Chapter Text
Pushing his hair up, Jungkook looks up at the big building. The same one he is seeing for the past three and half months.
He smoothens down his wrinkled shirt in hopes to get it smoothen though that is not happening with his hands.
His hands shake as he pushes his hair back again, and he looks at his shaking hand with a tried sigh.
He is working as an intern in the hospital, as it is compulsory for any medical student in his class to finish their graduation.
But still, as he thinks, he was not this nervous on the first day. Maybe because he didn't have any idea of how his future would turn up as.
Now though, Jungkook hates the idea of going to work. Not because of his work. He loves working and treating people. What he hates is the person who he neds to meet with for his work. He greets the accountants sitting at their counters on his way to his supervisor's office.
He will get assigned to a new department today where he needs to work for next two weeks.
"You arrived, Jeon. Let's wait for Kwan and Hong to arrive. Then I will take you guys to your next department. I expect your best behaviour there too, Jeon." the supervisor, the one who made him hate the idea of working here, a surgery specialist says.
"Yes, sir." Jungkook nods.
"And donot try new little tricks like you did last time. I think you wish to get graduated." the supervisor not so directly threatens.
The thing is, Kwan Soyoung and Hong Reun, two of his classmates he grouped with for the rotations in the intern are children of some big shots, who personally sent a message to the supervisor to take care of their children.
And hence, with no other way, Jungkook became the target for the supervisor to make him do whatever he wants.
In the first week, it used to be bringing coffee and food from the canteen which he did not mind as he saw few other inters of other departments do the same.
But by the end of the month, the supervisor started handing him Kwan's and Hong's reports to finish as they had to leave early for some party hosted by their parents.
After that, it became a routine for those two to leave the reports to him and their supervisor behaved like he has no idea about any of it.
Due to these, by the end of every week, he has to stay for few more hours to finish the other two reports and hand them to the supervisor.
But last week, when the head of the department came to talk with the interns, he asked if any of them have any concerns.
And Jungkook mulled about it a lot before going to the head personally to tell about his situation.
But what he didn't expect is for the head to be also part of this and warned him to keep quiet if wants to get graduated.
So, here he is, doing silently whatever his supervisor asked him to as he has no chance to defy him since his future is his hands.
"Good morning, Juwan-sii" Kwan and Hong greet as they enter the room.
"Oh! You both are here. Come sit." the supervisor, who asked him to call his sir all the time, ushers them both to the two chairs in his office as Jungkook silently stands at one corner since he got there.
"You next two weeks work will be in emergency ward. I tried to talk with the head to let you two go but it is not possible so, please try to bear with it. If you have any, even a little discomfort, just contact me before saying anything to your parents. I will solve it." the supervisor says.
"Now please come with me." the supervisor says going out of the room.
"What's with his clothes?"
"Can't he atleast dress properly?"
"How did he even get into this intern program? I thought scholarship students are sent to the rural hospital."
"Must have begged for it. Or how else?"
Jungkook sighs, ignoring the two talking about him as it is not the first time this happened. He knows that all the other interns are from big backgrounds and they think he is a scholarship student based on his attire.
If anything, Jungkook learned in his high school, first thing would be to keep his background secret. He donot want people to be with him just because of his family name. So, he even asked his brother to change his family name to his mother's one from his father's one.
They move to the emergency ward which is always busy, filled with patients. But as the working shifts are about to change, his supervisor took them to the common room for the emergency ward workers and introduced them.
"Guys, this is Kwan Soyoung and Hong Reun, the ones I mentioned yesterday. And that guy is Jeon. I am leaving them in your care for next two weeks." he says as Jungkook bows to all while the other to just stand.
"You two, come with me. I will explain to you about your work." a senior doctor says, taking them out of the common room, leaving Jungkook with the other doctors and nurses.
"Jeon?" Someone speaks as Jungkook turns to the voice and sees another doctor standing up.
"Yes, mam?" he responds.
"Come with me."
They both walk towards the cafeteria where she takes a coffee and they settle on a bench in the gardens.
"I am Haena, just call me by my name. No need for the titles." she says taking a sip.
"Nice to meet you Haena-sii. My name is Jeon Jungkook." he introduces himself as the superior never did.
"I will come straight to the point."
Jungkook looks at her silently.
"The others might ask you to do everything as they can't do that with the other two. So, whenever I am here, just follow me. They won't disturb you." she says.
"Oh…that was, Thank you Haena-sii. I look forward to working with you." Jungkook says as no one ever tried to help him.
"No need. It is my duty as your senior to look after you. And I know how hard an emergency ward interning would be."
"Let's go back. Our shift starts in few minutes." she says, throwing the empty cup.
_______
Luckily, following Haena's orders made the others to leave him as he is always with her.
But luck is not on his side when Haena is on leave for three days.
"I won't be available for the next three days." she already informed him yesterday to which he said he can manage.
"Hey, Jeon. Check the bed 34!" someone shouts as her runs to check them.
And there starts his hellish day.
First it was a teenage girl who burned her finger which is so minor that is don’t even need a medical help, just an ointment could fix.
But when he tells that to her mother, she shouts at him for being so irresponsible and to give her daughter a perfect treatment.
So, he gives her one, though it was necessary and his senior shouts at him when he sees what he did.
"That was a minor burn, Jeon. That doesn't even need a clean-up. You wasted so much dressing for nothing."
And then it is an old man, who says he is having a stomach pain, and asks for a certain medicine which can be taken by prescription.
And he gets shouted for not giving him the damn medicine and what he is doing if not treating people.
By the midnight, the room is half filled, not that busy so his supervisor came to have a look at his interns.
"Juwan-sii, can we call it a day for today? We have a meeting with our friends in an hour." Kwan asks, just as he spots the supervisor entering.
"The ward is not that busy. Just handle your work to Jeon and leave. He can handle them." the supervisor says, shocking him.
"But, sir. I cannot handle all of the them at once. There are nearly forty patients." Jungkook tries to reason.
"Yeah. And you are not working all alone, Jeon. There are real doctors and nurses working. You are just an intern." the supervisor says as he sends the other two to go change and leave.
By the end of his fifteen hours shift, Jungkook is dead by his feet, handling three people work at once is impossible and he doesn't know how he managed to do it. And not to add, tomorrow will be his last day in the emergency ward as he will get assigned to new department the next day.
________
"Good morning, sir." Jungkook greets his supervisor as he goes to stand in his usual corner, waiting for the other two to arrive.
He was working as usual, with less than four hours sleep when his supervisor asked him meet him in his office room. The other two were nowhere to be seen in the emergency ward for the past four hours he is working so, he knows they did not come.
But he kept his mouth silent, not saying anything.
Surprisingly, they both arrived with ten minutes, greeting the supervisor.
"You will be completing your half intern time by today. So, the head will have a meeting will all of you and you will get your evaluating grades for your work.
And by evening, his classmates were sitting in a meeting room, all seventy of them, waiting for the head to arrive as the supervisor too settled in their seats. Jungkook stomach grumbles, reminding him of his uneaten lunch.
"Just come here and pick your respective paper. Then we could have the talk." the head says and takes his seat as someone starts calling their names.
______
By the time, Jungkook's name is called, most of them got their paper and started discussing about their grades. He couldn't help but listen to their talks until his name is called.
And when he gets his paper, he feels his heart drop at the grades he got. Jungkook just stands there, halfway to his seat as he looks at his grades.
He worked for seven departments in these four months and they all have given their grades differently.
He looks around and finds the grade paper of Kwan Soyoung and sees straight A's in everything which makes his throat to clog as he looks at his paper once again which has C's and D's.
He makes a bee line to his supervisor who lazily looks up at him.
"What?"
"Sir, my g-grades." he tries really hard to say those words as every breath makes him more hurt.
"Yeah. Be happy that you passed. Don't think that I don't know about your stunt in emergency ward. Kwan said you never helped him." the supervisor says.
"But, I w-was following the s-senior's order." Jungkook says, by now the tears have been streaming continuously and all of his classmates just look at him with nothing to say.
"Serves him right. Thinks he is superior of all." Hong mumbles as Kwan scoffs.
But Jungkook blocks their words as they were not helping in his current state and looks at the supervisor.
"This is unf-fair, sir. I- I worked hard for it. Y-you can't do this." he hiccups, his lips trembling and his voice coming out with some much pain that even parting his lips makes his feel like someone stabbing his heart.
"Oh? And what will you do about this? Going to complain to your university?" the supervisor taunts.
The others chuckle and hold their laughs as his supervisor laughs loudly.
Without any waste, Jungkook sprints out of the room, holding his sobs until he reaches the washroom.
He takes his mobile out with trembling hands, the grade paper fallen on the dirty floor as he tries to control his sobs while calling the only person he could think of.
The calls get connected in a ring.
"H-hyung." he says, alerting the person on the other side.
"Precious? What happened?"
"I want to g-go home." he tried to says without his voice breaking.
"Hyung will be there in few minutes, Precious. Talk to me."
"Can't." he says, his breathing coming short as he drops on the floor, leaning on the wall.
"Okay, just listen to hyung. You like hyung's voice, don't you?"
He gives a hum which sounds like a whimper between his harsh breathes.
________
When Park Jimin is in a meeting, no one would try to interrupt him knowing his wrath. He hates interruptions and mostly he hates people who gets benefited from other's work.
So, imagine the surprise of the people in the meeting room when their president’s mobile rang which he almost ran to pick up from his standing spot.
And even more surprising when he just leaves the room with no word, the only word they hear before he leaves is 'precious'.
Jimin having a normal day. He woke up to his boyfriend cuddling him who is working hard for the past four months.
He just wants his sweet love to sleep more but remembers the younger asking him to wake up by seven last night or more like midnight as he has a shift by nine.
So, unwillingly he tries to wake him. More like smooches him all over his face. Finally kisses him, waking the younger fully as he too returns the kiss.
"Take a leave, precious. You did not even use atleast one leave until now." Jimin says, when he sees his baby fighting to open his eyes.
"Today is the last day for this department, hyung. I can't." Jungkook mumbles, still trying open his eyes as he snuggles more into his boyfriend.
"I will call your brother if you don't take a leave after this." Jimin says making Jungkook whine, burrowing deeper in his chest.
"Uh-huh. Not falling for your cute tricks." Jimin says, still his hands go to run his fingers through his hair.
"Rub my neck." Jungkook mumbles which Jimin does almost instantly.
"Eat your lunch. We you get back; we are going to not leave our home for next twenty-four hours." Jimin says, pecking the younger.
"I never agreed to take a leave." Jungkook huffs, his lips turning into a pout automatically.
"You will or I will call Yoongi." Jimin says, kissing the pout with a loud sound.
"Don't involve my hyung! He makes it a big thing." Jungkook complains, knowing damn well that his brother would raise hell if he comes to know how his little brother is being treated in the hospital.
"Then you are taking a leave." Jimin says, a certainty in his words giving no choice for him.
But when he gets a call from his boyfriend, he knows by instant that it is important as Jungkook never calls between his work and he knows the younger has few hours more for his shift to end.
And listening to his boyfriend's cries is the worst thing, not what he wants to ever hear as he turns the car, breaking one more traffic rule.
He is sure he broke atleast three red signals by the time he reaches the hospital.
"Hyung is here, Precious. Which floor are you in?" Jimin asks, maintaining his voice to be soft and calm, opposite what he is feeling.
"Seventh floor. Bathroom near the elevator." Jungkook answers, still on the floor but his sobs decreased, hiccups taking their place.
"Where is the elevator?" Jimin shouts as he reaches the reception, scaring the people behind their desk who points the direction.
"Okay, baby love. Can you come out from your spot? Hyung is in elevator already." Jimin says, not caring for the other people in the elevator as he talks.
"Yes, hyung." Jungkook says, opening the door to the stall and going to the bathroom door which opens even before he touches the handle and there stands his boyfriend.
And the tears start again at the sight of him.
"I am here. You are with me." Jimin says, taking the crying boy into his arms, letting him cry as he holds him tightly, whispering words to his ear.
____
"Drink this." Jimin hands the bottle to the younger and settles beside him on the bench.
After calming the crying boy, Jimin took the him to balcony garden present in the same floor where he made him sit before going to fetch something for the younger to drink.
"Did anything happen to any patient?" Jimin asks carefully as he remembers last time Jungkook cried.
It was a few weeks ago when Jungkook entered home and fell in his arms before started crying. When Jimin coaxed him to open up, Jungkook told him. About a child dying on that day whom he was treating for the last one week.
"Don't be mad." Jungkook mumbles, never looking at Jimin, his eyes focusing on the bottle in his hands.
"I would never, precious. Tell hyung."
So, he says about everything from the start. And he sees the change of expression in Jimin's face but he never interrupts Jungkook from telling.
"Where is the paper?" Jimin asks after listening everything.
"Must be in the bathroom stall." Jungkook answers.
"Just wait here, I will be back."
Saying that, Jimin goes to the bathroom and takes the fallen paper, now dirty but he could still see the grades on it which makes his blood boil.
His baby love worked hard, didn't even get a well-deserved sleep since the internship started and he never once complained about it to him or anyone.
But not anymore. He takes him mobile, calling the only person who could help him.
"Hey, Yoongi."
"On my way already, Park."
Jimin hears the response before the call gets cut, making Jimin suck a sharp breath.
If guessing by the tone, Jimin could say there is a great damage going to happen in this building in the next coming hours.
_____
"Show me the meeting room, precious. I need to have a talk with your supervisor." Jimin says, coming back with the paper, and doesn't try to mention about the call with Yoongi.
"No, hyung. I don't want to confront them. Let's go home." Jungkook pleads, standing up and taking Jimin's hands.
"Jungkook."
Sighing, Jungkook nods at him once before pulling him, making way to the meeting room.
"This one." Jungkook says, pointing to the meeting room door.
Pushing the doors with more force than needed, Jimin announces his entry.
In the room, as Jungkook observes from the out, they were continuing with the meeting as if nothing happened.
"Shin Juwan?" Jimin calls, ignoring the head who is shouting at him for interrupting them without any permission.
"Shh" Jimin says, pointing his index at the head.
"Shut up if you want to keep your job." he warns, every word coming out with so much venom that the head becomes silent and walks out mumbling about calling the security.
"Who is Juwan?" Jimin asks again, this time the supervisor raises his hand from his chair, confusion written all over face.
The room becomes more silent as Jimin stalks towards him as the other supervisors and his classmates look at the scene happening.
A slap echoes through the room making some of them to stand up at the sudden action as Juwan falls on the floor with his hand covering his cheek as Jungkook runs to his boyfriend.
"Hyung!" he says, clutching his boyfriend's arm to stop him from doing anything more.
"What the hell? Is this your doing, Jeon? You really cried and called someone to complain? Just you wait and see what happens." Juwan shouts, standing up.
Jimin scoffs, slapping him hard with the other hand that is not in Jungkook's hold as the supervisor falls back on the floor once again.
"Hyung!" Jungkook gasps, taking his other hand to his hold and looks around to only see his classmates already filming everything and he sees Kwan already on a call.
"You are not going to complete your graduation." Juwan still warns, not expecting the harsh kicks sent to his face.
"Say one more thing and you will not have a functioning mouth to talk anymore." Jimin says, continuously giving hard kicks to the man on the floor, most of them aimed at his face.
"Jimin hyung, stop it." Jungkook scolds, trying to get between the bloody human(literally) and his boyfriend who stops kicking when he perfectly blocks the body.
"Hey! Who do you think you are? I am calling cops right now." Kwan shouts.
"And we recorded everything. So, there is no way you are going to escape." he adds.
"And you too, Jeon. This all started because of you." Hong accuses.
"Jimin hyung, no." Jungkook struggles to hold him as he tries to break free from his hold.
But before any of them could make a move, loud footsteps approach, their head running back to the room, his face that looks like he has seen a ghost.
"Good boy." the voice says, before the man appears inside the room.
"What?!" Jungkook says, confused and exasperated before he leaves his boyfriends hands to turn and look at his brother who stands there, near the door with a gun in his hands, lazily placed on his shoulder as Seokjin and Namjoon appear behind him.
"Why are you here now?!" Jungkook groans, nearing his brother who gives the gun to Namjoon before taking big steps to meet him.
"Are you feeling better?" Yoongi asks, his hands going to the younger's cheeks, doing a scan himself all over his body before looking at his eyes.
And Yoongi whole face becomes hardened, looking at the red eyes, which clearly states how much Jungkook cried.
"I am fine, hyung." Jungkook mumbles, forgetting their surrounding as he hugs his brother whom he didn't see for the past month.
"I missed you." he says, still hugging his brother.
"I missed you too, my prince. Hyung is here now." Yoongi says, his voice which Jimin still finds amusing how soft it becomes when he talks with Jungkook.
"Yeah! Why are you here?" Jungkook asks, leaning back, crossing his hands.
"I know I promised to not involve but they made you cry." Yoongi says, his attention back to the head who is sweating buckets.
"Park." Yoongi says.
"Yes?" Jimin says, walking towards them.
"Take him and enjoy the show." Yoongi instructs, taking the gun back from Namjoon.
"What are you doing?!" Jungkook gasps, as Jimin lifts before taking him to the corner and puts him in a chair.
"Sorry, precious. Yoongi orders." Jimin says, not sorry at all as he too takes a seat beside his boyfriend.
"Now, should we start?" Yoongi says as he makes his way to the centre while Jin closes the doors behind him.
Jungkook looks around, his classmates huddle together at the opposite corner as Juwan tries to get up and see what is happening.
And his brother just crouches before the head, rotating a gun in his hands.
"What did you say to me earlier?" Yoongi asks, his voices resonating in the silent room.
"I am sorry. I don't know he is your boy." the head begs.
"What did you say?" Yoongi asks again, pressing the gun to his forehead with every word.
"I will throw him out of this internship and make sure no one gives him any oppurtunity." the head says.
"And why is that?"
"Sir, please. I don't know. I am really sorry." the head begs, kneeling and touching Yoongi's feet.
"Shut up."
Yoongi knocks him hard with his gun, making his unconscious before he gets up looking in the room.
Seokjin opens the door when he hears the similar knocking sound.
"I brought my friends." Taehyung says, along with Hoseok, pulling two middle aged men with them.
"Dad!"
"Father!"
Kwan and Hong shout trying to go to their fathers but one look from Yoongi silences them as they step back in fear.
"Oh?" Jimin mumbles, standing up.
Jungkook looks confused as his boyfriend gets up and makes his way to the two men as Taehyung and Hoseok take their seats beside him.
"You ok, future doc?"
"I am fine, Tae."
"Do you want to step out?" Hoseok asks, brushing his hair.
"I want hyung to step out." Jungkook huffs, still refusing to believe what is happening.
"I can't do that, Kook." Hoseok says, laughing.
"Atleast send them out." Jungkook says, pointing at his classmates.
So, Hoseok gets up, goes to Yoongi, clearly telling him what Jungkook asked as he motion to Seokjin and Namjoon who follow his orders immediately.
"Talk about what happened here, this will be your situation then. And I will surely cancel your internship." Yoongi warns.
"Take their mobiles." Jimin says, as he saw them recording.
With in minutes, Hoseok, Jin, and Namjoon clears the room, taking their mobiles and sending them out.
His supervisor, still heaving on the floor, with a bruised face.
Hong and Kwan standing in the corner, trembling, and looking at their fathers.
The head, knocked on the floor.
"Kwan, didn't expect you here." Jimin says, leaning on the table.
"Mr. Park, I didn't know you are here." Kwan stutters.
"You know them, Park?" Yoongi asks.
"Yeah, works under me. Have some shares in my company." Jimin answers.
"Not anymore." Yoongi grins and looks at Seokjin who salutes before going out.
"You know, I hate people misusing their power and still you did that." Jimin says.
"Did your son actually pass the exams or did you buy them too?" he adds.
"No, Mr. Park. He is very intelligent." Kwan answers.
"Oh, really?" this time, Yoongi says.
"Little prince, can you ask him a small question from your studies?" Yoongi asks.
"Do it. If he answers, your brother might leave them without doing anything." Taehyung suggests.
So, Jungkook looks at his classmate, who avoids his gaze.
And he asks a question, a basic one someone should know for being a final year student.
But the answer never comes.
"What about you? Can you answer it?" Yoongi asks the second guy who stutter an answer.
"Is that correct, Precious?"
"No..."
"See, they don't deserve to be here but look what you have done. People are working hard for an opportunity like this and you are just throwing money to get it." Yoongi hisses, his gun pointed at the two boys in the corner who scream at the sight of the gun.
"Shh!" Jimin silences them.
Seokjin comes back, this time a few papers in his hands which he passes to Yoongi.
"Now, this is what you will do. I will give this paper to you and you will sign them. Understand?" Yoongi says, throwing the papers at them who were still kneeling on the ground.
"This is ridiculous. All our shares?" Hong mumbles.
"Yes, all your shares, willingly giving to Jeon Jungkook." Yoongi says.
Jungkook stands up, shocked at what his heard.
"Hyung." he says, tugging at Yoongi's sleeve.
"I know, Jungkook-ah. Just few minutes and we can go." Yoongi says.
"Not that." Jungkook sighs.
"Baby, you know it's useless." Jimin mumbles, pulling him into his arms.
And he looks silently as the two men sign the papers and hand them back to Yoongi who passes them to Seokjin who checks them and nods to his boss.
"Good. Now we can go." Yoongi says, as they all move out of the room.
__________
And Jungkook takes a much-needed leave for a week before going back to the hospital, this time, his new supervisor, greets him.
"Good morning, Jungkook."
"Haena-sii, Good morning." Jungkook greets her.
"I heard what happened." she says as they move to her cabin.
"Oh."
"Don't worry. That will not affect you in anyway with me." she assures as she takes her seat and gestures for him to sit.
"This is your new evaluation paper, which I personally checked before approving." she says, giving him his grade sheet.
And this time, he sees his new grades full A's.
"Thank You."
"You deserve it for your hard work. I can't believe you never took a day leave in these four months." she says, shocked at the news.
"Ah...yeah. Juwan-sii, never accepted them." he answers.
After that day, Jungkook came to know that his brother made sure his supervisor and head got suspended and he also complained a case on the two student who got their degree cancelled at the fraud grades.
"Well then, shall we go to your new department? I can introduce you to them." She says and they both make their way to his next department.
And Jungkook completes his internship with no more hurdles, with a good supervisor who inspires him to take ER course for his residency.
