episode 6
"Time skip: One week later."
Over the course of the week, Jungkook regained his health, and Taehyung stayed by his side, never going home. Hoseok, however, would occasionally go home.
After Jungkook became healthy, they were discharged from the hospital. As they stepped outside, they saw the horse cart waiting for them, which was arranged by Hoseok.
After seeing the cart, Taehyung was mesmerized, as he had never seen this kind of horse cart before. In modern times, these kinds of carts had become extinct.
Taehyung
"That's why people say the ancient era is a golden era",he thought Seeing the surroundings with keen interest
As Taehyung was admiring the surroundings, Hoseok said...
hoseok
"In this cart, only two people can sit, so you both sit inside. I will sit with the Cartman," he said, and then sat beside the Cartman.
"With that, both Taehyung and Jungkook sat inside, leaving a gap between them."
Jungkook
During the journey, Jungkook's mind kept circling back to the nurse's words, their echo intertwining with the rhythmic clatter of the horse cart's wheels. The uncertainty of what lay ahead weighed heavily on his heart, yet he couldn't shake the sense that he stood on the brink of something life-changing.
Taehyung
"Jungkook, you stay here. I'm going outside to get food. Hoseok is not coming today, okay?"
Taehyung went to get food, leaving Jungkook behind. Jungkook stared outside the window, watching birds chirping and feeling a sense of calm wash over him. The cool breeze brushed against his skin, bringing a fleeting moment of tranquility. He closed his eyes, allowing himself to be enveloped by the gentle song of the birds and the soothing embrace of the cold air. In that quiet moment, all his worries seemed to fade away.
At that moment, a nurse came to check on him. After finishing, the nurse was about to leave when Jungkook asked.
Jungkook
"Can I ask you something?"
nurse
"Is there any problem, sir? Are you feeling any pain or discomfort?"
Jungkook
"No, nothing like that. I want to ask something else."
Jungkook
"Do you perhaps know Crown Prince JK?" he asked.
nurse
Oh, Crown Prince JK! Who doesn't know about him?" the nurse exclaimed with admiration in her voice. "He was a great prince, and you can see his achievements proudly displayed in the library. You know what? After his tragic death, his uncle took it upon himself to restore the kingdom. In honor of the late Crown Prince JK, he changed the kingdom's name from Eldoria to Euphoria. Her eyes glistened with respect and a touch of sadness as she spoke.
nurse
"It all happened five centuries ago, but we still have him in our memories. He was such a great person. And you know what matters? He wasn't even a king, but a prince. What if he had become king? He would have been the greatest of the greatest kings. But it's sad that he was killed by his father."
As nurse said all this, Jungkook felt as if the ground beneath him had slipped away. His eyes filled with tears; this revelation didn't sit well with him.
Jungkook
He asked the nurse to leave, and she did.
Jungkook
"If all these events happened five centuries ago," Jungkook whispered, his voice trembling with shock. "It means I died and was reborn in this body. I... I can't digest all this." His mind spun with the weight of the revelation, and his heart pounded in his chest and tears welled up in his eyes.
Jungkook
When he closed his eyes, tears streamed down his cheeks. "So, they were all telling the truth," he thought, his heart heavy with the realization. "I'm not JK, but Jungkook. I think… I think before I came into this body, the former Jungkook saved Taehyung." As the weight of this revelation settled in.
With that, he slowly closed his eyes and drifted into sleep.
Jungkook
Jungkook slowly opened his eyes, feeling the warmth of Taehyung's shoulder against his cheek.
Jungkook
Sorry, I didn't realize when I fell asleep.
Taehyung
It's okay, no problem.
both of them admired the outside world from the cart. The gentle sway of the cart and the rhythmic clatter of the wheels provided a soothing backdrop to their thoughts.
Taehyung
("In my world, I had no one. At the time of my death, I wondered if anyone would remember me. I didn't live my life the way I wanted. But now, given a second chance to live, I will live to the fullest and cherish every moment. And No one can stop me.")
Jungkook
(In my past life, I always wanted to be a good son and a good king for my people, but I never had the chance to live my life the way I wanted. Now, I was given a second chance to live, I cherish it.)
"Let's start new journey," both of them thought.at the same time.
"Okay, let's see how they will begin their new journey..."
