Everyone but myself, and Jungkook, have left to get a hotel. Hobi looked beat down and exhausted. Even as he tried arguing to stay, Yoongi just led him out. Next to go was Namjoon, Taehyung, and Jimin. Olivia cried, but ended up going with her uncles. Jungkook is asleep on the O.R. waiting room couch, but it's not a restful one. I see him tossing and turning, but I just wait patiently for when he'll need me.

I slept on the flight here, so I'm not feeling tired. I hate that this is happening, and I wish that Sophia makes it out of surgery. We've been here for around 3 hours, and she was already in the O.R. for hours before we came. That means the surgery is taking a very long time. It's not sitting well with me, but there is nothing to do but wait. I am leaning back, resting my eyes, when I hear Jungkook's cry.

"Noooo.... Don't go! Please!"

I move to him immediately and shake him awake. His big doe-like eyes look completely lost as he is almost hyperventilating from whatever was in his mind.

"Jungkook-ah... It's just a dream... Take a deep breath, alright?"

The door opens, and a petite nurse walks in, coming directly to us. Jungkook sits up straight with fear all over his face.

"Mr. Jeon... Sophia is out of surgery. They are taking her to post-op to monitor her, and then she'll be in a room later."

"How is she? Is she going to be fine?"

His nerves are high as he wrings his hands waiting for a response. I move to sit next to him, taking his hands to settle him.

"It's still early Mr. Jeon. The brain bleed was severe, but they were able to stop it. Now the only thing we can do is wait. Her intercranial pressure will be monitored, and hopefully it will not go up again."

"When can I see her?"

"It'll be a while still... They will move her to a room after a few hours. You should go and get some sleep sir. In the morning" "NO! I'm not leaving until I see her with my own eyes... I want to tell her I'm still here... I need to..."

His voice breaks in the end, and I see him beg. The nurse, watches him break a little, but moves quickly to sit next to him.

"I know you want to... I'll see what I can do... It won't be for long if the Dr actually agrees, so you need to understand..."

His head is nodding quickly, and she leaves him to try to get him his chance. "It's going to be alright Kookie-ah... She made it this far... Think positive." He is staring at the door the nurse went through, willing her to come and give him good news. When the door opens, a man wearing surgical gear enters, and comes to sit on the table in front of Jungkook.

"Mr. Jeon... The nurse says that you are asking to see Sophia. I need to go over a few things with you before I allow it. Alright?" Jungkook just nods, and I move my hand to his back, rubbing it gently.

"We had to cut into Sophia's skull to access the bleed. Because we prioritized the baby, her brain was under pressure for longer than we would have liked. The unknown is if she'll have any lasting damage. Things look alright, but we won't know definitely, until she wakes up. In the meantime, we have not closed her skull yet. Do you understand?"

"Yes. Do you think she will be ok?"

I see how desperate Jungkook is, and pat his back, asking the Dr what Jungkook doesn't dare.

"She not die now? Right?"

I hadn't understood most of what the Dr already said, but this is what we want to know.

"I think she'll survive... I can't promise though... It's very early."

"He see her?"

I watch the Dr stand and nod to Jungkook. My young friend almost stumbles as he jumps to his feet. I rise and tell Jungkook I'll be waiting, but he stops. "Jin hyung? Can you come with me?" The Dr nods and I follow them to the hallway leading to where Sophia is. I hear all the different machines, and see people everywhere, taking care of different patients. The Dr stops outside a room and turns to us.
