Third person's pov

As Mina said "Imatinib," Jungkook froze momentarily, his heart pounding in his chest. "The-ey're mi-ine," he managed to say, his voice barely above a whisper.

Mina's eyes widened in shock, her hand trembling slightly as she held the bottle. "You ha-ave leuk-kemia too?" she asked, her voice filled with concern.

Jungkook remained silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, finally, he nodded, unable to meet Mina's gaze.

Mina's shock quickly turned to concern, and she reached out to gently touch Jungkook's arm. "J-Jungkook, I didn't know," she said softly,

Jungkook let out a heavy sigh, his shoulders slumping with the weight of his burden. "Ple-ease, Mi-ina, don't tell anyone," he pleaded, his voice thick with emotion. "Not yet."

Mina nodded in confusion, her eyes reflecting the pain she saw in Jungkook's. She guided him to sit down on the couch beside her and wrapped her arms around him,

"I ha-ad no idea," Mina said softly, her voice filled with empathy.

Tears welled up in Jungkook's eyes as he leaned into Mina's embrace,

Mina held him close, offering silent comfort as Jungkook let himself release the pent-up emotions he had been holding in for so long.

As Jungkook wiped his tears, Mina cupped his face and said, "Jungkook, you should tell your family about it." Jungkook sighed, feeling conflicted.

"Just tell them, don't think about what will happen next," Mina urged. Jungkook remained silent for a moment, contemplating his decision. Eventually, he nodded slightly and said, "I will......but not now."

Jungkook managed a small smile,

Mina returned the smile and said, "I am here for you."

Feeling a sense of relief wash over him, Jungkook nodded. "I know," he said softly,

As they sat together in silence, Jungkook felt a bit relieved after opening his heart to someone.

After a few moments of quiet contemplation, Jungkook glanced at the clock and realized that it was time to head back home. "I should go," he said, standing up from the couch.

Mina nodded understandingly. "Take care, Jungkook. And remember, I'm here if you ever need to talk and take care of yourself hmm."

Jungkook smiled at Mina's words,"Thank you, Mina. I'll see you soon."

Then soon Jungkook left Mina's house.......

As Jungkook entered the house, he dropped his bag on the couch with a thud and sank into the cushions, exhaustion evident in his posture.

Taehyung, who had been flipping through a magazine, looked up and said with a little smile, "Hey, how was Mina ?" he asked,

"She's fine," Jungkook replied, his voice tired. "We had breakfast together."

Taehyung nodded, his gaze lingering on Jungkook for a moment longer before he turned his attention back to the magazine. "Good to hear," he murmured, flipping a page absentmindedly.

Jungkook leaned back on the couch,  "Did you eat breakfast?" he asked, trying to distract himself from his swirling thoughts.

Taehyung nodded,."Yeah, I ate some of it, I am not really hungry."

Jungkook hummed in response and closed his eyes.

Taehyung turned his attention back to the magazine. After a few minutes, Jungkook picked up the remote and turned on the TV.

After a few hours......

After a few hours, the door swung open, and Taemin and Hye-joon stepped inside. Taemin appeared visibly off.

Without a word of greeting, he headed straight for his room,

" Taemin!"

Jungkook called out to him, but Taemin didn't respond, his silence echoing in the empty hallway.

Concern etched across his features, Taehyung turned to Hye-joon, his voice laced with worry. "What's wrong with him?" he asked, his brow furrowing in confusion. "Did you two have a fight?"

Hye-joon shook her head, "He's been like this since I picked him up from collage," she said, her tone seemed worried, "I don't know what's gotten into him."

Jungkook's gaze flickered towards Taemin's closed door, a knot of worry forming in his stomach.

As the minutes ticked by, the tension in the air grew palpable, the silence of the house punctuated only by the muffled sounds of Taemin moving about in his room.

Jungkook's mind raced with possibilities, each one more alarming than the last,

After some time, Jungkook decided to go in Taemin's room to check on him. He gently pushed the door open and found Taemin lying on his bed, his face buried in his pillow. "Minie, what's wrong?" Jungkook asked softly, concern etched into every word.

Taemin remained silent, his shoulders tense as he hugged the pillow tighter. "Nothing, just leave me alone," he muttered, his voice muffled by the fabric.

Jungkook moved closer, despite Taemin's words, "Baby, is something bothering you?" he said, his voice filled with concern.

Suddenly, Taemin exploded, his voice laced with frustration and anguish. "NO!" he shouted, his outburst echoing off the walls of the room. "Just get out!"

Jungkook recoiled, stunned by Taemin's sudden outburst. He had never heard his son raise his voice like that before, and it sent a pang of worry coursing through him.

"Taem–" he began, but Taemin cut him off with another shout.

"I said just get out!" Taemin snapped, his voice trembling with emotion as tears welled up in his eyes.

Hearing the commotion, Hye-joon and Taehyung rushed to Taemin's room, their expressions a mix of concern and confusion. "Taemin! Is this a way to talk to your mother?" Taehyung said, his voice was loud.

Taemin turned his head away,
"Please, just leave me alone," he pleaded, his voice cracking with pent-up frustration.

Hye-joon stepped forward, her eyes filled with worry as she reached out to touch Taemin's shoulder. "What's wrong, baby?" she asked gently,

But Taemin's patience had worn thin, his emotions bubbling over as he finally let out a raw, anguished cry. "I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!" he shouted, his voice breaking as tears streamed down his cheeks. "PLEASE, JUST GO!"

Jungkook, Taehyung and Hye-joon exchanged a glance before reluctantly retreating from Taemin's room.

As the evening wore on, the tension in the household remained palpable. Taehyung, Jungkook, and Hye-joon were all consumed by worry for Taemin,

"Appa, should we try to talk to him again?" Hye-joon asked, her voice laced with concern as she glanced at Taehyung and Jungkook.

Taehyung shook his head, his brow furrowed with worry. "No, let him be for now," he said softly, his tone heavy with concern.

Jungkook fidgeted nervously, "But what if he needs us?" he whispered, his voice barely above a murmur.

" I think it's better to let him stay alone for the time being." Taehyung replied, glancing over Jungkook.

After sometime, they reluctantly retreated to the living room. Jungkook couldn't shake the feeling of unease that gnawed at him, his worry for his son weighing heavily on his mind.

After what felt like an eternity of anxious waiting, Jungkook couldn't stop himself anymore and he rose from his seat and made his way back to Taemin's room, his heart pounding.

As he entered the room, his eyes fell on Taemin sitting huddled on the floor, his shoulders shaking with silent sobs. Jungkook's heart clenched at the sight and his eyes widened slightly at the sight.

"Baby Minie, talk to Eomma. What's wrong?" Jungkook implored softly, his voice filled with gentle concern as he approached Taemin.

This time, Taemin didn't said anything Instead, he simply reached out and enveloped Jungkook in a tight embrace, his body trembling.

Jungkook was taken aback by the sudden hug, but he wasted no time in returning the embrace, wrapping his arms around Taemin and holding him close.

For a long moment, they remained locked in a silent embrace, the only sound filling the room the quiet sobs that emanated from Taemin's trembling form. Jungkook gently stroked Taemin's back,

As Taemin cried in Jungkook's arms, his sobs gradually grew quieter until they eventually subsided into gentle sniffles. Jungkook continued to hold him close, his heart heavy with concern for his son.

He could feel Taemin's body relaxing against his own, the tension slowly melting away as exhaustion claimed him.

After what felt like an eternity, Taemin's breathing grew steady and even, his body finally succumbing to sleep. Jungkook remained seated on the floor, cradling his son in his arms as he gently rocked him back and forth.

Jungkook's shirt was damp from Taemin's tears.

Lost in the quiet of the moment, Jungkook didn't know how long they stayed like that, but eventually, he knew he had to move.

Gently, he pulled Taemin back from the hug, careful not to wake him. With a heavy heart, he rose to his feet and made his way to the door.

He immediately made his way to their room and saw Taehyung on the bed,"Tae, can you come to Taemin's room? He's asleep on the floor."

" Did you talked with him ?" He asked, getting up from bed.

" I went to his room but he didn't talked..... he just kept crying. " He said, his voice was filled with worry, " I am really worried tae."

" He has never been like this. " Taehyung said as they both made their way to Taemin's room.

Taehyung’s expression were filled with concern as he saw Taemin lying on the floor. He knelt down and caressed his hair,

Then together Jungkook and Taehyung, carefully lifted Taemin and carried him to his bed, tucking him in with gentle hands.

Jungkook leaned down and pressed a tender kiss to Taemin's forehead,
