Slave to a King | Jinkook

Thirty-One

"Why can't I be in there? I want to know what's going on!" Jimin demands as he stands on his tiptoe, trying to peep inside the room through the small window in the middle of the door to see if he could see anything.

The King and the medical staff are the only ones allowed. "Keep calm; we will be informed shortly." Yoongi grabbed his waist, pulling him away.

The tears streamed down Jimin's face as he relaxed in Yoongi's arms, "I keep thinking, what if anything happened to Jin or the baby? I'd be responsible, right? It was my fault for everything I did; he deserved better than that. I must take responsibility for all of this."

"Crying won't change anything; it's already done. Let's hope they are both okay. So stop worrying yourself because I'm sure the King will direct the doctor to do their best."

"Have you ever known a baby to be born at seven months?" Jimin turned to look at Yoongi.

Yoongi nods, "yes, and at six months too, everything will be okay; stop worrying." Yoongi wasn't sure whether things would go well, but he had to remain optimistic. He wasn't sure of all the details of what was going on, but for the sake of Jimin, he had to remain hopeful somehow.

"I think I should get Jin to leave Jungkook; it was a bad idea bringing him here-"

"Okay, enough of your nonsense, now be quiet while we wait for some news."

Jungkook stared down at his daughter Moon, born prematurely at thirty-four weeks, weighing 2.2 kg; it was the first time any of his children were born prematurely.

"She will be fine; she is breathing well by herself. However, we need to keep her here for a while to monitor her to make sure she is doing well with the rest of her condition." The doctor came next to Jungkook and spoke, already knowing the concerns he was probably having.

"Can I hold her?"

"No, my King, not right now. We need to monitor her before we allow you to hold her, but we will let you know as soon as we feel it's safe."

When the doctor saw the King's glare, she swallowed and stepped back, "you can touch her, her hand, but I can't allow you to hold her; it is for her health and safety, I assure you, my King."

"Are you sure she will be okay?"

"We are still doing tests to check on several things, but at the moment, there is no severe concern. We are keeping her here, for now, to begin to watch things evolve, starting with her weight. It is good news that she does not require oxygen to breathe, which was my main concern, but she has been a sweetheart, capable of breathing on her own."

"If something happens to her, I think you are very well aware of what that will mean for you."

At the King's threat, the doctor widens his eyes, "I will do my best to keep her well, my King."

"You should."

"I don't want you here," Jin said as he stared at the King, who he wanted nothing to do with. Because of the King's action, he found it difficult to be in the same room with him, and the fact that he almost lost his daughter made it even harder.

Jungkook looked at the nurses and doctor, who was staring in shock, probably surprised by the disrespectful way Jin had spoken to him, "get out, all of you!" he yelled at them, wanting them to leave immediately.

As they hurried out of the room, he walked over to Jin; he stood over their daughter's bed, looking down at her.

"How dare you speak to me in such a way in front of others! Have you lost your mind?"
