Better Together (Taegguk)
20
It felt like the world had frozen around him.
Taehyung sat on the cold hospital bench, his arms wrapped protectively around Minseo.
Who slept peacefully, blissfully unaware of the chaos that swirled around them.
Her tiny fingers clung to his shirt, her breathing soft, Beside him, Mina sat, her tear-streaked face etched with confusion.
Mina
Uncle Tae... When will Mom and Dad come back? Are they going to be okay?
He tried to keep his voice steady, tried to hide the fear that gnawed at him from the inside.
Kim Taehyung
(whispering, stroking her hair) Soon, Mina... They’re still with the doctors, but... they’re strong. They’ll be okay.
But even as he said the words, he could feel the weight of his own doubt.
He held Minseo closer, her small body warm against him.
The minutes dragged on like hours. The sterile scent of the hospital, the hushed voices of family members around him.
His mother and Mrs. Jeon crying together, all blurred into the background.
His thoughts were interrupted by the sudden sound of footsteps approaching. The doctor.
Taehyung’s heart leaped into his throat as he looked up, hope and dread warring inside him.
The doctor’s face was grim.
Everyone seemed to hold their breath, the air thick with anticipation. Taehyung clutched Minseo tighter.
He didn’t want to hear it.
He didn’t want to face whatever was coming next. But there was no escape.
Doctor: (gently)I’m sorry... we did everything we could. Taeyeon... she didn’t make it.
The words hit Taehyung like a physical blow, stealing the breath from his lungs.
The world tilting on its axis. He stared at the doctor, unable to process what he had just heard.
Taeyeon... his sister... gone?
Doctor : Mingyu... is still critical. He’s fighting, but the next few hours will be crucial. We’ll do our best, but the chances are slim.
Taehyung’s mother let out a wail, the sound of her grief piercing the silence. Even Mr. Jeon, usually so composed, had tears streaming down his face as he pulled his wife closer, his stoic façade shattered.

Both families are good. Living a simple life with some high and lows. But this is such a big blow for them. Everything feels so real. I feel like it's getting connected with the real world
