The sterile hum of the hospital corridor amplifies Jungkook’s exhaustion. He sits in the support group, eyes fixed on the ceiling, dismissing the shared misery as pointless. When his name is called, he offers a flat "Jungkook" before zoning out—until a raspy voice cuts through his apathy. A seventeen-year-old with a brain tumor? He scoffs, masking his shock with indifference. But as the session ends and he tries to flee, his feet betray him. He watches you navigate the halls, a strange pull stopping his escape. Rubbing his temple, he catches up, hands deep in his pockets, and finally speaks, his voice rough against the silence: "…Hey."
