UNKNOWN POV:
TWO DAYS LATER….
Jeongukk’s body was about to be handed to the Jeon family. But before that the doctor had asked Mr. Jeon to meet him. Why did he have to meet him now? As told, Mr. Jeon went to meet the doctor.
“Hello, you asked to meet you? Any problem with Jungkook? Is he fine?” Mr. Jeon asked.
“Mr. Jeon, I have to warn you. Forget it. Hyung, we have been like brothers for many years. As a doctor, it’s against the rules, to let the recipient know about the donor. But since it’s in the family, if not today, sometime later Jungkook will know about it. Get on with the funeral and last rites for Jeongukk. And once you’re done, let’s find time and tell Jungkook together only after I make sure he is ready to take such a big news. I will be there, because that’s my last promise to your son.” The doctor said.
What? Jeongukk had asked to look after Jungkook? This boy, really!! I really admire him. Mr. Jeon closed his eyes tight and let the tears flow. After a while, he nodded and got up to leave.
“Let’s go.” Mr. Jeon said and I nodded leading the way.
We went to the morgue and took Jeongukk’s body. It was carefully laid in the new suit which Mr. Jeon had brought. The family members were asked to come see before it was embalmed and packed into the casket. We were waiting for Madam and Yugyeom. I felt bad for Jungkook. He was still unconscious after the surgery. The doctor said he will take some time as it was a very risky and big surgery.
An hour later after all family members and seen Jeongukk for the last time, a small prayer was done by the priest and then it was handed over to the morgue people for embalming and packing the body in a casket.
Hours later, we buried Jeongukk in the graveyard which was not far from the hospital. Everybody paid their respects and left one by one until it was only Mr. Jeon, Madam and Yugyeom. Suddenly somebody’s phone rang. Yugyeom.
“Yes, Yugyeom speaking.” He said.
“Oh, thanks, thanks a lot. We will be in 10. Please be with him. Thanks again.” He sounded very happy.
“Uncle, Jungkook is awake.” He said smiling, but his smile dropped as if he realized something.
Of course, we still had to tell him that his hyung was…..
