Only Seven- Rewriting

TAEHYUNG

Friday, 25/03/22

It’s days like these that I hate residency the most. Days when I have to work for long hours until I’m too exhausted to even drive myself home.

I should probably call one of the guys to come get me because I don’t think I’ll make it home without falling asleep.

I don’t want to risk an accident. We already have too much on our plates and I don’t want to add on that.

So with that thought in mind, I head to the locker room to change out of my grimy scrubs.

When I get there, I decide to take a quick shower instead so I don’t get my car dirty. I don’t need to bring hospital germs to my house.

When I get out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around my waist, I head to my locker to change in the clothes I have in there.

I look around the mostly empty locker room before I drop my towel and slip into the grey sweatpants I keep in there, before I pull on my t-shirt.

I decide to check my phone and find a voice-mail from Yoongi, a small smile lights up my face when I see his name flash on my screen.

I press play on the message and put it to my ear. I listen as his shaky voice comes through causing the smile on my face to fall immediately. 

“Tae, I need you to call me as soon as you get this. Something happened so just call me as soon as possible. I love you, baby.” His voice cracks at the last words and a feeling of worry and dread twists my insides.

What could be so bad that it made Yoongi, the strongest person I’ve ever met, sound like he’s about to breakdown crying?

I decide to text him to come pick me up so that he’ll tell me what happened on the car ride home.

TAEHYUNG
Yoongi I got your message. Can you come pick me up so we can talk?

While I wait for a text back, I proceed to put my shoes on and pack my scrubs into the gym bag I bring to work. Pausing to check my phone when it dings with a notification.

YOONGLES
I can’t pick you up right now baby. I’m at the hospital. I texted Joon to come get you.

At the hospital? What is he doing there?

The questions in my head go unanswered as I spiral, trying to figure out what Yoongi could be doing at the freaking hospital.

Oh my fucking god! Could it be the emergency he called me about earlier.

It’s ten at night now and the message came in at around eleven in the morning, I decide to call him to ease my worries.

His tired voice as he greets me increase the worry and concern that I’m already feeling, “Baby, what happened?” I ask him, worry thick on my own voice but at least I don’t sound as exhausted as I feel.

Hell my exhaustion disappeared the second I read Yoongi’s text.

He sighs through the phone, “I don’t want to tell you over the phone, babe. Joon is on his way there now and I told him to bring you here. Jungkook is here as well.” His voice sounds drained and my heart aches for my boyfriend.

What could’ve been so bad that it reduced him to this?

 I nod even though he can’t see me, “Okay.” I don’t know what else to say and we both stay silent for a few seconds before I break it. “I love you, okay?”

“I love you more, baby.” He says before I hear Jungkook’s muffled voice, “Jungkook says he loves you too.” Yoongi chuckles tiredly, making me smile a little.
