Tae?! Jungkook's not gonna eat you or something! We have to get you treated before the wound gets too much infected!" Jimin argued back.
"Oh you haven't seen the devil in him.. please just take me to your home and keep me there until I recover.. please Jiminie please" Tae clasped his both hands together while Jimin gave him a "wtf" look again.
"Aishhh!! At least get me to a flower shop first then.!!"
"Why flower shop? You're bleeding Tae! And the thing you're worrying about is your husband getting mad at you!"
"Please Jimin!! It's the only way to save my life!! Pleaseeeee!! Look there's a flower shop!!" Tae pointed to the corner of the road while opening the car door, not even waiting for the driver to pull over.
The atmosphere of the once lively flower shop died down as Kim Taehyung, with a bloody hand, made his way into the store looking for some beautiful tiger lilies. They paid the poor florist the money and went back into the car, while Tae was clutching on the flowers for his dear life.

Slumping down on Jimin, Tae entered the hospital still with the flowers in his hands..
Even the hospital staff got scared for a moment but just rolled their eyes and formed a circle around to see the upcoming drama :)
One of the new interns, Yeonjun, looked confused as to why none of the people was helping the poor man who clearly had a bullet wound.. so he asked his senior, Hoseok who was standing beside him.
"Hyung...? Why isn't anyone helping him..? That's a bullet wound, right?" Yeonjun asked worriedly looking over to the elder.
"Have you even graduated med school? -_-" Of course it's a bullet wound. Nobody is helping him cause he's Dr. Kim Jungkook's patient.." Hoseok asked while shaking his head, as if it's a normal drama.
"B-but.. he's gonna faint any time if not treated now!" Yeonjun was about to make his way to Taehyung when his hand was held back by another senior doctor, Kim Seokjin.
"Little guy, nobody is allowed to touch Kim Taehyung wasn't except for his husband. You better not meddle into their business." Seokjin warned the poor guy, not intending to scare him.
Just then, a pair of rushed footsteps were heard from the staircase around the corner as a scared looking Jungkook came upto the front. But all his scared look turned into complete annoyance when he saw his husband there, holding tiger lilies in his one hand, and pressing onto his wound with the other..
"Kim. Tae. Hyung." Just those three words from his beloved's mouth were enough to scare Tae to his guts.
"Baby..!!" Taehyung tried smiling but seeing his baby angry really did things to him.
"What was the one thing I told you not to do..?" Jungkook asked sassily while folding his hands and eyeing his husband.
"G-get s-shot.." Taehyung feebly blurted out.
"And what did you do?" Jungkook raised a brow at him.
"Got shot..." Tae kept his head down for a second and then shot it up again as he remembered the flowers he got for his husband.
"Babe! Look what I got you!" Taehyung cutely showed the tiger lilies to Jungkook, forgetting all about his pain.
Jungkook internally cooed at his husband's cute tactics, but still showed his poker face.
"First getting shot.. and then coming here with flowers in your hands! Kim, what do you even take me for?! Don't you know how much it hurts me to operate on you?! I never opposed your work but just asked you to stay safe! But look at you now.. I wanna cry so badly but I can't.. not right now..." At the end of his words, Jungkook felt all his anger drowning away, being replaced by pure worry.
"K-Kookie.." Taehyung stumbled a little on making his way to his husband because of excess blood loss. Jungkook immediately got upto his side, careful not to hurt his wound again..
"What are y'all lookin at?! Get me a stretcher fast! Are you guys seeing wounds for the first time?!!" Jungkook angrily blurted to the staff who were busy enjoying the drama and then placed Tae on the stretcher, getting him to the OT.

After the surgery, Taehyung was still laying unconscious by the effect of anesthesia as Jungkook made his way into the hospital room. Jimin was beside him, holding onto his hand and massaging it gently.
He looked up to see Tae's husband smiling brightly at him.
"You did nice work Jungkook.." Jimin walked over to the surgeon and gave him a tight hug. Jungkook hugged him back while glancing over to Tae.
"He's my responsibility.." He smiled as slight tears made their way out of his eyes seeing Tae's bruises.
Jimin broke the hug and cupped the younger's face.
"You know, Tae was so scared to come here even after getting shot because he feared he'd lose you one day, if he kept on showing up like this again.. But looking at you now, I know you're really the best thing that has ever happened to him.. and i know you're never gonna leave his hand in any condition.."
"Of course I won't hyung.." Jungkook smiled lightly at him. Jimin excused himself from the room to give the couple some privacy.
After a little while, Tae slowly started opening up his eyes, adjusting to the warm sunlight coming through the white hospital curtains.. He felt something heavy on his hand, so he attempted to look down, and found his lovely husband sleeping lightly by his side.
Jungkook really did stay up half the night to do Taehyung's surgery and the other half, he couldn't sleep because of worry for him.
Taehyung caressed his hairs ever so gently, moving his long fingers through Jungkook's soft locks.
And being the not-so-sound sleeper that he was, Jungkook woke up just to see his husband smiling lovingly at him.
And.... that was it for him! His tears just started streaming down his face without a single word as he looked into Tae's eyes.
"B-baby..? Please don't cry.. you know how much i hate seeing tears in your eyes!" Taehyung raised up his hand to wipe off the tears from his face.
"Promise me you won't make me do this again.. Promise me you'll take care of yourself... Please.." Jungkook's words held so much emotions at once that Taehyung couldn't help but thank the alignment of the universe to get them together.
"I promise, my love.. I promise.."
And just like that, Jungkook and Taehyung slept in each other's embrace cherishing the moments that they were having together..

Another day, another mission.
Lee Soobin, a new member of the Kim's was on a not-so-deadly mission. It was just his 3rd week being on the real underground world still he was having a second opportunity to work with the King himself.
Taehyung never believed that experience was everything in his field of work.. he saw potential in the kid and instantly put him in his team. And he so did not make a mistake as Soobin was actually so good!
Just as they thought everything was going to come to an end, a range of bullets were fired through their direction by the opposite gang. As Taehyung took his cover, a bullet pierced through his thigh muscles making him groan in pain.
AND Taehyung's face was like he just saw a snake.. He couldn't form words as his mind flew back to his lovely husband who could be a devil when kept untamed.
Soobin saw Taehyung's condition and immediately got over to him, checking for any major injury. But what surprised him was.. his boss's pale face.
"B-boss it's okay.. it's not that deep and the bone is not harmed at all.."
"Omg I am so dead today.. nothing can save me now..." Taehyung whined while dropping his gun on the ground and burying his head in his legs.
"B-boss what are you s-saying.." seeing THE great Kim Taehyung fearing for a small wound was something he didn't expect to see.. so he got a little tensed up with the situation himself.
"My husband's gonna kill me!!" Taehyung cried out loud, getting his phone to call Jimin.
And Soobin, he just stayed there with his mind complete blank thinking..
"The most ruthless Mafia is scared of his husband..?"
