The Acceptance

"Good Morning!" - I said in a sleepy voice as Jungkook's lips touched my eyes.

"Sorry! Did I wake you up?"- he asked softly while stroking my bed hair. "No..I was about to get up anyway." -i snuggled up against his chest as I embraced  his waist. He wrapped me around with his hands as he slowly ventured out - "Let's stay like this for a while. "I replied with a giggle as he kept tickling me on my neck.

Suddenly his phone started to buzz but he didn't seem to move."Your phone's ringing. Pick it up."- I said while looking up at him."Let it. I am busy now." - he mumbled. "I think it's important. They keep calling . Pick it up no?" - I poked him on his stomach as he turned to the bedside stand to get his phone.

As soon as he picked up the call, he shrieked in shock - "What???? I am coming right now!"

He sprang out of the bed and started to get dresses hastily .

"What happened ? Tell me? Why are you so tensed? Jungkook  ?" - I hastily came out of the bed as I asked.

"Nana...Nana is in hospital. She's unconscious for last 5 hours. Oh god! I am...." - he hastily put on his overcoat as he said. He was in tears. Why shouldn't he ? Mrs.Jeon was the one who brought him up all by herself.

She is his only living family now.

"Calm down! Calm down! Give me five minutes. I am coming with you okay ? Let's go together."- I said while rushing into the bathroom to get dressed.

We reached the hospital within 30 minutes. I dialled Joon Ki up to postpone today's shoots.When we reached her ward ,We saw her secretary Mr.Park restlessly pacing up and down  outside her room . As soon as he noticed Jungkook ,he lunged to him with a worrying face. "Mr.Park, she's been unconscious for five hours and now you decided to tell me that? What were you thinking?" - Jungkook yelled at the trembling guy who was almost ready to go on his knees.

"Calm down. We are in the hospital, Mr.Jeon!" - I whispered in Jungkook's ear as I let him to sit in the waiting area. Mr.Park was still shaking . I grabbed a bottle of water from the vending machine and gave it to him. He gulped the whole bottle down in one go and almost mumbled a thank you.

"I...I...One of the maid found her unconscious in her study and called me up . I rushed to the mansion as soon as possible. The doctors said she...She..." - Mr.Park murmured the details.

"She what? Tell me what did the doctor say?Where's the doctor? Take me to him." - Jungkook yelled again as he was about to grab Mr.Park's collar.

I grabbed his shoulder as  the doctor assigned  to Mrs.Jeon came out of his room.

"Mr.Jeon, We need to talk. Come to my office."- He left after he finished talking.

"Can I come along?" - I asked as I looked at Jungkook.

"Will you hyung?" - he asked with a look of helplessness in his eyes. "Ofcourse i will." - I clasped his forearm as we went inside the doctor's room.

"Look Jungkook-ah!" - Dr.Bong, Mrs.Jeon's doctor, took a deep breath before he ventured out -"She had a mild attack again."

"Again? What do you mean by again, Uncle Bong?" - Jungkook asked in a flurried tone. His face had become pale. Eye brows furrowed , he looked intently at the doctor.  "The first attack was four years ago when you were in abroad. She had an attack but asked me to not to tell you because she thought it would hamper your studies." - The doctor said , glancing at me then shifting his eyes to Jungkook.

"What should I do ,Uncle Bong? What should I do?" - Jungkook shook his head as he covered his face with his palms.

"Look child, calm down. I know you are scared but I must tell you, she had it coming. She constantly overworked herself despite me reminding her again and again. When she wakes up, you need to talk to her. Less her responsibilities. She's old now. She can't go on like this. She needs complete rest. Make sure she takes rest. And then only she would live." - Dr.Bong spoke with a frown in his forehead. Silence fell upon us and it was only broken when someone knocked at the door.

"Doctor, Mrs.Jeon has woken up." - The nurse informed. Dr.Bong rose up from his chair and before leaving the room , he said -"Remember one thing. Do not agitate her. She's not in the right condition." - He looked at me once again before leaving the room.

"I should stay outside Jungkook-ah! She might get annoyed if she sees me.I don't want to..."- I hesitated before finishing the sentence. Jungkook was already tensed up . He silently nodded at my words and stepped inside.

Few minutes passed, The nurse came out of the room and politely asked - "Sir, she is asking for you. Go inside."

I nodded my head and before stepping my foot inside , took a deep breath and said to myself "No matter what happens, stay silent."

"Mr.Kim!" - she said in a feeble manner and raised her hand to beckon me for sitting.

"Dr.Bong, will you step outside for a while? I need a moment with them." - She spoke as she tried to sit up. Jungkook rushed to help her. She put her feeble hand on her grandson's shoulder and smiled .

After Dr.Bong stepped outside, she was silent for a while. Jungkook held her hand as he sat by her side. I sat beside Jungkook and looked down at the floor.

I don't know why I feel it happened because of me.

"Don't blame yourself  Mr.Kim. It was me who has  overworked herself and got sick." - She tried to smile as she looked at me.

"Nana, you will take rest from now on.Is that clear?"- Jungkook put his head on her lap as he looked up at her.

"Then who will lead the company?"- She scoffed as she stroked his hair.

"Mr.Kim, pardon my rudeness in that day. I must have overstepped the boundaries. Now that I was almost on the verge of dying, I..." - she gave it a pause as she was having trouble in breathing.

"Mrs.Jeon , You shouldn't speak in this situation. We could..."- I said carefully trying not to agitate her.

"No. I must speak. I am ready to accept your relationship. Jungkook is the only one I have left in this world. I will not survive if he abandons me. So...I am ready. But there is a condition, my child." - she looked at Jungkook who was now so happy that his grandmother was ready to accept me.

"You must take the lead in my company. You will take over my position. I have already called the board meeting and it's in two days. Tell me what will you do?" - she said sternly as she looked at both of us.

"I am ready. I am ready to take over Nana. Thank you for accepting hyung. Thank you." - Tears were rolling down his face as he hugged Mrs.Jeon. She laughed heartily as she wrapped her hands around Jungkook.

"Come here ,Mr.Kim."- she spread her hands towards me as she said softly.

I hesitated for a while and hugged her. I was in verge of tears. All these years of hurting was over. She really accepted me.

"What a reunion i am seeing here!"- We turned our heads as Jangha stepped inside along with the nurse telling him to go outside.

"So you finally accepted your gay grandson huh, old hag?" - Jangha mocked at Mrs.Jeon as he sat in the couch putting his legs on the table.

"Get out." - Jungkook spoke every letter clearly.  I could see him clenching his fist.

"Better that accepting a jerk like you. He's competent, he's capable and more over he's the one I chose. So get out before I call the security." - Mrs.Jeon gritted her teeth as she spoke.

"You killed my mother and then gave what was mine to him. Do you think I will let it slide? No, You old slut. You just wait and watch. I..." - before he could finish his sentence , a punch was thrown at him and he was taken aback. It was me who punched and I was shaking in anger.

I don't know why I am feeling so angry now. But I am ready to break his teeth .

"How dare are you? You cocksucker! You will pay for this. If I don't disfigure that pretty face of yours then I will change my name!" - his punch was barred by jungkook who landed a knockout blow on Jangha. Jangha fell on the ground and the securities rushed in to take him away. He was yelling like a frenzy .

"Mr.Kim, Thank you." - Mrs.Jeon spoke slowly as she nodded her head in gratitude.

"Can I call you Nana too?" - I hesitantly asked as I was fidgeting with my fingers.

"Why not Taehyung-ah?" - she smiled with her eyes as she replied.

Jungkook wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we looked at her sleeping peacefully now with a smile on her face.

"Thank you for everything hyung! Thank you!" - Jungkook held my hand as he planted a kiss when we were inside the car.

"Isn't your grandmother also mine? Why do you say thank you then?" - I crooned. Jungkook hugged me tightly as he broke out in tears. I slowly rubbed his back as my clothes got soaked in his tears.

This was all we wanted. Acceptance of our love. It was Nana's love and blessing I wanted. The tears my lover is shedding are the feeling that he had been bottling up inside him.

I hugged him tightly as I looked outside. The nature looked happy today. All the snow had melted away. The day seemed brighter now . The sky looked bluer and the Sun looked delicious. A happy smile slowly crawled back in my face as I slowly wiped his tears and planted a kiss on his forehead and then on his lips. I cooed in his ear - "Hyungie is always with you , Jungkook-ah. No matter what happens, I am always with you. I love you."

Jungkook hid his face on my chest as he mumbled - "I love you too!"
