Beyond First Impressions
The dim light from the bedside lamp bathed the room in a soft glow, but Taehyung felt nothing but cold. He sat on the couch, hands clasped tightly together, gaze fixed on the floor as if searching for answers. Across from him, Jimin observed in silence, worry etched across his face, waiting for Taehyung to speak.
Jimin
Tae, you said something happened today. What was it?
Taehyung exhaled unsteadily, raising a hand to his temples as if trying to ease the storm of thoughts in his mind.
Kim Taehyung
Hyun… his condition worsened today. I thought—I thought I was going to lose him, Jimin.
*His voice cracked*
He was struggling so much to breathe… I could do nothing but watch and beg for help.
Jimin’s chest tightened. He reached out, placing a comforting hand over Taehyung’s.
Jimin
But he's okay now, right?
Taehyung nodded, but he remained distant.
Kim Taehyung
Yeah… thanks to the doctors. But today, I met someone. A kind-hearted man. He helped me a lot.
Jimin
*Tilted his head* Who?
Kim Taehyung
I don't know him but.....
Taehyung hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Kim Taehyung
When I reached the hospital, the doctors took Hyun inside immediately. I was left outside, feeling helpless. Then... I noticed him sitting there, right outside the corridor of the doctor's room. Or rather, he noticed me first.
Kim Taehyung
At first, I ignored him, but he didn’t leave. He sat beside me, trying to talk. He asked if something serious had happened, and for some reason… I answered him.
Kim Taehyung
Later, when the doctor was about to give Hyun an injection, he started crying uncontrollably. I tried everything to calm him down, but nothing worked. Then, that man—he took Hyun in his arms. And suddenly, Hyun stopped crying. The doctor was able to give the injection without trouble, and after that... Hyun fell asleep in his arms.
Jimin frowned slightly, confusion flashing across his face.
Jimin
That’s strange… as far as I know, Hyun doesn’t like outsiders.
Jimin
*smiled slightly* But it's a good thing you met someone who helped you.
Taehyung’s brows furrowed as he replayed the moment in his head.
Kim Taehyung
He was different, Jimin. When I told him about Hyun’s condition, he looked… hurt. Like my pain affected him in some way. And his voice... it felt oddly familiar.
Jimin
Have you asked his name?
Kim Taehyung
No… but his friend—some girl—mentioned that he was the son of the hospital owner. Also, the doctor called him Mr. Jeon.
Jimin
*Eyes widened slightly*
💭 Son of the Hospital owner? Mr. Jeon?
Jimin
Which hospital did you go to?
Kim Taehyung
XXX Hospital.
Jimin
That hospital belongs to Jeon Namjoon.
Kim Taehyung
You know him?
Jimin
Of course. He’s a well-respected businessman—strict, disciplined, and self-made despite being born into wealth. He’s highly admired in the corporate world.
Jimin paused for a moment before his expression shifted.
Jimin
But you met his son? Also, he is kind-hearted? That’s surprising.
Kim Taehyung
*Blinked* Why?
Jimin
Because Jeon Jungkook is nothing like his father.
Kim Taehyung
Yeah, yeah that girl was calling him by this name.
Jimin
He’s reckless, spoiled, and completely uninterested in his father’s business. Always in the news for fights, bike races, and scandals.
Kim Taehyung
*Frowned* That doesn’t match the person I met today.
Jimin
*Smirked* Maybe he was trying to impress you?
Taehyung shot him a look.
Kim Taehyung
He was injured himself, yet he took care of Hyun.
Jimin
Injured? What happened?
Kim Taehyung
He said it was an accident.
Jimin
*scoffed* See? Classic Jungkook behavior..
Taehyung sighed, rubbing his temples.
Kim Taehyung
I don’t even know him Jimin, but… why do I feel like I’ve met him before?
Jimin
Maybe you’ve seen him on TV or in the news?
Kim Taehyung
Maybe… but I owe him a lot. If it weren’t for him, I don’t know how I would’ve managed today.
Jimin studied Taehyung for a moment but didn’t push further. Instead, he stretched and stood up.
Jimin
Alright, enough thinking for today. You’ve had a rough day. Get some rest. I have work tomorrow, and so do you.
Taehyung hummed in response, but his mind was still tangled in thoughts as Jimin walked to his room.
Meanwhile at the Jeon mansion.....
