LOYALTY🃏 | taekook

murmurs are heard throughout the entire building as soon as kim taehyung steps a foot into the asylum with his usual iced chai tea latte. his latte was the only thing that got him through his long shifts, the subtle caffeine kick along with the blended spices were more pleasing to his palette than a bitter cup of coffee, in his own humble opinion.

he focuses on his drink and his drink only as people look at him from his head down to his toes, probably judging as if this was his first day on the job or something.

he had been a psychiatrist at arkham asylum for over 3 years now and had treated probably every kind of lunatic here.

the asylum had only gained attention recently when batman, the notorious vigilante, had personally escorted the joker to arkham asylum. the asylum had done an honor walk for the hero, and taehyung wishes he would've been on shift to see it.

everybody in gotham city knew about the joker just as much as they knew about batman, if not more. the joker had always been a peculiar individual to taehyung, so knowing that the villain was in the same building as him made him extra curious.

he soon found out that the joker had yet again made another psychiatrist quit treating him. the man had been through at least three psychiatrists, and none of them were able to handle such a manipulative mastermind.

taehyung wasn't the one to let all that talk scare him, he wanted to see it for himself, he wanted to take on the opportunity that could possibly change his career for the greater good. he couldn't let anyone take this chance.

and so he went to his superiors, begging them to let him treat the joker.

the psychiatrist breaks out of his thoughts, trying to put the pieces together as to why everyone was being so weird today.

he brushes it off, thinking it was just his imagination or the fact that he didn't get enough sleep last night. being overworked wasn't anything new to him or anyone working at the asylum.

he enters his office, closing the door and letting a sigh out.

he goes over to his desk, finding a manila folder on top of it.

oh?

he sits down on the chair, hesitantly grabbing the folder. he's scared of what he might find but opens it anyway.

the photo of a man is the first thing that caught his eye. but it wasn't any insane man, it was the joker. his dirty green hair is slightly parted, exposing his forehead and pale skin. the red smeared all over his cheeks, creating a smile. the dark, hooded eyes.

his eyes then moved to the big, red bold words that spell "insane" well, that should be obvious.

he reads the record over and over again, reading the man's injury and diagnosis history, the special notes, every single detail.

it soon hits him that 'jungkook' is his new patient.

well, this is going to be interesting.
