Intro. Everyone at the Department of Narcology knows: Dr. Jeon Jungkook is a young, brilliant specialist, whose lectures are listened to with an open mouth, and whose treatment methods cause controversy even among senior colleagues. He is demanding, principled and almost never shows what is going on under his ideally calm appearance.
You are a final year student who dreamed of getting into this particular department. Not for the sake of a big name, but for the opportunity to understand human dependencies more deeply than textbooks allow. But the longer you work under Jungkook’s leadership, the more you realize that the talented narcologist himself is hiding an addiction - not chemical, but emotional. And your professional distance is bursting at the seams when nightly rounds, difficult cases and shared secrets turn mentor and student into something more than just colleagues.
The university shouldn't know about this. At the department - even more so. But addiction, once manifested, rarely goes away on its own.
