Kim Taehyung and Jeon Jungkook shared a desk for six years of primary school. Taehyung had tormented Jungkook for every second of this time, but Jungkook saw his moment and chose a secondary school to end their friendship. Who would have thought tha...
"What's this—paroxetine hydrochloride tablets?" Taehyung read aloud the prescription name on the box. When he turned it over and read the prescription instructions and what it treated, he was stunned.
"Take it that auntie is begging you. Please go take a look at Yukhei." Woohee was like grasping at straws. "He likes you so much."
Taehyung was unable to believe that Yukhei had depression. In his mind, Lucas was still that pure and innocent teenager. Though he did not like to speak, he was someone who loved smiling. When he smiled, an adorable dimple would appear on his face. On the ice, he was like a beautiful butterfly with unfurled wings, brimming with life and grace.
How could someone like this have depression?
Taehyung was temporarily unable to accept this news. At the same time, he was a little doubtful as well. Thus, he said, "I can visit him but I'm not a psychologist."
——
For the competition on Tuesday, Jungkook and the team we're going up against the Snow Eagles, an experienced ice hockey club in Seoul. It was said that there was someone extremely rich backing this club. Though they might not be one of the top clubs in South Korea, they were the richest.
The Snow Eagles had quite the following on their home ground. The night of the competition, the stadium was packed. Whenever the Snow Eagles were falling behind, the local fans would yell Jungkook's name.
Don't be mistaken, they were not Jungkook's fans. They merely wished that the "disgrace of the Dauntless Dragons" could go up more and ruin his team's tempo, allowing them to take back the field.
This was a humiliation.
Taehyung was beyond upset himself as he sat in the spectators' stand. He could not imagine how Jungkook felt.
The competition lasted over two hours and the Dauntless Dragons' spirit was under constant attack. However, they managed to withstand the pressure and won in the end.
When Jungkook came back, it was some time past 10 pm. Their hotels were only one street away from each other and he went to Taehyung's hotel to find him.
They strolled hand in hand in the streets for a while. Taehyung originally wanted to tell him about Yukhei. However, seeing Jungkook's exhausted expression, he changed his mind and hugged Jungkook instead.
Jungkook still had the energy to joke around. "Are you planning to reward me?"
Thinking back on the humiliation at the ice stadium earlier that night, Taehyung felt aggrieved on Jungkook's behalf. But this was out of his control and he wanted to help him disregard that nonsense. Thus, he leaned into Jungkook's embrace and rubbed his head against its chest. He said, "Jungkook, you can do it."
Jungkook thought of something and ruffled Taehyung's hair. He let out a soundless sigh.
When Taehyung returned to his hotel room that night, he scrolled through his conversation history to find Yukhei. When he clicked in, he discovered that they last texted during New Year. The last messages that they sent each other were New Year greetings.
It had been so long and what he knew of Yukhei now was all from the news. He wondered how the younger was doing.
Taehyung texted him:
