JEONGUKK’S POV:
10 years passed since I moved to America leaving everything behind. I left him behind too. But look at him shinning so brightly now. He was a part of the world famous band, BTS. It made me feel proud of everybody. I would have been a part of it, if I stayed back. I know they wouldn’t let me go if I didn’t agree.
Jungkook also became very famous, he had almost a million fans. Plus he was about to come to an end of his contract with his American Label Music Company, and as this news broke out, everybody was very eager as to where Jungkook will go later. And HYBE, the same label as BTS, tried their best for signing Jungkook. Recently BTS also had their 4 day concert here in America, the same venue where Jungkook was about to have his concert in a 2 week’s time. I didn’t get to see Jin hyung, or Jimin or Taehyung, but I saw live concert on a social media platform. They looked happy. I wished I could go and tell them that I am alive and doing well. That I miss them too.
Last week I privately met Jungkook’s doctor. I had to discuss with him about Jungkook’s health since Jungkook was going to have a concert soon. Concert comes with lots of stress, very loud music with speakers booming like crazy and performing tirelessly. So decided to go and have a talk with him. Also I need to talk to him about my decision.
A Week Ago…
“Hi, doc, I am Jeongukk, Jungkook’s brother.” I said while shaking hands with the doctor who smiled very kindly at me.
“I know Mr. Jeon. I know you. You were one of those things which Jungkook spoke always whenever he was here. And not to forget you are one of the reasons why he wants to live so badly.” The doctor said, his smile fading slowly.
“Doc, Jungkook is a Popstar you know that. And he’s going to have a concert soon. That is why I wanted to discuss things with you about his health.” I told him.
“I completely understand, Mr. Jeon. I have seen concerts before. It’s a lot. It’s usually okay for normal people. But Jungkook, NO.” He said stressing on the NO.
“It’s going to be difficult, I know. But that’s one of the reasons why people love him. I mean you tried to keep it a secret, I mean Jungkook’s health. But you see, these fans are very dedicated and loyal once they decide to follow any artist. In case of Jungkook, his life has never been a secret. His music is his love and even when he was here many times for his treatment, he was always connected with his fans. Singing and playing his guitar on live even with his bad health is the biggest and probably the only reason, why they love him so much. It will be difficult if anything happens to him mid-concert.” The doctor explained very carefully.
From the way he spoke, it seemed his already has experienced this before.
“So, what do you suggest? I mean I can ask him to cancel his concert and do a live just at home or studio. And you know him, he agrees instantly to whatever I say.” I asked the doctor who shook his head.
“No, no. It’s fine. But he has to rest himself a lot. Loud music cant be avoided. But he has to avoid performing or dancing. He cant be tired. It will put pressure on his heart and.. well you know the rest. Also its been years. We are still very far from the number to receive a heart transplant for him.” And it struck me like a lightning.
“That’s one of the reasons why I am here.” I said and the doctor facial expressions changed quickly.
“What do you mean?” He asked and I smiled looking out of the window.
“I think you have already guessed it, doc. I know I can do it. And I made this decision years ago.” I told him without looking at him.
“Are you crazy? Mr. Jeon, you want me to kill you in order to save your brother? Sorry that’s not happening.” The doctor refused me straightaway.
“Are you planning to let my brother die if you don’t get a donor in time?” He was clearly at loss of words after this.
