Jeongguk was busy going through his patients' check-ups, scribbling notes and trying to keep his mind focused, when a knock on the door snapped him out of it. He didn't look up at first, thinking it was just the nurse again. "Yeah, come in," he called out absentmindedly.

But when he glanced up and saw who it was, his eyes widened. "Yoongi hyung?" he blurted, quickly getting up from his chair.

Min Yoongi stood there, smirking as usual, his hands casually tucked in his pockets. "Miss me, kid?"

Jeongguk practically jumped over the desk and pulled Yoongi into a hug. "Hyung, where the hell have you been? Thought you got lost in some surgery or something."

The fair male chuckled, patting Jeongguk's back lazily. "Nah, just got lost in Switzerland with my wife. You know, living the good life while you're stuck here playing doctor."

Jeongguk pulled back, rolling his eyes. "Yeah, yeah, rub it in. How was it? You were gone for a whole month!"

"Switzerland was great," Yoongi said, leaning against the door frame, looking way too relaxed for someone who just got back from a long trip. "Beautiful scenery, great food, and even better company. But you already knew that, didn't you? Jealous much?"

The younger one grinned, shaking his head. "Please, like I had time to be jealous with all the work piling up here. Must be nice being a famous cardio doctor, getting all that time off."

"Perks of being married now," Yoongi said with a smug grin. "Maybe you should try it. Oh wait, you're too busy juggling your chaotic life."

Jeongguk laughed, a bit sarcastic. "Thanks, hyung, but I'm good with my chaos. Speaking of which, the hospital hasn't been the same without your grumpy face around. Everyone's been too nice to me."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow, smirking. "So you're saying you missed my insults? Knew you couldn't survive without my daily dose of reality checks."

"Hey, someone's gotta keep me in line," Jeongguk shot back, crossing his arms. "But seriously, it's good to have you back. The place felt too... I don't know, normal without you."

Yoongi snorted. "Normal? Yeah, well, don't get too comfortable. I'm back, and I'm bringing the chaos with me. Ready to make your life a living hell again."

Jeongguk chuckled. "Bring it on, hyung. I've had it way too easy lately."

Yoongi winked, pushing off the door frame. "We'll see how easy it is when I'm done with you. Now, get back to work before I start docking your pay."

Jeongguk mock-saluted him. "Yes, sir! But don't think I'm not gonna drag you out for a drink later. You owe me a hundred stories about your trip."

Yoongi waved him off with a smirk. "Sure, kid. But first, I need to remind everyone here why they were glad I was gone."

Jeongguk watched as Yoongi strolled out, shaking his head with a grin. "Damn, I missed that guy," he muttered before getting back to work, feeling lighter than he had all morning.

During lunch, Yoongi noticed Jeongguk fiddling with his phone, barely touching his food. "You texting Shezam?" Yoongi asked, casually taking a bite of his sandwich.

Jeongguk blinked, looking up. "Uh, yeah... I mean, no. Not really."

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. "Not really? That's new. Everything good with him?"

He hesitated, fingers still lingering over his phone. "Yeah, Shezam's fine. Just... it's not about him."

Yoongi leaned back in his chair, narrowing his eyes. "So if it's not about Shezam, then who's got you all twisted up?"

Another male beside him sighed, finally setting his phone down. "There's this... person. V. We've been talking online for a while now, and it's... different, you know?"

Yoongi smirked. "Different how? Like, different good or different bad?"

"Different good," Jeongguk admitted, almost reluctantly. "Whenever we talk, I feel this... spark. Like something's there that I can't ignore."

"Hmm," Yoongi hummed, nodding thoughtfully. "And you don't feel the same way with Shezam?"

Jeongguk shook his head. "No. I mean, Shezam's great and all, but it's not the same. With V, it's... intense. Even when we're just chatting, it feels like there's something more."

Yoongi stared at him for a moment before asking, "You in love with V, then?"

Jeongguk looked away, his mind racing. "I don't know. I mean, we've never even met in person, and he knows I have a boyfriend. But when we talk, it feels so... real."

Yoongi leaned forward, his tone serious. "If you're feeling something that strong with V, and not with Shezam, you need to figure out what you really want, JK. Don't string anyone along if your heart's not in it."

Jeongguk nodded slowly, absorbing Yoongi's words. "I know, hyung. It's just... complicated. But yeah, I need to figure this out."

Yoongi clapped him on the shoulder, offering a small smile. "Take your time, but don't take too long. You don't wanna lose something good because you're scared to make a move."

Jeongguk sighed, nodding. "Yeah, you're right. Thanks, hyung."

The elder one chuckled, leaning back. "Anytime, kid. Now eat your damn lunch before it gets cold."

Taehyung and Erin sat on the park bench, their bodies still buzzing from the jog. Sweat dripped down their faces as they chugged water, catching their breath. Erin glanced over, her brows furrowing. "You've been off since last week, Tae. Everything okay? I can feel something's different."

Taehyung paused, taking in Erin's words. She always had this way of knowing when something was up, even when he hadn't said a thing. After a moment's hesitation, he sighed and finally decided to spill.

"So... you know about JK, right? How we started chatting on Telegram again?" Taehyung began, fiddling with the water bottle in his hands. "Well, turns out, he's got a boyfriend now."

Erin's eyes widened a bit, but she stayed silent, letting him continue. She already knew how deep Taehyung's feelings ran for JK.

"It's messed up, Erin. Like, we were flirting, getting real close again, and then he drops the boyfriend bomb. But... I can't stop thinking about him. It's like I'm in too deep, you know?" Taehyung admitted, his voice low, almost defeated.

Erin nodded, understanding the pain in his voice. "And you're still in love with him, huh?"

"Yeah... I am," Taehyung confessed, staring at the ground. "And it's killing me, Erin. I don't know what to do. I can't just... shut it off."

Erin sighed, leaning back on the bench, thinking. "Look, Tae, I get it. It sucks, but you can't keep torturing yourself. Maybe... you need to figure out what you really want. And if that means confronting him about it, then do it. But you can't keep holding onto something that might not be there."

The male nodded, knowing she was right but still feeling that ache deep inside. "Yeah... maybe you're right. But it's not that easy. Every time I talk to him, it's like everything else disappears."

"Maybe that's the problem," Erin said softly, giving him a sad smile. "You deserve someone who makes everything better, not someone who makes you question everything."

Taehyung sighed, feeling more lost than ever. "Yeah... I just wish I knew how to let go."

Erin patted his shoulder, offering what comfort she could. "You'll figure it out, Tae. Just don't lose yourself in the process."

They sat there in silence for a while, the weight of Taehyung's words hanging in the air as the sun began to set.

A few drops rolled down Taehyung's cheek before he could wipe them away. He quickly turned his head, not wanting Erin to see. He knew it was all messed up-completely fucked up.

Next day, Jeongguk hummed along to "The Boy Is Mine" as he pushed his cart through the convenience store aisles. The music blared in his ears, drowning out the background noise as he searched for something good to take home for Bam. This store was farther from his place, the one nearby being temporarily closed, so he took his time, picking up a few snacks for himself as well.

As he rounded the corner, a familiar laugh caught his attention. At first, he ignored it, thinking it was just a coincidence. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a familiar silhouette beside the rack. Jeongguk pulled out his earphones, the song fading away, and his eyes locked onto Shezam, who was standing there with another guy-Jordan, one of his batchmates.

Jeongguk had seen Jordan once or twice but never really talked to him. What caught his attention now was how Shezam and Jordan's fingers were intertwined, with Shezam playfully pushing Jordan's chest.

Jeongguk pushed his cart toward them, clearing his throat to get their attention. "Hey, Shezam."

Shezam's eyes widened slightly in surprise, his laughter dying down as he looked over at Jeongguk. "Oh, Jeongguk! Didn't expect to see you here."

Jeongguk offered a small smile, not thinking much of the situation. "Yeah, my usual store's closed, so I had to come a bit farther today." He glanced at Jordan and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Jordan, right? Nice to see you again."

Jordan, who had seen Jeongguk only once in his boxers at Shezam's place, tried to keep things casual.

But soon, he quickly pulled his hand away from Shezam's.

"Yeah, hey, Jeongguk. How's it going?"

"Not bad, just grabbing a few things for Bam," Jeongguk replied, his tone relaxed. "What about you two? Catching up?"

Shezam nodded quickly, a bit too eagerly. "Yeah, just running into each other and decided to grab a few things. You know how it is."

Jeongguk noticed the faint hickey on Shezam's neck, one he had left two weeks ago, and smirked slightly, feeling a bit of pride.
"Looks like you've been busy, huh?"

Shezam blinked, his hand instinctively going to his neck before he chuckled, a bit embarrassed. "Yeah, it's been a hectic couple of weeks with work and everything."

Jordan, sensing the subtle tension, quickly added, "We've been swamped with band stuff. Shezam's been a lifesaver helping me out."

Jeongguk nodded, not seeing any reason to doubt them. "Sounds like you've got your hands full. But hey, it's good you two can still find time to hang out."

"Yeah, we've been friends for years," Shezam said, a bit more relaxed now. "It's always nice to catch up."

Jeongguk smiled, genuinely glad to see Shezam looking happy. "That's good to hear. I'll let you guys get back to it, then."

"Sure, Jeongguk," Shezam replied, relief in his voice. "We should catch up properly later."

"Definitely," Jeongguk agreed, giving them a quick wave before heading toward the checkout. "Take care, both of you."

As he walked away, Jeongguk didn't think twice about the encounter, feeling satisfied with his shopping trip. He paid for his groceries, still humming the song in his head, unaware of the subtle tension that had briefly flickered between the three of them.

For him, it was just another normal day, with nothing out of the ordinary to worry about.

Jeongguk walked into his house, still a bit puzzled from the store run-in but not too bothered. He quickly took care of Bam, feeding him before reaching for his phone. It was Sunday in Korea, so V had the day off, and Jeongguk was gearing up for his night shift. He always got a little flustered and excited when V's name popped up.

He tapped on Telegram, his cheeks warming as he started typing.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yo V! What's good?
Just got home and fed Bam.

[@Vantae30_u]
Hey! Not much, just chilling.
How's your day?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Pretty chill. Just getting
ready for my night shift.
Got any plans for today?

[@Vantae30_u]
Nah, just relaxing and
catching up on shows.
Working late tonight?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yeah, night shift.
Need something good
to watch. Any recs?

[@Vantae30_u]
Try 'Dark Echoes.' It's awesome.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Sweet.

[@Vantae30_u]
Ikr!

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yo, so you got chips and
chocolate, huh?
Living the high life over there.

[@Vantae30_u]
Lol, you know it.
Gourmet chef right here.
Chips, chocolate...
and maybe I found
a half-eaten granola bar.
Fancy, right?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Granola bar?
Dude, that's practically health food.
Who are you and
what did you do with V? 😢

[@Vantae30_u]
Hey, don't hate
It's all about balance.
One healthy snack for every
five unhealthy ones
Math checks out ;)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yeah, I'm sure that's how
nutrition works.
Next thing you'll tell me
is you're drinking kale
smoothies.

[@Vantae30_u]
Ew, no :(
I draw the line at anything green.
Unless it's green M&Ms,
then I'm in ;)

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Lol, I knew you'd
have standards.
Green M&Ms,
the true superfood XD

[@Vantae30_u]
Exactly!!
And they don't taste
like lawn clippings :]

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Bro, when was the last time
you ate lawn clippings?

[@Vantae30_u]
Uh, never.
Just... I dunno, guessing?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Sure, sure.
Totally believable.
You're just out there munching
on grass like Bam :X

[@Vantae30_u]
😆
maybe Bam and I have
more in common than
we thought.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yeah, but at least he's cute
when he does it.
You'd just look weird 💀👍🏻

[@Vantae30_u]
Wow, thanks for the image.
Me, on all fours,
grazing in the yard 😒

[@Jk_moon_1997]
LOL, I'm dying.
Can you imagine your
neighbors?🤣

[@Vantae30_u]
They'd probably move.
Fast. Can't blame them.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
That's it,
new nickname:
V the Lawn Mower.

[@Vantae30_u]
STOP. 😂
I'll never live this down.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Not a chance.
You're forever the guy
who eats grass.
I'm telling everyone.

[@Vantae30_u]
Please don't.
I have a reputation to protect😩

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Too late, bro.
You're the talk of the town now.
They'll all be looking at you like,
'Is he the one?'

[@Vantae30_u]
Great. Just great.
You've ruined me.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Lol, you love it.
Admit it.

[@Vantae30_u]
Okay, maybe a little.
But if I'm a Lawn Mower,
you're... Bam's chew toy.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Excuse me?
I'm nobody's chew toy!
Take that back before
I feed you real lawn
clippings.🤦🏻

[@Vantae30_u]
Hey, you started it.
Just saying you might wanna
keep an eye on Bam.
He might be planning something.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Lol, if Bam ever
tries to eat me,
I'll know who to blame.

[@Vantae30_u]
And you'd still text me,
all like,
'Help! Bam's got my leg!'

[@Jk_moon_1997]
True.
And you'd probably be like,
'Use your other leg to run!'

[@Vantae30_u]
LMAO, see,
I'm always looking out for you.
Problem solver, that's me.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Yeah, yeah. You're so helpful.
But seriously,
if Bam ever turns on me,
I'm coming for you.

[@Vantae30_u]
Noted.
I'll be ready with chips
and chocolate for your recovery.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Just keep the granola
bars away, and
we're good.

[@Vantae30_u]
Deal. 😂

[@Jk_moon_1997]

Alright,
all this grass talk
is getting old...
Wanna switch it up?
Maybe... talk dirty? 😏

[@Vantae30_u]
Whoa, switching gears
fast there, huh?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Gotta keep it interesting, right?
Besides, I know you're
not as innocent as you pretend
to be.

[@Vantae30_u]
Me? Innocent?
Never claimed to be.
You're just asking for trouble,
though.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Maybe I like trouble. 😈
So, what you got for me,
Mr. Lawn Mower?

[@Vantae30_u]
Man, you really don't let go,
do you?
Fine...
but you better be ready
for what's coming.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Try me. I'm all ears...
and maybe a little more.

[@Vantae30_u]
Alright then.
You ever thought about
what I'd do to you if
we weren't just texting right now?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
All the time.
Why, you planning
something?

[@Vantae30_u]
Maybe.
If you were here right now,
I'd probably start with
your tattoos...
trace them with my fingers,
my mouth...
maybe even my tongue.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Damn... go on.
I'm definitely listening.

[@Vantae30_u]
I'd make sure to take my time,
though. Let you
feel every second of it.
You'd be begging for more
before I even got to your
waist.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Shit, you really know
how to get a guy worked up.
Keep going.

[@Vantae30_u]
I'd tease you, make you wait.
You'd hate it, but you'd
love it too.
And when I finally do
what you're thinking
of right now...
you'd lose it.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
I'm already losing it, V.
You're dangerous,
you know that?

[@Vantae30_u]
Only for you.
Guess you should've thought
twice before asking me
to talk dirty 😈

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Regret nothing.
But now you've got me all hot,
and I've got a night shift.
What are you doing to me, man?

[@Vantae30_u]
Just giving you
something to think about
during your shift.
You know...
to keep you motivated.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Motivated, huh?
More like distracted.
But I'm not complaining.

[@Vantae30_u]
Good. Don't.
And when you get home,
you better hit me up.
We're not done.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Count on it.
You've started something,
and I plan on finishing it.

Alright, enough teasing.
Let's get real...
You know I like to take control,
right?

[@Vantae30_u]
Oh, I know.
You love calling the shots,
don't you?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Damn right.
So here's the deal...
I'd have you pinned under me,
face down.
That way, I can hear
every breath, every little sound
you make.

[@Vantae30_u]
FUCK, you're really getting
into it. Keep going.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
I'd go slow at first,
make you squirm
. Let you feel how badly
I want you,
but hold back just enough
to drive you crazy.

[@Vantae30_u]
Shit, JK...
I'd be begging for it 🥵

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Oh, I know you would.
And when you're right
on the edge,
I'd grab your hips and
take you deep,
no holding back.

[@Vantae30_u]
Fuck... that's intense.
You'd make sure I feel
everything, wouldn't you?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Every single inch.
And I'd keep going
until you're a mess under me,
begging me to let you come.

[@Vantae30_u]
You really know
how to mess with my head...
I'd be moaning your name,
you know that, right?

[@Jk_moon_1997]
That's what I wanna hear.
And when you're about
to lose it,
I'd lean down,
whisper in your ear,
and make sure
you know who's in control.

[@Vantae30_u]
Damn, JK...
I'd be gone by then.
You'd wreck me.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Good. That's the plan.
And once you're completely spent,
I'd still keep going,
just to hear you beg me to stop.

[@Vantae30_u]
You're ruthless, man.
But I wouldn't want
it any other way.

[@Jk_moon_1997]
Damn right 😉

[@Vantae30_u]
Yk what?
I am hard Jk!

[@Jk_moon_1997]

I want your naked photo V,
send me already ;)

[@Vantae30_u]
Are you sure?

(a/n:- finally the description!! Yeah, we didn't get much para btw..as yk, the chat was really needed😭)
